(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) 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) ISWI-family chromatin remodelers organize nucleosome arrays, while SWI/SNF-family remodelers (RSC) disorganize and eject nucleosomes, implying an antagonism that is largely unexplored in vivo. Here, we describe two independent genetic screens for rsc suppressors that yielded mutations in the promoter-focused ISW1a complex, or mutations in the ‘basic patch’ of histone H4 (an epitope that regulates ISWI activity), strongly supporting RSC-ISW1a antagonism in vivo. 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) Here we present evidence that precise positioning of the +1 promoter nucleosome in yeast is critical for efficient TBP binding and pre-initiation complex assembly, and is determined, at least in part, by the action of two key factors, the essential chromatin remodeler RSC and one (or more) of a small set of ubiquitous pioneer transcription factors (PTFs). Despite their widespread co-localization, we show that RSC and PTFs often act independently to generate accessible chromatin. more...

(Submitter supplied) We analyed the nucleosome positions by using 2 concentrations of micrococcal nuclease on yeast strains that were grown in raffinose or galactose containing media (synthetic complete). Strains contained FRB-tags to Sth1, Swi2, Sth1 & Swi2 or Sth1 and TBP, where TBP was tagged on one of two alleles in a diploid strain. Cells were treated for 60 min either with 7.5 uM rapamycin or the same volume of DMSO.

(Submitter supplied) The histone acetyltransferase (HAT) subunit of coactivator complex SAGA, Gcn5, is required for efficient eviction of promoter nucleosomes at certain highly expressed yeast genes, including those activated by transcription factor Gcn4 in amino acid-deprived cells; however, the importance of other HAT complexes in this process was poorly understood. Analyzing mutations that disrupt the integrity or activity of HAT complexes NuA4 or NuA3, or the HAT Rtt109, revealed that only NuA4 acts on par with Gcn5, and functions additively, in evicting and repositioning promoter nucleosomes and stimulating transcription of starvation-induced genes. more...

(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) Nucleosomes are a significant barrier to the repair of UV damage because they impede damage recognition by nucleotide excision repair (NER). The RSC chromatin remodeler functions in cells to promote DNA access by moving or evicting nucleosomes and has been linked to NER in yeast. Here, we report genome-wide repair maps of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in yeast cells lacking Rsc2.

(Submitter supplied) Chromatin remodelers influence genetic processes by altering nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, yeast ISWI and CHD remodelers require > 20 bp of extranucleosomal DNA for remodeling, but linker DNA in S. cerevisiae averages < 20 bp. To resolve this paradox, we have mapped the genomic distributions of the yeast Isw1, Isw2, and Chd1 remodelers at base-pair resolution. Surprisingly, remodelers are highly enriched at promoter nucleosome depleted regions (5' NDRs), where they bind to regions of extended linker DNA. more...
