H3K36 Dimethylation Shapes the Epigenetic Interaction Landscape by Directing Repressive Chromatin Modifications in Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic modifications on the chromatin do not occur in isolation. Chromatin associated proteins and their modification products form a highly interconnected network, and disturbing one component may rearrange the entire system. We see this increasingly clearly in epigenetically dysregulated cancers. It is important to understand the rules governing epigenetic interactions. Here, we use the mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) model to describe in detail the relationships within the H3K27-H3K36-DNA methylation subnetwork. In particular, we focus on the major epigenetic re-organization caused by deletion of the histone 3 lysine 36 methyltransferase NSD1, which in mESCs deposits nearly all of the intergenic H3K36me2. Although disturbing the H3K27 and DNA methylation (DNAme) components also affects this network to a certain extent, the removal of H3K36me2 has the most drastic effect on the epigenetic landscape, resulting in full intergenic spread of H3K27me3 and a substantial decrease in DNAme. By profiling DNMT3A and CHH methylation (mCHH), we show that H3K36me2 loss upon Nsd1-KO leads to a massive re-distribution of DNMT3A and mCHH away from intergenic regions and towards active gene bodies, suggesting that DNAme reduction is at least in part caused by redistribution of de novo methylation. Additionally, we show that pervasive acetylation of H3K27 is regulated by the interplay of H3K36 and H3K27 methylation. Our analysis highlights the importance of H3K36me2 as a major determinant of the developmental epigenome and provides a framework for further consolidating our knowledge of epigenetic networks.

NSD1-deposited H3K36me2 directs de novo methylation in the mouse male germline and counteracts Polycomb-associated silencing

Project description:While de novo DNA methylation (DNAme) in mammalian germ cells is dependent upon DNMT3A and DNMT3L, oocytes and spermatozoa show distinct patterns of DNAme. In mouse oocytes, de novo DNAme requires the lysine methyltransferase (KMTase) SETD2, which deposits H3K36me3. Surprisingly, we show here that SETD2 is dispensable for de novo DNAme in the male germline. Rather, the KMTase NSD1, which broadly deposits H3K36me2 in euchromatic regions, plays a critical role in de novo DNAme in prospermatogonia, including of imprinted genes. However, males deficient in germline NSD1 show a more severe defect in spermatogenesis than Dnmt3l-/- males. Furthermore, unlike DNMT3L, NSD1 safeguards a subset of genes against H3K27me3-associated transcriptional silencing. In contrast, H3K36me2 plays only a minor role in de novo DNAme during oogenesis and females with NSD1 deficient oocytes are fertile. Thus, the sexually dimorphic pattern of DNAme in mature mouse gametes is driven by distinct profiles of H3K36 methylation.

H3K36me2 recruits DNMT3A and shapes intergenic DNA methylation landscapes

Project description:Enzymes catalyzing CpG methylation in DNA, including DNMT1 and DNMT3A/B, are indispensable for mammalian tissue development and homeostasis. They are also implicated in human developmental disorders and cancers, supporting a critical role of DNA methylation during cell fate specification and maintenance. Recent studies suggest that histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) are involved in specifying patterns of DNMT localization and DNA methylation at promoters and actively transcribed gene bodies. However, mechanisms governing the establishment and maintenance of intergenic DNA methylation remain poorly understood. Germline mutations in DNMT3A lead to a childhood overgrowth syndrome that is phenotypically overlapping with Sotos syndrome caused by haploinsufficiency of NSD1, a histone methyltransferase catalyzing di-methylation on H3K36 (H3K36me2), pointing to a potential mechanistic link between the two disorders. Here we report that NSD1-mediated H3K36me2 is required for recruitment of DNMT3A and maintenance of DNA methylation at intergenic regions. Genome-wide analysis shows binding and activity of DNMT3A are co-localized with H3K36me2 at non-coding regions of euchromatin. Genetic ablation of NSD1 and its paralogue NSD2 in mouse and human cells redistributes DNMT3A to H3K36me3-marked gene bodies and reduces intergenic DNA methylation. NSD1 mutant tumors and Sotos patient samples are also associated with intergenic DNA hypomethylation. Consistently, PWWP-domain of DNMT3A shows dual recognition of H3K36me2/3 in vitro with a higher binding affinity towards H3K36me2, which is abrogated by overgrowth syndrome-derived missense mutations. Taken together, our study uncovers a trans-chromatin regulatory pathway that, when perturbed, promotes neoplastic and developmental overgrowth.

Interplay between Nsd1 and PRC2 demarcates regions of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3.

Project description:The core Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of Ezh1/2, Suz12, Eed and is responsible for mediating both H3K27me2 and H3K27me3. However, the mechanisms by which PRC2 demarcates these two repressive modifications in the genome are unknown. In a functional screen, we identified the H3K36 dimethyltransferase Nsd1 as a modulator of PRC2-mediated di- and trimethylation of H3K27. ChIP-Seq analysis following the depletion of Nsd1 revealed a global reduction in H3K36me2 and an increase in H3K27me3 at sites previously marked by H3K27me2. We show that the H3K36me2 at H3K27me2 marks co-occupy regions and provide evidence that the presence of H3K36me2 functions to restrict the spatial distribution of Polycomb mediated H3K27me3 domains.

Coordinated Maintenance of H3K36/K27 Methylation by Histone Demethylases Preserves Germ Cell Identity and Immortality

Project description:Germ cells have evolved unique mechanisms to ensure an everlasting transmission of their genetic and epigenetic information to future generations, whose alteration compromises germ cell immortality. In many instances, epigenetic factors play fundamental roles in these mechanisms. Despite H3K36 and H3K27 methyltransferases shape and propagate over generations a pattern of histone methylation essential for C. elegans germ cell maintenance, the role of respective histone demethylases in this context remains mainly unexplored. Here, we show that jmjd-5 regulates the level of H3K36me2 and H3K27me3, preserves germ cell immortality at high temperature and protects germ cell identity by controlling somatic and germline gene expression. Strikingly, the biological and transcriptional effects of jmjd-5 loss can be hindered by the removal of demethylases for H3K27, indicating that H3K36/K27 demethylases act in a transcriptional framework and promote the accurate balance between H3K36 and H3K27 methylation required for the maintenance of germ cell immortality. Furthermore, we found that in wild-type, but not in jmjd-5 mutant animals, alterations of H3K27 and H3K36 methylation and transcription occur at high temperature, suggesting a role for jmjd-5 in adaptation to environmental changes.

NSD1 deposits Histone H3 lysine 36 dimethylation to pattern non-CG DNA methylation in neurons [WGBS in vitro]

Project description:During postnatal development the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A deposits high levels of nonCG cytosine methylation in neurons. This unique methylation is critical for transcriptional regulation in the mature mammalian brain, and loss of this mark is implicated in DNMT3Aassociated neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The mechanisms determining genomic nonCG methylation profiles are not well defined however, and it is unknown if this pathway is disrupted in additional NDDs. Here we show that genome topology and gene-expression converge to shape Histone H3 lysine 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2) profiles, which in turn recruit DNMT3A and pattern neuronal non-CG methylation. Brain-specific deletion of NSD1, the H3K36 methyltransferase mutated in the NDD Sotos syndrome, disrupts megabase-scale H3K36me2 patterns, causing alterations in non-CG methylation and transcription that overlap models of DNMT3A disorders. Our findings indicate that H3K36me2 deposited by NSD1 is an important determinant of neuronal non-CG DNA methylation and implicates disruption of this methylation in Sotos syndrome.
