G9a-Mediated Methylation of ERα Links the PHF20/MOF Histone Acetyltransferase Complex to Hormonal Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: The euchromatin histone methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2, aka G9a) methylates histone H3K9 to repress gene expression, but it also acts as a coactivator for some nuclear receptors. The molecular mechanisms underlying this activation remain elusive. Here we show that G9a functions as a bona fide coactivator of the endogenous estrogen receptor α (ERα) in breast cancer cells in a histone methylation-independent manner. G9a dimethylates ERα protein at lysine 235 both in vitro and in cells. Dimethylation of ERαK235 (ERαK235me2) is recognized by the Tudor domain of PHF20, which in turn recruits the MOF histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex to ERα target gene promoters to deposit histone H4K16 acetylation promoting active transcription. Together, our in vitro and in vivo data establish the molecular mechanism by which G9a functions as an ERα coactivator. Along with the PHF20/MOF complex, G9a links the crosstalk between ERα methylation and histone acetylation governing the epigenetic regulation of hormonal gene expression.

Loss of PHF20 does not negatively affect deposition of H4K16 acetylation, but does impact the expression of MOF targets

Project description:Protein post-translational modifications transmit signals in part by creating binding sites for effector molecules. This is especially true in epigenetic pathways where histone tails are heavily modified, resulting in the recruitment of molecules that can affect transcription. One such molecule, plant homeodomain finger protein 20 (PHF20), uses a Tudor domain to read dimethyl-lysine residues and is a known component of the MOF histone acetyltransferase protein complex, suggesting it plays a role in the crosstalk between lysine methylation and histone acetylation. We sought to investigate the biological role of PHF20 by generating a knockout mouse. Without PHF20, mice die shortly after birth and display a wide variety of phenotypes within the skeletal and hematopoietic systems. Mechanistically, PHF20 is not required for maintaining the global H4K16 acetylation levels, but instead works downstream in transcriptional regulation of MOF target genes.

PHF20 readers link methylation of histone H3K4 and p53 with H4K16 acetylation

Project description:PHF20 is a core component of the lysine acetyltransferase complex MOF-NSL that produces the major epigenetic mark, H4K16ac, and is necessary for transcriptional regulation and DNA repair, however the role of PHF20 in the complex remains elusive. Here, we report on functional crosstalk between epigenetic readers of PHF20. We show that the PHF20 PHD finger recognizes dimethylated lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me2) and represents first example of a native PHD reader selective for this modification. Biochemical and structural analyses illuminate the molecular mechanism underlying this function and explain the preference of Tudor2, another reader in PHF20, for dimethylated p53. Binding of the PHD finger to H3K4me2 is required for histone acetylation, accumulation of PHF20 at target genes, and transcriptional activation. Together, our findings establish a novel PHF20-mediated link between MOF HAT, p53 and H3K4me2-dependent cellular events and suggest a model for rapid spreading of H4K16ac-encriched open chromatin.

MOF forms a positive feedback regulation with ERα to suppress endometrial cancer progression

Project description:MOF is a histone acetyltransferase specific for H4K16 acetylation. It has been demonstrated that MOF is lower expressed in series of human cancers. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the detailed biological function of MOF in endometrial carcinomas (ECa) has not been fully defined. The estrogen receptor α (ERα) action plays a crucial role in endometrial cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Here, our data have demonstrated that estrogen/ERα induces MOF gene transcription, meanwhile MOF stabilizes ERα via acetylating ERα in ECa, indicating that MOF forms a positive feedback loop with ERα. In the whole genome-wide level, RNA microarray analyses have shown that MOF modulates a subset of endogenous ERα-regulated genes, such as apoptosis associated factor DRAM1 and oncogene FXYD3. Knockdown of MOF leads to a G2/M cell cycle arrest and promotes ECa cell growth and proliferation. MOF depletion promotes xenograft tumor growth in mice. In addition, our results have demonstrated that MOF expression is lower in ECa than that in benign endometrial tissues. Importantly, the expression of MOF is positively correlated with that of ERα in clinical samples. Cumulatively, our results suggest a positive feedback regulation involving MOF and ERα is essential for suppression of endometrial cancer.

ChIP-seq analysis of PHF20 and Wdr5 binding sites in ESCs

Project description:Although reprogramming of somatic cells to generate inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is associated with remarkable epigenetic changes, the role and mechanisms of epigenetic factors in this process remains poorly understood. Here we describe identification of Jmjd3 as a potent negative regulator of reprogramming. Jmjd3-deficient MEFs produced significantly more iPSC colonies than did wild-type cells, while ectopic expression of Jmjd3 markedly inhibited reprogramming. We further show that the inhibitory effects of Jmjd3 are produced through both histone demethylase-dependent and -independent pathways acting in concert. The latter pathway is entirely novel and involved Jmjd3 targeting of PHF20 for ubiquitination and degradation by recruiting an E3 ligase Trim26. Importantly, PHF20-deficient MEFs could not be converted to fully reprogrammed iPSCs, even with knockdown of Jmjd3, Ink4a or p21, indicating dominant effects of this protein on reprogramming. Our findings identify a previously unrecognized role of Jmjd3 in reprogramming and provide molecular insight into the mechanisms by which the Jmjd3-PHF20 axis controls the reprogramming process. This study was an examination of phf20 and wdr5 binding patterns in embryonic stem cells, using a ChIP-Sequencing methodology with antibodies for each of these factors in the cell lines indicated.

Methyl-lysine readers PHF20 and PHF20L1 define two distinct NSL complexes

Project description:The methyl lysine readers PHF (plant homeodomain finger) 20 (PHF20) and its homolog PHF20 Like 1 (PHF20L1) are known components of the NSL (non-specific lethal) complex that regulates gene expression through its histone acetyltransferase activity. In the current model, both PHF homologs coexist in the same NSL complex although this was not formally tested; nor have the functions of PHF20 and PHF20L1 regarding NSL complex integrity and transcriptional regulation been investigated. Here we perform an in-depth biochemical and functional characterization of PHF20 and PHF20L1 in the context of the NSL complex. We identify the existence of two distinct NSL complexes that exclusively contain either PHF20 or PHF20L1; the two PHF homologs do not complex together in the same NSL species. Our data show that the C-terminal domains are essential for PHF20 and PHF20L1 to complex with NSL and the Tudor 2 domains of PHF20 and PHF20L1 are required for chromatin binding. The genome-wide landscape of PHF20/PHF20L1 binding to chromatin shows that they bind mostly to the same genomic regions, at promoters of highly expressed/housekeeping genes. Yet, deletion of PHF20 and PHF20L1 does not abrogate gene expression of the identified targets or impact the recruitment of NSL to the promoters of those genes, suggesting the existence of an alternative mechanism that compensates for the transcription of genes whose sustained expression is important for critical cellular functions.
