Project description:Higher-order chromatin structure is critical for proper gene regulation, but the relationship between genome folding and cellular identity remains elusive. Here, we show that genetic deletion of the Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) in murine neural crest cells recapitulates features of cohesinopathies. We demonstrate that BRD4 interacts with NIPBL, a positive cohesin regulator, and acute depletion of BRD4 or loss of the BRD4-NIPBL interaction reduces NIPBL-occupancy, elucidating the importance of BRD4 in stabilizing NIPBL on chromatin. Genome-wide chromatin interaction mapping and quantitative imaging studies demonstrate that BRD4-depletion results in aberrant genome folding, specifically loss of a subset of chromatin loops, weakening of TADs, and compromised loop extrusion. Finally, loss of BRD4 or the interaction with NIPBL impedes neural crest differentiation which, remarkably, is rescued by WAPL depletion, a negative cohesin regulator. Our data reveal that BRD4 choreographs genome folding, illustrating the importance of balancing cohesin activity on progenitor differentiation.

Project description:Global changes in chromatin organization and the cessation of transcription during mitosis are thought to challenge the resumption of appropriate transcription patterns following mitosis. The acetyl-lysine binding protein BRD4 has been previously suggested to function as a transcriptional “bookmark” on mitotic chromatin. Here, genome-wide location analysis of BRD4 in erythroid cells, combined with novel data normalization and peak characterization approaches, reveals that BRD4 widely occupies mitotic chromatin. However, removal of BRD4 from mitotic chromatin does not impair post-mitotic activation of transcription. Additionally, histone mass spectrometry reveals global preservation of most posttranslational modifications (PTMs) during mitosis. In particular, H3K14ac, H3K27ac, H3K122ac, and H4K16ac widely mark mitotic chromatin, especially at lineage-specific genes, and predict BRD4 mitotic binding genome wide. Therefore, BRD4 is likely not a mitotic bookmark but only a “passenger”. Instead, mitotic histone acetylation patterns may constitute the actual bookmarks that restore lineage-specific transcription patterns after mitosis.

Project description:To investigate the mechanism that drives dramatic mistargeting of active chromatin in NUT midline carcinoma, we have identified protein interactions unique to the BRD4-NUT fusion oncoprotein compared to wild type BRD4. Using crosslinking, affinity purification, and mass spectrometry, we identified the EP300 acetyltransferase as uniquely associated with BRD4 through the NUT fusion in both NMC and non-NMC cell types. We also discovered ZNF532 among a small number of candidates associated with BRD4-NUT in NMC patient cells but not present in 293T cells.

Project description:The histone acetyl-reader BRD4 is an important regulator of chromatin structure and transcription, yet factors modulating its activity have remained elusive. Here we describe two complementary screens for genetic and physical interactors of BRD4, which converge on the folate pathway enzyme MTHFD1. We show that a fraction of MTHFD1 resides in the nucleus, where it is recruited to distinct genomic loci by direct interaction with BRD4. Inhibition of either BRD4 or MTHFD1 results in similar changes in nuclear metabolite composition and gene expression, and pharmacologic inhibitors of the two pathways synergize to impair cancer cell viability in vitro and in vivo. Our finding that MTHFD1 and other metabolic enzymes are chromatin-associated suggests a direct role for nuclear metabolism in the control of gene expression.

Project description:Analysis of BRD4 ChIP-seq data of two types of human transformed fibroblasts (WT and HGPS) to identify specific and common binding sites for BRD4. Transformed cell lines were obtained by retroviral introduction of TERT (T), V12-HRAS (R) and SV40 large and small T antigens (S) of primary skin fibroblasts for HGPS patients (TRS-HGPS) and age-matched control wild-type individuals (TRS-WT) Abstract: Advanced age and DNA damage accumulation are strong risk factors for cancer. The premature-aging disorder Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) provides a unique opportunity to study the interplay between DNA damage and aging-associated tumor mechanisms, since HGPS patients do not develop tumors despite elevated levels of DNA damage. Here, we have used HGPS patient cells to identify a protective mechanism to oncogenesis. We find that HGPS cells are resistant to neo-plastic transformation. This resistance is mediated by the bromodomain protein BRD4, which exhibits altered genome-wide binding patterns in transformation-resistant cells leading to inhibition of oncogenic de-differentiation. BRD4 also in-hibits, albeit to a lower extent, the tumorigenic potential of transformed cells from healthy individuals and BRD4-mediated tumor protection is clinically relevant, since a BRD4 gene signature predicts positive clinical outcome in breast and lung cancer. Our results demonstrate a protective function for BRD4 and suggest tissue-specific functions for BRD4 in tumorigenesis.
