Paraspeckle Protein NONO Regulates Active Chromatin by Allosterically Stimulating NSD1

ABSTRACT: NSD1 is a key histone methyltransferase that catalyzes di-methylation of lysine 36 of histone H3 (H3K36me2), essential for active chromatin domains. While the loss of NSD1 activity halts embryonic development and its aberrant gain drives oncogenesis in leukemia and glioma, the regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we uncover that NSD1 requires allosteric activation through the aromatic pocket of its PWWP2 domain. Surprisingly, NSD1-PWWP2 binds to a non-canonical target, nuclear paraspeckle protein NONO, and this protein-protein interaction allosterically stimulates NSD1. Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) engineered with mutations in the aromatic pocket of NSD1-PWWP2 cannot differentiate into neural progenitor cells (NPC), and genetic depletion of NONO partially phenocopied this defect, potentially explaining the neurodevelopmental disorder phenotypes in NSD1- and NONO-deficient diseases. Our work uncovered a mechanism driving active chromatin domain formation, an implication in the interplay between nuclear paraspeckles and active chromatin, and a vulnerability of NSD1 for therapeutic interventions.

O-GlcNAcylation of NONO is Critical for Paraspeckle Component Assembly and Contributes to Tumorigenesis

Project description:Non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO) is a multifunctional member of the Drosophila behavior/human splicing (DBHS) protein family with DNA- and RNA-binding activity. Recent studies revealed that NONO is O-GlcNAcylated and dysregulated in various types of cancer. Excessive O-GlcNAcylation of target proteins has also been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, it is not known whether O-GlcNAcylation of NONO promotes cancer cell growth, and little is known about the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on the biological properties of NONO. This study identifies Thr440 as the primary NONO O-GlcNAcylation site and demonstrates its crucial role in the assembly of paraspeckles, an important subnuclear compartment that facilitates NONO-dependent transcriptional regulation in mammalian cells. We demonstrated that O-GlcNAcylation of NONO is required to maintain the expression of genes related to GO category “microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved in mitosis” and to suppress the expression of genes related to GO category “cellular response to type I interferon”. Moreover, stable depletion of NONO O-GlcNAcylation or NONO knockout significantly inhibited the growth of colon cancer cells. These findings highlight the importance of NONO and its O-GlcNAcylation status in modulating cell cycle progression, immune response, and tumorigenesis.

The Sotos syndrome gene Nsd1 safeguards bivalent developmental enhancers in poised states through restraining excessive H3K27me3 deposition [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Germline haploinsufficiency of Nsd1 is implicated as the etiology of Sotos syndrome, a developmental genetic disorder manifesting skeletal overgrowth and intellectual disability. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive to date. Here we employed mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell in vitro differentiation as a developmental model system to tackle this question. We found that Nsd1 is indispensable for faithful differentiation of mouse ES cells into three primary germ layers, particularly the meso-endoderm lineages such as heart, vascular, and skeletal systems. Time-series gene expression profiling revealed that Nsd1 facilitates not only the basal expression but also differentiation-accompanied rapid induction of certain key meso-endoderm linage-specifying transcription factor genes such as T and Gata4. Mechanistically, Nsd1 directly binds to putative distal bivalent enhancers of these genes under ES state, where it antagonizes excessive H3K27me3 through depositing H3K36me2 and conversely maintains the active H3K27ac mark, thereby safeguarding these enhancers at poised or primed states that are highly responsive to developmental cues. In agreement, rescue assays showed that Nsd1-catalyzed H3K36me2 depends on intact PHD1-4, PWWP2, and SET domains to a similar degree, disruption of either one severely abolished Nsd1’s ability to revert the defective differentiation phenotype. Additionally, Nsd1 is likely continuously required to sustain the activation of certain developmental genes, as it continues to reside at these genes after differentiation induction, albeit recruited by a different set of transcription factors. Altogether, our results provide novel molecular insights into how Nsd1 perturbations derail the normal developmental pathways and cause human disease.

H3 K27M and EZHIP impede H3K27-methylation spreading by inhibing allosterically stimulated PRC2 [S2_ATAC]

Project description:In this study, we report that EZHIP and H3 K27M preferentially interact with an allosterically activated form of PRC2 in vivo. The formation of H3 K27M- and EZHIP-PRC2 complexes occurs at CpG islands containing H3K27me3 and impedes PRC2 and H3K27me3 spreading. Moreover, we find that H3 K27M inhibits PRC2 in trans and can reduce H3K27me3 levels independent of chromatin incorporation. While EZHIP is not found outside of placental mammals, we find that expression of human EZHIP reduces H3K27me3 in Drosophila melanogaster through a conserved molecular mechanism.

NSD1-mediated HDAC1 recruitment reduces H3K27ac at active enhancers to safeguard associated gene expression

Project description:Epigenetics, especially histone marks, functions beyond the DNA sequences to regulate gene expression. Depletion of NSD1, which catalyzes H3K36me2, led to both up- and down-regulation of gene expression, indicating NSD1 is associated with both active and repressed gene expression. It’s known that NSD1 regulates the deposition and expansion of H3K27me3, a repressive mark for gene expression, to keep active gene transcription. However, how NSD1 functions to repress gene expression is largely unknown. Here, we found that, when NSD1 was knocked out in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), H3K27ac increased correlatively with the decrease of H3K36me2 at active enhancers, which is associated with mesoderm differentiation genes, leading to elevated gene expression. Mechanistically, NSD1 recruits HDAC1, the deacetylase of H3K27ac, to chromatin. Moreover, HDAC1 knockout (KO) recapitulates the increase of H3K27ac at active enhancers as the NSD1 depletion. Together, we propose that NSD1 deposits H3K36me2 and recruits HDAC1 at active enhancers to serve as a ‘safeguard’, preventing further activation of active enhancer-associated genes.

Paraspeckle protein NONO attenuates vascular calcification by inhibiting BMP2 transcription

Project description:Vascular calcification is a common and life-threatening complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, in which osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays an essential role. Paraspeckle protein NONO is a multifunctional protein involved in many nuclear biological processes but its role in vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs remains unclear.By RNA sequencing analysis in primary mouse VSMCs with or without NONO knockout, we observed significant changes of genes important in regulating vascular function and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs.
