Project description:Differences in global levels of histone acetylation occur in normal and cancer cells, although the reason cells regulate these levels has remained unclear. Here we demonstrate a role for histone acetylation in regulating intracellular pH (pHi). As pHi decreases, histones are globally deacetylated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and the released acetate anions are co-exported with protons out of the cell by monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), preventing further reductions in pHi. Conversely, global histone acetylation increases at more alkaline pHi, such as when resting cells are induced to proliferate. Inhibition of HDACs or MCTs decreases acetate export and lowers pHi, particularly compromising pHi maintenance in acidic environments. Global deacetylation at low pH is reflected at a genomic level by decreased abundance and extensive redistribution of acetylation at promoters and intergenic regions. Thus acetylation of chromatin functions as a rheostat to regulate pHi with important implications for therapeutic use of HDAC inhibitors. To investigate the redistribution of H4K16ac throughout the genome upon treatment at pH 6.5

Project description:In addition to acetylation, histones are modified by a series of competing longer chain acylations. Most of these acylation marks are enriched and co-exist with acetylation on active gene regulatory elements. Their seemingly redundant functions have hindered the understanding of histone acylations’ specific roles. Here, by using an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) cell model and blasts from B-ALL patients, we demonstrate a role for mitochondrial activity in controlling histone acylation/acetylation ratio, especially at H4K5. An increase of the crotonylation and butyrylation over acetylation on H4K5 weakens BRD4-chromatin interaction and increases BRD4 nuclear mobility and availability for binding transcription start site associated nucleosome free regions of active genes. Our data suggest that, with regard to BRD4 dynamics, histone acylations including acetylation, should be considered collectively. A metabolism dependant control of the histone acetylation/longer chain acylation(s) ratio could constitute a common mechanism regulating bromodomain factors’ “reservoir” pool, availability and functional genomic distribution.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells play crucial roles in suppressing deleterious immune response. Here, we investigate how mechanistically Treg cells are induced and stabilized via transcriptional regulation of Treg lineage–specifying factor Foxp3. Acetylation of histone tails in the Foxp3 locus is induced during Treg cell development and required in cis for the initiation of Foxp3 transcription. Upon induction, histone acetylation signal largely acts in trans to sustain Foxp3 transcription via multiple factors. Subsequently, Tet-mediated DNA demethylation of Foxp3 cis-regulatory elements particularly enhancer CNS2 increases chromatin accessibility and protein binding, drastically stabilizing Foxp3 transcription, although histone acetylation still regulates global gene expression. These processes transform stochastic Treg cell induction into a stable cell fate, with the former sensitive and latter resistant to genetic and environmental perturbations. Thus, our study reveals distinct roles of histone acetylation in Foxp3 induction and maintenance, reflecting sequential mechanical switches governing Treg cell lineage specification.
