Project description:Heterochromatin is required to restrict aberrant expression of retrotransposons, but it remains poorly defined due to the underlying repeat-rich sequences. We dissected Suv39h-dependent histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) by genome-wide ChIP-sequencing in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Refined bioinformatic analyses of repeat subfamilies indicated selective accumulation of Suv39h-dependent H3K9me3 at interspersed repetitive elements that cover ~ 5% of the ESC epigenome. The majority of the ~ 8,150 intact long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), but only a minor fraction of the > 1.8 million degenerate and truncated LINEs/ERVs, are enriched for Suv39h-dependent H3K9me3. Transcriptional repression of these intact LINEs and ERVs is differentially regulated by Suv39h and other chromatin modifiers in ESCs but governed by DNA methylation in committed cells. These data provide a novel function for Suv39h-dependent H3K9me3 chromatin to specifically repress intact retrotransposon elements in the ESC epigenome. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq in mouse ES cells, Neural precursors and MEFs wild type and Suv39h double KO. The input for ES cells is accessioned as GSM1251941. A link to this sample can be found below.

Project description:H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin is critical for the silencing of repeat-rich pericentromeric regions and also has key roles in repressing lineage-inappropriate protein-coding genes for healthy cellular function. Within all eukaryotic nuclei, heterochromatin and euchromatin are spatially segregated, with euchromatin typically located in the nuclear interior and heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery. We investigated the effects of loss of H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin in primary immune cells deficient in both Suv39h1 and Suv39h2 (Suv39DKO), the major mammalian histone methyltransferase enzymes which catalyse heterochromatic H3K9me3 deposition.

Within all eukaryotic nuclei, heterochromatin and euchromatin are spatially segregated, with euchromatin typically located in the nuclear interior and heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery.

Project description:Histone modifications are central to the regulation of all DNA-dependent processes but the repertoire of known modifications is far from complete. Lysine 64 of Histone H3 (H3K64) lies within the globular domain of H3 at a structurally important position within the nucleosome. We identify tri-methylation of H3K64 (H3K64me3) as a modification enriched in pericentric heterochromatin and associated with repeated sequences and transcriptionally inactive genomic regions. Interestingly, the pericentric enrichment of H3K64me3 depends on the Suv39h methyltransferases. Further, we show that this newly identified mark is dynamically regulated during the two major epigenetic reprogramming events in mammals. In primordial germ cells (PGCs) H3K64me3 is present at the time of specification, but disappears transiently during germline reprogramming. In the early mouse embryo it is inherited exclusively through the maternal germline and specifically enriched in heterochromatic regions of the maternal pronucleus. Subsequently the modification is rapidly removed from the maternal chromatin suggesting an important role for H3K64me3 turnover in development. Taken together, our findings firmly establish H3K64me3 as a novel histone modification mark of repressive chromatin, which displays crosstalk to the Suv39 pathway and is dynamically reprogrammed during development. We hypothesize that methylation of this lysine helps to 'secure' the nucleosome and perhaps the surrounding heterochromatin, in an appropriately repressed state during development. Keywords: ChIP-chip, embryonic stem cells, H3K64me3, H3K9me3, heterochromatin ChIP-chip experiments were performed with four independent biological replicates for H3K64me3 and two independent replicates for H3K9me3. For each condition hybridizations include a dye-swap experiment.

Project description:H3K9me3-heterochromatin, compacted by HP1 proteins, restricts transcription factor binding and functions as a barrier to cell fate changes in development and reprogramming1,2. To investigate principles underlying H3K9me3-heterochromatin maintenance in mammalian cells, we applied degron engineering3,4 on mouse ESCs to conditionally deplete all three H3K9me3-methyltransferases within one hour and found an unexpectedly dynamic nature of heterochromatin maintenance. Following H3K9me3 methyltransferases degradation, HP1β dissociates from heterochromatin within three hours, and transcription factors quickly access the de-compacted heterochromatin, activating transcription of their targets, which then promotes H3K9me3 decay. Both passive dilution and active removal contribute to the H3K9me3 decay. Mathematical modeling reveals distinct H3K9me3 heterochromatin states with diverse chromatin features which influence initial H3K9me3 levels and the stability of H3K9me3 domains, thereby expanding our understanding of distinct heterochromatin domains. Rampant transposable element de-repression interferes with transcription of poised early developmental and signaling genes outside H3K9me3-domains, highlighting the intricate roles of dynamic H3K9me3-heterochromatin maintenance in safeguarding developmental programs. Our findings deconvolve the hierarchical relationships between H3K9me3 marks, methyltransferases, HP1 and transcription factors to reveal principles of H3K9me3-heterochromatin maintenance and how its remodeling enables transcription and cell fate change.
