Assembly in vitro Histones + DNA + salt assemble into aggregates Histones + DNA + negatively charged proteins = mononucleosomes and poor nucleosmal array (irregularly spaced; “smear”) Irregular assembly Dynamics of ATP-dependent chromatin assembly by ACF Dmitry V.

in vitro Xenopus/Drosophila extracts =chromatin (±regularly spaced) Dynamics of ATP-dependent chromatin assembly by ACF Dmitry V. Fyodorov & James T. Kadonaga NATURE | VOL 418 | 22 AUGUST 2002 |
What is in the extract? Histone chaperones
Histone chaperones negatively charged proteins help assembly; prevent aggregation NAP1 H2A/H2B Nuclear Import, nucleosome disruption, histone variant incorporation nucleoplasmin H2A/H2B Storage, sperm histone exchange N1/N2 H3/H4 Storage
More histone chaperones CAF-1 Chromatin assembly factor 1
Replication-coupled chromatin assembly factor CAF-1 (identified in yeast; Bruce Stillman lab) brings H3/H4 onto newly synthesized DNA CAF-1 3 subunits: p150 (Cac1) binds PCNA p60 (Cac2) binds ASF1 p48 (Cac3) binds histoneshistone binding in many complexes Roles nucleosome deposition after replication heterochromatin maintenance
Smallest CAF subunit bound to histone H4 Ransom et al., Cell, 2010

- - - Cac2 interacts with PCNA when Cac1 is present PCNA PCNA connects DNA replication to epigenetic inheritance in yeast Zhiguo Zhang, Kei-ichi Shibahara & Bruce Stillman NATURE | VOL 408 | 9 NOVEMBER 2000
Role of PCNA in chromatin assembly? 1. Adenine deficient yeast are red 2. Move Adenine biosynthesis gene into heterochromatin ± inactive; red colonies 3. Mutagenize strain 4. improper heterochromatin assembly in PCNA mutants causes Adenine biosynthesis gene reactivation; more whitish colonies PCNA connects DNA replication to epigenetic inheritance in yeast Zhiguo Zhang, Kei-ichi Shibahara* & Bruce Stillman* NATURE | VOL 408 | 9 NOVEMBER 2000 | PCNA wt PCNA mutant Ade + Ade - Activation of Ade in telomeric heterochromatin in PCNA mutants

Parental nucleosome segregation (hatched) De novo nucleosome assembly (unhatched)
New nucleosome formation after replication 1 H3/H4 tetramer OR 2 H3/H4 dimers bind DNA 2 dimers H2A/H2B bind H3/H4 tetramer DNA first very reactive with histones, then matures Nucleosome deposition is essential if repressed, DNA will be duplicated but cell cycle arrest in G2 Histone synthesis occurs at G1/S
Newly synthesized histones have acetylated tails cytoplasmic (B-type) HAT: HAT1 HAT: histone acetyltransferase pattern of acetylation differs from acetylation involved in gene regulation Modifications on H4: H4K5ac, H4K12ac modifications lost after incorporation (HDAC, histone deacetylase)
GCN5 H3K9/14ac Rtt109 H3K56ac Corpet and Almouzni TICB 2008
These modifications are important reduced viability in yeast if mutated Role: Nuclear import Binding/Deposition by histone chaperone Chromatin maturation Mark the histone as newly synthesized for chromatin assembly Modifications are rapidly removed after assembly

Role of ASF1: generates H3 H4 dimer prevents tetramer formation breaks up tetramers presents H3/H4 dimer to CAF1 also role in H3K56ac by Rtt109
Another histone chaperone Rtt106 interacts with CAF1 complex involved in H3/H4 assembly during replication high affinity for H3K56ac (as does CAF1)

Open questions H3/H4 assembled as tetramer or as dimer? H2A/H2B chaperone? how are the parental histones incorporated? how are the chromatin marks copied? Epigenetic memory
Hypothesis 1: H3H4 dimers are incorporated can “copy” modifications, variants intramolecular Hypothesis 2A: H3 H4 tetramers are incorporated repressive marks are default activating marks incorporated during RI assembly variants
Hypothesis 2 Copy modification by recruiting the enzyme that makes the modification to this same modification (Intermolecular)

Chromatin Assembly During Replication Transcription Repair
Chromatin assembly comes in two flavors: Replication coupled (RC) Replication independent (RI)
