Les ARNnc sont impliqués dans la régulation de l’expression de gènes chez les Procaryotes, les Archées et les Eucaryotes. Cette régulation peut être effectuée au niveau transcriptionnel ou post-transcriptionnel. Elle fait parfois intervenir des modifications des histones comme la méthylation ou l’acétylation. J’ai étudié le gène TIR1 dont l’expression est fortement réduite lorsqu’un ARNnc codant antisens nommé TIR1axut est stabilisé. J’ai montré que cette régulation est dépendante de l’histone déacétylase Hda1. De plus, j’ai montré que l’acétylation de H3K14 et H3K18 ne sont pas directement impliquées dans la régulation de TIR1 mais qu’un résidu polaire est nécessaire pour la répression de TIR1 en présence de l’ARNnc antisens. En outre, j’ai mis en évidence que la répression de TIR1 par son XUT est en parti post-transcriptionnel, mais ne fait pas varier la stabilité de l’ARNm. Finalement, j’ai tenté en vain de comprendre le ciblage de l’activité histone déacétylase de Hda1 le long de TIR1 en cherchant la présence d’hybride ARN/ADN grâce à un anticorps reconnaissant ce type de structure. / NcRNAs are involved in gene regulation in Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes and Archaea. This regulation could be transcriptional or post-transcriptional. Histone modifications could be involved such as methylation or acetylation. I studied TIR1 gene whose expression is highly reduced when an antisense ncRNA called TIR1axut is stabilized. I showed that this regulation is Hda1-dependant. In addition to that, I showed that H3K14ac and H3K18ac are not directly responsible for TIR1 repression but a polar residue is required for a proper silencing of TIR1 in a XUT depending manner. Moreover, I showed that TIR1 repression is due to a post-transcriptional effect but does not affect mRNA stability. Finally, I tried in vain to understand Hda1 targeting on TIR1 searching for RNA/DNA hybrids using an antibody that recognizes such structures.
