Project description:Ezh1 is a protein member of PRC2. Ezh1 has been described as a functional repressor gene, such as its homologous Ezh2. We are investigating the role of Ezh1 in hematopoietic stem cells, aging, self-renewal and differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in LSK cells from mice with knocked-down expression of Ezh1. LSK cells from EZH1 knockout and control mice were marked and isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. 2 replicates each.

Project description:Circadian rhythmicity of gene expression is a conserved feature of cell physiology. This involves fine tuning between transcriptional and post-transcriptional molecular mechanisms, strongly dependent on the metabolic state of the cell, which guarantees adaptive plasticity of tissue-specific genetic programs. Dynamics of epigenome structure and epigenetic regulators support this plasticity. However, the intermingle between epigenome and RNA Pol II rhythmicity remains to be investigated. Here we identify the Polycomb group (PcG) protein EZH1 as a gateway bridging function regulating periodic alternation between chromatin mediated silencing and active transcription in post-mitotic skeletal muscle cells. We show that PRC2-EZH1 core components are under direct regulation of BMAL1, and show an oscillatory behavior and a regulated periodic assembly of PRC2-EZH1 complex. Instead at alternate Zeitgeber points, EZH1 becomes essential for circadian gene expression, through stabilization of RNA Pol II preinitiation complex controlling nascent transcription process. Collectively, our data show that EZH1 depending on the stoichiometry of its partners guarantees both negative and positive modulation of RNA Pol II activity, resulting in oscillatory transcription.

Project description:Ezh2 is a protein member of PRC2 and has described like a functional repressor gene. We are investigating the role of Ezh2 in hematopoietic stem cell, aging and leukemia. In the present study, we generated mouse models that allow gain-of-function of Ezh2 in the hematopoietic system. Activation of Ezh2 expression specifically in self-renewing HSCs alters gene expression programs and severely compromises hematopoietic function, leading to the development of myeloproliferative disease. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in LSK that has relationship with the overexpression of Ezh2. LSK were marked and isolated by Fluorescence-activated cell sorting in Trizol.

Project description:We previously reported the requirement of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) for spermatogenesis through transcriptional repression of somatic genes and meiosis-specific genes. To characterize how PRC2's two methyltransferase subunits, EZH1 and EZH2, regulate histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methylation during germ cell development, we generated mouse models with a germline ablation of EZH1 and/or EHZ2. Only the combined loss of EZH1 and EZH2 caused a depletion of global H3K27me3 marks and meiotic arrest in spermatocytes. Genome-wide analysis of H3K27me3 in spermatogenic cells revealed that a noncanonical EZH1-PRC2 could establish and maintain this histone mark on somatic genes and certain meiotic genes. Consistent with it having active enhancers in testis, Ezh1 was not only abundant in highly differentiated spermatocytes but also in actively proliferating progenitor and stem germ cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that the expression level of Ezh1 determines the restoration of H3K27 methylation in the absence of the canonical EZH2-PRC2.

Project description:Trimethylation on H3K27 (H3K27me3) mediated by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been linked to embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity and pluripotency. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, has been reported as the sole histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K27 and mediates transcriptional silencing. Analysis of Ezh2(-/-) ESCs suggests existence of an additional enzyme(s) catalyzing H3K27 methylation. We have identified EZH1, a homolog of EZH2 that is physically present in a noncanonical PRC2 complex, as an H3K27 methyltransferase in vivo and in vitro. EZH1 colocalizes with the H3K27me3 mark on chromatin and preferentially preserves this mark on development-related genes in Ezh2(-/-) ESCs. Depletion of Ezh1 in cells lacking Ezh2 abolishes residual methylation on H3K27 and derepresses H3K27me3 target genes, demonstrating a role of EZH1 in safeguarding ESC identity. Ezh1 partially complements Ezh2 in executing pluripotency during ESC differentiation, suggesting that cell-fate transitions require epigenetic specificity.

Project description:Genetic disruption of chromatin regulators is frequently found in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). While chromatin regulators are attractive therapeutic targets, studies to determine their implication in the etiology of NDDs are limited, preventing advances in diagnosis and treatment strategies. Here, we uncover pathogenic variants in the chromatin modifier Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 1 (EZH1) as the cause of overlapping dominant and recessive NDDs in 19 individuals. EZH1 encodes one of the two alternative histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferases of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Unlike the other PRC2 subunits, which are associated with the pathogenesis of human cancers and developmental disorders with overgrowth, the implication of EZH1 in human development and disease is largely unknown. Using cellular models and biochemical studies, we demonstrate that EZH1 variants identified in our study alter EZH1 molecularly. While recessive variants are EZH1 loss of function (LOF) variants that impair EZH1 expression, dominant variants are all missense mutations that affect evolutionarily conserved aminoacids likely impacting EZH1 structure or function. Accordingly, we found increased H3K27 methyltransferase activity for two EZH1 missense variants we tested, thus generating EZH1 gain of function (GOF) variants. Furthermore, we show that EZH1 is necessary and sufficient to differentiate neural stem cells in the developing chick embryo neural tube. Finally, using human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural cultures and forebrain organoids, we demonstrate that EZH1 LOF and GOF variation perturbs cortical projection neuron differentiation. Our work identifies EZH1 LOF and GOF variants as the genetic basis of previously undefined recessives and dominant NDDs and uncovers an essential role of EZH1 in regulating neurogenesis.

Project description:Circadian rhythmicity of gene expression is a conserved feature of cell physiology. This involves the fine tuning between transcriptional and post-transcriptional molecular mechanisms, strongly dependent on the metabolic state of the cell that guarantees intrinsic plasticity of tissue specific genetic programs. To support the plastic properties a key role is played by the dynamics of epigenome structure and its regulators. Here we investigate the role of the Polycomb cell memory complex PRC2-EZH1 in regulating transcriptional rhythmicity in post-mitotic skeletal muscle cells. We show that PRC2-EZH1 core components are under direct regulation of BMAL1, show an oscillatory behavior and control both silencing and activation of target genes. Fully assembled PRC2-EZH1 complex negatively regulates cyclic expression of direct targets through modulation of cyclic H3K27me3 status. Conversely, we show that EZH1 regulates constitutive circadian genes expression, through stabilization of RNA Pol II machinery and maintenance of transcription process fidelity. Collectively, these findings unveil the dual and multi role of PcG in circadian gene regulation in adult skeletal muscle cells, and the plastic nature of PcG cell memory system in somatic cells.

Project description:The chimeric protein AML1-ETO is subjected to an array of posttranslational modifications that crucially regulate its functions. Enhancer of zeste homolog 1 (Ezh1) regulates gene expression through its histone methyltransferase activity. In this study, we test the impact of Ezh1 on AML1-ETO regulating target gene expression. Results provide important information of the response of Ezh1 knock down, AML1-ETO knock down or both.
