Variant Polycomb complexes in Drosophila consistent with ancient functional diversity

ABSTRACT: Polycomb group (PcG) mutants were first identified in Drosophila based on their failure to maintain proper Hox gene repression during development. The proteins encoded by the corresponding fly genes mainly assemble into one of two discrete Polycomb Repressive Complexes: PRC1 or PRC2. However, biochemical analyses in mammals have revealed alternative forms of PRC2, and multiple distinct types of non-canonical or variant PRC1. Through a series of proteomic analyses, we identify analogous PRC2 and variant PRC1 complexes in Drosophila, as well as a broader repertoire of interactions implicated in early development. Our data provide strong support for the ancient diversity of PcG complexes, and a framework for future analysis in a longstanding and versatile genetic system.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of mouse polycomb group (PcG) proteins in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are highly conserved from flies to mammals and many of these factors have essential roles in early embryonic development. PcG proteins comprise two multimeric complexes, the Polycomb Repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2), which have been shown to repress transcription through epigenetic modification of chromatin structure. To gain insight into the role of Polycomb in early development, we have identified PRC1 and PRC2 target genes in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells using genome-scale location analysis. We found that PRC2 occupies many genes that encode key regulators of development including those encoding transcription factors and components of signaling pathways. These genes are repressed and contain nucleosomes methylated at lysine 27 on histone H3. The majority of PRC2 bound and methylated target genes are co-occupied by PRC1 indicating that these complexes function at a similar set of genes in ES cells. Lack of PRC1 or PRC2 subunits in ES cells results in derepression of target genes and loss of pluripotency. These results provide insight into how PcG proteins contribute to the maintenance of stem cell identity.

The dynamic interactome of Polycomb family complexes during stem cell differentiation

Project description:While the core subunits of Polycomb group (PcG) complexes are well characterized, little is known about the dynamics of these protein complexes during cellular differentiation. We used quantitative interaction proteomics to study PcG proteins in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). We found the stoichiometry of PRC1 and PRC2 to be highly dynamic during neural differentiation.

A Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 proteome from Drosophila cells

Project description:Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins regulate gene expression through changes to chromatin structure and are essential for development. PcG proteins function together with the Trithorax Group (TrxG) proteins, which affect diverse steps in transcription activation. The PcG and TrxG are genetically and functionally antagonistic, and current understanding suggests a balance of their activities can maintain a wide range of transcription states. PcG and TrxG proteins assemble into a series of complexes. How these complexes work together, how PcG complexes are recruited to target genes, and whether other proteins are involved in their regulation of gene expression remain open questions. We carried out tandem affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) on two core components of Drosophila Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). Our data reveal a network of interactions among PcG complexes, and extensive co-purification of TrxG complexes with PRC1. We co-purified >50 transcription factors with PRC1 that were not previously linked to the PcG. Finally, we identify novel co-purifying complexes, including HP1c and PCNA handling complexes. Our resource of candidate PRC1 interacting proteins generate new hypotheses for PRC1 function.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic stem cells FROM Eed knockout vs control

Project description:The Polycomb group (PcG) gene products mediate heritable silencing of developmental regulators in metazoans, participating in one of two distinct multimeric protein complexes, the Polycomb repressive complexes-1 (PRC1) and -2 (PRC2). PRC2 catalyses trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) which in turn is thought to provide a recruitment site for PRC1. Recent studies demonstrate that mono-ubiquitylation of histone H2A at lysine 119 is important in PcG mediated silencing with the core PRC1 component Ring1A/B functioning as the E3 ligase8. PRC2 has been shown to share target genes with the core transcription network to maintain embryonic stem (ES) cells including Oct4 and Nanog. Here we identify an essential role for PRC1 in repressing developmental regulators in ES cells, and thereby in maintaining ES cell pluripotency. A significant proportion of the PRC1 target genes are also repressed by Oct4. We demonstrate that engagement of PRC1 and PRC2 at target genes is Oct4-dependent and moreover that Ring1B interacts with Oct4. Collectively these results show that PcG complexes are instrumental in Oct4-dependent repression required to maintain pluripotency of ES cells. This study provides a first functional link between a core ES cell regulator and global epigenetic regulation of the genome. Experiment Overall Design: Eed is a protein included in PRC2 (Polycomb repressor complex). Experiment Overall Design: We generated constitutive Eed KO mouse ES cells and observed gene expression using Affymetrix MOE430.2 microarray. Experiment Overall Design: These results were compared with other KO cells of PRC1 proteins (Ring1A, Ring1B) and other proteins in our study.

