摘要

Chromatin is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity but, ironically, is also the main barrier to gene transcription. Many mechanisms, such as histone acetylation, have evolved to overcome this problem. Histone acetylation, catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), weakens the internucleosomal and nucleosome-DNA interactions, thus permitting the transcriptional machinery access to its template. However, this permissive chromatin state also allows for opportunistic DNA binding events. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) help restore a compact chromatin structure by catalyzing the removal of acetyl moieties from histones.;This thesis focuses on the characterization of the function and of the recruitment mechanism of HDAC complexes Rpd3S and Set3C. The Rpd3S complex is recruited to actively transcribed coding regions through interactions with the hyperphosphorylated C-terminal domain of Rpb1, a subunit of RNA polymerase II, with the DSIF elongation factor playing a role in limiting this recruitment. However, the HDAC activity of Rpd3S depends on H3K36 methylation, which is catalyzed by the Set2 histone methyltransferase.;The Set3C complex' function is still not clearly defined. It is recruited to most of its targets through the interaction between the Set3 PHD domain and di- or trimethylated H3K4. However, Set3C recruitment to genes displaying high RNA polymerase II occupancy is independent of H3K4 methylation. The mechanism by which Set3C is recruited to this gene subset is under investigation.;These results have mostly been obtained through chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to tiling microarrays (ChIP-chip). The protocol and experimental design challenges inherent to this technique will also be discussed in depth.;Keywords : Chromatin immunoprecipitation; ChIP-chip; microarrays; histone acetyltransferase (HAT); histone deacetylase (HDAC); histone methyltransferase (HMT);
