Project description:There is growing evidence that proteolytic cleavage of histone N-terminal tails, known as histone clipping, influences nucleosome dynamics and functional properties. Using middle-down MS analysis we characterized intact and proteolytically processed histone H3 proteoforms isolated from human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2/C3A grown in 3D culture.

Project description:The proteolytic cleavage of histone tails, also termed histone clipping, has been described as a mechanism for permanent removal of post-translational modifications (PTMs) from histone proteins. Such activity has been ascribed to ensure regulatory function in key cellular processes such as differentiation, senescence and transcriptional control for which different histone-specific proteases has been described. However, all these studies were exclusively performed using cell lines cultured in vitro and no clear evidences that histone clipping is regulated in vivo has been reported. Here we show that histone H3 N-terminal tails undergo extensive cleavage in the differentiated cells of the villi fraction of the mouse intestinal epithelium. Combining biochemical methods, 3D organoids cultures and in vivo approaches, we demonstrate that intestinal H3 clipping is the result of multiple proteolytic activities. We identified Trypsins and Cathepsin L as specific H3 tail proteases active in small intestinal differentiated cells and showed that their proteolytic activity is differentially affected by the PTM pattern of histone H3 tails. Together, our findings provide in vivo evidences of H3 tail proteolysis in mammalian tissues directly linking H3 clipping to cell differentiation.

Project description:Dysregulated epigenetic states are a hallmark of cancer and often arise from genetic alterations in epigenetic regulators. This includes missense mutations in histones, which, together with associated DNA, form nucleosome core particles. However, the oncogenic mechanisms of most histone mutations are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that cancer-associated histone mutations at arginines in the histone H3 N-terminal tail disrupt repressive chromatin domains, alter gene regulation, and dysregulate differentiation. We find that histone H3R2C and R26C mutants reduce transcriptionally repressive H3K27me3. While H3K27me3 depletion in cells expressing these mutants was exclusively observed on the minor fraction of histone tails harboring the mutations, the same mutants recurrently disrupted broad H3K27me3 domains in the chromatin context, including near developmentally regulated promoters. H3K27me3 loss led to de-repression of differentiation pathways, with concordant effects between H3R2 and H3R26 mutants despite different proximity to the PRC2 substrate, H3K27. Functionally, H3R26C-expressing mesenchymal progenitor cells and murine embryonic stem cell-derived teratomas demonstrated impaired differentiation. Collectively, these data show that cancer-associated H3 N-terminal arginine mutations reduce PRC2 activity and disrupt chromatin-dependent developmental functions, a cancer-relevant phenotype.

Project description:CPC-NCP complexes were crosslinked using EDC and analysed by mass spectrometry. The results showed Borealin is critical for nucleosome binding made extensive contacts with NCPs, whereas Survivin interactions are mostly limited to the BIR domain and the H3 N-terminal tail as expected. Mapping the crosslinks onto the three dimensional structures of NCP and CPC suggests a model where the localisation module of the CPC together with a highly basic N-terminal tail of Borealin docks onto the acidic patch formed by H2A and H2B, a surface commonly involved in nucleosome recognition. This interaction may orient the Survivin BIR domain to facilitate binding of histone H3 tail phosphorylated at Thr3. Notably, Borealin loop residues trace along the DNA-histone interface implying its major contribution to nucleosome binding involves both protein-histone and possibly protein-DNA contacts.

Project description:We have performed a comprehensive analysis of the involvement of histone H3 and H4 residues in the regulation of chronological lifespan in yeast. Residues where substitution resulted in the most pronounced lifespan extension are all on the exposed face of the nucleosome, with the exception of H3E50, which is present on the lateral surface, between two DNA gyres. Other residues that had a more modest effect on lifespan extension were concentrated at the extremities of the H3-H4 dimer, suggesting a role in stabilizing the dimer in its nucleosome frame. Residues implicated in a reduced lifespan were buried in the histone handshake motif, suggesting that these mutations destabilize the octamer structure. All residues exposed on the disk and that caused lifespan extension are known to interact with Sir3. We find that substitution of H4K16 and H4H18 cause Sir3 to redistribute from telomeres and silent mating loci to secondary positions, often enriched for Rap1 or Abf1 binding sites, whereas H3E50 does not. The redistributed Sir3 cause transcriptional repression at most of the new loci, including of genes where null mutants were previously shown to extend chronological lifespan. The transcriptomic profiles of H4K16 and H4H18 mutant strains are very similar, and compatible with a DNA replication stress response. This is distinct from the transcriptomic profile of H3E50, which matches strong induction of oxidative phosphorylation. We propose that different clusters of H3 and H4 residues are involved in either binding to non-histone proteins, or in destabilizing the association of the nucleosome DNA, or disrupting binding of a H3-H4 dimer in the nucleosome, or disturbing the structural stability of the octamer, each category impacting on chronological lifespan through a different path.