Variant PCGF1-PRC1 links PRC2 recruitment with induced transcriptional inactivation at target genes [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes-1 and -2 (PRC1 and 2), silence developmental genes in spatiotemporally regulated manner during metazoan embryogenesis. How PcG proteins contribute to down-regulation of target genes upon differentiation, however, remains elusive. Here, by differentiating embryonic stem cells into embryoid bodies, we reveal a crucial role of a PCGF1 (Polycomb group RING finger protein 1)-containing variant PRC1 complex (PCGF1-PRC1) to facilitate induced down-regulation of a group of genes. Binding of PCGF1-PRC1 results in down-regulation of transcriptional activity, followed by Histone H2AK119 mono-ubiquitination (H2AK119ub1) and subsequent recruitment of PRC2, to initiate PcG-repressive domain formation. Based on these findings, we propose that PCGF1-PRC1 mediates establishment of PcG-repressive domains at target genes during differentiation.

Deletion of RING1A/B and loss of H2AK119ub1 affects PRC2 occupancy and H3K27me3 genome-wide

Project description:The chromatin modifying activities inherent to polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play an essential role in gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and development. However, the mechanisms by which these complexes recognize their target sites and function together to form repressive chromatin domains remain poorly understood. Recruitment of PRC1 to target sites has been proposed to occur through a hierarchical process, dependent on the prior nucleation of PRC2 and placement of H3K27me3. Here, using a de novo targeting assay in mouse embryonic stem cells we unexpectedly discover that PRC1-dependent H2AK119ub1 leads to the recruitment of PRC2 and H3K27me3 to effectively initiate a polycomb domain. Genetic ablation of catalytic subunit of the PRC1 complex (RINGA/B) and ChIP-seq analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 components confirmed genome-wide decreases in PRC2 occupancy and H3K27me3 levels at PRC target sites. This activity is restricted to variant PRC1 complexes and genetic ablation experiments reveal that targeting of the variant PCGF1/PRC1 complex by KDM2B to CpG islands is required for polycomb domain formation and normal development. Together these observations provide a surprising new PRC1-dependent logic for PRC2 occupancy and polycomb domain formation. RING1A-/-;RING1Bfl/fl ES cells were treated with 800M-BM-5M tamoxifen for 48hours and compared to untreated control cells by ChIP-seq for RING1B, SUZ12, EZH2 and H3K27me3.

Expression data from wild type, Ring1B-/-, Eed-/-, and Ring1B/Eed double deficient mouse ES cells

Project description:Polycomb complexes establish chromatin modifications for maintaining gene repression and are essential for embryonic development in mice. Here we use pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells to demonstrate an unexpected redundancy between Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2 during the formation of differentiated cells. ES cells lacking the function of either PRC1 or PRC2 can differentiate into cells of the three germ layers, whereas simultaneous loss of PRC1 and PRC2 abrogates differentiation. On the molecular level the differentiation defect is caused by the derepression of a set of genes that is redundantly repressed by PRC1 and PRC2 in ES cells. Furthermore, we find that genomic repeats are Polycomb targets and show that in the absence of Polycomb complexes endogenous MLV elements can mobilize. This indicates a contribution of the PcG system to the defense against parasitic DNA and a potential role of genomic repeats in Polycomb mediated gene regulation. RNA from wt and PcG mutant ES cells was extracted using Trizol and hybridized to an Affymetrix Mouse 430_2.0 chip. Labeling, hybridization and primary data analysis were performed by a commercial provider (Atlas Biolabs, Berlin). Before RNA extraction, the undifferentiated ES cell state was confirmed by colony morphology. All genotypes were hybridized in biological triplicates.
