Structural basis of epigenetic protection of mouse lymphoid progenitor cells by Dnmt1 [Mouse WGBS]

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is a universal epigenetic mechanism involved in regulation of gene expression and genome stability. The DNA maintenance methylase DNMT1 ensures that DNA methylation patterns are faithfully transmitted to daughter cells during cell division. Because DNMT1 is essential for cell viability, little is known about its tissue-specific function. To overcome this impediment, forward genetic screens were conducted in medaka and zebrafish to identify viable dnmt1 alleles. The recovered recessive missense mutations lead to distorted structures of the catalytic pocket and reduced enzymatic activities, resulting in hypomethylation of genomic DNA that specifically impairs lymphoid development. The insights gleaned from fish dnmt1 alleles enabled the structure-guided generation of a hypomorphic variant of mouse Dnmt1, which also causes cell-autonomous defects of lymphoid development. The similar phenotypes observed in three distinct species suggest that the unique sensitivity of lymphocytes to perturbations of DNA methylation patterns is an evolutionarily conserved feature of all vertebrates.

Non - canonical functions of UHRF1 maintain DNA methylation homeostasis in cancer cell

Project description:We have generated and validated degron alleles of UHRF1 and/or DNMT1 in several human colorectal cancer cell lines. We then used genomics and bioinformatics to precisely describe he DNA demethylation dynamics in these cells, leading to the conclusion that UHRF1 maintains DNA methylation in cancer cells not only by stimulating DNMT1. Proteomics and genetics lead us to conclude that UHRF1 regulates DNMT3A, DNMT3B and TET2 activity in addition to regulating DNMT1. The tools we have developed will be valuable for future research efforts, and our results advance our understanding of cancer epigenetics, with potentially important therapeutic applications.

Deep proteomic analysis of Dnmt1 mutant/hypomorphic colorectal cancer cells reveals dys-regulation of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and subcellular re-localization of Beta-Catenin

Project description:DNA methyltransferase I plays the central role in maintenance of CpG DNA methylation patterns across the genome and alteration of CpG methylation patterns is a frequent and significant occurrence across many cancers. Cancer cells carrying hypomorphic alleles of Dnmt1 have become important tools for understanding Dnmt1 function and CpG methylation. In this study, we analyse colorectal cancer cells with a homozygous deletion of exons 3 to 5 of Dnmt1, resulting in reduced Dnmt1 activity. Although this cell model has been widely used to study the epigenome, the effects of the Dnmt1 hypomorph on cell signalling pathways and the wider proteome are largely unknown. In this study, we perform the first quantitative proteomic analysis of this important cell model and identify multiple signalling pathways and processes that are significantly dysregulated in the hypomorph cells. In Dnmt1 hypomorph cells, we observed a clear and unexpected signature of increased Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers as well as reduced expression and sub-cellular re-localization of Beta-Catenin. Expression of wild-type Dnmt1 in hypomorph cells or knock-down of wild-type Dnmt1 did not recapitulate or rescue the observed protein profiles in Dnmt1 hypomorph cells suggesting that hypomorphic Dnmt1 causes changes not solely attributable to Dnmt1 protein levels. In summary we present the first comprehensive proteomic analysis of the widely studied Dnmt1 hypomorph colorectal cancer cells and identify redistribution of Dnmt1 and its interaction partner Beta-Catenin

DNMT1 IP-MS alalysis to identify ubiquitin-dependent interacting partners

Project description:Stable inheritance of DNA methylation is critical for maintaining the differentiated phenotypes in multicellular organisms. However, the molecular basis ensuring high fidelity of maintenance DNA methylation is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that two distinct modes of DNMT1 recruitment, one is DNA replication-coupled and the other is uncoupled mechanism, regulate the stable inheritance of DNA methylation. PCNA-associated factor 15 (PAF15) represents a primary target of UHRF1 and undergoes dual mono-ubiquitylation (PAF15Ub2) on chromatin. PAF15Ub2 specifically interacts with DNMT1 and controls the recruitment of DNMT1 in a DNA replication-coupled manner. Thus, loss of PAF15Ub2 results in impaired DNA methylation at sites replicating during early S phase. In contrast, outside of S phase or when PAF15 ubiquitylation is perturbed, UHRF1 ubiquitylates histone H3 to promote DNMT1 recruitment. Together, we identify replication-coupled and uncoupled mechanisms of maintenance DNA methylation, both of which collaboratively ensure the stable DNA methylation.

Inhibition of DNMT1 methyltransferase activity via glucose-regulated O-GlcNAcylation alters the epigenome

Project description:The DNA methyltransferase activity of DNMT1 is vital for genomic maintenance of DNA methylation. We report here that DNMT1 function is regulated by O-GlcNAcylation, a protein modification that is sensitive to glucose levels, and that elevated O-GlcNAcylation of DNMT1 from high glucose environment leads to alterations to the epigenome. Using mass spectrometry and complementary alanine mutation experiments, we identified S878 as the major residue that is O-GlcNAcylated on DNMT1. Functional studies further revealed that O-GlcNAcylation of DNMT1-S878 results in an inhibition of methyltransferase activity, resulting in a general loss of DNA methylation that is preferentially at partially methylated domains (PMDs). This loss of methylation corresponds with an increase in DNA damage and apoptosis. These results establish O-GlcNAcylation of DNMT1 as a mechanism through which the epigenome is regulated by glucose metabolism and implicates a role for glycosylation of DNMT1 in metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia.

DNA-Methyltransferases (DNMT) knockouts

Project description:Alterations in DNA-methylation are a hallmark of human tumor cells. DNMT1 is expressed in three different splice variants and exhibits considerable preference for hemimethylated DNA and is therefore referred to as the maintenance methylase. DNMT3b is generally considered to be responsible for de novo methylation during embryonic development and probably also during tumor development. Recent studies using somatic knock-out of DNA-methyltransferases have shown a reduction in overall methylation and a re-expression of tumor suppressor genes. Cells deficient of both, DNMT1 and DNMT3b may exhibit almost complete demethylation and growth suppression. In the present study, we performed MEK-inhibition via U0126 treatment for the wildtype and every DNMT-knockout to focus on MEK/RAS-target genes regulated by methylation. Keywords: genetic modification

Dnmt1 binds and represses genomic retroelements via DNA methylation in mouse early embryos (RNA-seq)

Project description:Genome-wide passive DNA demethylation in cleavage-stage mouse embryos is related to the cytoplasmic localization of the maintenance methyltransferase DNMT1. However, recent studies provided evidence of the nuclear localization of DNMT1 and its contribution to the maintenance of methylation levels of imprinted regions and other genomic loci in early embryos. Using the DNA-adenine methylase identification (DamID) method, we identified Dnmt1-binding regions in 4-cell and 8-cell embryos. The unbiased distribution of Dnmt1 peaks in the genic regions (promoters and CpG islands) as well as the absence of a correlation between the Dnmt1 peaks and the expression levels of the peak-associated genes refute the active participation of Dnmt1 in the transcriptional regulation of genes in the early developmental period. Instead, Dnmt1 was found to associate with genomic retroelements in a greatly biased fashion, particularly with the long interspersed nuclear elements (LINE1) and endogenous retrovirus type-K (ERVK) sequences. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the transcripts of the Dnmt1-enriched retroelements were overrepresented in Dnmt1 knockdown embryos. Finally, methyl-CpG-binding-domain sequencing proved that the Dnmt1-enriched retroelements, which were densely methylated in wild-type embryos, became demethylated in the Dnmt1-depleted embryos. Our results indicate that Dnmt1 is involved in the repression of retroelements through DNA methylation in early mouse development.
