Project description:Chromatin immuno-precipitation using anti-Flag (Sigma) or control IgG (Millipore) antibodies in a U2OS stable cell line. ZMYM2 has the synonym ZNF198. Note: paired-end sequencing libraires were created in this experiment but only the forward (R1) reads are available in this submission. The 'LIBRARY_LAYOUT' attribute is therefore set to be 'SINGLE' ather than 'PAIRED'.
Project description:In order to investigate the functions of the zinc finger transcription regulator ZMYM2 and the different types of ZMYM2 binding complex with TRIM28 or ADNP, we generated the RNA-seq data with ZMYM2, TRIM28 or ADNP siRNA in U2OS cells and the control cases with siNT in U2OS cells as well.

Project description:The interaction between SUMO and ZMYM2 is mediated through specific motifs found in ZMYM2 that are called SIMs (SUMO interacting motifs). We found/characterised three SIMs in ZMYM2 and in vitro experiments showed that mutation in these residues prevent the interaction with SUMO. Microarray transcription profiling was done to study the effects of disrupting the multiSUMO binding activity of ZMYM2, assessing the differences in gene expression in cells expressing wild-type or SIM2 mutant version of ZMYM2.
Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) sporadically express preimplantation two-cell-stage (2C) transcripts, including MERVL endogenous retrovirus and Zscan4 cluster genes. Such 2C-like cells (2CLCs) can contribute to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues when reintroduced into early embryos. We examined global nucleosome occupancy and gene expression in 2CLCs and identified miR-344 as the noncoding molecule that positively controls 2CLC potency. We found that activation of endogenous MERVL or miR-344-2 alone is sufficient to induce 2CLCs with induction of 2C genes and an expanded potency. Mechanistically, miR-344 is activated by the 2C-state driver DUX and post-transcriptionally represses ZMYM2 and LSD1, which recruit the HDAC corepressor to MERVL LTR for transcriptional repression. Consistently, zygotic depletion of Zmym2 compromises the totipotency-to-pluripotency transition during early development. Our studies establish the novel DUX->miR-344--|Zmym2/Lsd1 axis that controls MERVL for expanded stem cell potency.
Project description:ZMYM2 is a transcriptional repressor whose role in development is largely unexplored. We found that Zmym2-/- mice show embryonic lethality by E10.5. Molecular characterization of Zmym2-/- embryos revealed two distinct defects. First, they fail to undergo DNA methylation and silencing of germline gene promoters, resulting in widespread upregulation of germline genes. Second, they fail to methylate and silence the evolutionarily youngest and most active LINE element subclasses in mice. This results in ubiquitous overexpression of LINE1 protein as well as aberrant expression of transposon-gene fusion transcripts. Interaction and colocalization data indicate that ZMYM2 homes to germline genes via binding to the non-canonical polycomb complex PRC1.6 and to transposons via the TRIM28 complex. ZMYM2-/- human embryonic stem cells also show aberrant upregulation and demethylation of young LINE elements, indicating a conserved role in repression of active transposons. ZMYM2 is thus an important new factor in DNA methylation patterning in early embryogenesis.
