SMXL7 nuclear condensates regulate transcription and chromatin architecture in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: This study investigates SMXL7's role in transcriptional repression and chromatin organization in Arabidopsis. SMXL7 forms nuclear condensates that sequester transcription factors and associate with H3K27me3 heterochromatin, thereby modulating chromatin accessibility and genome architecture. These findings uncover a link between hormone signaling and epigenetic regulation in plant development.

SMXL7 nuclear condensates regulate transcription and chromatin architecture in Arabidopsis [ATAC-seq]

Project description:This study investigates the role of SMXL7 protein condensates in regulating gene expression and chromatin organization in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The researchers found that SMXL7 forms phase-separated nuclear condensates that sequester transcription factors and histone demethylases, thereby repressing gene expression. These condensates also associate with and modulate levels of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3, influencing higher-order chromatin structure. The findings reveal a novel mechanism linking plant hormone signaling to epigenetic regulation and nuclear architecture, with implications for understanding how plants control development in response to environmental cues. This work provides new insights into the functions of biomolecular condensates in transcriptional control and hormone signaling in plants.

MeCP2 links heterochromatin condensates and neurodevelopmental disease

Project description:MeCP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2) is a key component of constitutive heterochromatin, which plays important roles in chromosome maintenance and transcriptional silencing. Mutations in MeCP2 cause Rett syndrome (RTT), a postnatal progressive neurodevelopmental disorder associated with severe mental disability and autism-like symptoms that manifests in girls during early childhood. Heterochromatin, long considered a dense and relatively static structure, is now understood to exhibit properties consistent with a liquid-like condensate. Here we report that MeCP2 is a dynamic component of heterochromatin condensates in cells, is stimulated by DNA to form liquid-like condensates, contains multiple domains that contribute to condensate formation, manifests physicochemical properties that selectively concentrate heterochromatin cofactors compared to components of transcriptionally active condensates, and when altered by RTT-causing mutations is disrupted in its ability to form condensates. We propose that MeCP2 enhances heterochromatin/euchromatin separation through its condensate partitioning properties and that condensate disruption may be a common consequence of RTT patient mutations.

Hijacking of transcriptional condensates by endogenous retroviruses

Project description:Heterochromatin plays essential roles in repressing retrotransposons, e.g. endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) during mammalian development, but the contribution of retrotransposition to lethality observed in embryonic cells deficient for heterochromatin-mediated ERV repression is poorly understood. Here we report that selective degradation of the TRIM28 heterochromatin adapter protein leads to reduced association of transcriptional condensates with loci encoding super-enhancer -driven pluripotency genes in embryonic stem cells, a collapse of the pluripotency transcriptional circuit, and a pre-lethal restriction of pluripotent lineages in mouse embryos. De-repressed ERVs recruit transcriptional condensates in the absence of TRIM28, and ERV RNA facilitates condensation of RNA Polymerase II in vitro. We propose that retrotransposons contribute to the genomic distribution of nuclear condensates, and that RNA species may facilitate “hijacking” of transcriptional condensates in various developmental and disease contexts.

Nuclear condensates of p300 formed though the structured catalytic core can act as a storage pool of p300 with reduced HAT activity

Project description:The transcriptional co-activator and acetyltransferase p300 is required for fundamental cellular processes, including differentiation and growth. Here, we report that p300 forms phase separated condensates in the cell nucleus. The phase separation ability of p300 is regulated by autoacetylation and relies on its catalytic core components, including the HAT domain, the autoinhibition loop, and bromodomain. p300 condensates sequester chromatin components, such as histone H3 tail and DNA, and are amplified through binding of p300 to the nucleosome. The catalytic HAT activity of p300 is decreased due to occlusion of the active site in the phase separated droplets, a large portion of which co-localizes with chromatin regions enriched in H3K27me3. Our findings suggest a model in which p300 condensates can act as a storage pool of the protein with reduced HAT activity, allowing p300 to be compartmentalized and concentrated at poised or repressed chromatin regions.
