Clustered PHD domains in KMT2/MLL proteins are attracted by H3K4me3 and H3 acetylation-rich active promoters and enhancers

ABSTRACT: Histone lysine-specfic methyltransferase 2 (KMT2A-D) proteins, alternatively called mixed lineage leukaemia (MLL1-4) proteins, mediate positive transcriptional memory. As the catalytic subunits of human COMPASS-like complexes, they methylate H3K4 at promoters and enhancers. KMT2A-D contain understudied highly conserved triplets and a quartet of plant homeodomains (PHDs). Here, we show that all clustered PHDs localise to the well-defined loci of H3K4me3 and H3 acetylation-rich active promoters and enhancers. Surprisingly, we observe little difference in binding pattern between PHDs from promoter-specific KMT2A-B and enhancer-specific KMT2C-D. Fusion of the KMT2A CXXC domain to the PHDs drastically enhances their preference for promoters over enhancers. Hence, the presence of CXXC domains in KMT2A-B, but not KMT2C-D, may explain the promoter/enhancer preferences of the full-length proteins. Importantly, targets of PHDs overlap with KMT2A targets and are enriched in genes involved in the cancer pathways. We also observe that PHDs of KMT2A-D are mutated in cancer, especially within conserved folding motifs (Cys4HisCys2Cys/His), which cause a domain loss-of-function. Taken together, our data suggests that PHDs of KMT2A-D guide the full-length proteins to active promoters and enhancers, and thus play a role in positive transcriptional memory.

KMT2C methyltransferase domain regulated INK4A expression suppresses prostate cancer metastasis

Project description:Frequent truncating mutations of the histone lysine N‑methyltransferase KMT2C have been detected by whole exome sequencing studies in various cancers, including malignancies of the prostate. However, the biological consequences of these alterations in prostate cancer have not yet been elucidated. To investigate the functional impact of these mutations we deleted the C-terminal catalytic core motif of KMT2C specifically in the prostate epithelium of mice. We show here that impaired KMT2C methyltransferase activity drives proliferation and, when combined with loss of the tumour suppressor PTEN, triggers metastatic dissemination and reduces life expectancy. In our model system and human prostate cancer samples we show that KMT2C-mutated tumours activate the proliferative MYC signalling axis and fail to express the oncogene-induced cell cycle repressor p16INK4A. In addition, we observe a striking reduction in disease-free survival of patients with KMT2C-mutated prostate cancer. Thus, we identify truncated KMT2C as a driver of aggressive prostate cancer.

Genome-wide mapping of Tet3FL in neural progeniter cells

Project description:We report that the 5-methylcytosine oxidase Tet3 exists as three isoforms and characterized the full-length isoform containing an N-terminal CXXC domain (Tet3FL). Presence of the CXXC domain reduces Tet3’s enzymatic activity. This CXXC domain binds not only to unmethylated CpGs but its highest affinity is towards 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). We determined the structure of the CXXC domain - 5caC-DNA complex and showed that disruption of the CXXC-5caC interaction leads to enhanced Tet3 activity. Mapping of genomic binding sites of Tet3FL in neuronal cells shows that Tet3FL is targeted to transcription start sites of genes involved in lysosome function, mRNA processing and key genes of the base excision repair pathway. Our data suggest that the CXXC domain of Tet3FL restricts the protein to a set of unmethylated or 5caC-containing CpG islands and that Tet3FL functions both as a reader of 5caC and as a regulator of 5caC removal by base excision repair.

Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screen of Wnt/β-catenin signalling identifies therapeutic targets for Colorectal Cancer (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Using genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screening, our study revealed KMT2A as a critical regulator of β-catenin-driven CRC progression. To determine the role of KMT2A in β-catenin-mediated transcription, control and KMT2A-ablated DLD1 and SW480 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells were subjected to CHIP-seq analysis using anti-β-catenin and anti-H3K4me3 antibodies. Data obtained from the CHIP-seq experiments indicated a key role of KMT2A in β-catenin binding on active promoters.

