Bivalent complexes of PRC1 with orthologs of BRD4 and MOZ/MORF target developmental genes in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Regulatory decisions in Drosophila require Polycomb group (PcG) proteins to maintain the silent state and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins to oppose silencing. Since PcG and TrxG are ubiquitous and lack apparent sequence specificity, a long-standing model is that targeting occurs via protein interactions; for instance, between repressors and PcG proteins. Instead, we found that Pc-repressive complex 1 (PRC1) purifies with coactivators Fs(1)h [female sterile (1) homeotic] and Enok/Br140 during embryogenesis. Fs(1)h is a TrxG member and the ortholog of BRD4, a bromodomain protein that binds to acetylated histones and is a key transcriptional coactivator in mammals. Enok and Br140, another bromodomain protein, are orthologous to subunits of a mammalian MOZ/MORF acetyltransferase complex. Here we confirm PRC1-Br140 and PRC1-Fs(1)h interactions and identify their genomic binding sites. PRC1-Br140 bind developmental genes in fly embryos, with analogous co-occupancy of PRC1 and a Br140 ortholog, BRD1, at bivalent loci in human embryonic stem (ES) cells. We propose that identification of PRC1-Br140 "bivalent complexes" in fly embryos supports and extends the bivalency model posited in mammalian cells, in which the coexistence of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 at developmental promoters represents a poised transcriptional state. We further speculate that local competition between acetylation and deacetylation may play a critical role in the resolution of bivalent protein complexes during development.

A Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 proteome from Drosophila cells

Project description:Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins regulate gene expression through changes to chromatin structure and are essential for development. PcG proteins function together with the Trithorax Group (TrxG) proteins, which affect diverse steps in transcription activation. The PcG and TrxG are genetically and functionally antagonistic, and current understanding suggests a balance of their activities can maintain a wide range of transcription states. PcG and TrxG proteins assemble into a series of complexes. How these complexes work together, how PcG complexes are recruited to target genes, and whether other proteins are involved in their regulation of gene expression remain open questions. We carried out tandem affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) on two core components of Drosophila Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). Our data reveal a network of interactions among PcG complexes, and extensive co-purification of TrxG complexes with PRC1. We co-purified >50 transcription factors with PRC1 that were not previously linked to the PcG. Finally, we identify novel co-purifying complexes, including HP1c and PCNA handling complexes. Our resource of candidate PRC1 interacting proteins generate new hypotheses for PRC1 function.

The BET protein FSH functionally interacts with ASH1 to orchestrate global gene activity in Drosophila

Project description:Background: The question of how cells re-establish gene expression states after cell division is still poorly understood. Genetic and molecular analyses have indicated that Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins are critical for the long-term maintenance of active gene expression states in many organisms. A generally accepted model suggests that TrxG proteins contribute to maintenance of transcription by protecting genes from inappropriate Polycomb group (PcG)-mediated silencing, instead of directly promoting transcription. Results: Here we report a physical and functional interaction in Drosophila between two members of the TrxG, the histone methyltransferase ASH1 and the bromodomain and extraterminal family protein FSH. We investigated this interface at the genome level, uncovering a widespread colocalization of both proteins at promoters and PcG-bound intergenic elements. Our integrative analysis of chromatin maps and gene expression profiles revealed that the observed ASH1-FSH binding pattern at promoters is a hallmark of active genes. Inhibition of FSH-binding to chromatin resulted in global down-regulation of transcription. In addition, we found that genes displaying marks of robust PcG-mediated repression also have ASH1 and FSH bound to their promoters. Conclusions: Our data strongly favor a global coactivator function of ASH1 and FSH during transcription, as opposed to the notion that TrxG proteins impede inappropriate PcG-mediated silencing, but are dispensable elsewhere. Instead, our results suggest that PcG repression needs to overcome the transcription-promoting function of ASH1 and FSH in order to silence genes. Refer to individual Series

Chromatin interaction profiles at bivalent genes by multiplexed splinkerette 4C sequencing

Project description:To examine chromatin interaction profiles around bivalent gene loci, we developed a multiplexed splinkerette Chromosome Conformation Capture Combined with high-throughput sequencing (ms4C-seq). By using ms4C-seq, we showed that bivalent gene loci tend to be colocalized in hiPSCs and that the colocalization requires PRC1, PRC2 and TrxG complexes that are the essential regulatory factors for maintenance of developmental genes in the transcriptionally poised state.

