Isoform switch of TET1 regulates DNA demethylation and mouse development

ABSTRACT: The methylcytosine oxidase TET proteins play important roles in DNA demethylation and development. However, it remains elusive how exactly they target substrates and execute oxidation. Interestingly, we found that in mice, the full-length TET1 isoform (TET1e) is restricted to early embryos, ESCs and PGCs. By contrast, a short isoform (TET1s) is preferentially expressed in somatic cells which lacks the N-terminus including the CXXC domain, a DNA-binding module that often recognizes CpG islands (CGIs) where TET1 predominantly occupies. Unexpectedly, TET1s can still bind CGIs, despite the fact that its global chromatin binding is significantly reduced. Interestingly, the global chromatin binding, but not the targeted binding at CGIs, is correlated with TET1 mediated demethylation. Finally, mice with exclusive expression of Tet1s failed to erase imprints in PGCs and displayed developmental defects in progeny. These data show that isoform switch of TET1 regulates epigenetic memory erasure and mouse development.

A novel isoform of TET1 that lacks a CXXC domain is overexpressed in cancer

Project description:TET1 oxidizes methylated cytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, resulting in regulation of DNA methylation and gene expression. Full length TET1 (TET1FL) has a CXXC domain that binds to unmethylated stretches of CpG dinucleotides known as CpG islands (CGIs). This CXXC domain allows TET1 to protect CGIs from aberrant methylation but it also limits its ability to regulate genes outside of CGIs. Here we report a novel isoform of TET1 (TET1ALT) that has a unique transcription start site from an alternate promoter in intron 2, yielding a protein with a unique translation start site. Importantly, TET1ALT lacks the CXXC domain but retains the catalytic domain. TET1ALT is silenced in ESCs but becomes activated in embryonic and adult tissues while TET1FL is expressed in ESCs, but repressed in adult tissues. Overexpression of TET1ALT shows production of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine with distinct (and weaker) effects on DNA methylation or gene expression when compared to TET1FL. TET1ALT (but not TET1FL) is aberrantly activated in multiple cancer types including breast cancer, lung cancer and lymphomas. Our data suggest that the predominantly expressed isoform of TET1 in cancer cells does not protect from CGI methylation and likely mediates dynamic site specific demethylation outside of CGIs.

TET1 is a maintenance DNA demethylase that prevents methylation spreading in adult cells [MeDIP-Seq]

Project description:We report that full length TET1 (TET1-FL) overexpression fails to induce global DNA demethylation in HEK293T cells. The preferential binding of TET1-FL to hypomethylated CpG islands (CGIs) through its CXXC domain leads to its inhibited 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) production as methylation level increases. TET1-FL-induced 5hmC accumulates at CGI edges, while TET1 knockdown induces methylation spreading from methylated edges into hypomethylated CGIs. However, TET1 can regulate gene transcription independent of its dioxygenase catalytic function. Thus, our results identify TET1 as a maintenance DNA demethylase that does not purposely decrease methylation levels, but specifically maintains the DNA hypomethylation state of CGIs in adult cells. hMeDIP-seq analysis of genomic 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in HEK293T cells overexpressing mTET1-CD, TET1-CD, mTET1-FL, or TET1-FL

Replication-coupled passive DNA demethylation for the erasure of genome imprints in mice

Project description:Genome-wide DNA demethylation, including the erasure of genome imprints, in primordial germ cells (PGCs), is critical as a first step for creating the totipotent epigenome in the germ line. Here, we provide evidence that contrary to the prevailing model involving active DNA demethylation, imprint erasure in mouse PGCs occurs in a manner consistent with replication-coupled passive DNA demethylation: PGCs erase imprints during their rapid proliferation with little de novo as well as maintenance DNA methylation potential and no major chromatin alterations. Our findings necessitate the re-evaluation of and provide novel insights into the mechanism of genome-wide DNA demethylation in PGCs.
