The landscape of H3K27me2 in mice zygotes

ABSTRACT: H3K27 di-methylation and H3K27 trimethylation are marks of facultative heterochromatin which maintains transcriptional repression established during early development in many eukaryotes. However, the mechanism underlying establishment and regulation of epigenetic asymmetry in the zygote remains obscure. Here we report the distribution pattern of H3K27me2 in Ezh2m+/p+ and Ezh2m-/p+ mice zygotes using the approach of ULI-NChIP.

Loss of HP1 causes depletion of H3K27me3 from facultative heterochromatin and gain of H3K27me2 at constitutive heterochromatin

Project description:Methylated lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me) marks repressed "facultative heterochromatin", including developmentally regulated genes in plants and animals. The mechanisms responsible for localization of H3K27me are largely unknown, perhaps in part because of the complexity of epigenetic regulatory networks. We used a relatively simple model organism bearing both facultative and constitutive heterochromatin, Neurospora crassa, to explore possible interactions between elements of heterochromatin. In higher eukaryotes, reductions of H3K9me3 and DNA methylation in constitutive heterochromatin have been variously reported to cause redistribution of H3K27me3. In Neurospora, we found that elimination of any member of the DCDC H3K9 methylation complex (DIM-5, DIM-7, CUL4, DDB1/DIM-8 or DIM-9) caused massive changes in the distribution of H3K27me; regions of facultative heterochromatin lost H3K27me3 while regions that are normally marked by H3K9me3 became methylated at H3K27. Elimination of DNA methylation by deletion of the DNA methyltransferase gene, dim-2, had no obvious effect on the distribution of H3K27me. Elimination of HP1, which "reads" H3K9me3, also caused major changes in the distribution of H3K27me, indicating that HP1 is important for normal localization of facultative heterochromatin. Because loss of HP1 caused redistribution of H3K27me2/3 but not H3K9me3, these normally non-overlapping marks became superimposed. Indeed, mass spectrometry revealed substantial cohabitation of H3K9me3 and H3K27me2 on H3 molecules from an hpo strain. Loss of H3K27me machinery (e.g. the methyltransferase SET-7) did not impact constitutive heterochromatin, but partially rescued the slow growth of the DCDC mutants, suggesting that the poor growth of these mutants is partly attributable to ectopic H3K27me. Altogether, our findings with Neurospora clarify interactions of facultative and constitutive heterochromatin in eukaryotes.

Distinct Roles of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 States Unveiled By Fate Specification of Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) induces methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27) through its catalytic subunit Ezh2. PRC2-mediated di- and tri-methylation (H3K27me2/me3) have been interchangeably associated with gene repression. However, it remains unclear whether these two degrees of H3K27 methylation have indeed different functions. In this study, we have generated isogenic mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) with a modified H3K27me2/H3K27me3 ratio. Our findings document a developmental dynamic control in the genomic distribution of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 at regulatory regions in ESC. They also reveal that modifying the H3K27me2/H327me3 ratio is sufficient for the acquisition and repression of defined cell lineage transcriptional programs and phenotypes, along with influencing induction of the ESC ground state.

An ultra-low-input native ChIP-seq protocol for genome-wide profiling of rare cell populations

Project description:The development of combined chromatin immunoprecipitation and next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) technologies has enabled genome-wide epigenetic profiling of numerous cell lines and tissue types. A major limitation of ChIP-seq, however, is the large number of cells required to generate high quality datasets, precluding the study of rare cell populations. Here, we present an ultra-low-input micrococcal nuclease-based native ChIP (ULI-NChIP) and sequencing method, to generate genome-wide histone mark profiles with high resolution and reproducibility from as few as one thousand cells. Using ULI-NChIP, we generated high quality maps of several covalent histone marks from 10^3-10^6 embryonic stem cells. To further validate our procedure we demonstrate that genome-wide H3K27me3 profiles generated from 10^3 E13.5 primordial germ cells (PGCs) using ULI-NChIP-seq show high similarity to recently generated datasets using 50-180× more material, illustrating the utility of this method for generating high quality libraries with improved complexity from rare cell populations.

Distribution of H3K27me2, dUTX, and histone H3 in Sg4 cells

Project description:PcG protein complex PRC2 is a methyltransferase specific for histone H3 lysine27, and H3K27me3 is essential for stable transcription silencing. Less well known but quantitatively much more important is the genome-wide role of PRC2 that dimethylates more than half of total H3K27. Here we have determined genomic distributions of H3K27me2, dUTX, and histone H3 in cultured Drosophila Sg4 cells by hybridization of ChIP products with tiling microarrays.

Interplay between Nsd1 and PRC2 demarcates regions of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3.

Project description:The core Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of Ezh1/2, Suz12, Eed and is responsible for mediating both H3K27me2 and H3K27me3. However, the mechanisms by which PRC2 demarcates these two repressive modifications in the genome are unknown. In a functional screen, we identified the H3K36 dimethyltransferase Nsd1 as a modulator of PRC2-mediated di- and trimethylation of H3K27. ChIP-Seq analysis following the depletion of Nsd1 revealed a global reduction in H3K36me2 and an increase in H3K27me3 at sites previously marked by H3K27me2. We show that the H3K36me2 at H3K27me2 marks co-occupy regions and provide evidence that the presence of H3K36me2 functions to restrict the spatial distribution of Polycomb mediated H3K27me3 domains.

Telomere repeats induce domains of H3K27 methylation in Neurospora

Project description:Development in higher organisms requires selective gene silencing, directed in part by di-/tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me2/3). Knowledge of the cues that control formation of such repressive Polycomb domains is extremely limited. We exploited natural and engineered chromosomal rearrangements in the fungus Neurospora crassa to elucidate the control of H3K27me2/3. Analyses of H3K27me2/3 in strains bearing chromosomal rearrangements revealed both position-dependent and position-independent facultative heterochromatin. We found that proximity to chromosome ends is necessary to maintain, and sufficient to induce, transcriptionally repressive, subtelomeric H3K27me2/3. We ascertained that such telomere-proximal facultative heterochromatin requires native telomere repeats and found that a short array of ectopic telomere repeats, (TTAGGG)17, can induce a large domain (~225 kb) of H3K27me2/3. This provides an example of a cis-acting sequence that directs H3K27 methylation. Our findings provide new insight into the relationship between genome organization and control of heterochromatin formation.
