Rlf, a widely-spaced zinc finger protein, is involved in maintaining epigenetic marks at CpG island shores and enhancer elements across the genome

ABSTRACT: We recently identified a novel protein, Rearranged L-myc fusion (Rlf), that is required for DNA hypomethylation (and transcriptional activity) at certain regions of the mouse genome known to be sensitive to epigenetic gene silencing. Here we report the analysis of 12 whole genome bisulphite sequencing datasets across three different embryonic tissues/stages from mice with and without Rlf. We find that its absence has effects at thousands of differentially methylated regions.

A role for Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) in retention of the G9a methyltransferase on chromatin

Project description:G9a and GLP lysine methyltransferases form a heterodimeric complex that is responsible for the bulk of cellular mono- and di-methylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me1/me2). Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) associates with the G9a/GLP protein complex, but its role in lysine methylation is poorly defined. Here, we show that WIZ regulates global H3K9me2 levels through a mechanism that involves retention of G9a on chromatin. We also show that WIZ-mediated chromatin loss of G9a/GLP results in altered gene expression and protein-protein interactions that are distinguishable from that of using a molecule-induced enzymatic inhibitor towards G9a/GLP – thus providing evidence that the G9a/GLP/WIZ complex has unique functions when bound to chromatin that are independent of the H3K9me2 mark DMSO, UNC0638, NS, and siWIZ treatments to HEK293T cells, assessing G9a and H3K9me2 localization, each performed in duplicate, plus one input control for each cell condition. 30 samples total.

DNA hypermethylation encroachment at CpG island borders in cancer is predisposed by H3K4 monomethylation [WGBS_Hs]

Project description:DNA methylation plays a key role in demarcation of regulatory regions, including promoter-associated CpG islands. While CpG islands are typically maintained in an unmethylated state in normal cells, a proportion of CpG islands are subject to hypermethylation in cancer cells. It still remains elusive how the exquisite demarcation of the bimodal methylation state is established and maintained at the CpG island flanks and conversely what triggers the erosion of CpG island DNA methylation in tumorigenesis. Here, we applied whole-genome bisulphite sequencing to study the comprehensive methylation patterns of prostate normal and cancer tissues. Alongside we performed TET-assisted bisulphite sequencing to study genome-wide DNA hydroxymethylation patterns of normal prostate and prostate cancer tissues.

Zinc finger protein 521 overexpression is a feature of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia and contributes to the maintenance of myeloid differentiation block

Project description:ZNF521 is a multiple zinc finger transcription factor previously identified because abundantly and selectively expressed in normal CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. From microarray datasets, aberrant expression of ZNF521 has been reported in both pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with MLL gene rearrangements. However, a proper validation of microarray data is lacking, likewise ZNF521 contribution in MLL-rearranged AML is still uncertain. In this study, we show that ZNF521 is significantly upregulated in MLL translocated AML patients from a large pediatric cohort, regardless of the type of MLL translocations such as MLL-AF9, MLL-ENL, MLL-AF10 and MLL-AF6 fusion genes. Our in vitro functional studies demonstrate that ZNF521 play a critical role in the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of MLL-rearranged cells. Furthermore, analysis of the ZNF521 gene promoter region shows that ZNF521 is a direct downstream target of both MLL-AF9 and MLL-ENL fusion proteins. Gene expression profiling of MLL-AF9-rearranged THP-1 cells after depletion of ZNF521 reveals correlation with several expression signatures including stem cell-like and MLL fusion dependent programs. These data suggest that MLL fusion proteins activate ZNF521 expression to maintain the undifferentiated state and contribute to leukemogenesis. ZNF521 is required to block differentiation in MLL-rearranged AML cells

MIR sequences recruit zinc finger protein ZNF768 to expressed genes

Project description:Mammalian-wide interspersed repeats (MIRs) are retrotransposed elements of mammalian genomes. Here we report the specific binding of zinc finger protein ZNF768 to the sequence motif GCTGTGTG (N20) CCTCTCTG in the core region of MIRs. ZNF768 binding is preferentially associated with euchromatin and promoter regions of genes. Binding was observed for genes expressed in a cell type-specific manner in human B cell line Raji and osteosarcoma U2OS cells. Mass spectrometric analysis of ZNF768 associated proteins revealed binding of ZNF768 to Elongator subunits 1, 2, and 3. The N-terminus of ZNF768 contains a heptad repeat array structurally related to the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. This array evolved in placental animals but not marsupials and monotreme species, displays species-specific length variations, and possibly fulfills CTD related functions in gene regulation. We propose that the evolution of MIRs and ZNF768 has extended the repertoire of gene regulatory mechanisms in mammals and that ZNF768 binding is associated with cell type-specific gene expression.
