Full textIn eukaryotes, chromatin carries both, the genetic and epigenetic information. Mechanisms implicated in maintenance of these information during cell division or DNA repair remain poorly understood and they constitute the main issue of this thesis project. More specifically, the goal of the project is to understand how histone chaperones coordinate their action with partners associated with the replication fork to recognize and preserve the epigenetic marks carried by parental histones and to copy on the newly synthesized histones. The work unravels how ASF1 (Anti-Silencing Function 1) cooperates with the CAF-1 complex (Chromatin Assembly Factor 1) and with the replicative helicase subunit MCM2 (Mini Chromosome Maintenance 2), for the management of H3-H4 histones in DNA replication and repair.Moreover, this thesis investigates the regulation of histone chaperones activities by kinases activated after a replicative stress or DNA damage. In particular, we analyzed the consequences of ASF1 phosphorylation by the enzyme called TLK (Tousled like kinase). The activity of TLK is modulated during the cell cycle and after DNA damage. Characterization of the importance of phosphorylated sites on the chaperone binding properties, allows a better understanding of the role played by different forms of ASF1 in the assembly of histones on DNA and maintenance of epigenetic information. The thesis work included biochemical and structural analysis with a combination of different techniques (SEC-MALS, AUC, ITC, NMR, X-ray crystallography) and functional analysis in cellular models
Benoit, Matthias. "Histone H3 variants and chaperones in Arabidopsis thaliana heterochromatin dynamics." Thesis, Clermont-Ferrand 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014CLF22497/document.
Full textTo understand how histones H3 are handled and how histone dynamics impact higher-order chromatin organization such as chromocenter formation in Arabidopsis, a comprehensive analysis of the different histone chaperone complexes is required. We identified and characterized the different subunits of the Arabidopsis HIR complex. AtHIRA is the central subunit and its loss affects non-nucleosomal histone levels, reduces nucleosomal occupancy not only at euchromatic but also at heterochromatic targets and alleviates transcriptional gene silencing. While the HIR complex-mediated histone deposition is dispensable for higher-order organization of Arabidopsis heterochromatin, I show that CAF-1 plays a central role in chromocenter formation. During postgermination development in cotyledons when centromeric and pericentromeric repeats cluster progressively into chromocenter structures, these repetitive elements but not euchromatic loci become enriched in H3.1 in a CAF-1- dependent manner. This enrichment, together with the appropriate setting of repressive histone post-translational marks, contributes to chromocenter formation, identifying chromatin assembly by CAF-1 as driving force in formation and maintenance of genome structure. Finally, while absence of HIR or CAF-1 complexes sustains viability, only the simultaneous loss of both severely impairs nucleosomal occupancy and plant development, suggesting a limited functional compensation between the different histone chaperone complexes and plasticity in histone variant interaction and deposition in plants
Yettou, Guillaume. "Rôle de la chaperonne d'histone DAXX dans le maintien et l'établissement de l'hétérochromatine." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012STRAJ054.
Full textThe functional role of pericentromeric heterochromatin transcripts remains largely unknown in higher eukaryotes. Nevertheless, it has been shown that these transcripts are subject to very precise control, depending on the cell cycle. Regulation of transcription is tightly controlled by chromatin structure that can be modified locally by changing the biochemical composition of the nucleosome, including the use of histone variants. The aim of my thesis was to better understand the role of the histone chaperone protein DAXX and its histone variant H3.3 in the regulation of transcription of pericentromeric repeats. By the method of TAP-TAG purification, DAXX specific partners were identified from soluble nuclear extracts of murine embryonic fibroblasts. These analyzes revealed that CAF-1, classically associated with H3.1, and the chromatin remodeling factors, ATRX and CHD4, specifically interact with DAXX. The role of these proteins in the control of transcription of pericentromeric heterochromatin was then highlighted by an approach combining RNAi and Q-PCR. Finally, the results strongly suggest that these regulatory mechanisms take place at PML nuclear bodies. Taken together, these data show that there is a spatio-temporal regulation of the fine structure of chromatin regulates transcription of pericentromeric heterochromatin
Locatelli, Maëlle. "The histone chaperone HIRA is crucial for the early establishment of hepatitis B virus minichromosome." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE1169/document.
