Multistate structures of the MLL1-WRAD complex bound to H2B-ubiquitinated nucleosome

ABSTRACT: The human Mixed Lineage Leukemia-1 (MLL1) complex orchestrates methylation of histone H3K4 to promote transcription and is the target of chromosomal translocations in a variety of leukemias. The MLL1 core complex comprises the MLL1 methyltransferase and the WRAD complex, which contains WDR5, RbBp5, Ash2L, and DPY-30. Recent studies have shed light on the structure and organization of the human MLL1-WRAD complex bound to nucleosomes but were not able to resolve portions of the Ash2L subunit or DPY30. We used an integrated approach combining cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry-cross linking to obtain models of the MLL1-WRAD complex bound to nucleosomes containing monoubiquitinated histone H2B, which is reported to stimulate H3K4 methylation. We constructed a model containing the Ash2L intrinsically disordered region (IDR), SPRY insertion region, and Sdc1-DPY30 interacting region (SDI-motif), as well as the DPY30 dimer, which were not resolved in previous structures. In addition to the model of the active state, we resolved three additional states of MLL1-WRAD lacking one or more subunits that may reflect different steps in the assembly of MLL1-WRAD. Our results provide a more complete picture of MLL1-WRAD and how it assembles on nucleosomes to form an active methyltransferase complex.

HP1a recruitment to promoters is independent of H3K9 methylation in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) proteins are important regulators of heterochromatin mediated gene silencing and chromosome structure and it is well known as the reader of the heterochromatin mark methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me). In Drosophila three different histone lysine methyl transferases (HKMTs) are associated with the methylation of H3K9; Su(var)3-9, Setdb1 and G9a. To gain insights on the dependence of HP1a on the three different HKMTs, the division of labor between these methyl transferases and the dependence of HP1a on H3K9me we have studied HP1a binding in relation to H3K9me in mutants of these HKMTs. We show that Su(var)3-9 is responsible for the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding in pericentromeric regions while Setdb1 controls the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding to cytological region 2L:31 and together with POF chromosome 4. HP1a binds to the promoters and within gene bodies of active genes in these three regions. More importantly, HP1a bound at promoters of active genes are independent of H3K9me and POF and is associated to heterochromatin protein 2 (HP2) and open chromatin. Our results supports a model where HP1a nucleates with high affinity independent of H3K9me in promoters of active genes and then spreads via H3K9 methylation and transient looping contacts with those H3K9me target sites. In total 44 samples; 2 replicates for each genotype and for each ChIP (HP1a, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3)

Mll2 is required for H3K4 trimethylation on bivalent promoters in ES cells whereas Mll1 is redundant

Project description:Trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) at promoters of actively transcribed genes is a universal epigenetic mark and a key product of Trithorax-Group action. Here we show that Mll2, one of the six Set1/Trithorax-type H3K4 methyltransferases in mammals, is required for trimethylation of bivalent promoters in mouse embryonic stem cells. Mll2 is bound to bivalent promoters but also to most active promoters, which do not require Mll2 for H3K4me3 or mRNA expression. In contrast, the Set1 complex (Set1C) subunit Cxxc1 is primarily bound to active but not bivalent promoters. This indicates that bivalent promoters rely on Mll2 for H3K4me3 whereas active promoters have more than one bound H3K4 methyltransferase including Set1C. Removal of Mll1, sister to Mll2, had almost no effect on any promoter unless Mll2 was also removed indicating functional back-up between these enzymes. Except for a subset, loss of H3K4me3 on bivalent promoters did not prevent responsiveness to retinoic acid thereby arguing against a priming model for bivalency. In contrast, we propose that Mll2 is the pioneer trimethyltransferase for promoter definition in the naM-CM-/ve epigenome and Polycomb-Group action on bivalent promoters blocks premature establishment of active, Set1C bound, promoters. ChIP-Seq to study MLL2 function using H3K4me3 (12 samples), H3K27me3 (4 samples), Pol2 (1 sample) or GFP (7 samples) antibody, and 6 RNA-Seq profiles

