Bromodomain-dependent stage-specific male genome programming by Brdt [Illumina BeadArray]

ABSTRACT: Male germ cell differentiation is a highly regulated multistep process initiated by the commitment of progenitor cells into meiosis and characterized by major chromatin reorganizations in haploid spermatids. We report here that a single member of the double bromodomain BET factors, Brdt, is a master regulator of both meiotic divisions and post-meiotic genome repackaging. Upon its activation at the onset of meiosis, Brdt drives and determines the developmental timing of a testis-specific gene expression program. In meiotic cells, Brdt initiates a genuine histone acetylation-guided programming of the genome by activating essential meiotic genes and repressing a “progenitor cells” gene expression program, while “priming” a post-meiotic gene group for further activation. At post-meiotic stages, a global chromatin hyperacetylation gives the signal for Brdt’s first bromodomain to direct the genome-wide replacement of histones by transition proteins. Brdt is therefore a unique and essential regulator of male germ cell differentiation, which, by using various domains in a developmentally controlled manner, first drives a specific spermatogenic gene expression program, and later controls the tight packaging of the male genome.

Total RNA obtained from testes from prepuberal mice at 17dpp and at 20dpp were compared between Brdt-/- and Brdt+/- (17dpp), between Brdt-/- and Brdt +/+ (20dpp) and between BrdtBD1del and Brdt wt mice (20dpp). In each experiments, 6 replicates of each genotype and condition were used.

Nut interactome in round/elongating spermatids

Project description:NUT, nuclear protein in testis is the universal fusion partner of BRD4 in the highly aggressive NUT Midline Carcinoma (NMC), but its physiological function was unknown. Here we show that Nut is exclusively expressed in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells, at the time of genome-wide histone hyperacetylation. Inactivation of Nut induces a spermatogenesis arrest at the histone-to-protamine replacement stage, leading to male infertility. Subsequent molecular investigations show that Nut sustains global histone H4 hyperacetylation in post-meiotic cells. Additionally, Nut mediates a p300/CBP-dependent gene expression program and, by enhancing acetylation of H4 at both K5 and K8 sites, provides binding sites for the first bromodomain of Brdt, which drives histone removal. Nut’s major function is therefore to use the ubiquitous HATs p300/CBP to direct a cell-type specific histone hyperacetylation. Its ectopic activity in NMC recreates a forced p300-induced histone hyperacetylation / bromodomain binding loop that normally operates in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells.

Nut is a cell type-specific stimulator of p300 enhancing H4 hyperacetylation during haploid male genome programming

PHF7 Modulates BRDT Stability and Histone-to-Protamine Exchange during Spermiogenesis

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a complex process of sperm generation, including mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During spermiogenesis, histones in post-meiotic spermatids are removed from chromatin and replaced by protamines. Although histone-to-protamine exchange is important for sperm nuclear condensation, the underlying regulatory mechanism is still poorly understood. Here, we identify PHD finger protein 7 (PHF7) as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for histone H3K14 in post-meiotic spermatids. Generation of Phf7-deficient mice and Phf7 C160A knockin mice with impaired E3 ubiquitin ligase activity reveals defects in histone-to-protamine exchange caused by dysregulation of histone removal factor Bromodomain, testis-specific (BRDT) in early condensing spermatids. Surprisingly, E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of PHF7 on histone ubiquitination leads to stabilization of BRDT by attenuating ubiquitination of BRDT. Collectively, our findings identify PHF7 as a critical factor for sperm chromatin condensation and contribute to mechanistic understanding of fundamental phenomenon of histone-to-protamine exchange and potential for drug development for the male reproduction system.

ADAD2 regulates heterochromatin in meiotic and post-meiotic male germ cells via translation of MDC1

Project description:Male germ cells establish a unique heterochromatin domain, the XY-body, early in meiosis. How this domain is maintained through the end of meiosis and into post-meiotic germ cell differentiation is poorly understood. ADAD2 is a late meiotic male germ cell specific RNA binding protein, loss of which leads to post-meiotic germ cell defects. Analysis of ribosome association in Adad2 mutants revealed defective translation of Mdc1, a key regulator of XY-body formation, late in meiosis. As a result, Adad2 mutants show normal establishment but failed maintenance of the XY-body. Observed XY-body defects are concurrent with abnormal autosomal heterochromatin and ultimately lead to severely perturbed post-meiotic germ cell heterochromatin and cell death. These findings highlight the requirement of ADAD2 for Mdc1 translation, the role of MDC1 in maintaining meiotic male germ cell heterochromatin, and the importance of late meiotic heterochromatin for normal post-meiotic germ cell differentiation.

Meiotic gene transcription programs are mediated by A-MYB and BRDT-dependent RNA Pol II pause release during mammalian prophase I [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:During meiotic prophase I, germ cells must balance transcriptional activation with meiotic recombination and chromosome synapsis, biological processes requiring extensive changes to chromatin state and structure. Here we explored the interplay between chromatin accessibility and transcription across a detailed time-course of murine male meiosis by measuring genome-wide patterns of chromatin accessibility, transcription, and processed mRNA. To understand the relationship between these parameters of gene regulation and recombination, we integrated these data with maps of double-strand break formation. Maps of nascent transcription showed that Pol II is loaded on chromatin and maintained in a paused state early during meiosis. In pachynema, paused Pol II is released in a coordinated transcriptional burst resulting in ~3-fold increase in transcription. Release from pause is mediated by the transcription factor A-MYB and the testis-specific bromodomain protein, BRDT. The burst of transcriptional activity is both temporally and spatially segregated from key steps of meiotic recombination: double strand breaks show evidence of chromatin accessibility earlier during prophase I and at distinct loci from those undergoing transcriptional activation, despite shared chromatin marks. Our findings uncover the mechanisms of transcriptional activation and how cells compartmentalize transcription and recombination during meiosis.
