Histone modification cross-talk and protein complex diversification confer plasticity to Polycomb repression

ABSTRACT: Polycomb chromatin domains are chromosomal regions decorated with histone H2A monoubiquitination at lysine 119 (H2Aub1) and histone H3 tri-methylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). These domains are dynamically shaped through the actions of different Polycomb group protein complexes to control gene expression during development. To assess how different Polycomb group subcomplexes contribute to these histone-modification profiles in Drosophila embryos, we utilized mutants that abrogate their function. While canonical Polycomb Repressive Complex (PRC) 1 deposits low levels of H2Aub1 solely at Polycomb target genes, variant PRC1 generates the bulk of H2Aub1 genome-wide. In late-stage embryos, PR-DUB-mediated deubiquitination effectuates a uniform low-level H2Aub1 profile across the genome. The combined activities of PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 drive formation and maintenance of most H3K27me3 domains but PRC2.1 is the limiting enzyme for creating such domains at HOX genes. Surprisingly, reduction in the H3K27me3 level and repression defects caused by removing PRC2.1 were largely rescued in animals also lacking PR-DUB, which showed extensive H2Aub1 accumulation at Polycomb targets that promoted compensatory H3K27me3 deposition by PRC2.2. Diversification of Polycomb protein complexes combined with feedback-loop mechanisms involving histone modification cross-talk equip the system with the plasticity, adaptability, and buffering capacity needed to safeguard cell fate decisions during development.

PR-DUB preserves Polycomb repression by preventing excessive accumulation of H2Aub1, an antagonist of nucleosome stacking (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:The Polycomb repression machinery in Drosophila comprises PRC1 that monoubiquitinates histone H2A at lysine 118 (H2Aub1) and PR-DUB, a major H2Aub1 deubiquitinase, but how H2Aub1 levels must be balanced for Polycomb repression remains enigmatic. We show that H2Aub1 is enriched at Polycomb target genes in early embryos but depleted from these genes during developmental stages when PRC1 represses their transcription. Accordingly, Polycomb targets remain repressed in H2Aub1-deficient animals. In PR-DUB catalytic mutants, high-level H2Aub1 accumulation at Polycomb targets increases chromatin accessibility, consistent with disruption of chromatin fiber folding by H2Aub1 in vitro. Consequently, PR-DUB mutants show defective Polycomb repression, while general transcription is largely unperturbed by the genome-wide, low-level H2Aub1 increase. Changes in H2Aub1 levels alter H3K27 methylation-kinetics but PRC2 nevertheless generates canonical H3K27me3 domains in PRC1 or PR-DUB catalytic mutants. PR-DUB therefore acts as a rheostat that removes excessive H2Aub1 that, though deposited by PRC1, antagonizes PRC1-mediated chromatin compaction.

PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 synergize to co-ordinate H3K27 tri-methylation.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of EED, SUZ12, and EZH1/2 and mediates mono-, di- and tri-methylation of Histone H3 at Lysine 27. While at least two subcomplexes exist, defined by their specific accessory proteins, termed PRC2.1 (Polycomb-like proteins 1-3, EPOP and PALI1/2) and PRC2.2 (AEBP2 and JARID2), little is known about their differential functions. Here, we show that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 share the majority of target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The loss of all three Polycomb-like proteins is sufficient to destabilise and evict PRC2.1 from chromatin, but also leads to reduced PRC2.2 and H3K27me3 at most Polycomb domains. However, the combined loss of PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 is necessary to completely remove H3K27me3 at broad Polycomb domains such as the Hox loci. Our data support a model in which the specific accessory proteins within PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 co-operate to direct and maintain H3K27me3, via both synergistic and independent mechanisms.

