UHRF1-Mediated Maintenance DNA Methylation is Required for Induced Regulatory T Cell Function Following Influenza Induced Lung Injury in Young Adult Mice [invitro RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) promote resolution of inflammation and repair of epithelial damage following lung injury, thus representing a possible cellular therapeutic for ARDS. Foxp3+ natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) require specific DNA methylation patterns maintained by the epigenetic regulator, Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1, (UHRF1), to function, but the DNA methylation requirements of in vitro induced Tregs (iTregs) remain unknown. Here we tested whether the loss of Uhrf1 would augment the pro-recovery function of iTregs during viral pneumonia. We found that the loss of maintenance DNA methylation in iTregs results in reduced engraftment and a delayed repair response after experimental influenza pneumonia. Transcriptional and DNA methylation profiling of sorted Uhrf1-deficient iTregs post infection provide insight into the mechanisms underlying their impaired ability to promote repair, with Uhrf1-defiicent iTregs demonstrating greater instability via gain of alternate effector T cell lineage-defining transcription factors. Strategies to promote stability iTregs could be leveraged to further augment their pro-recovery function during pneumonia and ARDS.

Ubiquitome analysis of UHRF1 and UHRF2-deficient mESCs

Project description:The E3 ligase UHRF1 is an essential epigenetic cofactor for DNMT1 dependent maintenance DNA methylation, which provides a binding platform for DNMT1 by both cooperative binding of histones and hemi-methylated DNA as well as by ubiquitinating histone H3. Here, we conduct a comprehensive screen to identify novel ubiquitination targets of UHRF1 and its paralogue UHRF2 by comparing the ubiquitome of wildtype (wt), UHRF1- and UHRF2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells. With an antibody-dependent enrichment of ubiquitin remnant motif-containing peptides followed by isobaric-labeling based quantitative mass spectrometry, we find both known and novel E3 ligase substrates of UHRF1 involved in a variety of biological processes such as RNA processing, DNA methylation and DNA damage repair.

Gene expression analysis of iTregs and nTregs

Project description:MBP TCR Tg mouse (1B3) generates only iTregs when crossed onto RAGKO background. Tregs from 1B3.RAG mouse were used for gene expression analsysis to determine genes selectively expressed in peripherally generated iTregs iTregs from 1B3.RAG mice (>90% Foxp3+) were run against total Tregs from 1B3 and WT NOD mice. Foxp3- CD4+T cells were used as control from all strains as Tconv. (1B3 denotes MBP-TCR Tg mouse).

DNMT1 IP-MS alalysis to identify ubiquitin-dependent interacting partners

Project description:Stable inheritance of DNA methylation is critical for maintaining the differentiated phenotypes in multicellular organisms. However, the molecular basis ensuring high fidelity of maintenance DNA methylation is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that two distinct modes of DNMT1 recruitment, one is DNA replication-coupled and the other is uncoupled mechanism, regulate the stable inheritance of DNA methylation. PCNA-associated factor 15 (PAF15) represents a primary target of UHRF1 and undergoes dual mono-ubiquitylation (PAF15Ub2) on chromatin. PAF15Ub2 specifically interacts with DNMT1 and controls the recruitment of DNMT1 in a DNA replication-coupled manner. Thus, loss of PAF15Ub2 results in impaired DNA methylation at sites replicating during early S phase. In contrast, outside of S phase or when PAF15 ubiquitylation is perturbed, UHRF1 ubiquitylates histone H3 to promote DNMT1 recruitment. Together, we identify replication-coupled and uncoupled mechanisms of maintenance DNA methylation, both of which collaboratively ensure the stable DNA methylation.

Identificaiton of novel acetylation sites in UHRF1 mediated by acetyltransferase MOF

Project description:The multi-domain protein UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domains, 1) recruits DNMT1 for DNA methylation maintenance during DNA replication. Here, we show that MOF (Males absent On the First) is an acetyltransferase of UHRF1 to acetylate UHRF1 at Lys670 in the pre-RING linker region whereas HDAC1 is a deacetylase of UHRF1 at the same site. The MOF/HDAC1-mediated acetylation in UHRF1 is cell-cycle regulated and peaks at G1/S phase, in line with the function of UHRF1 in recruiting DNMT1 to maintain DNA methylation. In addition, UHRF1 acetylation significantly enhances its E3 ligase activity and elimination of UHRF1 acetylation at these sites attenuates UHRF1-mediated H3 ubiquitination, which in turn impairs the DNMT1 recruitment and DNA methylation. Taken together, these findings not only identify MOF as a new acetyltransferase for UHRF1 but also reveal a novel mechanism underlying the regulation of DNA methylation maintenance through MOF-mediated UHRF1 acetylation.

Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric control of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.

FACS-sorted CD103+ and CD103- Treg cell proteomics

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in suppressing systemic effector immune responses, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases but could also potentially contribute to tumor progression. As a result, there is significant interest in the clinical manipulation of Tregs. However, the mechanisms governing induced Treg (iTreg) differentiation are not fully understood. In the present study, we phenotypically profiled human iTregs during early stages of in vitro differentiation at single-cell level using multiparametric mass cytometry. A panel of 25 metal-conjugated antibodies specific to a range of markers associated with human Tregs was used to characterize these immunomodulatory cells. We found that iTregs highly express the transcription factor Foxp3 and characteristic Treg-associated surface markers (e.g. CD25, PD1, CD137, CCR4, CCR7, CXCR3, and CD103). Expression of co-inhibitory factors (e.g. TIM3, LAG3, and TIGIT) increased slightly at late stages of iTreg differentiation. Further, CD103 was selectively upregulated in the iTreg compartment while negatively regulated by Foxp3. Overall, our study highlights that during early stages of differentiation, iTregs resemble memory-like Treg features, and opens possibilities for studying molecular mechanisms of Treg function.

Histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk involving UHRF1 and SUV39H1/2 reinforces heterochromatin states in response to DNA hypomethylation

Project description:Histone H3 mono-ubiquitination, catalyzed by the RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1, is appreciated as a docking site for DNMT1 during DNA replication to facilitate DNA methylation maintenance. Its functions beyond this are unknown. Here, we identify simultaneous increases in UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub and SUV39H1/2-dependent H3K9me3 as prominent epigenetic alterations accompanying DNA hypomethylation induced by DNMT1 inhibition. Integrative epigenomics analyses reveal that transient accumulation of hemi-methylated DNA, resulting from incomplete DNA methylation maintenance, stimulates UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub at CpG islands that nucleates new domains of H3K9me3 and impedes PRC2 activity in these genomic regions. Notably, H3K18ub enhances the methyltransferase activity of SUV39H1/2, leading to increased H3K9me3 at these CpG island promoters. Blocking H3K18ub-dependent SUV39H1/2 activity enhances the efficacy of DNMT1 inhibitors. Collectively, these findings reveal a novel histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk mechanism that reinforces heterochromatin states in the absence of DNA methylation and proposes new strategies for improving cancer epigenetic therapy.
