Phase Separation of MRG15 delays cellular senescence [CUT&Tag]

ABSTRACT: Phase separation, a biophysical process that segregates subcellular environments into condensates, is recognized for its role in regulating transcription. However, the extent of its influence on cellular senescence processes remains to be fully elucidated. Here, we have established that the depletion of MRG15, a conserved chromodomainprotein, leads to cellular senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). MRG15 is capable of forming phase-separated liquid condensates via its intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Through the utilization of IDR deletion and replacement assays, we have shed light on the pivotal role that MRG15 condensation plays in the senescence of hMSCs. Through epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis, the depletion of MRG15 impacts pathways that are integral to the cell cycle and the senescence process, as evidenced by the diminished binding and the modified expression of key genes, including CDKN1A, LMNB1, CCNB1, NPM1, MYC, and HMGB2. Within a bleomycin-induced model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in mice, hMSCs of the wild-type variety were able to ameliorate inflammation and fibrosis, a stark contrast to the outcomes observed in MSCs where MRG15 was knocked down or its IDR was deleted. Our findings establishes a link between phase separation and senescence regulation and could present a promising new therapeutic target for the alleviation of age-related diseases and the potential extension of lifespan.

Material properties of biomolecular condensates regulates RNA splicing and tumorigenesis

Project description:It remains largely unclear how material properties of biomolecular condensates impact physiological and pathological processes such as cancer. Here we show that AKAP95, a nuclear protein involved in gene regulation, plays an important role in tumorigenesis through directly regulating mRNA splicing. We show that AKAP95, through an intrinsic disordered region (IDR), forms liquid-like droplets in vitro and dynamic foci in nucleus. We have also identified key residues in IDR whose mutations to different residues perturb AKAP95 condensation in opposite directions. Importantly, the biological activity of AKAP95 in splice regulation is affected by either disruption of liquid condensation or enhancing the gelation of the assembly. We then show that the ability of AKAP95 in overcoming oncogene-induced senescence requires AKAP95 in an appropriate window of liquidity. These results thus link phase separation to tumorigenesis and uncover an important role of regulating the material property of protein condensates in disease including cancer.

Phase separation of YAP fusion proteins drives supratentorial ependymoma (methyl-seq)

Project description:HIPPO-YAP/TAZ signaling has been implicated in supratentorial ependymoma formation from neural progenitor cells (NPC) in the brain, however, the underlying mechanisms to trigger the neural progenitor cell transformation remains elusive. Here, we uncover that patient-derived tumorigenic YAP-fusion proteins (YAP-MAMLD1 and C11ORF95-YAP) promote ependymoma tumorigenesis through forming liquid-liquid phase-separated condensates. Intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) in the fusion proteins promote oligomerization of YAP-transcriptional co-activators and self-assembly of nuclear puncta-like membrane-less organelles. Phase separation of YAP-fusion proteins further facilitates the compartmentalization of transcriptional coactivators, BRD4 and MED1, resulting in pervasive enhancer landscape changes and exclusion of transcriptional repressors such as PRC2 complexes. YAP-fusion proteins-induced nuclear puncta recruit RNA polymerase II to promote transcriptional bursting of multiple oncogenic pathways. Moreover, we show that IDR-mediated phase separation is necessary for YAP-fusion protein-induced tumor formation. Distinct YAP fusion-proteins identified in other human tumors also encompass IDR features. Together, our data suggest that IDR-mediated phase separation is an integral component of YAP-fusion protein-induced tumorigenesis and might serve as a therapeutic target in supratentorial ependymoma.

Effect of CLK2 expression in the regulation of intron retention during heat shock [RNA-seq]

Project description:Intron retention (IR) constitutes a less explored form of alternative splicing, wherein introns are retained within mature mRNA transcripts. Our investigation demonstrates that the CDC-like kinase 2 (CLK2) undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) within nuclear speckles in response to heat shock (HS). The formation of CLK2 condensates depends on the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) located within the N-terminal amino acids 1-148. Phosphorylation at residue T343 sustains CLK2 kinase activity and facilitates autophosphorylation, thus inhibiting the LLPS activity of the IDR. These CLK2 condensates initiate the reorganization of nuclear speckles, transforming them into larger, rounded structures. Moreover, these condensates facilitate the recruitment of splicing factors into these compartments, potentially restricting their access to mRNA for intron splicing. Consequently, the formation of CLK2 condensates promotes the IR.

MRG15 interactome upon UV irradiation

Project description:The aim of this analysis is to identify the difference between interaction partners of MRG15 wild type and Chromodomain and MRG domain mutants upon UV irradiation. Therefore, MRG15 wild type and mutants (N-terminal FLAG tag) were overexpressed in U2OS cells. After UV irradiation, immunoprecipitation of the constructs was performed using FLAG M2 affinity gel. The constructs were eluted from the beads with 3xFLAG peptide.

Phase Separation of FOXA1 Unpacks the Condensed Chromatin to Function as a Pioneer Factor [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin in the nucleus, which restricts the binding of transcription factors (TFs) to the target DNA sites. FOXA1 functions as a pioneer TF to bind condensed chromatin and initiates the opening of local chromatin for gene expression. However, the principles of how FOXA1 recruits to and unpacks the condensed chromatin remain elusive. Here, we revealed that FOXA1 intrinsically undergoes phase separation through its N-PrLD and C-IDR regions, identified as phase separation region (PSR). Notably, the phase separation property confers FOXA1 the ability to dissolve the chromatin condensates. In addition, the DNA-binding capacity of FOXA1 contributes to its phase separation property. Further genome-wide investigation showed that FOXA1 is recruited to and unpacks the condensed chromatin by its PSR to regulate the function of breast cancer cells. This work provides a principal example of how pioneer TFs function to initiate competent chromatin states by phase separation.
