Lecture OutlineWhat are histone variants?Review nuclesome structure wrt replacement
Consideration of following issues: - sequence variation - nucleosome structure- genome function- location within the genome- physiological function
Discuss H2A: macroH2A, H2A.Bbd, H2Ax, H2AZH3: CENPA, H3.3

H2B H3 ‘tail’
New nucleosome formation: after replication
H3/H4 tetramer binds to DNA
2 dimers H2A/H2B bind H3/H4 tetramer
How to replace?
1. During replication assemble with variant histones
2. H2A/H2B dimer exchange
3. Disassembly of nucleosome during DNA damage repair, transcription

Histone H2Axin DNA damage pathway
DNA damage leads to complex repair pathways
Molecular details of DNA repair
H2Ax evolutionary conservation
H2Ax phosphorylation is an early step
in the repair process
Histone H2AZ (= HTZ1):
How does it affect NCP structure and positioning?
What is its localization in the genome?What genomic process does it regulate?
Histone H2AZin gene regulation
Genome-wide view of H2AZ at promotors
TSS
Nuc “Depleted” Region
Gene ORFPromoter
TSS
H2AZ tends to occur in one nuc up- and one nuc down-stream of the TSS
Does it regulate transcription?
H2AZ is released as genes are activated Its release is required for full activation
Association of H2A/H2AZ with chromatin
H2AZ is more loosely bound to chromatin (although NCP structure very similar)
Is there a difference in nucleosome stability?
What is the localization of H2AZaround active/inactive genes?
Active genes less enriched than inactive
H2AZ
How does it affect NCP structure and positioning?
What is its localization in the genome?
What genomic process does it regulate?
Inactive promoters
Poises genes for activation
Destablizes NCP:correlates with depletion of one NCP over the TSS
How is it incorporated?
…a digression

Histone H3.1 and H3.3
H3.3 is very similar to H3.1
H3.3 is more ancient
What genomic processes do H3.1/H3.3 regulate?
ReplicationDependent:EitherH3.1 or H3.3
ReplicationIndependent:Only H3.3
H3.3 localizes with RNAPII and K4me

CENPA, an H3 variant, is in a specialized NCP at centromeres in all eukaryotes
Targeting of CENPA to centromeres
Mapping in vitro and in vivo defined a region in the histone fold as “CATD”
Chaperone for Centromeric Localization
Cell line expressingCENPA-TAP
HJURP required for CENPA targeting to centromeres
HJURP Knock Down cell line
No targeting of CENPA in HJURP KD
1. OE CENPA did not restore targeting2. H3-CATD recruited by HJURP
Controversy regarding structure of the centromeric CENPA NCP
Proposed structures:
Is there a distinct structure?
(CENPA-H4)2 is more compact
Structure of CENPA NCP
Structural features map to CATD!
It forms a well behaved octamer
