USP11 acts as a histone deubiquitinase functioning in chromatin reorganization during DNA repair.

ABSTRACT: How chromatin dynamics is regulated to ensure efficient DNA repair remains to be understood. Here, we report that the ubiquitin-specific protease USP11 acts as a histone deubiquitinase to catalyze H2AK119 and H2BK120 deubiquitination. We showed that USP11 is physically associated with the chromatin remodeling NuRD complex and functionally involved in DNA repair process. We demonstrated that USP11-mediated histone deubiquitination and NuRD-associated histone deacetylation coordinate to allow timely termination of DNA repair and reorganization of the chromatin structure. As such, USP11 is involved in chromatin condensation, genomic stability, and cell survival. Together, these observations indicate that USP11 is a chromatin modifier critically involved in DNA damage response and the maintenance of genomic stability.

The forkhead transcription factor FOXK2 acts as a chromatin targeting factor for the BAP1-containing histone deubiquitinase complex.

Project description:There are numerous forkhead transcription factors in mammalian cells but we know little about the molecular functions of the majority of these. FOXK2 is a ubiquitously expressed family member suggesting an important function across multiple cell types. Here, we show that FOXK2 binds to the SIN3A and PR-DUB complexes. The PR-DUB complex contains the important tumour suppressor protein, the deubiquitinase BAP1. FOXK2 recruits BAP1 to DNA, promotes local histone deubiquitination and causes changes in target gene activity. Our results therefore provide an important link between BAP1 and the transcription factor FOXK2 and demonstrate how BAP1 can be recruited to specific regulatory loci.

USP52 acts as a deubiquitinase and promotes histone chaperone ASF1A stabilization.

Project description:Histone chaperone ASF1A has been reported to be dysregulated in multiple tumors; however, the underlying molecular mechanism that how the abundance and function of ASF1A are regulated remains unclear. Here we report that ASF1A is physically associated with USP52, which is previously identified as a pseudo-deubiquitinase. Interestingly, we demonstrate that USP52 is a bona fide ubiquitin-specific protease, and USP52 promotes ASF1A deubiquitination and stabilization. USP52-promoted ASF1A stabilization facilitates chromatin assembly and favors cell cycle progression. Additionally, we find that USP52 is overexpressed in breast carcinomas, and its level of expression correlates with that of ASF1A. Moreover, we reveal that impairment of USP52-promoted ASF1A stabilization results in growth arrest of breast cancer cells and sensitizes these cells to DNA damage. Our experiments identify USP52 as a truly protein deubiquitinase, uncover a molecular mechanism of USP52 in chromatin assembly, and reveal a potential role of USP52 in breast carcinogenesis.

Biphasic chromatin binding of histone chaperone FACT during eukaryotic chromatin DNA replication.

Project description:The facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex affects nuclear DNA transactions in a chromatin context. Though the involvement of FACT in eukaryotic DNA replication has been revealed, a clear understanding of its biochemical behavior during DNA replication still remains elusive. Here, we analyzed the chromatin-binding dynamics of FACT using Xenopus egg extract cell-free system. We found that FACT has at least two distinct chromatin-binding phases: (1) a rapid chromatin-binding phase at the onset of DNA replication that did not involve origin licensing and (2) a second phase of chromatin binding that initiated after origin licensing. Intriguingly, early-binding FACT dissociated from chromatin when DNA replication was blocked by the addition of Cdc6 in the licensed state before origin firing. Cdc6-induced removal of FACT was blocked by the inhibition of origin licensing with geminin, but not by suppressing the activity of DNA polymerases, CDK, or Cdc7. Furthermore, chromatin transfer experiments revealed that impairing the later binding of FACT severely compromises DNA replication activity. Taken together, we propose that even though FACT has rapid chromatin-binding activity, the binding pattern of FACT on chromatin changes after origin licensing, which may contribute to the establishment of its functional link to the DNA replication machinery.

USP11 degrades KLF4 via its deubiquitinase activity in liver diseases.

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a zinc-finger containing DNA-binding transcription factor involved in tumorigenesis and acts as a tumour suppressor or an oncogene depending on the tissue. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), KLF4 has been considered as a tumour suppressor, although the mechanism underlying its action remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified the ubiquitin-specific peptidase USP11 as a KLF4-interacting deubiquitinating enzyme using a proteomic approach. USP11 destabilizes KLF4 through the removal of K63-dependent polyubiquitination, thereby inhibiting KLF4 expression. We also provide mechanistic insights into KLF4 degradation and show that USP11 depletion inhibits growth and chemoresistance of HCC cells by enhancing KLF4 stability. Importantly, lipid content was reduced and genes involved in fatty acid metabolism were down-regulated in an in vitro steatosis conditions upon USP11 knockout. Finally, elevated USP11 and reduced KLF4 levels were detected both in a hepatic steatosis in vitro model and in public clinical data of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and HCC patients. Collectively, these findings suggest that USP11, as KLF4-binding partner, is an important mediator of hepatic tumorigenesis that functions via degradation of KLF4 and is a potential treatment target for liver diseases.

DNA repair factor APLF acts as a H2A-H2B histone chaperone through binding its DNA interaction surface.

