Project description:The recognition of modified histones by “reader” proteins constitutes a key mechanism regulating gene expression in the chromatin context. Compared with the great variety of readers for histone methylation, few protein modules that recognize histone acetylation are known. Here we show that the evolutionarily conserved YEATS domains constitute a novel family of acetyllysine readers. The human AF9 YEATS domain binds strongly to histone H3K9 acetylation and, to a lesser extent, H3K27 and H3K18 acetylation. Crystal structural studies revealed that AF9 YEATS adopts an eight-stranded immunoglobin fold and utilizes a serine-lined aromatic “sandwiching” cage for acetyllysine readout, representing a novel recognition mechanism that is distinct from that of known acetyllysine readers. Histone acetylation recognition by AF9 is important for the chromatin recruitment of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L. Together, our studies identify the YEATS domain as a novel acetyllysine-binding module, thereby establishing the first direct link between histone acetylation and DOTL1-mediated H3K79 methylation in transcription control. ChIP-seq analysis of AF9, H3K79me3, H3K9ac in Hela cells and H3K79me3 in Hela AF9 knockdown and Hela Dot1L knockdown cells.

Project description:Methylation of histone 3 on lysine 79 (H3K79) is broadly associated with active gene expression in eukaryotes, and the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L is indispensable for specific leukemia subtypes like those with MLL-translocations. We found that suppression of the histone deacetylase SIRT1 rescued MLL-AF9 leukemia cells from their dependence on DOT1L. We show that upon DOT1L inhibition, SIRT1 is required for the acquisition of a repressive chromatin state consistent with facultative heterochromatin around MLL-AF9 target genes in leukemia and other genes possess an H3K79me2(hi), H3K9ac(hi), H3K9me2(low) histone modification profile in normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Examination of histone modifications via ChIP-seq in three human cancer cell lines.

Project description:The histone 3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase Dot1l has been implicated in the development of leukemias bearing translocations that involve the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene. We identified the MLL-fusion targets in a murine MLL-AF9 leukemia model, and conducted epigenetic profiling for H3K79me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K36me3. Histone methylation patterns are highly abnormal on MLL-AF9 fusion target loci, defining a distinct epigenetic lesion involving H3K79. Conditional inactivation of Dot1l leads to specific down-regulation of direct MLL-AF9 targets and an MLL-translocation associated gene expression signature, while global transcription levels remain largely unaffected. This correlated with a greater sensitivity of leukemic blasts towards loss of Dot1l compared to normal hematopoietic cells. Development of in vivo leukemia was absolutely dependent on Dot1l. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by Solexa sequencing for H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, H3K79me2 and biotinylated MLL-AF9 in HSC, GMP and LSC.

Project description:MLL-fusions are potent oncogenes that initiate aggressive forms of acute leukemia. As aberrant transcriptional regulators, MLL-fusion proteins alter gene expression in hematopoietic cells through interactions with the histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase DOT1L. Notably, interference with MLL-fusion cofactors like DOT1L is an emerging therapeutic strategy in this disease. Here we identify the histone H2B E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF20 as an additional requirement for MLL-fusion-mediated leukemogenesis. Suppressing the expression of Rnf20 in diverse models of MLL-rearranged leukemia leads to inhibition of cell proliferation; under tissue culture conditions as well as in vivo. Rnf20 knockdown leads to reduced expression of MLL-fusion target genes, including Hoxa9 and Meis1; effects that resemble Dot1l-inhibition. Using ChIP-seq, we found that H2B ubiquitination (H2Bub) is enriched in the body of MLL-fusion target genes, correlating with sites of H3K79 methylation and transcription elongation. Furthermore, we found that Rnf20 is required to maintain local levels of H3K79 di-methylation by Dot1l at Hoxa9 and Meis1. These findings support a model whereby co-transcriptional recruitment of Rnf20 at MLL-fusion target genes leads to amplification of Dot1l-mediated H3K79 methylation, thereby rendering leukemia cells dependent on Rnf20 to maintain their oncogenic transcriptional program.
