Role of histone N-terminal tails and their acetylation in nucleosome dynamics.

Abstract:

:Histone N-terminal tails are central to the processes that modulate nucleosome structure and function. We have studied the contribution of core histone tails to the structure of a single nucleosome and to a histone (H3-H4)(2) tetrameric particle assembled on a topologically constrained DNA minicircle. The effect of histone tail cleavage and histone tail acetylation on the structure of the nucleoprotein particle was investigated by analyzing the DNA topoisomer equilibrium after relaxation of DNA torsional stress by topoisomerase I. Removal of the H3 and H4 N-terminal tails, as well as their acetylation, provoked a dramatic change in the linking-number difference of the (H3-H4)(2) tetrameric particle, with a release of up to 70% of the negative supercoiling previously constrained by this structure. The (H3-H4)(2) tetramers containing tailless or hyperacetylated histones showed a striking preference for relaxed DNA over negatively supercoiled DNA. This argues in favor of a change in tetramer structure that constrains less DNA and adopts a relaxed flat conformation instead of its left-handed conformation within the nucleosome. In contrast neither removal or hyperacetylation of H3 and H4 tails nor removal or hyperacetylation of H2A and H2B N-terminal tails affected the nucleosome structure. This indicates that the globular domain of H2A and H2B is sufficient to stabilize the tailless or the hyperacetylated (H3-H4)(2) tetramer in a left-handed superhelix conformation. These results suggest that the effect of histone tail acetylation that facilitates transcription may be mediated via transient formation of an (H3-H4)(2) tetrameric particle that could adopt an open structure only when H3 and/or H4 tails are hyperacetylated.
