Project description:UHRF1 is a key regulator of DNA methylation maintenance. In this study, we investigated whether acetylation of UHRF1 affects its hemimethylated DNA binding affinity and alters genome-wide DNA methylation pattern. We observed that acetylation of UHRF1 is regulated by HDAC1 and PCAF. We investigated DNA methylation profile of HDAC1 depleted HCT116 cell with control cell.

Project description:UHRF1 (Ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domains, 1) recruits DNMT1 to hemimethylated DNA during replication, is essential for maintaining DNA methylation patterns during cell division and is suggested to direct additional repressive epigenetic marks. Uhrf1 mutation in zebrafish results in multiple embryonic defects including failed hepatic outgrowth, but the epigenetic basis of these phenotypes is not known. We find that DNA methylation is the only epigenetic mark that is depleted in uhrf1 mutants and make the surprising finding that despite the reduced organ size in uhrf1 mutants, genes regulating DNA replication and S-phase progression were highly upregulated. Further, there is a striking increase in BrdU incorporation in uhrf1 mutant cells, and they retained BrdU labeling over several days, indicating they are arrested in S-phase. Moreover, some of the label retaining nuclei co-localized with TUNEL positive nuclei, suggesting that arrested cells are responsible for apoptosis. Importantly, dnmt1 mutation phenocopies the S-phase arrest and hepatic outgrowth defects in uhrf1 mutants and Dnmt1 knock-down enhances the uhrf1 hepatic phenotype. Together, these data indicate that DNA hypomethylation is sufficient to generate the uhrf1 mutant phenotype by promoting an S-phase arrest. We thus propose that cell cycle arrest is a mechanism to restrict propagation of epigenetically deranged cells during embryogenesis. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed on 2 uhrf1 mutant and 2 wildtype zebrafish larvae (120 hours post fertilization) by using Zebrafish Genome Array (Affymetrix) according to manufacturer's instruction.

Project description:UHRF1 is essential for targeting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT’s) to replicating DNA to establish de novo DNA methylation and maintain it. While, UHRF1 domains are defined, including requirement for an E3 ligase region, for de novo methylation, those essential for maintenance have been difficult to outline. Herein, via a new assay, chromatin histone-binding and a hemimethylated DNA reader domains, but not the ligase domain are found essential for cancer-specific DNA methylation maintenance in human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Disrupting each essential domain phenocopies UHRF1 depletion for global DNA demethylation, reactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), and reduction in CRC invasion and metastatic properties. Moreover, there is strong negative correlation between high UHRF1 expression, low TSG expression, and abnormal methylation with CRC progression and overall survival. Our battery of findings suggest the value of targeting specific domains of UHRF1 for cancer therapy and adding a precision medicine approach through use of the biomarker associations we define.

Project description:The multi-domain protein UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domains, 1) recruits DNMT1 for DNA methylation maintenance during DNA replication. Here, we show that MOF (Males absent On the First) is an acetyltransferase of UHRF1 to acetylate UHRF1 at Lys670 in the pre-RING linker region whereas HDAC1 is a deacetylase of UHRF1 at the same site. The MOF/HDAC1-mediated acetylation in UHRF1 is cell-cycle regulated and peaks at G1/S phase, in line with the function of UHRF1 in recruiting DNMT1 to maintain DNA methylation. In addition, UHRF1 acetylation significantly enhances its E3 ligase activity and elimination of UHRF1 acetylation at these sites attenuates UHRF1-mediated H3 ubiquitination, which in turn impairs the DNMT1 recruitment and DNA methylation. Taken together, these findings not only identify MOF as a new acetyltransferase for UHRF1 but also reveal a novel mechanism underlying the regulation of DNA methylation maintenance through MOF-mediated UHRF1 acetylation.

Project description:We used microarrays to explore the expression profile from cells expressing wild type and UHRF1 S674A mutant. HeLa cells expressing UHRF1 WT and S674A mutant showed similar gene expression pattern without significant affecting the transcription of DNA repari genes. UHRF1 was depleted in HeLa cells by shRNA treatment. Total RNA was purified and used to determine the global gene transcription profiles by microarray assays. The UHRF1-related genes expression profiles were compared among control cells, UHRF1-depleted cells, UHRF1 WT reconstituting cells and UHRF1 S674A mutant reconstituting cells.

Project description:The E3 ligase UHRF1 is an essential epigenetic cofactor for DNMT1 dependent maintenance DNA methylation, which provides a binding platform for DNMT1 by both cooperative binding of histones and hemi-methylated DNA as well as by ubiquitinating histone H3. Here, we conduct a comprehensive screen to identify novel ubiquitination targets of UHRF1 and its paralogue UHRF2 by comparing the ubiquitome of wildtype (wt), UHRF1- and UHRF2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells. With an antibody-dependent enrichment of ubiquitin remnant motif-containing peptides followed by isobaric-labeling based quantitative mass spectrometry, we find both known and novel E3 ligase substrates of UHRF1 involved in a variety of biological processes such as RNA processing, DNA methylation and DNA damage repair.

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.
