Distinct disease mutations in DNMT3A result in a spectrum of behavioral, epigenetic, and transcriptional disruptions

ABSTRACT: Phenotypic heterogeneity in monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders can arise from differential severity of variants underlying disease, but how distinct alleles drive variable disease presentation is not well understood. Here, we investigate missense mutations in DNMT3A, a DNA methyltransferase associated with overgrowth, intellectual disability, and autism, to uncover molecular correlates of phenotypic heterogeneity. We generate a DNMT3A P900L/+ mouse mimicking a mutation with mild-to-moderate severity, and compare phenotypic and epigenomic effects with a severe R878H mutation. P900L mutants exhibit core growth and behavioral phenotypes shared across models but show subtle epigenomic changes, while R878H mutants display extensive disruptions. We identify mutation-specific dysregulated genes which may contribute to variable disease severity. Shared transcriptomic disruption identified across mutations overlaps dysregulation observed in other developmental disorder models and likely drives common phenotypes. Together, our findings define central drivers of DNMT3A disorders and illustrate how variable epigenomic disruption contributes to phenotypic heterogeneity in neurodevelopmental disease.

DNMT3A haploinsufficiency results in behavioral deficits and global epigenomic dysregulation shared across neurodevelopment disorders [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Mutations in DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) have been detected in autism and related disorders, but how these mutations disrupt nervous system function is unknown. Here we define the effects of neurodevelopmental disease-associated DNMT3A mutations. We show that diverse mutations affect different aspects of protein activity yet lead to shared deficiencies in neuronal DNA methylation. Heterozygous DNMT3A knockout mice mimicking DNMT3A disruption in disease display growth and behavioral alterations consistent with human phenotypes. Strikingly, in these mice we detect global disruption of neuron-enriched non-CG DNA methylation, a binding site for the Rett syndrome protein MeCP2. Loss of this methylation leads to enhancer and gene dysregulation that overlaps with models of Rett syndrome and autism. These findings define effects of DNMT3A haploinsufficiency in the brain and uncover disruption of the non-CG methylation pathway as a convergence point across neurodevelopmental disorders.

Gene expression variation increase in trisomy 21 tissues

Project description:Congenital development disorders with variable severity occur in trisomy 21. However, how these phenotypic abnormalities develop with variations remains elusive. We hypothesize that the difference in euploidy gene expression variation among trisomy 21 tissues are perturbed by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 and this may contribute to the phenotypic variations in Down syndrome.

Structure-guided functional suppression of AML-associated DNMT3A R882 mutations [methylation]

Project description:DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A- and DNMT3B-mediated de novo DNA methylation critically regulates epigenomic and transcriptomic patterning during development. The hotspot DNMT3A mutations at the site of Arg822 (R882) promote macro-oligomer formation, leading to aberrant DNA methylation that in turn contributes to pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the molecular basis underlying the hotspot mutation-induced functional mis-regulation of DNMT3A remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of DNMT3A methyltransferase (MTase) domain, revealing a molecular basis for its DNMT3B-distinct oligomerization behavior. Introducing DNMT3B-converting mutations to DNMT3A R882 mutants also led to structure determination of R882H- and R882C-mutated DNMT3A, which show enhanced intermolecular contacts than wild-type DNMT3A. Consistently, our in vitro and genomic DNA methylation analyses reveal that the DNMT3B-converting mutations eliminate the gain-of-function effect of the DNMT3A R882 mutations in cells. Together, this study provides mechanistic insights into DNMT3A R882 mutation-triggered aberrant oligomerization and DNA hypomethylation in AML, with important implications in cancer therapy.

Biotin tagging of MeCP2 reveals contextual insights into the Rett syndrome transcriptome

Project description:Mutations in MECP2 cause Rett syndrome (RTT), a X-linked neurological disorder characterized by the regressive loss of neurodevelopmental milestones and acquired intellectual disability and motor impairments. However, the cellular heterogeneity of the mammalian brain impedes our understanding of how MECP2 mutations disrupt neuronal function and contribute to RTT. In response, we developed cell type-specific biotin tagging in mice bearing RTT-associated mutations and profiled nuclear transcriptomes in WT and mutant neurons. Although individual gene expression changes are largely specific to each mutation and cell type, higher-level transcriptional features remain conserved and correlate with RTT phenotypic severity. Furthermore, subcellular RNA populations support post-transcriptional compensation as a basis for the upregulation of long genes previously reported in RTT mutant neurons. Finally, we overcame the genetic mosacism associated with female RTT mouse models and identified functionally distinct gene expression changes in neighboring WT and mutant neurons, which altogether provide key contextual insights into RTT.

Inherent genomic properties underlie the epigenomic heterogeneity of human induced pluripotent stem cells [WGBS]

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) show variable differentiation potential due to their epigenomic heterogeneity, whose extent/attributes remain unclear, except for well-studied elements/chromosomes such as imprints and the X chromosomes. Here, we show that seven hiPSC lines with variable germline potential exhibit substantial epigenomic heterogeneity, despite their uniform transcriptomes. Nearly a quarter of autosomal regions bear potentially differential chromatin modifications, with promoters/CpG islands for H3K27me3/H2AK119ub1 and evolutionarily young retrotransposons for H3K4me3. We identify 145 large autosomal blocks (≥100 kb) with differential H3K9me3 enrichment, many of which are lamina-associated domains (LADs) in somatic, but not in embryonic stem cells. A majority of these epigenomic heterogeneities are independent of genetic variations. We identify an X-chromosome state with chromosome-wide H3K9me3 that stably prevents X-chromosome erosion. Importantly, the germline potential of female hiPSCs correlates with X-chromosome inactivation. We propose that inherent genomic properties, including CpG density, transposons, and LADs, engender epigenomic heterogeneity in hiPSCs.
