Abstract
BACKGROUND: INO80 and SWR1 are evolutionarily related ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes that regulate the chromatin occupancy of the histone variant H2A.Z, playing critical roles in transcriptional regulation, genome replication, and DNA repair. While the H2A.Z-related functions of INO80 and SWR1 are well characterized in budding yeast and metazoans, much less is known about their composition and chromatin-targeting mechanisms outside of the Opisthokonts. We previously found that a distinct bromodomain-containing protein, IBD1, is involved in multiple chromatin-related complexes, including the SWR1-complex, in the ciliate protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. RESULTS: Here, we report that a closely related bromodomain-containing protein, IBD2, functions as an acetyl lysine reader module within a putative INO80 complex. Through iterative proteomic analyses, we show that the Tetrahymena INO80 complex retains several conserved subunits found in its yeast and metazoan counterparts. In vitro binding assays reveal that recombinant IBD2 preferentially recognizes acetylated histone H3 tails. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) demonstrates that IBD2 is enriched near transcription start sites and promoter regions. Notably, the IBD1 and IBD2 genomic binding profiles strongly correlate with that of H2A.Z (Hv1), supporting their functional association with the SWRI- and INO80-complexes. CONCLUSIONS: Together, our findings support a model in which H2A.Z chromatin dynamics are modulated by SWR1- and INO80-complexes that are differentially recruited to chromatin via distinct bromodomain proteins that recognize specific histone acetylation marks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
