Abstract

Chromatin immunoprecipitation with anti-acetyl histone H3 (K9 and K14) and anti-acetyl histone H4 (K5, K8, K12, and K16) antibodies shows that Lys-9 and/or Lys-14 of histone H3, but not the relevant sites of histone H4 in nucleosomes at the repressed MFA2 promoter, are hyperacetylated after UV irradiation. This level of histone hyperacetylation diminishes gradually as repair proceeds. Accompanying this, chromatin in the promoter becomes more accessible to restriction enzymes after UV irradiation and returns to the pre-UV state gradually. UV-related histone hyperacetylation and chromatin remodeling in the MFA2 promoter depend on Gcn5p and partially on Swi2p, respectively. Deletion of GCN5, but not of SWI2, impairs repair of DNA damage in the MFA2 promoter. The post-UV histone modifications and chromatin remodeling at the repressed MFA2 promoter do not activate MFA2 transcriptionally, nor do they require damage recognition by Rad4p or Rad14p. Furthermore, we show that UV irradiation triggers genome-wide histone hyperacetylation at both histone H3 and H4. These experiments indicate that chromatin at a yeast repressed locus undergoes active change after UV radiation treatment and that failure to achieve histone H3 hyperacetylation impairs the repair of DNA damage.
