Project description:The chromatin organizers Satb1 and Satb2 regulate developmental genes in a tissue- and locus-specific manner. In mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs), the Satb proteins are involved in the balance between pluripotency and differentiation by direct control of key developmental factors such as Nanog and a number of Hox genes. Despite their structural similarities, the Satb proteins regulate mESC pluripotency in opposing ways: Satb1 promotes differentiation by repressing Nanog and activating the neural genes Bcl2 and Nestin, while Satb2 supports the pluripotent state by activating Nanog and repressing Satb1. To further address the mechanisms by which the Satb proteins regulate gene expression, we examined the conjugation of Satb2 with the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) in pluripotent and differentiated mESCs. We describe for the first time the endogenous SUMOylation of Satb2 in mESCs as a response to developmental cues. We found that Satb2 is progressively SUMO2-modified during differentiation of ESCs towards ectodermal precursors. Moreover, we identified Zfp451 as a SUMO E3 ligase able to interact with and modify Satb2 with SUMO2 in vitro and in vivo. Ablation of Zfp451 or mutation of the SUMO-acceptor lysines in the Satb2 protein disrupt the ability of mESCs to efficiently shut-down pluripotency genes and activate the differentiation program. Importantly, forced expression of SUMO2-Satb2 N-terminal fusions rescues the differentiation defect of SUMO-Satb2 deficient mESCs. Mechanistically, SUMOylation reduces binding of Satb2 to a subset of loci associated to pluripotency genes and changes the composition of Satb2-containing complexes in chromatin. Taken together, our data suggests that SUMO modification of the chromatin organizer Satb2 by the E3 ligase Zfp451 is required for the efficient downregulation of pluripotency genes and initiation of the differentiation program in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Project description:Satb1 and Satb2 are regulators of higher order chromatin in T cells and osteoblasts repectively. We were interested if Satb1 and Satb2 play a role in the regulation of gene expression in ES cells. In this experiment, we compared the transcriptome of wild type and Satb1-/- ES cells. Interestingly Satb1-/- ES cells display an impaired differentiation potential. WT and Satb1-/- ES cells were grown for 3 days in the presence of LIF and selected for Oct4-expression cells by the addition of hygromycin to the culture medium. Previously the cells had been engineered so that they contain a selectable HygroTK reporter in the the Oct4 locus. Total RNA was harvested and used for hybridization.
