Project description:Here, we report that ATRX co-localizes with the H3K9-methyl transferase SETDB1 (also known as ESET), the co-repressor TRIM28 (also known as KAP1), and the transcription factor ZNF274 at 3â exons of Zinc Finger Genes (ZNFs) containing an atypical H3K9me3/H3K36me3 chromatin signature. Disruption of ATRX and ZNF274 leads to a significant reduction of H3K9me3, particularly at the 3â ZNF exons and other atypical chromatin regions, higher percentages of DNA damage, and defects in cell cycle. Taken together, our studies suggest that ATRX binds the 3â exons of ZNFs to maintain genomic stability through the regulation of their H3K9me3 levels XL-MNase ChIP-seq of ATRX was performed in the erythroleukemic cell line K562 and the Neuroblastoma cell line LAN6. Two independent replicates using different ATRX antibodies were performed in K562. Additionally, Native ChIP-seq of H3K9me3 in LAN6, ATRX WT and ATRX KO K562 cells was performed. Input samples were sequenced as control.
Project description:Pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) in eutherians retain homologous regions between the X and Y chromosomes that play a critical role in the obligatory X-Y crossover during male meiosis. Genes that reside in the PAR1 are exceptional in that they are rich in repetitive sequences and undergo a very high rate of recombination. Remarkably, murine PAR1 homologs have translocated to various autosomes, reflecting the complex recombination history during the evolution of the mammalian X chromosome. We now report that the SNF2-type chromatin remodeling protein ATRX controls the expression of eutherians ancestral PAR1 genes that have translocated to autosomes in the mouse. In addition, we have identified two potentially novel mouse PAR1 orthologs. We propose that the ancestral PAR1 genes share a common epigenetic environment that allows ATRX to control their expression. At E13.5, n = 3 biological replicates of littermate-matched wt/ko pairs. RNA from 2 forebrains were pooled to generate enough RNA for each sample. At P0.5, n = 4 biological replicates of littermate-matched wt/ko pairs (for pair #2 there is one wt and 2 Atrx-null samples (2A & 2B) and we count this as 2 pairs).
Project description:RNA sequencing of isogenic ATRX wild-type (WT) and ATRX knockout (KO) paired isogenic cell lines treated with either 1.)interferon stimulatory DNA (ISD) and harvested 24 hours after treatment, 2)4 Gy ionizing radiation and harvested 36 hours after treatment, or 3) untreated control. These experiments help determine the differential impact of ATRX mutational status on cGAS-STING and type-I interferon signaling in soft tissue sarcoma.
Project description:RNA sequencing of a primary tumors from a sarcoma genetically engineerted mouse model with activation of oncogenic Kras, deletion of p53 and deletion of Atrx, as compared to control sarcomas with identical genetic alterations but with wild-type Atrx. Tumors were either untreated or recieved 20 Gy of ionizing radiation and were harvested at 4 hrs, 3 day, or 6 day timepoints post treatment. For cell lines, isogenic ATRX wild-type (WT) and ATRX knockout (KO) paired isogenic cell lines treated with either 1.)interferon stimulatory DNA (ISD) and harvested 24 hours after treatment, 2)4 Gy ionizing radiation and harvested 36 hours after treatment, or 3) untreated control. These experiments help determine the differential impact of ATRX mutational status on cGAS-STING and type-I interferon signaling in soft tissue sarcoma.
