Abstract:
Commitment to splicing occurs co‐transcriptionally, but a major unanswered question is the extent to which various modifications of chromatin, the template for transcription in vivo , contribute to the regulation of splicing. Results Here, we perform genome‐wide analyses showing that inhibition of specific marks – H2B ubiquitylation, H3K4 methylation and H3K36 methylation – perturbs splicing in budding yeast, with each modification exerting gene‐specific effects. Furthermore, semi‐quantitative mass spectrometry on purified nuclear mRNPs and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis on intron‐containing genes indicated that H2B ubiquitylation, but not Set1‐, Set2‐ or Dot1‐dependent H3 methylation, stimulates recruitment of the early splicing factors, namely U1 and U2 snRNPs, onto nascent RNAs. Conclusions These results suggest that histone modifications impact splicing of distinct subsets of genes using distinct pathways.