Variant PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 co-operate to direct H3K27 methylations in ESCs [RNA-seq]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of EED, SUZ12, and EZH1/2, and mediates mono-, di- and tri-methylation of Histone H3 at Lysine 27. While, two subcomplexes defined by their specific accessory proteins, termed PRC2.1 (Polycomb-like proteins 1-3, EPOP and PALI1/2) and PRC2.2 (AEBP2 and JARID2) exist, little is known about their differential functions. Here, we show that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 share the majority of their target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). While loss of all three Polycomb-like proteins (PHF1, MTF2, PHF19) leads to eviction of EPOP and PALI1 from chromatin, PRC2.2 specific components are maintained together with SUZ12 and H3K27me3 at broad Polycomb domains. We show that PRC2.2 localises to PRC1 mediated H2AK119ub1 at these broad Polycomb domains to maintain H3K27me3, even in the absence of PRC2.1. Taken together, these data establish that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 co-operate to direct H3K27me3, but have independent recruitment mechanisms.

Two distinct functional axes of positive feedback-enforced PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an essential role in development by catalysing trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), resulting in gene repression. PRC2 consists of two sub-complexes, PRC2.1 and PRC2.2, in which the PRC2 core associates with distinct ancillary subunits such as MTF2 and JARID2, respectively. Both MTF2, present in PRC2.1, and JARID2, present in PRC2.2, play a role in core PRC2 recruitment to target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, it remains unclear how these distinct sub-complexes cooperate to establish H3K27me3 domains. Here, we combine a range of Polycomb mutant mESCs with chemical inhibition of PRC2 catalytic activity, to systematically dissect their relative contributions to PRC2 binding to target loci. We find that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 mediate two distinct paths for recruitment, with mutually reinforced binding. Part of the cross-talk between PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 occurs via their catalytic product H3K27me3, which is bound by the PRC2 core-subunit EED, thereby mediating a positive feedback. Strikingly, removal of either JARID2 or H3K27me3 only has a minor effect on PRC2 recruitment, whereas their combined ablation largely attenuates PRC2 recruitment. This strongly suggests an unexpected redundancy between JARID2 and EED-H3K27me3-mediated recruitment of PRC2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that all core PRC2 recruitment occurs through the combined action of MTF2-mediated recruitment of PRC2.1 to DNA and PRC1-mediated recruitment of JARID2-containing PRC2.2. Both axes of binding are supported by EED-H3K27me3 positive feedback, but to a different degree. Finally, we provide evidence that PRC1 and PRC2 mutually reinforce reciprocal binding. Together, these data disentangle the interdependent and cooperative interactions between Polycomb complexes that are important to establish Polycomb repression at target sites.

Two distinct functional axes of positive feedback-enforced PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an essential role in gene repression during development, catalysing H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). MTF2 in the PRC2.1 sub-complex, and JARID2 in PRC2.2, are central in core PRC2 recruitment to target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). To investigate how PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 cooperate, we combined Polycomb mutant mESCs with chemical inhibition of binding to H3K27me3. We find that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 mediate two distinct paths for recruitment, which are mutually reinforced. Whereas PRC2.1 recruitment is mediated by MTF2 binding to DNA, JARID2-containing PRC2.2 recruitment is more dependent on PRC1. Both recruitment axes are supported by core subunit EED binding to H3K27me3, but EED inhibition exhibits a more pronounced effect in Jarid2 null cells. Finally, we show that PRC1 and PRC2 enhance reciprocal binding. Together, these data disentangle the interdependent interactions that are important for PRC2 recruitment.

PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 Specific Accessory Proteins Drive Recruitment of Different Forms of Canonical PRC1

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates H3K27me3 deposition, which is thought to recruit canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) via chromodomain-containing CBX proteins to promote stable repression of developmental genes. PRC2 forms two major subcomplexes, PRC2.1 and PRC2.2, but their specific roles remain unclear. Through genetic knockout and replacement of PRC2 subcomplex-specific subunits in naïve and primed pluripotent cells, we uncover distinct roles for PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 in mediating the recruitment of different forms of cPRC1. PRC2.1 catalyses the majority of H3K27me3 at Polycomb target genes and is sufficient to promote recruitment of CBX2/4-cPRC1, but not CBX7-cPRC1. Conversely, while PRC2.2 is poor at catalysing H3K27me3, we find that its accessory protein JARID2 is essential for recruitment of CBX7-cPRC1 and the consequent 3D chromatin interactions at Polycomb target genes. We therefore define distinct contributions of PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 specific accessory proteins to Polycomb mediated repression and uncover a new mechanism for cPRC1 recruitment.
