A chemical genetic method for monitoring genome-wide dynamics of O-GlcNAc turnover on chromatin-associated proteins.

ABSTRACT: O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a necessary protein modification installed onto hundreds of nucleocytoplasmic proteins by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Recently, we developed an antibody-free metabolic feeding approach that enables unbiased mapping of O-GlcNAcylated proteins in a genome-wide manner, providing insight into the regulation of genes by O-GlcNAcylated proteins within Drosophila. Here we apply this O-GlcNAc chemical mapping strategy to a time course (TC) feeding experiment within Drosophila larvae, generated the first ever TC ChIP-seq experiment performed on both a protein modification and within a living organism. TC metabolic labeling experiments were performed in wild-type and O-GlcNAc hydrolase (OGA) deficient Drosophila. Analysis of the resulting sequencing data revealed that a loss of OGA causes a global increase in the retention of O-GlcNAc modification on proteins bound to the genome, suggesting most nuclear proteins are sensitive to effects of O-GlcNAc cycling. Interestingly, some loci are more sensitive to the impacts of a loss of OGA compared to others. This study will present an improved understanding of the regulation of gene expression by O-GlcNAc while providing the broader community with experimental methods for time-resolved analysis of genome-wide binding by proteins.

Project description:Drosophila development is a complex and dynamic process regulated, in part, by members of the Polycomb (Pc), Trithorax (Trx) and Compass chromatin modifier complexes. O-GlcNAc Transferase (OGT/SXC) is essential for Pc repression suggesting that the O-GlcNAcylation of proteins plays a key role in regulating development. OGT transfers N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) onto hydroxyl groups of serine or threonine residues of key transcriptional regulators using the nutrient-derived UDP-GlcNAc as a substrate, which is dynamically removed by O-GlcNAcase (OGA). We performed ChIP-chip and microarray analysis after OGT or OGA RNAi knockdown in Drosophila S2 cells and found that O-GlcNAc was elevated genome wide particularly at genes related to mitosis and cell cycle in OGA RNAi cells, but not at sites co-occupied by Pc member Pleiohomeotic (Pho), such as the Hox and NK homeobox gene clusters. Microarray analysis suggested that altered O-GlcNAc cycling perturbed the expression of genes associated with morphogenesis and cell cycle regulation. To examine the in vivo consequences of disturbed O-GlcNAc cycling in the whole animal, we produced a null allele of oga (ogadel.1) in Drosophila. Epigenetic activators including Trx group members Trithorax (Trx), Absent small or homeotic discs 1 (Ash1) and Compass member Set1 histone methyltransferases are O-GlcNAc modified in ogadel.1 mutants. ogadel.1 mutants displayed altered expression of a distinct set of cell cycle related genes in ovaries. Our results suggest that the loss of OGA could affect epigenetic machinery by accumulating O-GlcNAc on numerous chromatin factors including Trx, Ash1 and Set1 in Drosophila. We performed affymetrix tilingarray analysis after OGT or OGA RNAi knockdown in Drosophila S2 cells to find if that O-GlcNAc was elevated genome wide particularly at genes related to mitosis and cell cycle in OGA RNAi cells, but not at sites co-occupied by Pc member Pleiohomeotic (Pho), ------------------------------- This represents the gene expression component only