FBXL19 transcriptionally primes promoters of developmental genes via CDK8-Mediator recruitment [RNA-seq]

Project description:Regulatory elements called CpG islands (CGIs) are associated with the majority of mammalian gene promoters and have been proposed to play an important role in gene expression. The regulatory capacity of CGIs is thought to rely upon a family of proteins that recognise CGIs through their ZF-CxxC DNA binding domains to recruit chromatin-modifying activities to gene promoters. Through studying FBXL19, a poorly characterized ZF-CxxC domain-containing protein, we have discovered that it specifically interacts with the CDK8-Mediator complex in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Intriguingly, FBXl19 recruits CDK8-Mediator to a subset of CGI-associated promoters of repressed developmental genes in ESCs. We show that FBXL19-dependent recruitment of CDK8 in ESCs is required for the proper induction of the associated genes during ESC differentiation. This is consistent with early embryonic lethality of in FBXl19 deficient mice. Together, our observations highlight a novel role for FBXL19 in priming developmental gene expression, via recruitment of CDK8 to their CGI promoters, in order to support normal gene induction during differentiation and development.

Mll3 and Mll4 facilitate enhancer RNA synthesis and transcriptional elongation from promoters independently of H3K4 monomethylation

Project description:Monomethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me1) and acetylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27ac) are correlated with transcriptionally engaged enhancer elements, but the functional impact of these modifications on enhancer activity is not well understood. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to separate catalytic activity-dependent and independent functions of Mll3 (Kmt2c) and Mll4 (Kmt2d, Mll2), the major enhancer H3K4 monomethyltransferases. Loss of Mll3/4 catalytic activity and H3K4me1 from enhancers causes partial depletion of H3K27ac, but surprisingly minor effects on enhancer Pol II binding, enhancer RNA (eRNA) transcription and gene expression. In contrast, loss of Mll3/4 proteins results in dramatic reduction of eRNA production, concomitant with impaired transcriptional elongation at adjacent promoters. Altogether our results suggest the major coactivator function of Mll3/4 is largely independent of H3K4me1 and instead linked to enhancer Pol II occupancy, eRNA transcription and long-range influence on elongation at target promoters.

Chromatin States in Human ES Cells Reveal Key Regulatory Sequences and Genes Involved in Pluripotency and Self-renewal

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are offering a new therapeutic approach because of their unique ability to proliferate indefinitely in vitro and differentiate into multiple cell types. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of pluripotency and self-renewal remain incomplete. To elucidate the key regulatory sequences and genes responsible for these cellular properties, we have determined potential enhancers and insulators in the genome of human ES cells and examined the dynamics of four key chromatin modifications (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K27me3) at both promoters and enhancers during the differentiation of these cells. We observe that most enhancers gain or lose H3K4me1 and H3K27ac during differentiation in a manner that correlates with expression of their potential target genes. By contrast, chromatin modifications at promoters remain stable and largely invariant during hESC differentiation, with the exception of a small number of promoters where a dynamic switch between acetylation and methylation at H3K27 marks the transition between activation and silencing of gene expression. Our results reveal more than 50,000 potential enhancers for early human development, and identify key genes that are involved in differentiation and maintenance of pluripotency in human ES cells. ChIP-Seq Analysis of SOX2 and NANOG in hESC H1 cells. 36 cycles of sequencing was done on the Illumina Genome Analyzer II platform.

Physical and functional interaction between SET1/COMPASS complex component CFP-1 and a Sin3S HDAC complex in C. elegans

Project description:The CFP1 CXXC zinc finger protein targets the SET1/COMPASS complex to nonmethylated CpG rich promoters to implement tri-methylation of histone H3 Lys4 (H3K4me3). Although H3K4me3 is widely associated with gene expression, the effects of CFP1 loss vary, suggesting additional chromatin factors contribute to context dependent effects. Using a proteomics approach, we identified CFP1 associated proteins and an unexpected direct link between C. elegans CFP-1 and an Rpd3/Sin3 small (SIN3S) histone deacetylase complex.

Automated CUT&Tag profiling of chromatin heterogeneity in mixed-lineage leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemias often harbor chromosomal translocations involving the Mixed Lineage Leukemia-1 gene, which encodes the KMT2A lysine methyltransferase. The most common translocations produce in-frame fusions of KMT2A to trans-activation domains of chromatin regulatory proteins. Here we develop a strategy to map the genome-wide occupancy of oncogenic KMT2A fusion proteins in primary patient samples regardless of fusion partner. By modifying the versatile CUT&Tag method for full automation we identify common and tumor-specific patterns of aberrant chromatin regulation induced by different KMT2A fusion proteins. Integration of automated and single-cell CUT&Tag uncovers lineage heterogeneity within patient samples and provides an attractive avenue for future diagnostics.
