Nascent RNA interaction keeps PRC2 activity poised and in check.

ABSTRACT: Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2) facilitates the maintenance and inheritance of chromatin domains repressive to transcription through catalysis of methylation of histone H3 at Lys27 (H3K27me2/3). However, through its EZH2 subunit, PRC2 also binds to nascent transcripts from active genes that are devoid of H3K27me2/3 in embryonic stem cells. Here, biochemical analyses indicated that RNA interaction inhibits SET domain-containing proteins, such as PRC2, nonspecifically in vitro. However, CRISPR-mediated truncation of a PRC2-interacting nascent RNA rescued PRC2-mediated deposition of H3K27me2/3. That PRC2 activity is inhibited by interactions with nascent transcripts supports a model in which PRC2 can only mark for repression those genes silenced by transcriptional repressors.

PHF6 keeps hematopoietic lineage development in check [Jurkat]

Project description:Analysis of the mutational landscape of various hematological malignancies has shown that key regulators implicated in lineage commitment and differentiation are frequently implicated in leukemic transformation. In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the role of various oncogenic and tumor suppressing transcription factors has been investigated. More recently, an exceptional high prevalence of mutations affecting epigenetic modifiers in T-ALL has also been noted. In order to understand the exact contribution of such lesions to normal differentiation and oncogenic transformation, further functional characterization of this subclass of proteins is warranted. PHF6 is one of these key epigenetic players, which was described as a frequently mutated and deleted novel tumor suppressor in T-ALL. In a first step towards unraveling the role of PHF6 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis, we characterized the function of PHF6 in both normal T-cell differentiation and other hematopoietic lineages as a prelude to understand its contribution to leukemogenesis. Here, we show for the first time that PHF6 controlled epigenetic regulation positively controls a NOTCH1 gene signature and the effects observed on T-lineage differentiation seem to be additive with Notch1. In this study, we show for the first time that PHF6 is a master regulator of early hematopoietic differentiation along the T-cell, B-cell, myeloid and NK-cell lineages.
