Multivalent H3K9me2 Reader ADCP1 Functions as a plant HP1 to Maintain Epigenetic Silencing

ABSTRACT: Heterochromatin formation is important for genome stability and transposon silencing. The evolutionally conserved Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) recognizes H3K9me3 and maintains heterochromatin from fission yeast to mammalians. However, it is still questioned about the presence of HP1 protein in plants. Here, we discovered a multivalent H3K9me2 reader ADCP1 in Arabidopsis through biophysical and structural studies, and agenet domain in ADCP1 has the similar function of chromo domain in HP1. We further showed that ADCP1 was essential for heterochromatin maintenance through modulating H3K9me2 and DNA methylation levels. Similar to human HP1alpha and fly HP1a, ADCP1 was also able to mediate heterochromatin phase separation both in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate the plant specific and evolution conserved ADCP1 functions as the HP1 equivalent protein in plant.

HP1a recruitment to promoters is independent of H3K9 methylation in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) proteins are important regulators of heterochromatin mediated gene silencing and chromosome structure and it is well known as the reader of the heterochromatin mark methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me). In Drosophila three different histone lysine methyl transferases (HKMTs) are associated with the methylation of H3K9; Su(var)3-9, Setdb1 and G9a. To gain insights on the dependence of HP1a on the three different HKMTs, the division of labor between these methyl transferases and the dependence of HP1a on H3K9me we have studied HP1a binding in relation to H3K9me in mutants of these HKMTs. We show that Su(var)3-9 is responsible for the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding in pericentromeric regions while Setdb1 controls the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding to cytological region 2L:31 and together with POF chromosome 4. HP1a binds to the promoters and within gene bodies of active genes in these three regions. More importantly, HP1a bound at promoters of active genes are independent of H3K9me and POF and is associated to heterochromatin protein 2 (HP2) and open chromatin. Our results supports a model where HP1a nucleates with high affinity independent of H3K9me in promoters of active genes and then spreads via H3K9 methylation and transient looping contacts with those H3K9me target sites. In total 44 samples; 2 replicates for each genotype and for each ChIP (HP1a, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3)

Heterochromatin remodeling by CDK12 contributes to learning in Drosophila

Project description:We describe the epigenetic profiling of the H3K9me2 and HP1a in Drosophila third instar larvae before and after CDK12 depletion by RNA interference (RNAi). Here we show that CDK12 regulates heterochromatin dynamics in Drosophila chromosomes. Depletion of CDK12 induces the increased HP1a and H3K9me2 binding profile on the coding region of euchromatic genes, with the X chromosome being the most affected. These results are consistent with the polytene chromosome immunostaining pattern of HP1a and H3K9me2 after CDK12 knockdown in our initial cytological observations, which show that CDK12 depletion induce heterochromatin spreading on euchromatic arms, especially on the X chromosome. This study describes a novel role of the CDK12 complex in controlling the epigenetic transition between euchromatin and heterochromatin.

Drosophila HP1a IP-MS - The composition and organization of Drosophila heterochromatin are heterogeneous and dynamic

Project description:Heterochromatin is enriched for characteristic epigenetic factors, including Heterochromatin Protein 1a (HP1a) and is essential for many organismal functions. However, how this nuclear domain is organized and functions is unclear. We extensively investigated heterochromatin protein compostion by biochemically purifying Drosophila melanogaster HP1a interactors.

JASPer controls interphase histone H3S10 phosphorylation by chromosomal kinase JIL-1 in Drosophila

Project description:In Drosophila the chromosomal kinase JIL-1 is responsible for most interphase histone H3S10 phosphorylation and has been proposed to protect active chromatin from acquiring heterochromatic marks, like dimethylated histone H3K9 (H3K9me2) and HP1. Here, we show that JIL-1’s targeting to chromatin depends on a PWWP domain-containing protein JASPer (JIL-1 Anchoring and Stabilizing Protein). The JASPer-JIL-1 (JJ)-complex is the major form of the kinase in vivo and is targeted to active genes and telomeric transposons via binding of the PWWP domain of JASPer to H3K36me3 nucleosomes, where the complex modulates the transcriptional output. JIL-1 and JJ-complex depletion in cycling cells lead to small changes in H3K9me2 distribution at active genes and telomeric transposons. Finally, we identify several interactors of the endogenous JJ-complex and propose that JIL-1 not only prevents heterochromatin formation but also coordinates chromatin-based regulation in the transcribed part of the genome.

The large fraction of heterochromatin in Drosophila neurons is simultaneously bound by B-type lamin and HP1a

Project description:In most mammalian cell lines, chromatin located at the nuclear periphery is represented by condensed heterochromatin as observed by both microscopy observations and DamID mapping of lamina-associated domains (LADs), enriched in dimethylated Lys9 of histone H3 (H3K9me2). In Drosophila Kc167 cell culture, where LADs were only mapped to the moment, they are neither H3K9me2-enriched, nor overlap with the domains of Heterochromatin Protein 1a (HP1a). Here, using a cell type-specific DamID approach we mapped genome-wide LADs, HP1a and Pc domains from the central brain, Repo-positive glia, Elav-positive neurons and the fat body of Drosophila third instar larvae. Silent or weakly-expressed genes occupy LADs, HP1a and Pc domains, with genes residing in the HP1a-bound LADs expressed at the lowest level. However, a fraction of HP1a domains contain actively expressed genes. The inter-LAD regions that are shared by all cell types are populated by ubiquitously expressed genes, whereas the conserved LADs are less abundant than in mammals. Importantly, in the central brain and in neurons we found strong overlap of HP1a domains with LADs both in the chromosome arms and in pericentromeric regions. In the glia and fat bodies, this overlap was less frequent. Consistent with these results, centromeres appear to reside closer to nuclear lamina in neurons than in Kc167 cells. The discovery of Drosophila peripheral chromatin bound by both HP1a and B-type lamin implies that mechanisms of heterochromatin compaction and attachment to nuclear lamina may be similar in Drosophila and mammals.

Dual Binding of Chromomethylase Domains to H3K9me2-containing Nucleosomes Mediates DNA Methylation in Plants

Project description:DNA methylation and histone modification exert epigenetic control over gene expression. CHG methylation by CHROMOMETHYLASE3 (CMT3) depends on histone H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2), but the mechanism underlying this relationship is poorly understood. Here, we report multiple lines of evidence that CMT3 interacts with H3K9me2-containing nucleosomes. CMT3 genome locations nearly perfectly correlated with H3K9me2 and CMT3 stably associated with H3K9me2-containing nucleosomes. Crystal structures of maize CMT3 homologue, ZMET2, in complex with H3K9me2 peptides, showed that ZMET2 binds H3K9me2 via both BAH and chromo domains. The structures reveal an aromatic cage within both BAH and chromo domains as interaction interfaces that capture H3K9me2. Mutations that abolish either interaction disrupt CMT3 binding to nucleosomes, and show a complete loss of CMT3 activity in vivo. Our study establishes dual recognition of H3K9me2 marks by BAH and chromo domains, and reveals a novel mechanism of interplay between DNA methylation and histone modification.
