Nucleoporin-mediated regulation of cell identity genes

ABSTRACT: The organization of the genome in the three-dimensional space of the nucleus is coupled with cell type-specific gene expression. However, how nuclear architecture influences transcription that governs cell identity remains unknown. Here, we show that Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) components Nup93 and Nup153 bind super-enhancers (SE), regulatory structures that drive the expression of key genes that specify cell identity. We found that nucleoporin-associated SEs localize preferentially to the nuclear periphery, and absence of Nup153 and Nup93 results in dramatic transcriptional changes of SE-associated genes. Our results reveal a crucial role of NPC components in the regulation of cell type specifying genes and highlight nuclear architecture as a regulatory layer of genome functions in cell fate.

Nucleoporin 153 links nuclear pore complex to chromatin architecture by mediating CTCF and cohesin binding [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Establishment of cell lineage specification, maintenance of cellular states and cellular responses to developmental cues rely on gene regulation and spatial genome organization during early development. Emerging data point to highly coordinated activity between epigenetic mechanisms that involve nuclear architecture, chromatin structure and chromatin organization. We show that the nuclear pore complex (NPC) basket protein, Nucleoporin 153 (NUP153) interacts with the nuclear architectural proteins, CTCF and cohesin, and mediates their binding across cis-regulatory elements in pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. NUP153 depletion results in altered occupancy of architectural proteins coupled with differential changes in transcription. This affect is most prevalent at the bivalent genes. To provide molecular insights onto NUP153-mediated gene regulation, we utilized Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)-inducible immediate early gene (IEG) loci, which we identified as NUP153 targets. IEG transcription is regulated through a POL II pause-release mechanism. We provide evidence that NUP153 is critical for CTCF and cohesin occupancy and subsequent POL II recruitment to the IEG proximal-promoter sites during the paused state. In particular, establishment of a poised IEG chromatin environment relies on co-regulatory function of NUP153 and CTCF, which underlies efficient and timely IEG transcription at the NPC. Our results uncover a key role for the mammalian NPC in distribution of chromatin architectural proteins and demonstrate that NUP153 acts as a cis-acting factor that causally links the NPC to chromatin organization during transcription regulation.

Nucleoporin Nup153 Regulates Stem Cell Pluripotency through Gene Silencing

Project description:Nucleoporins (Nups) are a family of proteins best known as the constituent building blocks of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), the transport channels that mediate nuclear transport. Recent evidence suggest that several Nups have additional roles in controlling the activation and silencing of developmental genes, however, the mechanistic details of these functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show that depletion of Nup153 in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) causes the de-repression of developmental genes and induction of early differentiation. This loss of pluripotency is not associated with defects in global nucleo-cytoplasmic transport activity. Instead, Nup153 binds to the transcriptional start site (TSS) of developmental genes and mediates the recruitment of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) to its target loci. Our results reveal a nuclear transport-independent role of Nup153 in maintaining stem cell pluripotency and introduce a role of NPC proteins in mammalian epigenetic gene silencing.

Super-enhancer trapping by the nuclear pore via intrinsically disordered regions of proteins in squamous cell carcinoma cells

Project description:Master transcription factors such as TP63 establish super-enhancers (SEs) to drive core transcriptional networks in cancer cells, yet the spatiotemporal regulation of SEs within the nucleus remains unknown. The nuclear pore complex (NPC) may tether SEs to the nuclear pore where RNA export rates are maximal. Here, we report that NUP153, a component of the NPC, anchors SEs to the NPC and enhances TP63 expression by maximizing mRNA export. This anchoring is mediated through protein-protein interaction between the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of NUP153 and the coactivator BRD4. Silencing of NUP153 excludes SEs from the nuclear periphery, decreases TP63 expression, impairs cellular growth, and induces epidermal differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma. Overall, this work reveals the critical roles of NUP153 IDRs in the regulation of SE localization, thus providing insights into a new layer of gene regulation at the epigenomic and spatial level.

