G9a plays distinct roles in maintaining DNA methylation, retrotransposon silencing and chromatin looping

ABSTRACT: G9a is a lysine methyltransferase that regulates epigenetic modifications, transcription and genome organization. However, whether these properties are dependent on one another or represent distinct functions of G9a remains unclear. In this study, we observe widespread DNA methylation loss in G9a depleted and catalytic mutant embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, we define how G9a regulates chromatin accessibility, epigenetic modifications and transcriptional silencing in both catalytic dependent and independent manners. Reactivated retrotransposons provide alternative promoters and splice sites leading to upregulation of neighboring genes and production of chimeric transcripts. Moreover, while topologically associated domains and compartments A/B definitions are largely unaffected, the loss of G9a leads to altered chromatin states, aberrant CTCF and cohesin binding, and differential chromatin looping especially at retrotransposons. Taken together, our findings reveal how G9a regulates the epigenome, transcriptome and higher-order chromatin structures in distinct mechanisms.

Dynamics of de novo heterochromatin assembly and disassembly at replication forks ensures fork stability

Project description:Chromatin is dynamically reorganized when DNA replication forks are challenged. However, the process of epigenetic reorganization and its implication for fork stability is poorly understood. Here, we discover a checkpoint regulated cascade of chromatin signaling that activates 5 the histone methyltransferase EHMT2/G9a to catalyze heterochromatin assembly at stressed replication forks. Using biochemical and single molecule chromatin fiber approaches, we show that G9a together with SUV39h1 induces chromatin compaction by accumulating the repressive modifications, H3K9me1/me2/me3, in the vicinity of stressed replication forks. This closed conformation is also favored by the G9a-dependent exclusion of the H3K9-demethylase 10 JMJD1A/KDM3A, which facilitates heterochromatin disassembly upon fork restart. Untimely heterochromatin disassembly from stressed forks by KDM3A enables PRIMPOL access, triggering ssDNA gap formation and sensitizing cells towards chemotherapeutic drugs. These findings may help explaining chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis observed in cancer patients displaying elevated level of G9a/H3K9me3.

H3K9 methyltransferase G9a negatively regulates UHRF1 transdcription during leukemia cell differentiation.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications of histone N-terminal tails influence the status of chromatin and eventually control the transcriptional outcome of a particular gene. As a histone H3K9 methyltransferase (HMTase) in higher eukaryotes, G9a-mediated transcriptional repression is the major epigenetic silencing machinery. UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains I) binds to hemi-methylated DNA and plays essential role in maintenance of DNA methylation by recruiting DNMT1. Here, we provide evidence that UHRF1 is transcriptionally downregulated by H3K9 HMTase G9a. We found that increased expression of G9a along with transcription factor YY1 specifically represses UHRF1 transcription. We uncovered showed that G9a regulates UHRF1-mediated H3K23 ubiquitylation and proper DNA replication maintenance by FACS analysis and propose that H3K9 HMTase G9a is a specific epigenetic regulator of UHRF1.

A role for Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) in retention of the G9a methyltransferase on chromatin

Project description:G9a and GLP lysine methyltransferases form a heterodimeric complex that is responsible for the bulk of cellular mono- and di-methylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me1/me2). Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) associates with the G9a/GLP protein complex, but its role in lysine methylation is poorly defined. Here, we show that WIZ regulates global H3K9me2 levels through a mechanism that involves retention of G9a on chromatin. We also show that WIZ-mediated chromatin loss of G9a/GLP results in altered gene expression and protein-protein interactions that are distinguishable from that of using a molecule-induced enzymatic inhibitor towards G9a/GLP – thus providing evidence that the G9a/GLP/WIZ complex has unique functions when bound to chromatin that are independent of the H3K9me2 mark DMSO, UNC0638, NS, and siWIZ treatments to HEK293T cells, assessing G9a and H3K9me2 localization, each performed in duplicate, plus one input control for each cell condition. 30 samples total.

Proteomic analyses identify a novel role for EZH2 in the initiation of cancer cell drug tolerance

Project description:Acquisition of drug resistance remains a chief impediment to successful cancer therapy, and we previously described a transient drug-tolerant cancer cell population (DTPs) whose survival is in part dependent on the activities of the histone methyltransferases G9a/EHMT2 and EZH2, the latter being the catalytic component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Here, we applied multiple proteomic techniques to better understand the role of these HMTs in the establishment of the DTP state. Proteome-wide comparisons of lysine methylation patterns revealed that DTPs have increased methylation on K116 of PRC member Jarid2, an event that helps stabilize and recruit PRC2 to chromatin. We also found that EZH2, in addition to methylating histone H3K27, also methylates G9a at K185, and that methylated G9a better recruits repressive complexes to chromatin; similar to complexes recruited by histone H3 methylated at K9. Finally, a detailed histone posttranslational modification (PTM) analysis shows that EZH2, either directly or through its ability to methylate G9a, alters H3K9 methylation in the specific context of H3 serine10 phosphorylation, and primarily in a cancer cell subpopulation that serves as DTP precursors. We also show that combinations of histone PTMs recruit a different set of complexes to chromatin, shedding light on the temporal mechanisms that contribute to drug tolerance.
