PRC1 facilitates stage-specific enhancer-promoter contacts during Drosophila development

ABSTRACT: Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are highly conserved epigenetic factors that collaborate at multiple levels to maintain their target genes in a repressed state. However, recent reports suggest that PRC1 binds a subset of active promoters and enhancers devoid of the PRC2-mediated H3K27me3 repressive mark in both Drosophila and mammals. Here, we characterize the 3D epigenome of Drosophila Eye-antennal imaginal discs (EDs) and identify a large set of PRC1-bound promoters and enhancers that show preferential interactions in 3D. These PRC1-centered contacts are generally not pre-formed in embryos and coincide with increased PRC1 binding at the larval stage, a concomitant increase in expression during development and mis-regulation in PRC1 mutants. A detailed analysis of the dachshund locus indicates that PRC1-anchored chromatin loops are not only repressive structures, but might also be required for gene activation. Finally, a meta-analysis of RING1B binding profiles and 3D contacts during mouse neural differentiation suggests that this function might be conserved in mammals. These data suggest that, in addition to its known function in gene silencing, PRC1 binding to enhancers and promoters favors stage-specific 3D contacts to facilitate transcription of key developmental genes.

LFQMS of RING2 (RING1B, RNF2) immunoprecipitation from MDA-MB-231 and T47D breast cancer cells

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex PRC1 is essential for gene regulation in numerous cell fate decisions. We show that RING1B (RING2, RNF2) and canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) genes are amplified and overexpressed in breast cancer (BC). Moreover, cPRC1 complexes functionally associate with genes regulated by cell type specific key transcription factors such as estrogen receptor (ER) in ER+ tumor cells and BRD4 in triple negative BC cells. cPRC1 is recruited to active enhancers in a manner independent of PRC2 and RING1B enzymatic activity. RING1B regulates enhancer activity and gene transcription not only by promoting the expression of BC oncogenes but also by regulating chromatin accessibility for oncogenic transcription factors. RING1B recruitment, and thus PRC1 association, to active enhancers occurs in multiple cancers.

Mapping polycomb complexes in human and mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:In embryonic stem (ES) cells, bivalent chromatin domains with overlapping repressive (H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation) and activating (H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation) histone modifications mark the promoters of more than 2000 genes. To gain insight into the structure and function of bivalent domains, we mapped key histone modifications and subunits of Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) genomewide in human and mouse ES cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by ultra high-throughput sequencing. We find that bivalent domains can be segregated into two classes: the first occupied by both PRC2 and PRC1 (PRC1-positive) and the second specifically bound by PRC2 (PRC2-only). PRC1-positive bivalent domains appear functionally distinct as they more efficiently retain lysine 27 tri-methylation upon differentiation, show stringent conservation of chromatin state, and associate with an overwhelming number of developmental regulator gene promoters. We also used computational genomics to search for sequence determinants of Polycomb binding. This analysis revealed that the genomewide locations of PRC2 and PRC1 can be largely predicted from the locations, sizes and underlying motif contents of CpG islands. We propose that large CpG islands depleted of activating motifs confer epigenetic memory by recruiting the full repertoire of Polycomb complexes.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of mouse polycomb group (PcG) proteins in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are highly conserved from flies to mammals and many of these factors have essential roles in early embryonic development. PcG proteins comprise two multimeric complexes, the Polycomb Repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2), which have been shown to repress transcription through epigenetic modification of chromatin structure. To gain insight into the role of Polycomb in early development, we have identified PRC1 and PRC2 target genes in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells using genome-scale location analysis. We found that PRC2 occupies many genes that encode key regulators of development including those encoding transcription factors and components of signaling pathways. These genes are repressed and contain nucleosomes methylated at lysine 27 on histone H3. The majority of PRC2 bound and methylated target genes are co-occupied by PRC1 indicating that these complexes function at a similar set of genes in ES cells. Lack of PRC1 or PRC2 subunits in ES cells results in derepression of target genes and loss of pluripotency. These results provide insight into how PcG proteins contribute to the maintenance of stem cell identity.

Loss of Cohesin regulator PDS5A reveals repressive role of Polycomb loops

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1, PRC2) are conserved epigenetic regulators that promote transcriptional silencing. PRC1 and PRC2 converge on shared targets, catalyzing repressive histone modifications. In addition, a subset of PRC1/PRC2 targets engage in long-range interactions whose functions in gene silencing are poorly understood. Using a CRISPR screen in mouse embryonic stem cells, we discovered that the cohesin regulator PDS5A links transcriptional silencing by Polycomb and 3D genome organization. PDS5A deletion impairs cohesin unloading and results in derepression of subset of endogenous PRC1/PRC2 target genes. Importantly, derepression is not associated with loss of repressive Polycomb chromatin modifications. Instead, loss of PDS5A leads to aberrant cohesin activity, ectopic insulation sites and specific reduction of ultra-long Polycomb loops. We infer that these loops are important for robust silencing at a subset of Polycomb target genes and that maintenance of cohesin-dependent genome architecture is critical for Polycomb regulation.

