L3MBTL2 protein acts in concert with PcG protein mediated monoubiquitination of H2A to establish a repressive chromatin structure [ChIP-chip data].

ABSTRACT: Human MBT domain‐containing protein L3MBTL2 was found to be an integral component of a protein complex that we termed Polycomb Repressive Complex 1‐like 3 (PRC1L3) given the presence of the PcG proteins RING1, RING2 and PCGF6. L3MBTL2 binds chromatin in a histone modification‐ independent manner and is required for the repressive function of PRC1L3. PRC1L3 also contains E2F6 and CBX3, two factors with well‐established functions in transcriptional repression. Genome‐wide profiling identified several hundred genes that are simultaneously bound by L3MBTL2 and E2F6, preferentially around transcriptional start sites. Importantly, these genes are largely distinct from those targeted by other E2Fs or L3MBTL, another MBT‐domain containing protein that interacts with RB1. H3K27 or H3K9 methylation, two chromatin modifications implicated in gene silencing, are not present on all L3MBTL2 target genes. L3MBTL2‐specific RNAi results in altered target gene expression patterns and affects the differentiation program of hematopoietic cells. Our data suggest that repression of transcription via chromatin modulation, reflective of PRC1 function, can be achieved by multiple players and does not necessarily require the presence of histone lysine methylation marks.

Project description:In mammals, totipotent pre-implantation embryos are formed by fusion of highly differentiated oocytes and spermatozoa. Acquisition of totipotency concurs with remodeling of chromatin states of parental genomes (M-bM-^@M-^\epigenetic reprogrammingM-bM-^@M-^]), changes in maternally contributed transcriptome and proteome, and zygotic genome activation. Genomes of mature germ cells are more proficient in supporting embryonic development than those of somatic cells. It is currently unknown whether transgenerational inheritance of chromatin states present in mature gametes underlies the efficacy of early embryonic development after natural conception. Here, we show that Ring1 and Rnf2, two core components of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), serve redundant gene regulatory functions during oogenesis that are required to support embryonic development beyond the two-cell stage. Numerous developmental regulatory genes that are established Polycomb targets in various somatic cell types are de-repressed in Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant (dm) fully grown germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes. Translation of tested aberrant maternal transcripts is, however, delayed until after fertilization. Exchange of maternal pro-nuclei between control and Ring1/Rnf2 maternally dm early zygotes demonstrates an essential role for Ring1 and Rnf2 during oogenesis in defining cytoplasmic and nuclear maternal contributions that are both essential for proper initiation of embryonic development. A large number of genes up-regulated in Ring1/Rnf2 dm GV oocytes harbor PRC2-mediated histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in spermatozoa and in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and are repressed during normal oogenesis and early embryogenesis. These data strongly support the model that Polycomb acts in the female and male germline to silence differentiation inducing genes and to program chromatin states, thereby sustaining developmental potential across generations. Expression profiling of fully grown mouse GV oocytes was performed with the following genotypes: Ring1+/+Rnf2F/F (control), Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F (Ring1 mutant), Ring1+/+Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Rnf2 mutant) and Ring1-/-Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant). 12 samples were analyzed: 3 biological replicates of each of the 4 genotypes (Ring1+/+Rnf2F/F (control), Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F (Ring1 mutant), Ring1+/+Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Rnf2 mutant) and Ring1-/-Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant)). Each sample contains 50 GV oocytes.
