Bromodomain protein BRD4 is required for estrogen receptor-dependent transcription and enhancer activation [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription. A deeper understanding of these transcriptional mechanisms may uncover novel therapeutic targets for ERα-dependent cancers. Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERα−induced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1). Consistently, BRD4 activity is required for estrogen-induced proliferation of ER+ breast and endometrial cancer cells and uterine growth in mice. Genome-wide occupancy studies revealed an enrichment of BRD4 on transcriptional start sites as well as EREs enriched for H3K27ac and demonstrate a requirement for BRD4 for H2B monoubiquitination in the transcribed region of estrogen-responsive genes. Importantly, we further demonstrate that BRD4 occupancy correlates with active mRNA transcription and is required for the production of ERα-dependent enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). These results uncover BRD4 as a central regulator of ERα function and potential therapeutic target.

H4K12ac is regulated by estrogen receptor-alpha and is associated with BRD4 function and inducible transcription

Project description:Hormone-dependent gene expression requires dynamic and coordinated epigenetic changes. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is particularly dependent upon extensive chromatin remodeling and changes in histone modifications for the induction of hormone-responsive gene expression. Our previous studies established an important role of bromodomain-containing protein-4 (BRD4) in promoting estrogen-regulated transcription and proliferation of ER+ breast cancer cells. Here, we investigated the association between genome-wide occupancy of histone H4 acetylation at lysine 12 (H4K12ac) and BRD4 in the context of estrogen-induced transcription. Similar to BRD4, we observed that H4K12ac occupancy increases near the transcription start sites (TSS) of estrogen-induced genes as well as at distal ERα binding sites in an estrogen-dependent manner. Interestingly, H4K12ac occupancy highly correlates with BRD4 binding and enhancer RNA production on ERα-positive enhancers. Consistent with an importance in estrogen-induced gene transcription, H4K12ac occupancy globally increased in ER-positive cells relative to ER-negative cells and these levels were further increased by estrogen treatment in an ERα-dependent manner. Together, these findings reveal a strong correlation between H4K12ac and BRD4 occupancy with estrogen-dependent gene transcription and further suggest that modulators of H4K12ac and BRD4 may serve as new therapeutic targets for hormone-dependent cancers. ChIP-seq profiles of H4K12ac in MCF7 cells treated with +/- estrogen treatment and MCF10A cells.

The SET Oncoprotein Promotes Estrogen-Induced Transcription by Facilitating Establishment of Active Chromatin

Project description:SET is a multifunctional histone-binding oncoprotein that regulates transcription by an unclear mechanism. Here, we show that SET enhances estrogen-dependent transcription. SET knockdown abrogates transcription of estrogen-responsive genes and their enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). In response to 17β-estradiol (E2), SET binds to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) and is recruited to estrogen receptor α (ERα)-bound enhancers and promoters at estrogen response elements (EREs). SET functions as a histone H2 chaperone that dynamically associates with H2A.Z via its acidic C-terminal domain and promotes H2A.Z incorporation, ERα, MLL1 and KDM3A loading and modulates histone methylation at EREs. SET depletion diminishes recruitment of condensin complexes to EREs and impairs E2-dependent enhancer-promoter looping. Thus, SET boosts E2-induced gene expression by establishing an active chromatin structure at ERα-bound enhancers and promoters, which is essential for transcriptional activation.

Role of Rnf40-dependent histone monoubiquitination in peripheral nervous system myelination [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:To address the role of monoubiquitination of histone H2B at lysine 120 (H2Bub1), we inactivated the responsible E3 ligase by deleting Rnf40 in developing Schwann cells. Rnf40 becomes important for proper Schwann cell development shortly before and during differentiation. Its absence in Schwann cells leads to a peripheral neuropathy. ChIP-Seq studies with H2Bub1-specific antibodies were performed on sciatic nerves from control mice and mice with a Schwann cell-specific deletion of Rnf40 to detect alterations in genomic H2Bub1 occupancy. These correlated with changes in the expression of genes associated with myelination and lipid metabolism.

Centromeric H2B monoubiquitination promotes noncoding transcription and chromatin integrity

Project description:Functional centromeres are essential for proper cell division. Centromeres are established largely by epigenetic processes resulting in incorporation of the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Here, we demonstrate the direct involvement of H2B monoubiquitination, mediated by RNF20 in humans or Brl1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in centromeric chromatin maintenance. Monoubiquinated H2B (H2Bub1) is needed for this maintenance, promoting noncoding transcription, centromere integrity and accurate chromosomal segregation. A transient pulse of centromeric H2Bub1 leads to RNA polymerase II–mediated transcription of the centromere’s central domain, coupled to decreased H3 stability. H2Bub1-deficient cells have centromere cores that, despite their intact centromeric heterochromatin barriers, exhibit characteristics of heterochromatin, such as silencing histone modifications, reduced nucleosome turnover and reduced levels of transcription. In the H2Bub1-deficient cells, centromere functionality is hampered, thus resulting in unequal chromosome segregation. Therefore, centromeric H2Bub1 is essential for maintaining active centromeric chromatin.

Cdk9 and H2Bub1 signal to Clr6-CII/Rpd3S to suppress aberrant antisense transcription

Project description:Histone H2B mono-ubiquitylation (H2Bub1) and phosphorylation of elongation factor Spt5 by cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) occur during transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), and are mutually dependent in fission yeast. How Cdk9 activity and H2Bub1 cooperate to regulate the expression of individual genes remains unclear. Here we show Cdk9 inhibition or H2Bub1 loss induces intragenic antisense transcription of distinct gene subsets; ablation of both pathways derepresses antisense transcription of over half the genome. H2Bub1 and phospho-Spt5 have similar genome-wide distributions; both are enriched in coding regions, and H2Bub1 levels are directly proportional to those of phospho-Spt5. Cdk9-dependence of antisense suppression correlates with high H2Bub1 occupancy, and with promoter-proximal RNAPII pausing. Combined reduction of Cdk9 activity and loss of H2Bub1 prevent recruitment of the histone deacetylase Clr6-CII to transcribed genes, and lead to decreased histone occupancy and increased histone acetylation within gene coding regions. These results uncover new pathways linking regulators of RNAPII transcription elongation to suppression of aberrant antisense transcription, and demonstrate novel interactions between co-transcriptional histone modification pathways.
