Zmym2 is essential for methylation of germline genes and active transposons in embryogenesis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: ZMYM2 is a transcriptional repressor whose role in development is largely unexplored. We found that Zmym2-/- mice show embryonic lethality by E10.5. Molecular characterization of Zmym2-/- embryos revealed two distinct defects. First, they fail to undergo DNA methylation and silencing of germline gene promoters, resulting in widespread upregulation of germline genes. Second, they fail to methylate and silence the evolutionarily youngest and most active LINE element subclasses in mice. This results in ubiquitous overexpression of LINE1 protein as well as aberrant expression of transposon-gene fusion transcripts. Interaction and colocalization data indicate that ZMYM2 homes to germline genes via binding to the non-canonical polycomb complex PRC1.6 and to transposons via the TRIM28 complex. ZMYM2-/- human embryonic stem cells also show aberrant upregulation and demethylation of young LINE elements, indicating a conserved role in repression of active transposons. ZMYM2 is thus an important new factor in DNA methylation patterning in early embryogenesis.

Mutation of ZMYM2 SIMs

Project description:The interaction between SUMO and ZMYM2 is mediated through specific motifs found in ZMYM2 that are called SIMs (SUMO interacting motifs). We found/characterised three SIMs in ZMYM2 and in vitro experiments showed that mutation in these residues prevent the interaction with SUMO. Microarray transcription profiling was done to study the effects of disrupting the multiSUMO binding activity of ZMYM2, assessing the differences in gene expression in cells expressing wild-type or SIM2 mutant version of ZMYM2.

DUX-miR-344-ZMYM2-mediated activation of MERVL LTRs induces a totipotent 2C-like state [ZMYM2 ChIP-seq]

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) sporadically express preimplantation two-cell-stage (2C) transcripts, including MERVL endogenous retrovirus and Zscan4 cluster genes. Such 2C-like cells (2CLCs) can contribute to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues when reintroduced into early embryos. We examined global nucleosome occupancy and gene expression in 2CLCs and identified miR-344 as the noncoding molecule that positively controls 2CLC potency. We found that activation of endogenous MERVL or miR-344-2 alone is sufficient to induce 2CLCs with induction of 2C genes and an expanded potency. Mechanistically, miR-344 is activated by the 2C-state driver DUX and post-transcriptionally represses ZMYM2 and LSD1, which recruit the HDAC corepressor to MERVL LTR for transcriptional repression. Consistently, zygotic depletion of Zmym2 compromises the totipotency-to-pluripotency transition during early development. Our studies establish the novel DUX->miR-344--|Zmym2/Lsd1 axis that controls MERVL for expanded stem cell potency.

Project description:Chromatin immuno-precipitation using anti-Flag (Sigma) or control IgG (Millipore) antibodies in a U2OS stable cell line. ZMYM2 has the synonym ZNF198. Note: paired-end sequencing libraires were created in this experiment but only the forward (R1) reads are available in this submission. The 'LIBRARY_LAYOUT' attribute is therefore set to be 'SINGLE' ather than 'PAIRED'.

Systematic identification of factors involved in the silencing of germline genes in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:In mammals, many germline genes are repressed by epigenetic mechanisms to prevent their illegitimate expression in embryonic and somatic cells. To advance our understanding of the complete mechanisms restricting the expression of germline genes in mammals, we analyzed the chromatin signature of germline genes and performed a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out screen for genes involved in germline gene repression using a reporter system in which GFP is under the control of the epigenetically repressed Dazl germline promoter in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We showed that the repression of germline genes mainly depends on the polycomb complex PRC1.6 and DNA methylation, which function additively in mouse ESCs. Furthermore, we identified and validated several novel genes involved in the repression of germline genes, and characterized three of them: Usp7, Shfm1 (also known as Sem1) and Erh. Inactivation of Usp7, Shfm1 or Erh led to the upregulation of germline genes, as well as retrotransposons for Shfm1, in mouse ESCs. Functionally, Usp7 acts at two levels: firstly it associates with PRC1.6 components and represses germline genes independently of DNA methylation, and secondly it facilitates DNA methylation deposition at germline genes for long term repression. In summary, our study provides a global view of the epigenetic mechanisms and novel factors required for silencing germline genes in embryonic cells.
