The role of mammalian DNA methyltransferases in the regulation of temporal order of DNA replication [BrdU-IP]

ABSTRACT: Multiple epigenetic pathways underlie the temporal order of DNA replication (replication timing) in the context of development and disease. DNA methylation by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and downstream chromatin reorganization and transcriptional changes are thought to impact DNA replication, yet this remains to be comprehensively tested. Using cell biological and genome-wide approaches to measure replication timing, we identified a number of genomic regions undergoing subtle but reproducible replication timing changes in various DNMT-mutant mouse ES cell lines that include a line with a drug-inducible DNMT3a2 expression system. Replication timing within pericentromeric heterochromatin (PH) correlates with redistribution of H3K27me3 induced upon DNA hypomethylation: later replicating PH coincides with H3K27me3 enriched regions. In contrast, this relationship with H3K27me3 was not evident at chromosomal arm regions that undergo either early-to-late (EtoL) or late-to-early (LtoE) replication timing switching upon loss of DNMTs. Interestingly, transcriptional up- and down-regulation frequently coincide with earlier and later shifts in replication timing of chromosomal arm regions, respectively. Our study revealed previously unrecognized complex and diverse roles of DNMTs in shaping the mammalian DNA replication landscape.

Structure of DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A/DNMT3B bound to a nucleosome [array]

Project description:CpG methylation by the de novo DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) 3A and 3B is essential for mammalian development and differentiation and is frequently dysregulated in cancer1. These two DNMTs preferentially bind to nucleosomes yet cannot methylate the DNA wrapped around the nucleosome core2, and favor the methylation of linker DNA at positioned nucleosomes3,4. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of a ternary complex of catalytically competent DNMT3A2, the catalytically inactive accessory subunit DNMT3B3, and a nucleosome core particle flanked by linker DNA. The catalytic-like domain of the accessory DNMT3B3 binds the acidic patch of the nucleosome core, which orients the binding of DNMT3A2 to the linker DNA. The steric constraints of this arrangement suggest that nucleosomal DNA must be moved relative to the nucleosome core for de novo methylation to occur.

Dnmt3a1 regulates memory formation via the downstram target Nrp1

Project description:Epigenetic factors are well established players in memory formation. Specifically, DNA methylation is necessary for the formation of long-term memory in multiple brain regions including the hippocampus. Despite the demonstrated role for DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) in memory formation whether individual Dnmts play unique or redundant functions in long-term memory formation is not well established. Furthermore, the downstream processes controlled by the Dnmts during the consolidation of memory are not investigated. In this study, we investigated the requirement for Dnmt3a1, the predominant Dnmt in the adult brain, in hippocampal long-term memory formation. Furthermore, we identified an activity-regulated Dnmt3a1-dependent genomic program. Our data showed that Dnmt3a1, similarly to its isoform Dnmt3a2, plays a critical role in memory formation. Furthermore, we uncovered Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) as a downstream target of Dnmt3a1 during the formation of memory. Intriguingly, we found that Nrp1 expression is selectively regulated and a specific downstream effector of Dnmt3a1, but not Dnmt3a2. Taken together, our study uncovered a Dnmt3a isoform specific mechanism in memory formation and further highlighted the complex and highly regulated functions of distinct epigenetic regulators in brain function.

Replication timing and epigenome remodelling are associated with the nature of chromosomal rearrangements in cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:DNA replication timing is known to facilitate the establishment of the epigenome, however, the intimate connection between replication timing and changes to the genome and epigenome in cancer remain largely uncharacterised. Here, we perform Repli-Seq and integrated epigenome analyses and demonstrate that genomic regions that undergo long-range epigenetic deregulation in prostate cancer also show concordant differences in replication timing. A subset of altered replication timing domains are conserved across cancers from different tissue origins. Notably, late-replicating regions in cancer cells display a loss of DNA methylation, and a switch in heterochromatin features from H3K9me3-marked constitutive to H3K27me3-marked facultative heterochromatin. Finally, analysis of 214 prostate and 35 breast cancer genomes reveal that late-replicating regions are prone to cis and early-replication to trans chromosomal rearrangements. Together, our data suggests that the nature of chromosomal rearrangement in cancer is related to the spatial and temporal positioning and altered epigenetic states of early-replicating compared to late-replicating loci.

Profiling DNA Replication Timing in Zebrafish Embryos Reveals Dynamic Regulation During Development

Project description:The temporal order of DNA replication is modified during differentiation, but when a replication timing program is established and what alterations occur in vivo during embryogenesis are not known. Here we used zebrafish embryos to generate genome-wide, high-resolution replication timing maps throughout development. Unexpectedly, a non-random and defined replication timing program was evident in the rapid cell cycles before the midblastula transition. The majority of the genome undergoes dynamic shifts in replication timing throughout development as the timing program is decompressed, with many abrupt timing changes occurring during lineage specification. Strikingly, the long arm of chromosome 4 undergoes a developmentally regulated switch to late replication, reminiscent of mammalian X chromosome inactivation. This analysis also revealed a strong relationship between early replication and epigenetic marks at enhancers. Collectively, these data reveal the major changes in replication timing that occur during zebrafish embryogenesis, and demonstrate its dynamic regulation during vertebrate development.

Stickleback genome-wide replication timing from whole embryo

Project description:Developing stickleback embryos were dissociated and sorted for S-phase and G0/G1-phase cell populations. DNA was extracted from each population and sequenced. In a mixed S-phase population, regions that replicate earlier are at higher copy number (up to 2x) than regions that replicate later. The read depth in S-phase, normalized to the read depth in G-phase, thus represents replication timing.

Replication timing data for six human cell lines under aphidicolin treatment (t0) and after release (N+1)

Project description:DNA replication is very well orchestrated in mammalian cells due to a tight regulation of the temporal order of replication origin activation, known as the replication timing program. The replication timing of a given replication domain is very robust and well conserved in each cell type. Upon low replication stress, the slowing of replication forks induces delayed replication of some fragile regions leading to DNA damage and genetic instability. Except for these fragile regions, the direct impact of low replication stress on the replication timing in different cellular backgrounds has not been explored in detail. Here we analysed DNA replication timing across the whole genome in a panel of human cell lines in the presence of low replication stress. We demonstrate that low replication stress induced by aphidicolin has a stronger impact on the replication timing of cancer cells than non-tumour cells. Strikingly, we unveiled an enrichment of specific replication domains undergoing a switch from late to early replication in some cancer cells. We found that advances in replication timing correlate with heterochromatin regions poorly sensitive to DNA damage signalling while being subject to an increase of chromatin accessibility in response to aphidicolin. Finally, our data indicate that, following release from replication stress conditions, replication timing advances can be inherited by the next cellular generation, suggesting a new mechanism by which some cancer cells would adapt to cellular or environmental stress.
