Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway is down-regulated in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and contributes to the block of myogenic differentiation. Epigenetic mechanisms leading to its suppression are unknown and could pave the way towards novel therapeutic modalities. In this study, we demonstrate that the lysine methyltransferase G9a suppresses the canonical Wnt signalling pathway by activating expression of the Wnt antagonist DKK1. Inhibition of G9a expression or activity reduced DKK1 expression and elevated canonical Wnt signalling resulting in myogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, G9a impacted Sp1 and p300 enrichment at the DKK1 promoter in a methylation-dependent manner. The reduced tumor growth upon G9a deficiency was reversed by recombinant DKK1 or LGK974, which also inhibits Wnt signaling. Consistently, among thirteen drugs targeting chromatin modifiers, G9a inhibitors were highly effective in reducing ERMS cell viability. Together, our study demonstrates that ERMS cells are vulnerable to G9a inhibitors and suggest that targeting the G9a-DKK1--catenin node holds promise for differentiation therapy.

Project description:Gene expression in eukaryotes is tightly linked to the methylation state of specific lysine residues within the N-terminal region of the core histone proteins. While the mechanisms connecting histone lysine methylation to effector protein recruitment and control of gene activity are increasingly well understood, it remains unknown whether non-histone chromatin proteins are targets for similar modification-recognition systems. Here we show that histone H3 and the H3 methyltransferase G9a share a conserved methylation motif that is both necessary and sufficient to mediate in vivo interaction with the potent epigenetic regulator Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1). As with H3, G9a-HP1 interaction is dependent on lysine methylation and can be reversed by adjacent phosphorylation. NMR analysis demonstrates that the HP1 chromodomain recognizes methyl-G9a through a binding mode similar to that used in recognition of methyl-H3, and that adjacent phosphorylation directly antagonizes G9a-HP1 interaction. In addition to uncovering the chromodomain as a generalized methyl-lysine binding module, these data identify histone-like modification cassettes (or âhistone mimicsâ) as an entirely new class of non-histone methylation targets, and directly demonstrate the relevance of the principles underlying the histone code to the regulation of non-histone proteins. Experiment Overall Design: Two independent Affymetrix gene expression microarray analyses were performed on samples from G9a-deleted MEFs reconstituted with empty vector (delta), wild type FLAG-G9a (WT), FLAG-G9a K165A (K165A) or FLAG-G9a H1093K catalytic mutant (H1093K).

Project description:A549 lung cancer cells were not infected (NI), transfected by plasmids containing shG9a (sequence targeting G9a gene) or shNS (non-specific sequence). These cells were treated with dex to identify subsets of genes regulated by dex (hormone) and G9a (EHMT2) Cells (NI/shNS/shG9a) were treated with 100nM dex for 24h and total RNA was extracted to identify differentially expressed genes

Project description:G9a (EHMT2) and the G9a-like protein GLP (EHMT1) form a stable G9a/GLP heterodimer in embryonic stem cells and function cooperatively to establish and maintain the abundant repressive H3K9me2 modification, in addition to modifying several non-histone proteins. The G9a-dependent H3K9me2 is implicated in lineage-specific gene silencing and covers large chromosomal domains. While the mechanism of H3K9me2maintenance by G9a/GLP is known, how new patterns of this modification are established is not well understood. With this in mind, we used FLAG affinity purification of G9a under two different stringency conditions (150 and 300 mM NaCl) coupled with mass spectrometry to identify proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP, which could serve as potential recruiters of the complex to unmodified chromatin.

Project description:In differentiated cells, inhibition of methyltransferases G9a and GLP eliminated H3K9me2 predominantly at A-type genomic compartments, and the remaining H3K9me2 marks were strongly associated with B-type compartments and lamina-associated domains (LADs). However, inhibition of G9a/GLP in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) removed most of the H3K9me2 modifications in both A and B compartments. Furthermore, chemical inhibition of G9a/GLP in mouse hepatocytes decreased chromatin-nuclear lamina (NL) interactions, increased the degree of genomic compartmentalization and the boundary strength of topologically associating domains (TADs) between A and B compartments, and altered the expression of hundreds of genes that were associated with alterations of chromatin structure.

For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We aim to determine the locations of the major histone modifications across the Drosophila melanogaster genome.

We will perform Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (ChIP) using genomic tiling arrays. We will initially assay localizations using chromatin from three cell lines and two embryonic stages, and will then extend the analysis of a subset of proteins to four additional animal tissues/stages.

Project description:We report a novel translation-regulatory function of G9a, a histone methyltransferase and well-understood transcriptional repressor, in promoting hyperinflammation and lymphopenia; two hallmarks of endotoxin tolerance (ET)-associated chronic inflammatory complications. Using multiple approaches, we demonstrate that G9a interacts with multiple translation regulators during ET, particularly the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methyltransferase METTL3, to co-upregulate expression of certain m6A-modified mRNAs that encode immune-checkpoint and anti-inflammatory proteins. Mechanistically, G9a promotes m6A methyltransferase activity of METTL3 at translational/post-translational level by regulating its expression, its methylation, and its cytosolic localization during ET. Additionally, from a broader view extended from the G9a-METTL3-m6A translation regulatory axis, our translatome proteomics approach identified numerous “G9a-translated” proteins that unite the networks associated with inflammation dysregulation, T cell dysfunction, and systemic cytokine response. In sum, we identified a previously unrecognized function of G9a in protein-specific translation that can be leveraged to treat ET-related chronic inflammatory diseases.
