The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex helps resolve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts

ABSTRACT: ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers are commonly mutated in human cancer. Mammalian SWI/SNF complexes comprise three conserved multi-subunit chromatin remodelers (cBAF, ncBAF and PBAF) that share the BRG1 (also known as SMARCA4) subunit responsible for the main ATPase activity. BRG1 is the most frequently mutated Snf2-like ATPase in cancer. Here we have investigated the role of SWI/SNF in genome instability, a hallmark of cancer cells, given its role in transcription, DNA replication and DNA damage repair. We show that depletion of BRG1 increases R-loops and R-loop-dependent DNA breaks, as well as transcription-replication conflicts. BRG1 colocalizes with R-loops and replication fork blocks, as determined by FANCD2 foci, with BRG1 depletion being epistatic to FANCD2 silencing. Our study, extended to other components of SWI/SNF, uncovers a key role of the SWI/SNF complex, in particular cBAF, in helping resolve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts; thus, unveiling a novel mechanism by which chromatin remodeling protects genome integrity.

Protein-protein interactions of BRG1 or BRG1-HSA in SW13 cells

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex remodels chromatin in an ATP-dependent manner through the ATPase subunits BRG1 and BRM. Chromatin remodeling alters nucleosome structure to change gene expression, however aberrant remodeling and gene expression can result in cancer. The function and localization on chromatin of the SWI/SNF complex depends on the protein makeup of the complex. Here we report the protein-protein interactions of wild-type BRG1 or mutant BRG1 in which the HSA domain has been deleted (BRG1-HSA). We demonstrate the interaction of BRG1 with most SWI/SNF complex members and a failure of a number of these members to interact with BRG1-HSA. These results demonstrate that the HSA domain of BRG1 is a critical interaction platform for the correct formation of SWI/SNF remodeling complexes.

SWI/SNF-dependent genes are defined by their chromatin landscape [MNase-seq]

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex was the first chromatin remodeling machinery discovered. Although it has been extensively investigated, numerous aspects of its regulation and activity are still poorly understood, especially in higher eukaryotes. In mammals, there is not a single SWI/SNF complex (also called BRM or BRG1 associated factors, BAF, complex) but rather a polymorphic family of complexes, with three main subtypes called canonical BAF (cBAF), polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF), with relatively different specificities. The enzymatic motors of the complexes are two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SNF2 family called BRAHMA (BRM, also called SMARCA2) and BRAHMA RELATED GENE 1 (BRG1, also called SMARCA4). Recently, an specific inhibitor of BRM and BRG1 ATPase activity, called BRM014, has been developed. We have extensively investigated the effect of BRM014 on the transcriptome and the chromatin landscape of non-tumoral normal murine mammary (NMuMG) epithelial cells.

Role of SWI/SNF in acute leukemia maintenance and enhancer-mediated Myc regulation [array]

Project description:Cancer cells frequently depend on chromatin regulatory activities to maintain a malignant phenotype. Here, we show that leukemia cells require the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex for their survival and aberrant self-renewal potential. While Brg1, an ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF, is known to suppress tumor formation in several cancer types, we found that leukemia cells instead rely on Brg1 to support their oncogenic transcriptional program, which includes Myc as one of its key targets. To account for this context-specific function, we identify a cluster of lineage-specific enhancers located 1.7 megabases downstream of Myc that are occupied by SWI/SNF, as well as the BET protein Brd4. Brg1 is required at these distal elements to maintain transcription factor occupancy and for long-range chromatin looping interactions with the Myc promoter. Notably, these distal Myc enhancers coincide with a region that is focally amplified in 3% of acute myeloid leukemia. Together, these findings define a leukemia maintenance function for SWI/SNF that is linked to enhancer-mediated gene regulation, providing general insights into how cancer cells exploit transcriptional coactivators to maintain oncogenic gene expression programs In order to understanding the transcription regulation network downstream of Brg1 in murine AML, we performed microarray in murine MLL-AF9/NrasG12D cell line under the condition that Brg1 was suppressed by three independent shRNAs for 96h.
