Identification of elements driving KIR gene demethylation in CD56-Bright NK cells

ABSTRACT: The variegated expression of the KIR family of class I MHC receptors is crucial for the generation of specialized NK cells capable of detecting changes in the expression of specific HLA genes or alleles. Understanding the timing and mechanism of KIR gene activation will lead to improved methods for the generation of fully functional NK cells in vitro. Previous studies revealed that a central RUNX-binding site is a key element required for the demethylation and activation of the KIR proximal promoter. RUNX proteins associate with the TET family of proteins that generate 5‑hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and drive DNA demethylation. We employed a novel system capable of distinguishing 5‑methylcytosine (5mC) and 5hmC residues in DNA to provide insight into the process of KIR gene activation during NK cell development. Significant levels of 5hmC, indicative of TET activity, were observed in variegated KIR genes in CD56Bright NK cells but not the preceding ILCP or subsequent CD56-Dim stages of development. The primary site of 5hmC generation was within the central CREB-binding site, located 11 bp 5' of the consensus RUNX-binding site. Taken together, these findings support a key role of RUNX/TET for KIR gene activation in developing NK cells.

Distinct and stage-specific contributions of TET1 and TET2 to stepwise cytosine oxidation in the transition from naive to primed pluripotency

Project description:Cytosine DNA bases can be methylated by DNA methyltransferases and subsequently oxidized by TET proteins. The resulting 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) are considered demethylation intermediates as well as stable epigenetic marks. To dissect the contribution of these cytosine modifying enzymes, we generated combinations of Tet knockout (KO) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and systematically measured protein and DNA modification levels at the transition from naive to primed pluripotency. Whereas the increase of genomic 5-methylcytosine (5mC) levels during exit from pluripotency correlated with an upregulation of the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B, the subsequent oxidation steps turned out to be far more complex. The strong increase of oxidized cytosine bases (5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC) was accompanied by a drop in TET2 levels, yet the analysis of KO cells suggested that TET2 is responsible for most 5fC formation. The comparison of modified cytosine and enzyme levels in Tet KO cells revealed distinct and differentiation-dependent contributions of TET1 and TET2 to 5hmC and 5fC formation arguing against a processive mechanism of 5mC oxidation. The apparent independent steps of 5hmC and 5fC formation suggest yet to be identified mechanisms regulating TET activity and may constitute another layer of epigenetic regulation.

Rest recruits neuronal Tet3 to induce chromatin remodeling and gene expression

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) hydroxylases (Tet1-3) oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). In neurons increased 5hmC levels within gene bodies correlate positively with gene expression. The mechanisms controlling Tet activity and 5hmC levels are poorly understood. In particular, it is not known how the neuronal Tet3 isoform lacking a DNA binding domain is targeted to the DNA. To identify factors binding to Tet3 we screened for proteins that co-precipitate with Tet3 from mouse retina and identified the transcriptional repressor Rest as a highly enriched Tet3-specific interactor. Rest was able to enhance Tet3 hydroxylase activity after co-expression and overexpression of Tet3 activated transcription of Rest-target genes. Moreover, we found that Tet3 also interacts with Nsd3 and two other H3K36 methyltransferases and is able to induce H3K36 trimethylation. We propose a mechanism for transcriptional activation in neurons that involves Rest-guided targeting of Tet3 to the DNA for directed 5hmC-generation and Nsd3-mediated H3K36 trimethylation.

Genomic context differentially impacts stepwise oxidation by TET enzymes to shape DNA hydroxymethylation landscapes

Project description:Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes reverse gene silencing imposed by 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in mammalian genomes by catalyzing the stepwise oxidation of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxycytosine (5caC). 5hmC both acts as an independent epigenetic mark and promotes replication-dependent DNA demethylation by antagonizing maintenance DNA methylation. Oxidation of 5hmC to 5fC/5caC instead marks the committed step in replication-independent DNA demethylation, whereby 5fC/5caC are actively excised and reverted to unmodified cytosine. Although prior work indicates that TET-mediated oxidation is influenced by bases neighboring 5mC, these studies have been unable to resolve more than two of the relevant species – 5mC, 5hmC, and 5fC/5caC – at the same time. As 5hmC is the key fulcrum in DNA demethylation, we established a high-throughput enzymology approach to probe these three cytosine states at base resolution simultaneously across hundreds of sites. We reveal distinct context dependencies for 5hmC generation versus decay, with flanking bases differentially impacting 5hmC persistence. Notably, we demonstrate these predictable preferences in duplexed DNA are lost in single-stranded DNA, mechanistically linking these features to TET-mediated base-flipping. Furthermore, analysis of genomic 5hmC patterns uncovers evidence of sequence context bias in cellular 5hmC accumulation, suggesting a role for TET-intrinsic preferences in shaping cellular epigenetic landscapes.

