Project description:TET2 directly interacts with OGT, which is important for the chromatin association of OGT in vivo. Although this specific interaction does not regulate the enzymatic activity of TET2, it facilitates OGT-dependent histone O-GlcNAcylation. Moreover, OGT associates with TET2 at transcription starting sites (TSS). Down-regulation of TET2 reduces the amount of H2B S112 GlcNAc marks in vivo, which are associated with gene transcription regulation. We found that OGT interacts with TET2 tightly. Using ChIP-seq with specific antibodies, we tested the co-localization of TET2 and OGT in genome level.

Project description:TET proteins convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, an emerging dynamic epigenetic state of DNA that can influence transcription. Evidence has linked TET1 function to epigenetic repression complexes, yet mechanistic information, especially for the TET2 and TET3 proteins, remains limited. Here, we show a direct interaction of TET2 and TET3 with O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT does not appear to influence hmC activity, rather TET2 and TET3 promote OGT activity. TET2/3-OGT co-localize on chromatin at active promoters enriched for H3K4me3 and reduction of either TET2/3 or OGT activity results in a direct decrease in H3K4me3 and concomitant decreased transcription. Further, we show that Host Cell Factor 1 (HCF1), a component of the H3K4 methyltransferase SET1/COMPASS complex, is a specific GlcNAcylation target of TET2/3-OGT, and modification of HCF1 is important for the integrity of SET1/COMPASS. Additionally, we find both TET proteins and OGT activity promote binding of the SET1/COMPASS H3K4 methyltransferase, SETD1A, to chromatin. Finally, studies in Tet2 knockout mouse bone marrow tissue extend and support the data as decreases are observed of global GlcNAcylation and also of H3K4me3, notably at several key regulators of haematopoiesis. Together, our results unveil a step-wise model, involving TET-OGT interactions, promotion of GlcNAcylation, and influence on H3K4me3 via SET1/COMPASS, highlighting a novel means by which TETs may induce transcriptional activation. ChIP-Seq experiments were performed on Illumina HiScanSQ sequencer in wild-type HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc and HCF1, for HT-TET2, HT-TET3 and HT-OGT in HEK293T cells overexpressing those three fusion proteins and in TET2 Kd HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks. ChIP-Seqs were also performed in mouse bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc, endogenous Tet2 and in Tet2 Ko bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks.

Project description:OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) is the distinctive enzyme responsible for catalyzing O-GlcNAc to the serine or threonine residues of thousands of cytoplasm and nuclear proteins that are involved in DNA damage, RNA splicing, and transcription preinitiation and initiation complex assembly. However, the molecular mechanism by OGT regulating gene transcription remains elusive. Using proximity labeling based mass spectrometry, we searched for functional partners of OGT and found that Dot1L, the conserved and unique histone methyltransferase mediated histone H3 lys79 methylation required for gene transcription, DNA damage repair, cell proliferation, and embryo development, interacts with OGT. Although this specific interaction does not regulate the enzymatic activity of Dot1L, it facilitates OGT-dependent histones O-GlcNAcylation. Moreover, OGT associates with Dot1L at transcription start sites, and depleting Dot1L decreased OGT associated with chromatin globally. Notably, downregulation of Dot1L reduces the levels of histone H2B S112 O-GlcNAcylation and histone H2B K120 ubiquitination in vivo, which are associated with gene transcription regulation. Taken together, these results reveal a Dot1L-dependent O-GlcNAcylation of chromatin.

Project description:The reversible and dynamic O-GlcNAcylation regulates vast networks of highly coordinated cellular and nuclear processes. Despite the dysregulation of the sole enzyme O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), is showed to associated with the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the mechanisms by which OGT controls the cis-regulatory elements in the genome and achieves transcriptional functions remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the elevated OGT increases HCC proliferation and metastasis by orchestrating the transcription of numerous malignant regulators in vitro and in vivo. Diverse transcriptional regulators are recruited by OGT in HCC cells with progressive malignancy, which shapes the genome-wide OGT chromatin cis-elements occupation. Further, an unrecognized cooperation between ZNF263 and OGT is crucial for activating downstream transcriptomics. We reveal that the O-GlcNAcylation site Ser662 is responsible for ZNF263 chromatin association at candidate gene promoters and OGT facilitated HCC the malignant phenotypes. Our data establish the importance of aberrant OGT and ZNF263 O-GlcNAcylation in HCC malignant progression, and represents the pursuit of OGT as a target for HCC therapy.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) plays a central role in the development of prostate cancer. Increased expression of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcylation are also implicated in metastatic prostate cancer. Increased O-GlcNAcylation in prostate cancer cells is associated with poor prognosis in patients. In this study, we employed chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify AR and O-GlcNAc binding sites in an attempt to identify novel co-regulatory mechanisms, biomarkers/druggable targets.

Project description:Our recent work has shown that VprBP is overexpressed in colon cancer and phosphorylates histone H2AT120 to drive epigenetic gene inactivation and oncogenic transformation. We have extended these observations by investigating whether VprBP also phosphorylates non-histone proteins as an additional mechanism linking its kinase activity to colon cancer development. We now demonstrate that VprBP directly phosphorylates EZH2 at T367 to augment its nuclear stabilization and enzymatic activity in colon cancer cells. Consistent with this mechanistic role, VprBP-mediated EZH2 phosphorylation leads to elevated levels of H3K27me3 and altered expression of growth regulatory genes in cancer cells. Furthermore, our preclinical studies using organoid and xenograft models revealed that EZH2 requires phosphorylation for its oncogenic function, which may have therapeutic implications for gene reactivation in colon cancer cells. Together, our data define a new mechanism underlying VprBP-driven colonic tumorigenesis by linking VprBP-mediated EZH2 phosphorylation to EZH2 stability that is crucial for establishing H3K27me3 and gene silencing program.

Project description:VprBP has been implicated in transcriptionally silent chromatin formation and cell cycle regulation, but the molecular basis underlying such effects remains unclear. To investigate the role of VprBP on gene regulation, genme-wide gene expression analysis is carried out in DU145 cells expressing either control shRNA or VprBP shRNA. Total RNA was isolated from mock- or VprBP-depleted DU145 cells
