Cryo-EM reconstructions of the SNF2h-Nucleosome complexes at 140 mM KCl are translocated ~2 bp.

(A) High resolution structure from Figure 1—figure supplement 2B with Cryo-EM density fit with an atomic model. The additional 2 bp of DNA exiting the canonical nucleosome structure are highlighted in red. The box indicates the region zoomed to show greater detail in (B). (B) Zooms of the boxed region in A to show greater detail. The phosphates of the phosphodiester backbone are shown in spheres and fit precisely into the Cryo-EM density. (C) Schematic of the ensemble FRET experiment performed in (D). Nucleosomes were reconstituted on identical DNA sequence used to obtain Cryo-EM reconstructions and labeled with two fluorophores: cy3 on the 5’ phosphate at the DNA exit side of the nucleosome with a three carbon flexible linker and with cy5 on C8 of the cytosine base at position 149 near the entry side of the nucleosome via a six carbon flexible linker. Upon addition of SNF2h and ADP-BeFx, if the nucleosome is translocated as in the Cryo-EM reconstruction, the two labeled bases will be brought closer together in 3D space. This change in DNA conformation could be read out as a very small increase in FRET efficiency between the two labels. (D) Ensemble FRET experiment described in (C). FRET efficiency values were normalized to the FRET efficiency of the nucleosome prior to adding SNF2h and nucleotide. Points represent the mean of the indicated number independent experiments and error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Addition of SNF2h and ADP-BeFx produces an instantaneous drop in FRET efficiency that slowly increases in the presence 140 mM KCl but not in the presence of 70 mM KCl (top). The instantaneous drop in FRET efficiency may be due to subtle changes in the conformation of DNA immediately upon SNF2h binding or due to previously reported changes in the photophysics of the cy3 dye labeled at this position (Racki et al., 2009). The subsequent increase in FRET reflects structural changes in nucleosomal DNA which, in principle, could reflect many types of motions such as subtle changes in DNA trajectory. However, the increase observed is consistent with the small ~2 bp translocation captured in our cryo-EM reconstructions. Changes in the photophysical properties of the cy5 label were ruled out as contributing to the change in FRET efficiency as there was no change in fluorescence intensity when cy5 was directly excited (data not shown). No increase in FRET signal was seen when only SNF2h buffer was added (bottom).

Figure 1—figure supplement 4
By a single molecule assay, SNF2h induces a change in FRET under the 140 mM KCl conditions, consistent with a movement of the nucleosomal DNA.

(A) Setup of the single molecule assay. Nucleosomes with 78 bp flanking DNA on one side are attached to the surface of a microscope slide and imaged using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The nucleosomes have 9 bp flanking DNA on the other side, with a Cy5 dye at the end of the 9 bp. Movement of the DNA will change the distance between the Cy3 and Cy5 dyes, changing the observed FRET. (B) Kernel density estimation (KDE) plot of the starting FRET values of 179 nucleosomes, without SNF2h, combined from the three independent replicates shown in (C). FRET values cluster into two peaks, near 0.8 FRET and 0.45 FRET, corresponding to two possible labeling schemes: a Cy3 dye on the histone H3 closer to the Cy5-labeled DNA end (proximal labeling), or a Cy3 dye on the other copy of histone H3 (distal labeling). As demonstrated in Zhou et al. (2018), the distally-labeled population is relatively insensitive to changes in the length of the DNA separating the Cy5 from the edge of the nucleosome, and so is not shown in (D) and (E). (C) KDEs (left) and empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFs; right) of starting nucleosomal FRET values from three independent replicates. Note that the FRET value of the midpoint of a peak in a KDE corresponds to the FRET value where the slope of the CDF is steepest. Thus the distal and proximal peaks in the KDEs appear as two regions of steep slopes in the CDFs. For two data sets with similar peak locations, the FRET value (position along the x-axis) where the slope of the CDF is steepest will be similar. (D) (black) KDE of FRET values for 43 proximally-labeled nucleosomes after 10 min of incubation without SNF2h, and (red) 48 proximally-labeled nucleosomes after a 10 min incubation in the presence of 2 µM SNF2h and 0.5 mM ADP-BeFx. Dashed lines labeled ‘+11’, ‘+10’, and ‘+9’ indicate expected FRET values for nucleosomes with 11, 10, or 9 bp of flanking DNA between the Cy5 and the edge of the nucleosome, based on the calibration curve derived in Zhou et al. (2018). (E) Empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the data in B and C. (F) Same as (C) but for the two replicates of nucleosomes alone after a 10 min incubation. The two replicates have 115 and 117 nucleosomes each (with the distally labeled population included). (G) Same as (C) but for the two replicates of nucleosomes plus SNF2h and ADP-BeFx after 10 min. The two replicates have 72 and 83 nucleosomes each. Shaded regions in CDFs in all panels represent an estimate of the error based on a bootstrapping method (Gamarra et al., 2018; Zhou et al., 2018).

Speculative model that places SNF2h-nucleosome Cryo-EM structures within SNF2h reaction cycle .

Two protomers of SNF2h bind to the nucleosome along with ATP. Based on previous work, the directionality of nucleosome sliding is determined by the motor that engages the longer flanking DNA (Leonard and Narlikar, 2015). By this model, the SNF2h motor bound at SHL+2 (orange protomer) will be the active motor and determine the direction of sliding because it would contact the 60 bp flanking DNA with its HSS domain (Leonard and Narlikar, 2015). For simplicity, the HSS domain is not shown. Binding of the SHL+2 protomer asymmetrically deforms the acidic patch and histone H3 near the dyad on the opposite face of the histone octamer. The second protomer can bind at SHL-2, but cannot act because deformation of the acidic patch inhibits its ability to slide nucleosomes. The SNF2h complex with the deformed octamer represents an intermediate that is poised for translocation. Processive DNA translocation is enabled by successive ATP hydrolysis cycles from this activated intermediate, moving DNA in 1–2 bp fundamental increments. We speculate that the cryo-EM structure captured at low salt represents the deformed intermediate, while the structure captured at high salt represents a collapsed product state in which the nucleosome is translocated by 2 bp (translocated bases are highlighted in red).