Concomitant loss of TET2 and TET3 results in T cell expansion and genomic instability [BGI-RNA-Seq]

Project description:TET proteins mediate DNA demethylation by oxidizing 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and other oxidative derivatives. While we have previously demonstrated a dynamic enrichment of 5hmC during T cell lineage specification, the impact of TET proteins in CD4 cell lineage differentiation remains largely unknown. Here, we discover that TET proteins exert a fundamental role in regulating the differentiation and maturation of the CD4 lineage by controlling the expression of the lineage specifying factor Th-POK, which is encoded by Zbtb7b. We demonstrate that TET proteins mediate DNA demethylation of a proximal enhancer, critical for the stability of Th-POK expression. In addition, TET proteins drive the DNA demethylation of site A at the Zbtb7b locus to facilitate GATA3 binding, an event critical for Th-POK expression and subsequent CD4 maturation. The impaired maturation of Tet2/3 DKO CD4 cells leads to the acquisition of a stemness signature and results in acquisition of malignant traits.

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) methylation profiling of adult mouse brain and liver tissues (hMeDIP-seq)

Project description:5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is the first oxidative product of the TET-mediated 5-methylcytosine (5mC) demethylation pathway. It is a key intermediate in cytosine demethylation, and have potential regulatory functions with emerging importance in mammalian biology. In this work, we used a chemical capture-based technique that coupled with next-generation sequencing to investigate the global 5hmC methylation in five brain subregions (cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus and thalamus) and liver tissues from female and male adult mice. We also performed total RNA sequencing to study the association between 5hmC and gene expression. The enriched 5-hmC library was sequenced on a HiSeq2500 by paired-end sequencing with 100 bp read length.

TET proteins regulate T cell and iNKT cell lineage specification in a TET2 catalytic dependent manner [RNA-Seq]

Project description:TET proteins mediate DNA demethylation by oxidizing 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and other oxidative derivatives. We have previously demonstrated a dynamic enrichment of 5hmC during T and invariant natural killer T cell lineage specification. Here, we investigate shared signatures in gene expression of Tet2/3 DKO CD4 single positive (SP) and iNKT cells in the thymus. We discover that TET proteins exert a fundamental role in regulating the expression of the lineage specifying factor Th-POK, which is encoded by Zbtb7b. We demonstrate that TET proteins mediate DNA demethylation - surrounding a proximal enhancer, critical for the intensity of Th-POK expression. In addition, TET proteins drive the DNA demethylation of site A at the Zbtb7b locus to facilitate GATA3 binding. GATA3 induces Th-POK expression in CD4 SP cells. Finally, by introducing a novel mouse model that lacks TET3 and expresses full length, catalytically inactive TET2, we establish a causal link between TET2 catalytic activity and lineage specification of both conventional and unconventional T cells.

TET enzymes augment AID expression via 5hmC modifications at the Aicda superenhancer [ATAC-seq]

Project description:TET enzymes are dioxygenases that promote DNA demethylation by oxidizing the methyl group of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Here we report a close correspondence between 5hmC-marked regions, chromatin accessibility and enhancer activity in B cells, and a strong enrichment for consensus binding motifs for basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors at TET-responsive genomic regions. Functionally, Tet2 and Tet3 regulate class switch recombination (CSR) in murine B cells by enhancing expression of Aicda, encoding the cytidine deaminase AID essential for CSR. TET enzymes deposit 5hmC, demethylate and maintain chromatin accessibility at two TET-responsive elements, TetE1 and TetE2, located within a superenhancer in the Aicda locus. Transcriptional profiling identified BATF as the bZIP transcription factor involved in TET-dependent Aicda expression. 5hmC is not deposited at TetE1 in activated Batf-deficient B cells, indicating that BATF recruits TET proteins to the Aicda enhancer. Our data emphasize the importance of TET enzymes for bolstering AID expression, and highlight 5hmC as an epigenetic mark that captures enhancer dynamics during cell activation.
