A SCAN-box containing KRAB-ZFP maintains DNA methylation and inhibits gene expression [MeDIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is one of the most characteristic epigenetic modifications. In mammals, it is involved in a variety of biological processes, including transposable element silencing, gene expression regulation, genomic imprinting, and X chromosome inactivation. Here, through a medium-scale analysis of CpG islands loci coupled with ChIP-seq of Krüppel associated box zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs), we identified a murine ZFP, ZFP202, that bind to methylated CpG loci. We found that ZFP202 not only maintain CpG loci methylation, but also inhibit downstream gene expression in specific tissues. Disruption of ZFP202 in mouse led to genes upregulation in testis and placenta. Thus, our research identified a novel transcription factor that binding to methylated DNA and maintaining DNA methylation and promoting gene inhibition.

Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in KRAB-ZFP cluster KO ES cells

Project description:We report a retrotransposon-specific loss of CpG methylation in chromosome 4 KRAB-ZFP cluster (Chr4-cl) KO ES cells that are cultivated in conditions that induce DNA hypomethylation. The retrotransposon groups with the strongest DNA methylation loss are the main targets of the KRAB-ZFPs within the deleted gene cluster indicating that these KRAB-ZFPs prevent complete DNA demethylation at retrotransposons during global DNA demethylation.

Transposable elements and their KRAB-ZFP controllers regulate gene expression in adult tissues

Project description:The tetrapod-restricted KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are essential early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress via their cofactor KAP1 and associated effectors through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a target-centered functional screen, we matched several murine TEs with their cognate KRAB-ZFP. This revealed an unexpected level of granularity in their interactions, with KRAB-ZFPs recognizing TEs from more than one subfamily, TEs recruiting more than one KRAB-ZFP, and spatially and temporally differential KRAB-ZFP-mediated regulation of TEs and nearby genes. Most importantly, we discovered that the KRAB/KAP1 system controls TEs in adult tissues, in cell culture and in vivo, where they partner up to regulate the expression of cellular genes. Therefore, TEs and KRAB-ZFPs establish widely active transcription networks that regulate not only development but probably also many physiological events. Given the high degree of species-specificity of both TEs and KRAB-ZFPs, these results have important implications for studying and understanding the biology of higher vertebrates, including humans.

Genome-wide analysis of differential transcription in KRAB-ZFP cluster knock-out ES cells and mouse tissues

Project description:Mammalian genomes encode several hundred Krüppel-associated box zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) that bind DNA in a sequence-specific manner through tandem arrays of C2H2-type zinc fingers and repress transcription via KRAB-dependent recruitment of the silencing cofactor KAP1. The KRAB-ZFP family rapidly amplified and diversified in mammals by segmental gene duplications, mutations, and zinc finger rearrangements likely in response to continued transposable element invasions, but the biological functions and in vivo requirement of these proteins has gone largely unexplored. We determined the genomic binding sites of 61 murine KRAB-ZFPs and genetically deleted five large KRAB-ZFP gene clusters encoding more than 100 of the approximately 360 mouse KRAB-ZFPs. We demonstrate that most KRAB-ZFPs bind to specific retrotransposon families and that many of these retrotransposons are transcriptionally activated in KRAB-ZFP cluster KO ESCs, licensing retrotransposon-derived enhancers to activate nearby genes.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state and KAP1 occupancy in KRAB zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) gene cluster KO ES cells and testis

Project description:We have shown that many mouse KRAB-ZFPs target retrotransposons which are generally marked by H3K9me3 and KAP1 in ES cells. To test whether these KRAB-ZFPs are require to establish and maintain repressive chromatin marks at these elements, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against KAP1 (2 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs) and H3K9me3 (5 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs). We show that KRAB-ZFP targeted retrotransposons show reduced KAP1 binding and H3K9me3 in these KO ES cells. Furthermore, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against histone modifications typical for promoters and enhancers in Chr4-cl KO ES cells and testis. We show that, in ES cells, ETn retrotransposons gain signatures of active enhancers which acts on earby gene expression. In testis, a handful of different retrotransposons gain enhancer marks, although to a lesser degree. In conclusion, our data shows that KRAB-ZFPs are required to maintain H3K9me3 at retrotransposons in ES cells and to prevent some retrotransposons of becoming enhancers that affect gene expression patterns.