Polycomb complexes associate with enhancers to promote oncogenic transcriptional programs in cancer

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play an essential role in cell fate decisions, embryonic development and gene regulation. While the functions of PRC2 in cancer are under intense study, the function of PRC1 in cancer remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that RNF2, the gene encoding RING1B, and canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) genes are amplified and overexpressed in breast cancer. Specifically, in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer cells, cPRC1 is functionally associated with enhancers and genes regulated by ERa, while in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, a different cPRC1 variant is recruited to enhancers and promoters occupied by the bromodomain protein BRD4. Mechanistically, cPRC1 complexes are recruited to active enhancers independently of PRC2 and RING1B enzymatic activity. Moreover, RING1B has a dual role in regulating enhancer activity and gene transcription as it is recruited to enhancers to maintain and promote gene expression of breast cancer oncogenes. We also show that RING1B regulates chromatin accessibility of oncogenic transcription factors. Finally, we provide evidence that association of PRC1 to active enhancers is not restricted to breast cancer, demonstrating that RING1B recruitment to transcriptionally active sites occurs in multiple cancer types. Our work highlights a non-classical function of cPRC1 complexes in regulating specific oncogenic programs in cancer through its association with enhancer regions.

The dynamic interactome and genomic targets of Polycomb complexes during stem cell differentiation

Project description:While the core members of the Polycomb family of proteins (PRC2, PRC1, PR-DUB) are well-characterized, little is known about the specific composition of and protein-protein interactions within these complexes in different cell types. We performed quantitative interaction proteomics and cross-linking mass spectrometry on core Polycomb complex members to identify novel interactors, the relative abundance (stoichiometry) of subunits, and the architecture of these complexes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Differentiation to NPCs resulted in dramatic binding changes for several substoichiometric interactors of PRC2 and PRC1. ChIP-seq of core PRC2 and PRC1 subunits in mESCs and NPCs also identified dynamic changes in the genomic localization of these complexes. We observed a loss of PRC2 from most H3K27me3 sites during differentiation, whereas PRC1 is retained at these sites. Additionally, we found PRC1 at enhancers and promoters of active genes independent of PRC2 binding. Overexpression studies using NPC-specific PRC1 interactors demonstrated that the subunit switching observed during differentiation can change PRC1 target site binding. Altogether, these findings extend our understanding of Polycomb family composition, architecture, and genome-wide localization. ChIP-seq samples for Suz12, Ezh2, Ring1b, Pcgf2, and inputs from mouse embryonic stems cells (mES) and neural progenitor cells (NPC) as well as NPC histone H3K4me1 ChIP-seq.

Fine-scale chromatin interaction maps reveal the cis-regulatory landscape of lincRNA genes in human cells

Project description:Characterizing the relationship between genome form and function requires methods both for zooming out, to globally survey the genomic architectural landscape, and for zooming in, to investigate regions of interest at high resolution. High throughput methods based on chromosome conformation capture (3C) have greatly advanced our understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) organization of genomes, but are limited in resolution by their reliance on restriction enzymes. Here we describe a method for comprehensively mapping global chromatin contacts that uses DNaseI for chromatin fragmentation, leading to greatly improved efficiency and resolution. Coupling this method with DNA capture technology provides a high-throughput approach for targeted mapping of fine-scale chromatin architecture. We applied targeted DNase Hi-C to characterize the 3D organization of 1,030 lincRNA promoters in two human cell lines, and identified thousands of high-confidence lincRNA promoter-associated chromatin contacts at 1 kilobase pair (kbp) resolution. Detailed analysis of these contacts reveals that expression of lincRNAs is tightly controlled by complex mechanisms involving both super-enhancers and the polycomb repressive complex. Our results provide the first glimpse of the cell-type-specific 3D organization of lincRNA genes. DNase Hi-C assay (x1 replicate) in H1 and K562 cells, respectively. Targeted DNase Hi-C assays of the 220kb promoter-enhancer library (x1 replicate) and the 5Mb lincRNA promoter library (x2 replicate), in H1 and K562 cells, respectively.

Deletion of RING1A/B and loss of H2AK119ub1 affects PRC2 occupancy and H3K27me3 genome-wide

Project description:The chromatin modifying activities inherent to polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play an essential role in gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and development. However, the mechanisms by which these complexes recognize their target sites and function together to form repressive chromatin domains remain poorly understood. Recruitment of PRC1 to target sites has been proposed to occur through a hierarchical process, dependent on the prior nucleation of PRC2 and placement of H3K27me3. Here, using a de novo targeting assay in mouse embryonic stem cells we unexpectedly discover that PRC1-dependent H2AK119ub1 leads to the recruitment of PRC2 and H3K27me3 to effectively initiate a polycomb domain. Genetic ablation of catalytic subunit of the PRC1 complex (RINGA/B) and ChIP-seq analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 components confirmed genome-wide decreases in PRC2 occupancy and H3K27me3 levels at PRC target sites. This activity is restricted to variant PRC1 complexes and genetic ablation experiments reveal that targeting of the variant PCGF1/PRC1 complex by KDM2B to CpG islands is required for polycomb domain formation and normal development. Together these observations provide a surprising new PRC1-dependent logic for PRC2 occupancy and polycomb domain formation. RING1A-/-;RING1Bfl/fl ES cells were treated with 800M-BM-5M tamoxifen for 48hours and compared to untreated control cells by ChIP-seq for RING1B, SUZ12, EZH2 and H3K27me3.
