H2A.Z nucleosome occupancy determined by qChIP-seq in the TBP-FRB and the untagged control (no FRB) strains with and without rapamycin treatment.

(A,B) Sequencing tag coverage of H2A.Z (in green), FT (indicated as H2A in red), and input (in gray) at a representative genomic region on chromosome III. Blue traces indicate Δ(Z/A), the H2A.Z-to-H2A (Z/A) ratio with rapamycin treatment (+RAP) minus that without treatment (no RAP). Plus signs and arrowheads mark +1 nucleosomes and transcription start sites, respectively. (C,D) Compiled read counts (midpoints) of H2A.Z (green), H2A (red), and input (gray) nucleosomes were centered around the dyad of 4,738 +1 nucleosomes. (E) Verification of the qChIP-seq data by qPCR using primer pairs covering the +1 nucleosomes of the indicated promoters and regions within the indicated open reading frames (ORF). (F) Scatter plots and histograms showing the change in (H2A.Z/input) of the +1 and reference nucleosomes as a function of endogenous H2A.Z level before rapamycin treatment. The (H2A.Z/input) value represents the ratio of H2A.Z tag coverage over input tag coverage within a 120 bp region around the nucleosome dyad. Open black circles mark the +1 nucleosomes (Rhee et al., 2014). Orange dots mark the reference nucleosomes used for normalization. Dotted lines represent the upper and lower thresholds for significant change in H2A.Z levels, which are defined as two standard deviations from the median of the no FRB control. The percentages of data points within and outside the threshold regions are indicated. The qChIP-seq and qPCR data represent averages of >3 independent ChIP reactions (technical replicates) of two independent cultures (biological replicates). The error bars in (E) represent standard deviation.

A proposed model to account for the constitutive histone turnover at yeast promoters.

(A) The conversion of a +1 H2A nucleosome to an H2A.Z nucleosome by SWR1 is followed by nucleosome disassembly. Histone chaperones are omitted for simplicity. NDR: nucleosome-depleted region. ‘+1’: +1 nucleosome. TSS: transcription start site. H2A.Z-H2B dimers are in green, H2A-H2B dimers in red, and (H3-H4)2 tetramers in gray. (Step I-a) SWR1 replaces one nucleosomal H2A-H2B dimer in a homotypic 'AA' +1 nucleosome with a dimer of H2A.Z-H2B to generate a heterotypic 'AZ' nucleosome. (Step I-b) SWR1 replaces the second H2A-H2B dimer with H2A.Z-H2B generating a homotypic 'ZZ' nucleosome. (Steps I-c and I-d) The reported reverse replacement reaction by the INO80 complex (Papamichos-Chronakis et al., 2011). (Step II) The ZZ nucleosome is disassembled by an unknown mechanism indicated by a question mark. (Step III) A canonical AA nucleosome is reassembled. (B) Same as (A) except step II is blocked.

Immunoblot analysis to control for anti-FLAG IP efficiency.

The nucleosomes used in the IP reactions were prepared from formaldehyde fixed haploid cells expressing the 2xFLAG-epitope-tagged Htz1 (H2A.ZFL). Nucleosomes were released from crude chromatin by MNase digestion. After centrifugation, the supernatant was filtered through a low-binding PVDF membrane. A sample of the soluble nucleosome was collected as the input (IN) of the IP reaction. After incubation with anti-FLAG agarose, an equivalent amount of the flow-through fraction (FT) was collected. Both the IN and the FT were heated at 95˚C in SDS-PAGE sample buffer for 30 min to allow decrosslinking before analysis with SDS-PAGE and anti-H2A.Z immunoblotting. Serially diluted samples of the IN fraction were loaded next to the FT lane for comparison. The number above each lane indicates the relative sample volume applied to the gel. Western signals were developed by the ECL Prime reagent (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh, PA) and imaged by the ImageQuant FLA4010 imaging system (GE Healthcare). Representative western blots for individual IP reactions of both no RAP and + RAP samples are shown for the no FRB control in (A), TBP-FRB in (B), and RPB1-FRB in (C), and INO80-FRB in (D).

