Visualization of the dynamics of histone modifications and their crosstalk using PTM-CrossTalkMapper
Abstract
Visualization of large-scale, multi-dimensional omics data is a major challenge. Experimental study designs in proteomics research produce multiple data layers, e.g. relationships between hundreds of proteins, their interactions and abundances as a function of time or perturbation, as well as dynamics of post-translational modifications (PTMs) and allelic variants (proteoforms). These different levels and types of information of proteins and proteoforms complicate data analysis and generation of insightful and comprehensible graphic visualizations. Middle-down mass spectrometry of histone proteins now allows quantifying hundreds of histone proteoforms including co-existing methylation, acetylation and phosphorylation events at distinct amino acid residues within histone molecules. The histone PTM landscape plays a dominant role in the regulation of chromatin activity and transcriptional and epigenetic control. The dynamics of these reversible modifications are governed by reader, writer and eraser enzymes that cooperate to regulate molecular mechanisms that rely on multiple interdependent PTM marks in histones and nucleosomes in chromatin. This PTM crosstalk can be quantified and provides a detailed picture of the underlying rules for setting the histone PTM landscape and chromatin activity, and is available to the community via our CrosstalkDB platform. Here, we developed a new computational method, PTM-CrossTalkMapper, to visualize the dynamics of histone PTMs for different experimental conditions, replicates and proteoforms onto a landscape, thereby describing the crosstalk and interplay between PTMs in a more comprehensible manner. We show the power of combining different levels of information on such crosstalk maps for histone PTM dynamics in mouse organs during the aging process. The PTM-CrossTalkMapper toolkit provides flexible functions to create these maps in various scenarios of multi-dimensional experimental designs, including histone PTM patterns and PTM crosstalk. The source code is available at https://github.com/veitveit/CrossTalkMapper.
