(Submitter supplied) Gcn4 is a yeast transcriptional activator induced by amino acid starvation. ChIP-seq analysis revealed 546 genomic sites occupied by Gcn4 in starved cells, representing ~30% of all Gcn4 binding-motifs. Deviation from the consensus motif and nucleosome occupancy are key negative determinants of Gcn4 binding. Surprisingly, only ~40% of the bound sites are in promoter regions, and only ~50-67% of these activate transcription, indicating extensive negative control over Gcn4 function. more...

(Submitter supplied) ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers (CRs), including SWI/SNF, RSC and Ino80C in budding yeast, are thought to stimulate transcription by repositioning or evicting promoter nucleosomes. The relative importance of these CRs in stimulating activator binding and recruitment of TATA-binding protein (TBP) to promoters is incompletely understood. Examining mutants depleted of the catalytic subunits of these CRs, we determined that RSC and Ino80C stimulate binding of transcription factor Gcn4 to nucleosome-depleted regions, or linkers between genic nucleosomes, at multiple target genes activated by Gcn4 in amino acid-starved cells, frequently by evicting nucleosomes from the Gcn4 binding motifs.  At some genes, SWI/SNF functionally complements RSC, while opposing RSC at others to limit Gcn4 binding. more...

(Submitter supplied) Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors are central to gene regulation. They are often associated with consensus binding sites that predict far more genomic sites than are bound in vivo. One explanation is that most sites are blocked by nucleosomes, such that only sites in nucleosome-depleted regulatory regions are bound. Alternatively, the consensus site may be poorly defined. We compared the binding of the yeast transcription factor Gcn4 in vivo using published ChIP-seq data (546 sites) and in vitro, using a modified SELEX method ("G-SELEX"), which utilizes short genomic DNA fragments to quantify binding at all sites. more...

(Submitter supplied) In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, deletion of genes encoding proteins of the large ribosomal subunit (RPLs) increases the replicative lifespan in a Gcn4-dependent manner. However, how Gcn4, a key transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthesis genes, increases lifespan, is unknown. Here we show that Gcn4 acts as a repressor of protein synthesis. By analyzing the mRNA and protein abundance, the ribosome occupancy and protein synthesis rate in various yeast strains, we demonstrate that Gcn4 is sufficient to reduce protein synthesis and to increase yeast lifespan. more...

(Submitter supplied) TFIID and SAGA complexes play a critical role in RNA Polymerase II dependent activated transcription. Although the two regulatory complexes are recruited to promoters by activation domain-interactions, the contribution of the different subunits or the different domains of the individual subunits is not completely understood. Taf9 is a shared subunit in TFIID and SAGA and has an N-terminal H3-like histone fold domain and a highly conserved C-terminal domain, Taf9-CTD. more...

(Submitter supplied) We examine how SUMO post-translational modification of the yeast transcription factor Sko1 affects its binding site selection and affinity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing was performed in strains expressing wild-type Sko1 (Sko1-WT) or Sko1 that harbors an Arg-to-Lys mutation at Lys 567 (Sko1-MT), that impairs its sumoylation. We find that, compared with Sko1-WT, SUMO-deficient Sko1 binds numerous additional sites that are near promoters of non-Sko1 target genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) The chromatin remodelers (CRs) SWI/SNF and RSC function in evicting promoter nucleosomes at highly expressed yeast genes, particularly those activated by transcription factor Gcn4. Ino80 remodeling complex (Ino80C) can establish nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) in reconstituted chromatin, and was implicated in removing histone variant H2A.Z from the -1 and +1 nucleosomes flanking NDRs; however, Ino80C’s function in transcriptional activation in vivo is not well understood. more...

(Submitter supplied) Chaperones, nucleosome remodeling complexes and histone acetyltransferases have been implicated in nucleosome disassembly at promoters of particular yeast genes, but whether these co-factors function ubiquitously, and the impact of nucleosome eviction on transcription genome-wide, are poorly understood. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation of histone H3 and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in mutants lacking single or multiple co-factors to address these issues for ~200 genes belonging to the Gcn4 transcriptome, of which ~70 exhibit marked reductions in H3 promoter occupancy on induction by amino acid starvation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Set2-Rpd3S pathway is important for the control of transcription memory. Mutation of components of this pathway results in cryptic transcription initiation within the coding region of approximately 30% of yeast genes. Specifically, deletion of the Set2 histone methyltransferase or Rco1, a component of the Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex leads to hyperacetylation of certain open reading frames (ORFs). more...

(Submitter supplied) Carbon source is the basic nutrition and is essential for yeast growth. We grew the yeast cells (BY4741 strain) under different carbon sources including glucose with different concentration, galactose and raffinose. We generated bulk-cell RNA-seq data and investigated the dynamics of gene expression profiles under different growth conditions. We also generated single-cell RNA-seq data for yeast cells under 2% glucose, and explored the heterogeneity of gene expression within a cell population.

(Submitter supplied) In S. cerevisiae, histone variant H2A.Z is deposited in euchromatin at the flanks of silent heterochromatin to prevent its ectopic spread. The degree to which H2A.Z is found and functions elsewhere is unknown. Here we show that H2A.Z nucleosomes are found at promoter regions of nearly all genes in euchromatin. They generally occur as two positioned nucleosomes that flank a nucleosome-free region (NFR) that contains the transcription start site. more...

(Submitter supplied) The classic view of nucleosome organization at active promoters is that two well-positioned nucleosomes flank a nucleosome-depleted region (NDR). However, this view has been recently challenged by contradictory reports as to whether a distinct set of wider (≳150 bp) NDRs instead contain unusually unstable Micrococcal Nuclease-sensitive “fragile” particles, thought to be nucleosomal because of their size. more...

(Submitter supplied) RSC (Remodels the Structure of Chromatin) is a conserved ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex that regulates many biological processes, including transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). We report that not only RSC binds to nucleosomes in coding sequences (CDSs) but also remodels them to promote transcription. RSC MNase ChIP-seq data revealed that RSC-protected fragments were very heterogenous (~80 bp to 180 bp) compared to the sharper profile displayed by the MNase inputs (140 bp to 160 bp), supporting the idea that RSC activity promotes accessibility of nucleosomal DNA. more...

(Submitter supplied) In yeast cells, preferential accessibility of the HIS3-PET56 promoter region is determined by a general property of the DNA sequence, not by defined sequence elements. In vivo, this region is largely devoid of nucleosomes, and accessibility is directly related to reduced histone density. The HIS3-PET56 and DED1 promoter regions associate poorly with histones in vitro, indicating that intrinsic nucleosome positioning and stability is a major determinant of preferential accessibility. more...

(Submitter supplied) H2A.Z acetylation has been suggested to regulate genes but effects on gene expression globally have not been reported. We find that the H2A.Z acetylation sites are required for normal growth in the presence of caffeine and therefore examined the gene expression response to caffeine when H2A.Z can’t be acetylated. Surprisingly we found little or no change in gene induction but a marked failure to remove H2A.Z from activated promoters. more...

(Submitter supplied) The histone variant H2A.Z, which has been reported to have both activating and repressive effects on gene expression, is known to occupy nucleosomes at the 5’ ends of protein-coding genes. We now find that H2A.Z is also significantly enriched in gene coding regions and at the 3’ ends of genes in budding yeast, where it co-localises with histone marks associated with active promoters. By comparing H2A.Z binding to global gene expression in budding yeast strains engineered so that normally unstable transcripts are abundant, we show that H2A.Z is required for normal levels of antisense transcripts as well as sense ones. more...
