PHF19 drives the formation of PRC2 clusters to enhance motility in TNBC cells

ABSTRACT: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a key regulator of transcriptional repression and chromatin organization, essential in development and disease. While its enzymatic activity is well characterized, the factors governing PRC2 subnuclear organization, particularly in cancer cells, are largely unknown. Here, we integrate in situ subcellular proteomics, high-resolution imaging, and functional genomics to investigate PRC2 compartmentalization in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. We identify PHF19, a sub-stoichiometric PRC2 accessory subunit as upregulated in TNBC, and central to the formation of endogenous, micron-scale nuclear PRC2 clusters. These structures act as spatial hubs that stabilize local PRC2 occupancy and reinforce H3K27me3 macro-domain organization. Mechanistically, an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) in PHF19 is required for clustering and for promoting TNBC cell motility. Our findings uncover a non-enzymatic layer of PRC2 regulation, where local PRC2 compartmentalization through accessory subunits, directly influences cellular behavior, with implications for disease and development.

PHF19 drives PRC2 sub-nuclear compartmentalization to promote motility in TNBC cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), a master regulator of gene expression and chromatin organization, is frequently hijacked in aggressive malignancies such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we identify a distinct spatial organization of PRC2 in TNBC cells, where the complex assembles into micron-sized nuclear bodies. Using high-resolution spatial proteomics on these endogenous compartments, we identify PHD Finger Protein 19 (PHF19) as the central driver of these structures. We further demonstrate that an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) within PHF19 promotes its clustering into nuclear bodies and link this spatial organization to enhanced cell motility. These findings shed light on a previously unrecognized layer of PRC2 regulation in TNBC cells, demonstrating how its subnuclear compartmentalization, shaped by accessory subunits, orchestrates functional outcomes critical for cancer progression.

Mtf2-PRC2 control of canonical Wnt signaling is required for definitive erythropoiesis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) accessory proteins play substoichiometric, tissue-specific roles to recruit PRC2 to specific genomic loci or increase enzymatic activity, while PRC2 core proteins are required for complex stability and global levels of trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Here, we demonstrate a role for the classical PRC2 accessory protein Mtf2/Pcl2 in the hematopoietic system that is more akin to that of a core PRC2 protein. Mtf2-/- erythroid progenitors demonstrate markedly decreased core PRC2 protein levels and a global loss of H3K27me3 at promoter-proximal regions. The resulting de-repression of transcriptional and signaling networks blocks definitive erythroid development, culminating in Mtf2-/- embryos dying by e15.5 due to severe anemia. Gene regulatory network (GRN) analysis demonstrated Mtf2 directly regulates Wnt signaling in erythroblasts, leading to activated canonical Wnt signaling in Mtf2-deficient erythroblasts, while chemical inhibition of canonical Wnt signaling rescued Mtf2-deficient erythroblast differentiation in vitro. Using a combination of in vitro, in vivo and systems analyses, we demonstrate that Mtf2 is a critical epigenetic regulator of Wnt signaling during erythropoiesis and recast the role of polycomb accessory proteins in a tissue-specific context.

Tracking Epigenetic Modification-Mediated Genome Organization

Project description:Spatiotemporal control of chromatin structure and dynamics at sub-kilobase to megabase scales is essential for genome function. Epigenetic modification plays important roles in transcriptional regulation. How histone marks regulate genome organization at different scales remain unclear. Here we introduce an EpiGo (Epigenetic perturbation induced Genome organization) system to modify hundreds of genomic loci with H3K9me3 spanning megabases on human chromosome 19 and simultaneously track their changes of genome organization. EpiGo-mediated H3K9me3 spreads more extensively in transcriptionally inactive regions than active regions. H3K9 trimethylation of active regions trigger local chromatin compaction without substantial gene silencing. H3K9 trimethylated loci or regions associate with HP1a condensates and adjacent loci with H3K9me3 coalesce over time. H3K9 trimethylation of inactive regions reshape local genome compartmentalization. These results reveal that H3K9me3 mediates local chromatin compaction or genome compartmentalization upon distinct transcriptional states.

Polycomb Mediated Chromatin Organization Reveals Transcriptional Silencers Required for Embryonic Development

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a key regulator of metazoan development, induces transcriptional silencing by organizing repressive chromatin structures. To understand PRC2 associated genome topology, we performed chromatin interaction analyses focusing on three core subunits of PRC2 in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Our comprehensive and high-resolution PRC2 interactome reveals connectivity networks manifested by the extensive looping between distal regulatory elements (DREs) and genes controlling differentiation. The deletion of these non-coding DREs in mice results in transcriptional de-repression and embryonic lethality. While functioning as silencers in ESCs, these DREs can transition into active enhancers during development, suggesting their dual regulatory activities. Integrative analysis of the three dimensional genome organization and spatial clusters of PRC2-chromatin hubs reveals the compact, peripheral assembly as the structural basis of the silencing compartments. Our study uncovers the molecular identity of PRC2 silencers, their associated genome architectures, and offers the exciting possibility of targeted re-activation of epigenetically silenced genes.