Genome-wide nucleosome positioning during embryonic stem cell development [MNase-Seq]

Project description:We determined genome-wide nucleosome occupancy in mouse embryonic stem cells and their neural progenitor and embryonic fibroblast counterparts to assess features associated with nucleosome positioning during lineage commitment. Cell type and protein specific binding preferences of transcription factors to sites with either low (e.g. Myc, Klf4, Zfx) or high (e.g. Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2) nucleosome occupancy as well as complex patterns for CTCF were identified. Nucleosome depleted regions around transcription start and termination sites were broad and more pronounced for active genes, with distinct patterns for promoters classified according to their CpG-content or histone methylation marks. Throughout the genome nucleosome occupancy was dependent on the presence of certain histone methylation or acetylation modifications. In addition, the average nucleosome-repeat length increased during differentiation by 5-7 base pairs, with local variations for specific genomic regions. Our results reveal regulatory mechanisms of cell differentiation acting through nucleosome repositioning. We have determined genome-wide nucleosome position maps in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from these ESCs by retinoic acid induced differentiation as well as mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from the corresponding mouse strain

Large-scale manipulation of promoter DNA methylation reveals context-specific transcriptional responses and stability

Project description:Cytosine DNA methylation is widely described as a transcriptional repressive mark with the capacity to silence promoters. Epigenome engineering techniques enable direct testing of the effect of induced DNA methylation on endogenous promoters, however, the downstream effects have not yet been comprehensively assessed. Here, we simultaneously induced methylation at thousands of promoters in human cells using an engineered zinc finger-DNMT3A fusion protein, enabling us to test the effect of forced DNA methylation upon transcription, chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, and DNA methylation persistence after the removal of the fusion protein. We find that DNA methylation is often not sufficient to suppress transcription which appears to be driven by the eviction of methyl-sensitive transcriptional repressors. Furthermore, we find that some regulatory networks can override DNA methylation, and that promoter methylation can cause alternative promoter usage. DNA methylation deposited at promoter and distal regulatory regions is rapidly erased after removal of the zinc finger-DNMT3A fusion protein, in a process combining active and passive demethylation. Finally, we demonstrate that induced DNA methylation can exist simultaneously on promoter nucleosomes that possess the active histone modification H3K4me3, or DNA bound by the initiated form of RNA polymerase II. These findings have important implications for epigenome engineering, and demonstrate that the response of promoters to DNA methylation are more complex than previously appreciated.

Uhrf1 regulates active transcriptional marks at bivalent domains in pluripotent stem cells through Setd1a [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) maintain pluripotency through unique epigenetic states. When ESCs commit to a specific cell lineage, changes in histone modifications and DNA methylation accompany the transition to more specialized cell types. Investigating how epigenetic regulation maintains pluripotency is a critical component in order to generate the required cell types for future clinical application. Uhrf1 is a widely known hemi-methylated DNA binding protein, playing a role in heterochromatin formation alongside G9a, Trim28 and HDACs. In addition, it has been demonstrated that Uhrf1 functions to maintain DNA methylation through the recruitment of Dnmt1. Although Uhrf1 is not essential in ESC self-renewal, it still remains elusive how Uhrf1 regulates pluripotency. Here, we set out to elucidate the role of Uhrf1 in pluripotent stem cells. We found that Uhrf1 forms a complex with the active trithorax group of transcriptional regulators, in particular the Setd1a/COMPASS complex. Our data show that loss of Uhrf1 causes a dramatic reduction of bivalent histone marks, in particular those associated with neuroectoderm and mesoderm specification. Overall, our data demonstrate that Uhrf1 safeguards the balance between pluripotency and differentiation via the Setd1a/COMPASSS complex, through which Uhrf1 mediates bivalent histone modifications.