The strategy used to normalize relative H2A and H2A.Z occupancy.

(A) Examples of the no-Z-zones used in the normalization of the H2A profile. (B) An overview of the ‘TAZ’ normalization approach used to rescale the H2A.Z and H2A nucleosomal profiles. The compiled tag counts (midpoints) in relation to the distance from the +1 nucleosomal dyads (n = 4,738) were plotted for H2A (A), H2A.Z (Z) and input (T) nucleosomes, which are in red, green, and black, respectively. To normalize the raw data, the scaling factors, m and n, were applied to the H2A and H2A.Z profiles respectively. The scaling factor m was determined for each IP reaction by dividing the tag count within the no-Z-zones of the input fraction by that of the H2A fraction. The scaling factor n was subsequently determined by a curve-fitting algorithm such that the sum of the resulting profiles (m × H2A + n × H2A.Z) equals, to a first approximation, the input nucleosomal profile. (C) The informatics pipeline of TAZ normalization. The sequencing tags of the H2A, H2A.Z, and input fractions (in FASTQ file format) were mapped to the yeast genome by bowtie (Langmead et al., 2009). Mapped reads were either presented as tag coverage (density covered by paired-end reads) or tag counts (density of mid-points of paired-end reads) along the yeast genome. Bowtie was also used to determine the tag counts within the no-Z-zones in the input and the H2A fractions. The TAZ curve-fitting algorithm is provided in a Python script, which requires four inputs: the scaling factor m and the compiled nucleosome profiles of H2A, H2A.Z and input around the +1 dyads. The algorithm generates the scaling factor n for normalization of the H2A.Z profile.

Promoters enriched for the PIC (based on Sua7 occupancy) were grouped into high and low TFIID (based on Taf1 occupancy) and were then sorted by mRNA abundance (n = 3,919) (Lipson et al., 2009; Rhee and Pugh, 2012). The ribosomal protein (RP) genes (n = 128) are 'zoomed in 4x' meaning that the line thickness is 4 times of the other genes. (B) Compiled nucleosome tag counts of H2A.Z (green), H2A (red), and input (gray) around the +1 dyads of the RP genes. (C) The +1 nucleosomes were grouped according to transcriptional frequency (Holstege et al., 1998) and the (H2A.Z/input) values were presented as box plots. Box: interquartile range (IQR); line in box: median; whiskers: range. The most active genes (>50 mRNA/hr) were sub-divided into two groups that are SAGA- or TFIID-enriched. The number of +1 nucleosomes in the transcriptional frequency groups <1, 1–4, 4–16, 16–50, and >50 mRNA/hr are 937, 1932, 1018, 219 and 161, respectively. There are 22 promoters in the SAGA >50 group and 130 in the TFIID >50 group.

An updated histone cycle model.

Step I: The SWR1 complex is recruited to the NDR and replaces the two nucleosomal H2A-H2B dimers with H2A.Z-H2B dimers. The H2A.Z-H2B dimers are always bound by histone chaperones in vivo but is omitted here for simplicity (Luk et al., 2007). Step II-a: Assembly of the PIC at NDR adjacent to the +1 H2A.Z nucleosome. General transcription factors are identified with single letters for simplicity. The model of PIC was adapted from (Sainsbury et al., 2015) Step II-b: The PIC engages the H2A.Z nucleosome. Dotted black lines depict the unstructured ssDNA, which is not drawn to scale. Red line depicts the nascent RNA. Black arrow indicates the transcription start site (TSS). (H3-H4)2 tetramers are in gray, H2A.Z-H2B dimers in green, and H2A-H2B dimers in red. Step III-a: After the dissociation of Pol II and GTFs from the promoter, a canonical H2A nucleosome reassembles over the TSS but at an imprecise position that is likely too upstream of the TSS. Step III-b: Chromatin remodelers, such as RSC, slide the octamer downstream to the stereotypic +1 position completing the histone cycle.
