Project description:The transcriptional status of genes can be determined from the enrichment pattern of RNA polymerase at the transcription start site (TSS) and across the body of the gene. Active elongating genes are enriched for H3K79me2, and Polycomb paused genes are marked by H3K27me3. Human CD133-positive Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde for 20 min. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A sample of whole cell extract (WCE) was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against total RNA Pol2 (Covance 8WG16), H3K27me3 (Abcam ab6002) and H3K79me2 (Abcam ab3594).

Project description:MIR139 is a critical tumor suppressor and commonly silenced in human cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we found that depletion of identified MIR139 targets affects AML outgrowth. We unraveled the mechanism of MIR139 gene inactivation in AML expressing the Mixed-Lineage Leukemia (MLL)-AF9 oncogene. Epigenetic analyses revealed two well-conserved putative enhancer regions in close proximity of transcriptional start sites (TSS) of MIR139. These regions were silenced by the Polycomb-Repressive Complex-2 (PRC2) downstream of MLL-AF9. Genomic deletion of these regions abolished MIR139 transcriptional regulation in normal and oncogenic conditions. Genome-wide knockout screens revealed the transcriptional pausing factor of RNA Polymerase-II, POLR2M, as a critical MIR139-silencing factor. Furthermore, direct POLR2M binding to the MIR139 TSS induced paused transcription, which was abrogated upon PRC2 inhibition. We present evidence for an oncogenic POLR2M-mediated MIR139 silencing mechanism, downstream of MLL-AF9 and PRC2. Together, our findings highlight the importance of POLR2M-mediated paused transcription in AML.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are histone-modifying and -binding complexes that mediate the formation of facultative heterochromatin and are required for silencing of developmental genes and maintenance of cell fate. Multiple pathways of RNA decay work together to establish and maintain heterochromatin in fission yeast, including a recently identified role for a conserved RNA degradation complex called the rixosome or RIX1 complex. Whether RNA degradation also plays a role in the stability of mammalian heterochromatin remains unknown. Here we show that the rixosome contributes to silencing of many Polycomb targets in human cells. The rixosome associates with human PRC complexes and is enriched at promoters of Polycomb target genes. Importantly, depletion of either the rixosome or Polycomb results in accumulation of paused and elongating RNA polymerase at Polycomb-target genes. We identify point mutations in the RING1B subunit of PRC1 that disrupt the interaction between PRC1 and the rixosome and result in diminished silencing, suggesting that direct recruitment of the rixosome to chromatin is required for silencing. Finally, we show that the RNA kinase activity of the rixosome and the XRN2 exoribonuclease, which degrades RNAs with 5’ mono-phosphate groups generated by the rixosome, are required for silencing. Our findings suggest that rixosome-mediated degradation of nascent RNA is conserved from fission yeast to human, although in human cells the rixosome degrades RNA in facultative rather than constitutive heterochromatin.

Project description:Here we globally analyzed mRNA and epigenetic changes in both early erythroid progenitors and late erythroblasts. Concomitant with gene induction there was an increase in RNA Pol II binding and activation marks near the transcriptional start site (TSS) and the elongation mark H3K79me2 (but not H3K36me3),both near the TSS and along the full gene length. In contrast, most repressed genes became depleted of elongation marks. We also found that relative changes in histone modification levels--in particular, H3K79me2 and H4K16ac-- most predictive of gene expression patterns. Our data suggests that in terminal erythropoiesis both transcriptional initiation and elongation contribute to induction of erythroid genes; in contrast, gene repression is mainly mediated by inhibition of Pol II elongation. Our data provides a comprehensive map of the epigenome during terminal erythroid differentiation.

Project description:Two independent, scaled, chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to uncover how Dot1l affects epigenetic modification (1) and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) (2) localization. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and reprogramming MEFs on day 4 treated with control (DMSO) or Dot1l inhibitor (Dot1li -SGC0946) were profiled. 1) Although ESCs have less global enrichment of H3K79me2 by mass spectrometry than MEFs, H3K79me2 is largely localized on the same shared genes in both cells, yet with reduced levels in pluripotent cells. All degrees of H3K79me (1/2/3) are predominately enriched on the same genes across cell types. Treatment with Dot1li evicts H3K79me1/2/3 from MEF specific, ESC specific, and shared genes with H3K79me2 peaks and enables gain of H3K9ac during reprogramming. 2) To understand how genebody epigenetic modifications affect transcription, RNAPII was analyzed. ESCs have less RNAPII enrichment at the transcriptional start site (TSS), but have similar genebody enrichment as somatic cells indicative of more relative elongation. Dot1li treatment during reprogramming reduces RNAPII at the TSS compared to control.

Project description:The role of Polycomb group (PcG) was studied on RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pausing phenomenon. Wild type and Polycomb mutant (esc) embryos were used for ChIP-Seq experiments using Pol II and histone methylation antibodies. Enhanced Pol II occupancy was observed for thousands of genes in esc mutant embryos, including genes not known to be bound by PRC2 or having H3K27me3 associated. Most of these genes exhibit a concomitant reduction in H3K27me3 and increase in H3K4me3 at promoter-proximal regions. Silent genes lacking promoter-associated paused Pol II in wild-type embryos are converted into âpoisedâ genes with paused Pol II in esc mutants. We suggest that this conversion of silent genes into poised genes might render differentiated cell types susceptible to switches in identity in PcG mutants. ChIP-Seq data was generated for antibodies against Pol-II, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 in both wild type and esc mutant Drosophila embryos (0-2hr, 8-12hr, and 18-24hr embryos). In addition GRO-Seq data was generated for 18-24hr esc mutant embryos.

Project description:H3K27me3 is a chromatin modification depositied by Suz12, a component of the Polycomb Group 2 complex, and is associated with transcriptional repression. In contrast, H3K79me2 is a chromatin modification associated with active gene transcription. It is deposited by the histone methyltransferase Dot1L and generally is localized just downstream of the transcriptional start site and extends down the body of the gene. To gain insight into the transcriptional state of genes in hES cells, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to determine the genome-wide occupancy of the H3K27me3 and H3K79me2 chromatin modifications and genome-wide occupancy of the Suz12.
