RNF2 Missense Variants Disrupt Polycomb Repression and Enable Ectopic Mesenchymal Lineage Conversion During Human Neural Differentiation [CUT&RUN]

ABSTRACT: Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) catalyzes H2AK119ub1 to facilitate transcriptional repression during development. De novo dominant missense variants in RNF2, the principal E3 ligase of PRC1, are the genetic basis of Luo-Schoch-Yamamoto syndrome. To investigate the developmental impact of catalytically impaired RNF2 alleles, we engineered hESC lines harboring homozygous hypomorphic RNF2 missense alleles (RNF2MS/MS) that stably expresses RNF2 with reduced H2AK119ub1. Upon directed neural differentiation, RNF2MS/MS cells exhibited asynchronous neural differentiation and ectopic emergence of mesenchymal fated lineages. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed a fate bifurcation characterized by derepression of TWIST1 and other epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gene-network components, coinciding with focal loss of H2AK119ub1 and H3K27me3. These findings demonstrate that RNF2-mediated H2AK119ub1 is required to constrain lineage fidelity by repressing context-inappropriate developmental programs during early human neural differentiation, and reveal a shared chromatin-based mechanism linking RNF2 missense variants to both neurodevelopmental pathology and oncogenic plasticity.

RING1 missense variants reveal sensitivity of DNA damage repair to H2A monoubiquitination dosage during neurogenesis.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) modifies chromatin through catalysis of histone 2A lysine 119 monoubiquitination (H2AK119ub1). RING1 and RNF2 interchangeably serve as the catalytic subunit within PRC1. Pathogenic missense variants in PRC1 core components reveal functions of these proteins that are obscured in knockout models. While Ring1a knockout models remain healthy, the microcephaly and neuropsychiatric phenotypes associated with a pathogenic RING1 missense variant implicate unappreciated functions. Using an in-vitro model of neurodevelopment, we observe that RING1 contributes to the broad placement of H2AK119ub1, and that its targets overlap with those of RNF2. PRC1 complexes harboring hypomorphic RING1 bind target loci but do not catalyze H2AK119ub1, reducing H2AK119ub1 by preventing catalytically active complexes from accessing the locus. This results in delayed DNA damage repair and cell cycle progression in neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Conversely, reduced H2AK119ub1 due to hypomorphic RING1 does not generate differential expression that impacts NPC differentiation. The greater reduction of H2AK119ub1 dosage observed in NPCs expressing hypomorphic RNF2, however, exhibited defects in both DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. These findings suggest that the DNA damage response is more sensitive to H2AK119ub1 dosage change than is regulation of gene expression.

Unbalanced chromatin binding of PRC1 complexes drives neurodevelopmental disorders

Project description:Heterozygous de novo missense mutations in genes encoding Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins can cause diverse neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), but the underlying mechanisms are not yet understood. Here, we identified novel mutations in the two E3-ligases of the Polycomb Repressive complex 1 (PRC1), RING1 and RNF2, in individuals with NDDs and uncover distinct mechanisms by which PRC1 activity can be compromised. As a proof of concept, we generated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and a novel mouse model carrying a heterozygous Rnf2 allele with a missense mutation that produces a deleterious Ring1bR70H variant. This variant causes a cell fate change in neuroprecursors (NPCs) towards the non-neuronal lineages glial and microglia. Allele-specific profiling revealed that Ring1bR70H integrates into canonical PRC1 and displaces variant PRC1 from chromatin. As a result, there is a disruption of the PRC1 balance and a deregulation of PcG target genes. We uncovered that mutant NPCs have an aberrant PcG retention and chromatin compaction pattern at key NPC pioneer factors and Wnt signaling genes. Critically, this heterozygous Rnf2 mutation in mice is sufficient to disrupt neural connectivity and structural organization in key brain regions, including the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Our findings establish Rnf2 as essential for neurodevelopmental integrity and brain function, shedding light on how PRC1 dysfunction contributes to NDDs.