Project description:Genome replication, transcription and repair require the assembly/disassembly of the nucleosome. Histone chaperones are regulators of this process by preventing formation of non-nucleosomal histone-DNA complexes. Aprataxin and polynucleotide kinase like factor (APLF) is a non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair factor that possesses histone chaperone activity in its acidic domain (APLFAD). Here, we studied the molecular basis of this activity using biochemical and structural methods. We find that APLFAD is intrinsically disordered and binds histone complexes (H3-H4)2 and H2A-H2B specifically and with high affinity. APLFAD prevents unspecific complex formation between H2A-H2B and DNA in a chaperone assay, establishing for the first time its specific histone chaperone function for H2A-H2B. On the basis of a series of nuclear magnetic resonance studies, supported by mutational analysis, we show that the APLFAD histone binding domain uses two aromatic side chains to anchor to the α1-α2 patches on both H2A and H2B, thereby covering most of their DNA-interaction surface. An additional binding site on both APLFAD and H2A-H2B may be involved in the handoff between APLF and DNA or other chaperones. Together, our data support the view that APLF provides not only a scaffold but also generic histone chaperone activity for the NHEJ-complex.

A histone H3K36 chromatin switch coordinates DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice.

Project description:DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is a highly regulated process performed predominantly by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR) pathways. How these pathways are coordinated in the context of chromatin is unclear. Here we uncover a role for histone H3K36 modification in regulating DSB repair pathway choice in fission yeast. We find Set2-dependent H3K36 methylation reduces chromatin accessibility, reduces resection and promotes NHEJ, while antagonistic Gcn5-dependent H3K36 acetylation increases chromatin accessibility, increases resection and promotes HR. Accordingly, loss of Set2 increases H3K36Ac, chromatin accessibility and resection, while Gcn5 loss results in the opposite phenotypes following DSB induction. Further, H3K36 modification is cell cycle regulated with Set2-dependent H3K36 methylation peaking in G1 when NHEJ occurs, while Gcn5-dependent H3K36 acetylation peaks in S/G2 when HR prevails. These findings support an H3K36 chromatin switch in regulating DSB repair pathway choice.

Histone demethylase KDM5A regulates the ZMYND8-NuRD chromatin remodeler to promote DNA repair.

Project description:Upon DNA damage, histone modifications are dynamically reshaped to accommodate DNA damage signaling and repair within chromatin. In this study, we report the identification of the histone demethylase KDM5A as a key regulator of the bromodomain protein ZMYND8 and NuRD (nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation) complex in the DNA damage response. We observe KDM5A-dependent H3K4me3 demethylation within chromatin near DNA double-strand break (DSB) sites. Mechanistically, demethylation of H3K4me3 is required for ZMYND8-NuRD binding to chromatin and recruitment to DNA damage. Functionally, KDM5A deficiency results in impaired transcriptional silencing and repair of DSBs by homologous recombination. Thus, this study identifies a crucial function for KDM5A in demethylating H3K4 to allow ZMYND8-NuRD to operate within damaged chromatin to repair DSBs.

Histone H4 acetylation required for chromatin decompaction during DNA replication.

Project description:Faithful DNA replication is a prerequisite for cell proliferation. Several cytological studies have shown that chromosome structures alter in the S-phase of the cell cycle. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the alteration of chromosome structures associated with DNA replication have not been elucidated. Here, we investigated chromatin structures and acetylation of specific histone residues during DNA replication using the meiotic nucleus of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The S. pombe meiotic nucleus provides a unique opportunity for measuring the levels of compaction of chromatin along the chromosome in a defined orientation. By direct measurement of chromatin compaction in living cells, we demonstrated that decompaction of chromatin occurs during meiotic DNA replication. This chromatin decompaction was suppressed by depletion of histone acetyltransferase Mst1 or by arginine substitution of specific lysine residues (K8 and K12) of histone H4. These results suggest that acetylation of histone H4 residues K8 and K12 plays a critical role in loosening chromatin structures during DNA replication.

Histone H1 compacts DNA under force and during chromatin assembly.

Project description:Histone H1 binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes, but the dynamics and biological ramifications of this interaction remain poorly understood. We performed single-molecule experiments using magnetic tweezers to determine the effects of H1 on naked DNA in buffer or during chromatin assembly in Xenopus egg extracts. In buffer, nanomolar concentrations of H1 induce bending and looping of naked DNA at stretching forces below 0.6 pN, effects that can be reversed with 2.7-pN force or in 200 mM monovalent salt concentrations. Consecutive tens-of-nanometer bending events suggest that H1 binds to naked DNA in buffer at high stoichiometries. In egg extracts, single DNA molecules assemble into nucleosomes and undergo rapid compaction. Histone H1 at endogenous physiological concentrations increases the DNA compaction rate during chromatin assembly under 2-pN force and decreases it during disassembly under 5-pN force. In egg cytoplasm, histone H1 protects sperm nuclei undergoing genome-wide decondensation and chromatin assembly from becoming abnormally stretched or fragmented due to astral microtubule pulling forces. These results reveal functional ramifications of H1 binding to DNA at the single-molecule level and suggest an important physiological role for H1 in compacting DNA under force and during chromatin assembly.
