The ZZ-type zinc finger of ZZZ3 modulates the ATAC complex-mediated histone acetylation and gene activation

ABSTRACT: Recognition of post-translational modifications on histones by epigenetic readers is a fundamental mechanism for the regulation of chromatin and transcription. Compared to the large number of readers that recognize histone methylation, only a few acetyllysine readers have been identified, including bromodomain, YEATS, and double plant homeodomain zinc finger (DPF). Here, we report the identification of a novel reader of histone H3, the ZZ-type zinc finger (ZZ) domain of ZZZ3, a subunit of the Ada-Two-A Containing (ATAC) histone acetyltransferase complex. The solution NMR structure of the ZZ in complex with the H3 peptide reveals a unique histone-binding mechanism involving caging of the N-terminal Alanine 1 of histone H3 in an acidic cavity of the ZZ domain. Importantly, acetylation on Lysine 4 of H3 (H3K4ac) enhances the binding, and in cells, ZZZ3 colocalizes with H3K4ac across the genome. The recognition of histone acetylation by ZZ is essential for chromatin occupancy of ZZZ3 and functions of the ATAC complex. Depletion of ZZZ3 or disruption of the ZZ-H3 interaction dampens ATAC dependent promoter histone H3K9 acetylation and the expression of ribosomal protein encoding genes. Overall, our study identifies the ZZ domain of ZZZ3 as a novel epigenetic reader that links the GCN5/ATAC complex to histone acetylation.

The ZZ domain of p300 mediates specificity of the adjacent HAT domain for histone H3

Project description:Human p300 is a transcriptional co-activator and a major acetyltransferase that acetylates histones and other proteins facilitating gene transcription. The activity of p300 relies on the fine-tuned interactome that involves a dozen p300 domains and hundreds of binding partners and links p300 to a wide range of vital signaling events. Here, we report on a novel function of the ZZ-type zinc finger (ZZ) of p300 as a reader of histone H3. We show that the ZZ domain and acetyllysine recognizing bromodomain (BD) of p300 play critical roles in modulating p300 enzymatic activity and its association with chromatin. Acetyllysine binding of BD is essential for acetylation of histones H3 and H4, whereas interaction of the ZZ domain with H3 promotes selective acetylation of histone H3K27 and H3K18.

H3 Lysine 4 Is Acetylated at Active Gene Promoters and Is Regulated by H3 Lysine 4 Methylation

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me) is an evolutionarily conserved modification whose role in the regulation of gene expression has been extensively studied. In contrast, the function of H3K4 acetylation (H3K4ac) has received little attention because of a lack of tools to separate its function from that of H3K4me. Here we show that, in addition to being methylated, H3K4 is also acetylated in budding yeast. Genetic studies reveal that the histone acetyltransferases (HATs) Gcn5 and Rtt109 contribute to H3K4 acetylation in vivo. Whilst removal of H3K4ac from euchromatin mainly requires the histone deacetylase (HDAC) Hst1, Sir2 is needed for H3K4 deacetylation in heterochomatin. Using genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), we show that H3K4ac is enriched at promoters of actively transcribed genes and located just upstream of H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3), a pattern that has been conserved in human cells. We find that the Set1-containing complex (COMPASS), which promotes H3K4me2 and -me3, also serves to limit the abundance of H3K4ac at gene promoters. In addition, we identify a group of genes that have high levels of H3K4ac in their promoters and are inadequately expressed in H3-K4R, but not in set1 mutant strains suggesting that H3K4ac plays a positive role in transcription. Our results reveal a novel regulatory feature of promoter-proximal chromatin, involving mutually exclusive histone modifications of the same histone residue (H3K4ac and H3K4me).

AF9 Links Histone Acetylation to DOT1L-Mediated H3K79 Methylation

Project description:The recognition of modified histones by “reader” proteins constitutes a key mechanism regulating gene expression in the chromatin context. Compared with the great variety of readers for histone methylation, few protein modules that recognize histone acetylation are known. Here we show that the evolutionarily conserved YEATS domains constitute a novel family of acetyllysine readers. The human AF9 YEATS domain binds strongly to histone H3K9 acetylation and, to a lesser extent, H3K27 and H3K18 acetylation. Crystal structural studies revealed that AF9 YEATS adopts an eight-stranded immunoglobin fold and utilizes a serine-lined aromatic “sandwiching” cage for acetyllysine readout, representing a novel recognition mechanism that is distinct from that of known acetyllysine readers. Histone acetylation recognition by AF9 is important for the chromatin recruitment of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L. Together, our studies identify the YEATS domain as a novel acetyllysine-binding module, thereby establishing the first direct link between histone acetylation and DOTL1-mediated H3K79 methylation in transcription control. ChIP-seq analysis of AF9, H3K79me3, H3K9ac in Hela cells and H3K79me3 in Hela AF9 knockdown and Hela Dot1L knockdown cells.

Histone H3 lysine 4 acetylation-methylation dynamics define breast cancer subtypes [RNA-seq]

Project description:The onset and progression of breast cancer are linked to genetic and epigenetic changes that alter the normal programming of cells. Epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones contribute to chromatin structure that results in the activation or repression of gene expression. Several epigenetic pathways have been shown to be highly deregulated in cancer cells. Targeting specific histone modifications represents a viable strategy to prevent oncogenic transformation, tumor growth or metastasis. Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 has been extensively studied and shown to mark genes for expression; however this residue can also be acetylated and the specific function of this alteration is less well known. To define the relative roles of histone H3 methylation (H3K4me3) and acetylation (H3K4ac) in breast cancer, we determined genomic regions enriched for both marks in normal-like (MCF10A), transformed (MCF7) and metastatic (MDA-MB-231) cells using a genome-wide ChIP-Seq approach. Our data revealed a genome-wide gain of H3K4ac associated with both early and late breast cancer cell phenotypes, while gain of H3K4me3 was predominantly associated with late stage cancer cells. Enrichment of H3K4ac was overrepresented at promoters of genes associated with cancer-related phenotypic traits, such as estrogen response and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition pathways. Our findings highlight an important role for H3K4ac in predicting epigenetic changes associated with early stages of transformation. In addition, our data provide a valuable resource for understanding epigenetic signatures that correlate with known breast cancer-associated oncogenic pathways.

Histone H3 globular domain acetylation identifies novel enhancers

Project description:We report the acetylation of lysine residues in the globular domain of H3 (H3K64ac and H3K122ac) marks active gene promoters and also a subset of active enhancers in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), human erythroleukemic cell line (K562). Moreover, we find a novel class of active functional enhancers in ESCs that are marked by H3K122ac but which lack H3K27ac. This work suggests that a more complex analysis of histone acetylation is required to identify enhancers than was previously considered.

Genome-wide maps of acetylated histone 3 lysine 4 in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells under normoxia and hypoxia

Project description:Hypoxia-induced EMT involves the interplay between chromatin modifiers histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) and WDR5. The histone mark acetylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4Ac) is observed in the promoter regions of various EMT marker genes (e.g. E-cadherin, vimentin). However, there are only a limited number of EMT marker genes whose promoters were shown to be labeled with H3K4Ac. To further define the genome wide location of H3K4Ac, a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis was performed using a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) FADU cell line under normoxia and hypoxia. H3K4Ac was found to be located mainly around the transcription start site (TSS), and was partially removed from transcribed genes under hypoxia, indicating that H3K4Ac is responsible for regulation of gene expression during normoxia and hypoxia. 779 H3K4Ac-labeled genes whose H3K4Ac peaks were decreased under hypoxia were obtained by screening with a FDR< 0.05 and a distance to TSS of -5000~1000 bp.
