Acetylation of EED by CBP/P300 Regulates the Targeting of PRC2 and is Required for mESC Differentiation [RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a chromatin-modifying enzyme that catalyzes the methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me1/2/3). This complex maintains the gene expression profiles in different cell types and plays an essential role in normal organismal development. The mechanisms by which PRC2 targets specific chromatin regions remain unclear. To address this question, we focused on the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of PRC2 subunits. Here we show EED, a core component of PRC2, is acetylated by acetyltransferase CBP/P300 at lysine 19 (K19). The acetylation of EED at K19 (EED-K19ac) reduces the binding affinity between PRC2 and native nucleosomes, causing PRC2 to leave its chromatin targets in vivo. Genome-wide location analysis (ChIP-seq) reveals that K19-acetylated EED preferentially accumulates at highly transcribed genes with low EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we generated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) carrying non-acetylated EED mimic (EED-K19R) and showed acetylation of EED at K19 is necessary for mESC differentiation. In summary, our study reveals a novel mechanism that allows intracellular signalling pathways to regulate cellular differentiation and cell fate decisions by controlling the genomic targeting of PRC2 through acetylating EED.
