Distinct roles of Haspin in stem cell division and male gametogenesis

ABSTRACT: The atypical protein kinase Haspin phosphorylates Histone H3 at threonine-3 (H3T3ph) during mitosis. H3T3ph creates a docking site for the Chromosomal Passenger Complex at the inner centromere, enabling correction of erratic microtubule-chromosome contacts and preventing chromosome mis-segregation. Surprisingly, Haspin knockout in the mouse does not cause developmental defects, except for testicular anomalies. Therefore, the physiological role of this kinase and the mechanistic significance of H3T3ph are in question. We show here that mouse embryonic stem cells that lack or overexpress Haspin are prone to chromosome misalignment. However, the cell population as a whole maintains the ability to expand and differentiate into multiple lineages. Although not essential for pluripotency, Haspin affects the expression of several testis-specific genes. Furthermore, the H3T3ph mark is detected in under-condensed chromatin domains of haploid spermatids, in cis with lysine/arginine methylation marks. We propose that Haspin controls a compound phospho-methyl switch and regulates testis-specific transcription.

Haspin-dependent and independent effects of the kinase inhibitor 5-Iodotubercidin on self-renewal and differentiation.

Project description:The kinase Haspin phosphorylates histone H3 at threonine-3 (H3T3ph), creating a docking site for the Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC). CPC plays a pivotal role in preventing chromosome misalignment. Here, we have examined the effects of 5-Iodotubercidin (5-ITu), a commonly used Haspin inhibitor, on self-renewal and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Treatment with low concentrations of 5-ITu eliminates the H3T3ph mark during mitosis, but does not affect the mode or the outcome of self-renewal divisions. Interestingly, 5-ITu causes sustained accumulation of p53, increases markedly the expression of histone genes and results in reversible upregulation of the pluripotency factor Klf4. However, the properties of 5-ITu treated cells are distinct from those observed in Haspin-knockout cells generated by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, suggesting "off-target" effects. Continuous exposure to 5-ITu allows modest expansion of the ESC population and growth of embryoid bodies, but release from the drug after an initial treatment aborts embryoid body or teratoma formation. The data reveal an unusual robustness of ESCs against mitotic perturbants and suggest that the lack of H3T3ph and the "off-target" effects of 5-ITu can be partially compensated by changes in expression program or accumulation of suppressor mutations.

Global phosphoproteomic analysis of mouse spermatocytes identified key kinases regulating meiosis

Project description:Protein phosphorylation, as one of the most important post-translational modifications, exerts crucial roles in regulating meiosis. However, there is a lack of systemic phosphoproteomic and functional analysis of phosphorylation in the meiosis of spermatocytes. To characterize the phosphorylation events in meiosis, we performed large-scale phosphoproteome profiling of purified spermatocytes undergoing meiosis, and identified 20,582 phosphorylation sites in 5,289 phosphoproteins, which were significantly enriched in cell cycle, autophagy, DNA repair, chromosome segregation. Kinase-substrate phosphorylation network analysis followed by in vitro meiosis study showed that CDK9 was a kinase with enriched substrate phosphorylation sites in spermatocytes, and was essential for meiosis progression to metaphase I. We also identified 15 new phosphorylation sites of histones, and 428 epigenetic factors, among which HASPIN was found to be essential for male fertility. Haspin knockout leaded to misalignment of chromosomes, apoptosis of metaphase spermatocytes and decreased number of sperm by deregulation of H3T3ph and Aurora-B kinase-containing chromosomal passenger complex. Our spermatocyte phosphoproteome will be a rich resource for future studies of phosphorylation signaling regulation of meiosis.

Release of Histone H3K4-reading transcription factors from chromosomes in mitosis is independent of adjacent H3 phosphorylation

Project description:Histone modifications influence the recruitment of reader proteins to chromosomes to regulate events including transcription and cell division. The idea of a histone code, where particular combinations of modifications specify unique downstream functions, is widely accepted and can be demonstrated in vitro. For example, on synthetic peptides, phosphorylation of Histone H3 at threonine-3 (H3T3ph) prevents the binding of reader proteins that recognise trimethylation of the adjacent lysine-4 (H3K4me3), including the TAF3 component of TFIID. To study these combinatorial effects in cells, we analyzed the genome-wide distribution of H3T3ph and H3K4me3 during mitosis. We find that H3K4me3 hinders adjacent H3T3ph deposition in cells, and that the PHD domain of TAF3 can bind H3K4me3 in mitotic chromatin despite the presence of H3T3ph. Unlike in vitro, H3K4 readers are displaced from chromosomes in mitosis in Haspin-depleted cells lacking H3T3ph. H3T3ph is therefore unlikely to be responsible for transcriptional downregulation during cell division.

Osmotic stress induces phosphorylation of histone H3 at threonine 3 in pericentromeric regions of Arabidopsis thaliana [expression]

Project description:Histone phosphorylation plays key roles in stress-induced transcriptional reprogramming in metazoans but its function(s) in land plants has remained relatively unexplored. Here we report that an Arabidopsis mutant defective in At3g03940 and At5g18190, encoding closely related Ser/Thr protein kinases, shows pleiotropic phenotypes including dwarfism and hypersensitivity to osmotic/salt stress. The double mutant has reduced global levels of phosphorylated histone H3 threonine 3 (H3T3ph), which are not enhanced, unlike the response in the wild type, by drought-like treatments. Genome-wide analyses revealed increased H3T3ph, slight enhancement in trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), and a modest decrease in histone H3 occupancy in pericentromeric/knob regions of wild type plants under osmotic stress. However, despite these changes in heterochromatin, transposons and repeats remained largely transcriptionally repressed. In contrast, this reorganization of heterochromatin was mostly absent in the double mutant, which even under normal conditions exhibited lower H3T3ph levels in pericentromeric regions, and a few transposons and repeat sequences showed modest transcriptional activation. Interestingly, within actively transcribed protein-coding genes, H3T3ph density was minimal in 5’ genic regions, coincidental with a peak of H3K4me3 accumulation. This pattern was not affected in the double mutant, implying the existence of additional H3T3 protein kinases in Arabidopsis. Our results suggest that At3g03940 and At5g18190 are involved in the phosphorylation of H3T3 in pericentromeric/knob regions and that this repressive epigenetic mark may be important for maintaining proper heterochromatic organization and, possibly, chromosome function(s).