Full textHepatitis B virus (HBV) chronically infects 240 million people worldwide and is the major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently standard-of-care treatments can achieve longterm viral suppression, but are not able to completely eliminate the virus, due to the persistence of the covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). cccDNA, the viral minichromosome, resides in the nucleus of infected hepatocytes by virtue of its chromatin structure. Indeed, upon entry into hepatocytes, the partially double stranded viral DNA (relaxed circular (rc)DNA) is released into the nucleus, where it is repaired and wrapped by histones to form an episomal chromatinized structure. The mechanisms leading to cccDNA formation and chromatinization are still largely unknown and their elucidation would be a first step toward the identification of new therapeutic targets to impair cccDNA persistence. To this aim, we investigated the role of host factors belonging to DNA repair and nucleosome assembly pathways in cccDNA formation at early time points (i.e. between 30 minutes and 72 hours) post-infection in both HepG2-NTCP cell line and Primary Human Hepatocytes (PHH). We particularly focused on the histone chaperone Hira, which is known to deposit histone variant 3.3 (H3.3) onto cellular DNA in a replication-independent manner and in association to nucleosome reshuffling during transcription and DNA repair. We were able to detect cccDNA in the nuclear fraction of hepatocytes as early as 30 minutes and 24h post-infection, by qPCR and Southern Blotting (SB), respectively. Knock-down of Hira by RNA interference before virus inoculation led to a strong decrease in cccDNA accumulation (both in qPCR and SB) which was independent from HBx protein expression (using an HBx defective virus). rcDNA levels remained stable, indicating either a possible incomplete or delayed rcDNA to cccDNA transition. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that Hira was bound to cccDNA already at 2 hours post-infection and that its recruitment was concomitant with the deposition of histone H3.3 and the binding of HBV capsid protein (HBc). After 24 hours of infection, an increase of H3.3 and Pol2 binding on cccDNA was observed, correlating with the initiation of the transcription of the 3.5 kb RNA. By Co-Immunoprecipitation and Proximity Ligation Assay experiments, we showed that Hira was able to interact with HBc in infected hepatocytes and in a HepaRG cell line expressing HBc in an inducible manner. Altogether, our results suggest that chromatinization of incoming viral DNA is a very early event, requiring the histone chaperone Hira. While HBx is not required for this process, HBc could play a major role, suggesting that the interaction between Hira and HBc could represent a new therapeutic target to be investigated
Bragantini, Benoît. "Caractérisation structurale et fonctionnelle de la protéine Bcd1, impliquée dans la biogenèse des snoRNP à boîtes C/D chez la levure Saccharomyces cerevisiae." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LORR0295/document.
Full textThe protein Bcd1 is a nuclear factor essential for the cellular viability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is described as required to ensure box C/D snoRNA stability. These small non-coding RNAs associate with an invariable set of 4 proteins to form the box C/D snoRNPs that are crucial players in ribosome biogenesis. Indeed, some of these particles participate in mechanisms for the maturation of the ribosomal RNA precursor (prerRNA) and the vast majority of the other particles are catalysts of 2’-O-methylation of riboses. Bcd1p is not present in mature particles, but is one of the assembly factors in addition to the Rsa1p:Hit1p and R2TP (Rvb1p:Rvb2p:Tah1p:Pih1p) sub-complexes. Our analysis of the different Bcd1p fragments has firstly shown that the essential function of Bcd1p relies on its N-terminal region (residues 1 to 96). It comprises a double zinc finger domain from the zf-HIT family, also present in another box C/D snoRNP assembly factor, the protein Hit1. We solved the 3D solution structure of these two zinc fingers and showed that these are modules for the interaction of Bcd1p with the Rvb1/2 proteins. Secondly, we identified the C-terminal region (residues 120 to 303) of Bcd1p as being sufficient to interact with the histone chaperone Rtt106p. The 3D solution structure of this domain of Bcd1p was determined by NMR. Different approaches of hydrogen/deuterium kinetic exchange and cross-link experiments followed by mass spectrometry analysis, NMR titration, and SAXS allowed us to obtain information about the interaction surfaces on each of the two proteins. A fragment defined from NMR data on the free Bcd1p allowed us to obtain crystals of the Bcd1p:Rtt106p complex, opening the perspective to solve its 3D structure by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, functional studies started in order to determine the importance of this complex formation in box C/D snoRNP biogenesis and the impact of Bcd1p on the interaction of Rtt106p with nucleosomes
