Loss of H3K9me3 heterochromatin at protein coding genes enables developmental lineage specification (srHC-seq)

Project description:Domains of transcriptionally repressed heterochromatin, decorated by histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3), are reduced in embryonic stem cells compared to fully differentiated cells. However, the establishment and dynamics of closed regions of chromatin at protein coding genes, in natural embryologic development, has not been described. We developed a novel, antibody-independent method to isolate and map compacted heterochromatin from low cell number samples. Unexpectedly, we uncovered extensive high levels of H3K9me3-decorated, compacted heterochromatin at protein coding genes in early, uncommitted cells in the three germ layers, undergoing profound rearrangements and reduction upon differentiation, concomitant with cell type-specific gene expression. Perturbation of the three H3K9me3-related methyltransferases revealed that H3K9me3 heterochromatin is required to maintain cell lineage fidelity. We propose a key role for chromatin-based restriction of gene activity via H3K9me3 during embryologic development