Core components of the nuclear pore bind distinct states of chromatin and contribute to Polycomb repression II

Project description:Interactions between the genome and the nuclear pore complex (NPC) have been implicated in multiple gene regulatory processes, but the underlying logic of these interactions remains poorly defined. Here, we report high-resolution chromatin binding maps of two core components of the NPC, Nup107 and Nup93, which reveal differential binding of these NPC subunits to active genes and Polycomb-covered silent regions, respectively. Comparison to Lamin-associated domains (LADs) revealed that NPC binding sites are often found within LADs, demonstrating a linear binding of the genome along the nuclear envelope. Significantly, we identified a functional role of Nup93 in silencing of Polycomb target genes and in spatial folding of Polycomb domains. Our findings lend to a model where nuclear pores bind different types of chromatin via interactions with specific core sub-complexes of the NPC, and the Nup93 sub-complex functions as a stabilizing scaffold for Polycomb domains.

The nucleoporin Nup50 activates the Ran guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 to promote NPC assembly at the end of mitosis

Project description:During mitotic exit, thousands of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) assemble concomitant with the nuclear envelope to build a transport-competent nucleus. Here, we show that Nup50 plays a crucial role in NPC assembly independent of its well-established function in nuclear transport. RNAi-mediated downregulation in cells or immunodepletion of Nup50 protein in Xenopus egg extracts interferes with NPC assembly. We define a conserved central region of 46 residues in Nup50 that is crucial for Nup153 and MEL28/ELYS binding, and for NPC interaction. Surprisingly, neither NPC interaction nor binding of Nup50 to importin /, the GTPase Ran, or chromatin is crucial for its function in the assembly process. Instead, an N-terminal fragment of Nup50 can stimulate the Ran GTPase guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 and NPC assembly, indicating that Nup50 acts via the Ran system in NPC reformation at the end of mitosis. In support of this conclusion, Nup50 mutants defective in RCC1 binding and stimulation cannot replace the wild-type protein in in vitro NPC assembly assays, while excess RCC1 can compensate the loss of Nup50.

Nup93 modulates spatiotemporal dynamics and function of the HOXA gene cluster during differentiation

Project description:The central role of nucleoporins is to transport RNA and proteins. In addtion, nucleoporins are also involved in gene regulation. Furthermore, nucleoporins - Nup93, Nup153, Nup98 and Nup210, directly associate with developmental genes and regulate developmental processes by direct association with developmental genes. Here, we identified genome wide binding profile of Nup93 - a core component of the nuclear pore complex in colorectal cancer cell line DLD-1 by ChIP-seq. Our ChIP-seq analysis revealed significant association of Nup93 with developmental genes and known enhancer marks such as H3K4me1 and H3K27Ac . We found that Nup93 shares binding sites with CTCF - the well known chromatin organizer, suggesting a functional overlap between Nup93 and CTCF in the organization and regulation of developmental gene expression such as the the HOXA gene cluster.

Nucleoporin-93 overexpression overcomes trafficking bottlenecks in metastasis of breast cancer

Project description:The integrative computational analysis we developed has assigned NUP93 with important roles in progression of mammary cancer, which we confirmed in animals. Surprisingly, NUP93 emerges from these studies as a master driver of metastasis. This conclusion was supported by functional characterization of two groups of naturally occurring mutant alleles. Remarkably, mammary cells overexpressing NUP93 display over-activation of multiple growth factor pathways, including the WNT/beta-catenin pathway. This route has previously been associated with colorectal tumors, but recent network-based analysis linked it to breast cancer (Koval and Katanaev, 2018). We conclude that NUP93 integrates and enhances not only WNT but also additional growth factor signals. Thus, by seizing an essential step common to multiple signaling routes, NUP93 acquires robust oncogenic attributes. Beyond the identification of augmented nuclear transport as a new hallmark of cancer, our study exposes tumor vulnerabilities and offers not only a new target for intervention but also a pharmacological strategy tailored to the subset of NUP93 overexpressors.