An essential role for PTIP in mediating Hox gene regulation along PcG and trxG pathways

Project description:During Drosophila development, Polycomb-group and Trithorax-group proteins function to ensure correct maintenance of transcription patterns by epigenetically repressing or activating target gene expression. To get a deep insight into the PcG and trxG pathways, we investigated a BRCT domain-containing protein called PTIP, which was generally identified as a transcriptional coactivator and belongs to the TRR complex. At the genome scale, we sorted given PTIP binding peaks into two groups: PTIP/TRR-cobound and PTIP/PC-cobound peaks. In particular, we found that PTIP mediates the molecular switch between H3K4me3/H3K27ac and H3K27me3 histone modifications at TRR or PC occupied regions. Thus, we suggest that PTIP is a mediator rather than a dedicated co-activator along PcG and trxG pathways. Our hypothesis is further supported by the genetic assay: PTIP interacts genetically with either PcG or TrxG in a dosage-dependent manner, suggesting that PTIP functions as a co-factor of PcG/TrxG proteins. In addition, in accordance with the analysis of ChIP-seq, these genetic interactions correlate with modified ectopic HOX protein levels in imaginal discs, which reveals an essential role for PTIP in PcG-mediated Hox gene repression. Hence, we reveal a novel role for PTIP in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression along PcG and trxG pathways.

RYBP coordinates with Trithorax complex and selectively recruits Polycomb complex for cell fate control

Project description:The selective expression is pivotal in orchestrating human development, with the Trithorax Group (TrxG) and Polycomb Group (PcG) complexes playing crucial roles in transcriptional activation and repression, respectively. However, mechanism underlying selective regulation of transcription by TrxG and PcG remains poorly understood. In this study, RYBP was observed to interact with TrxG and PcG components. RYBP and TrxG co-localized loci selectively enriches RING1B. STAT3 enriches at RYBP-TrxG co-localized loci devoid of RING1B, while displaying minimal enrichment at RING1B-enrichred loci. Introduction of STAT3 at RYBP loci disrupted RING1B aggregation and chromatin binding. RYBP-deficiency impairs TrxG deposition at DNA repair genes in RYBP-TrxG loci, consequently diminishing their expression and inducing DNA damage. These results facilitate the transition of embryonic stem cells to 2-cell-like cells. Additionally, RYBP-deficiency attenuates PcG deposition at lineage-specific genes within RYBP-TrxG-RING1B loci, thereby promoting ESC differentiation. Collectively, these results provide novel insights into the selective regulation of gene expression.

Comparing active and repressed expression states of genes controlled by the Polycomb/Trithorax group proteins

Project description:Drosophila Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins are responsible for the maintenance of stable transcription patterns of many developmental regulators, such as the homeotic genes. We have used a ChIP-on- Chip approach to map the distribution of several PcG/TrxG proteins as well as histone modifications across the two homeotic complexes ANT-C and BX-C. Our data indicate the colocalization of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) with Trx and the DNA binding protein Pleiohomeotic (Pho) at discrete sequence elements as well as significant chromatin assembly differences in active and inactive regions. Trx binds to the promoters of active genes and noncoding transcripts. Most strikingly, in the active state Pho covers extended chromatin domains over many kilobases. The histone modifications investigated, seem to be mutually exclusive, with histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 27 covering inactive chromatin domains whereas hyperacetylated histone H4 is present only at active genes.

CpG Island Structure and Trithorax/Polycomb Chromatin Domains in Human Cells

Project description:TrxG and PcG complexes play key roles in the epigenetic regulation of development through H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modification at specific sites throughout the human genome, but how these sites are selected is poorly understood. We find that in pluripotent cells, clustered CpG islands at genes predict occupancy of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, and these "bivalent" chromatin domains precisely span the boundaries of CpG island clusters.
