Project description:Nucleosome turnover concomitant with incorporation of the replication-independent histone variant H3.3 is a hallmark of regulatory regions in the animal genome. In our current understanding, nucleosome turnover is universally linked to DNA accessibility and histone acetylation. In mouse embryonic stem cells, H3.3 is also highly enriched at interstitial heterochromatin, most prominently intracisternal-A particle endogenous retroviral elements. Interstitial heterochromatin is established over confined domains by the TRIM28/SETDB1 corepressor complex and has stereotypical features of repressive chromatin, such as H3K9me3 and recruitment of all HP1 isoforms. Here, we demonstrate that fast histone turnover and H3.3 incorporation is compatible with these hallmarks of heterochromatin. We identify Smarcad1 to be a chromatin remodeler that generates nucleosome-free regions which are subsequently filled with histone H3.3, generating a surprisingly dynamic heterochromatin state. Loss of histone H3.3 elicits a highly specific opening of interstitial heterochromatin demonstrating that in the wake of Smarcad1 remodeling, H3.3 is required to maintain minimal DNA accessibility by reassembling nucleosomes.

Project description:Chromocenters are established after the 2-cell (2C) stage during mouse embryonic development, but the factors that mediate chromocenter formation remain largely unknown. To identify regulators of 2C heterochromatin establishment, we generated an inducible system to convert embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to 2C-like cells. This conversion is marked by a global reorganization and dispersion of H3K9me3-heterochromatin foci, which are then reversibly formed upon re-entry into pluripotency. Profiling the chromatin-bound proteome (chromatome) by genome capture of ESCs transitioning to 2C-like cells, we uncover chromatin regulators involved in de novo heterochromatin formation. We identified TOPBP1 and investigated its binding partner SMARCAD1. SMARCAD1 and TOPBP1 associate with H3K9me3-heterochromatin in ESCs. Interestingly, the nuclear localization of SMARCAD1 is lost in 2C-like cells. SMARCAD1 or TOPBP1 depletion in mouse embryos lead to developmental arrest, reduction of H3K9me3 and remodeling of heterochromatin foci. Collectively, our findings contribute to comprehending the maintenance of chromocenters during early development.

Project description:Smarcad1 is one of the most conserved chromatin remodelling factors, from yeast to human, with suggested functions in gene silencing, heterochromatin maintenance and genome stability. However, its role in tissue function is poorly understood. As this factor is highly expressed in the stem- and proliferative zone in the intestinal epithelium, we explored the role of this factor in this tissue. Specific deletion of Smarcad1 in the intestinal epithelium led to colitis resistance in the dextran sodium sulphate colitis model. We identified candidate members of the gut microbiome that elicit an epithelial Smarcad1-dependent colitis response.

Project description:How intestinal epithelial cells interact with the host immune system and the microbiota and how this is regulated at the gene expression level are critical questions. Smarcad1 is one of the most conserved chromatin remodelling factors, from yeast to human, with suggested functions in gene silencing, heterochromatin maintenance and genome stability. However, its role in tissue function is poorly understood. As this factor is highly expressed in the stem- and proliferative zone in the intestinal epithelium, we explored the role of this factor in this tissue. Specific deletion of Smarcad1 in the intestinal epithelium led to colitis resistance in the dextran sodium sulphate colitis model. Intestine tissue-specific deletion of Smarcad1 resulted in notable changes in gene expression in the small intestine and colon. Absence of Smarcad1 led to changes in chromatin accessibility and significant changes in histone H3K9me3 but not H3K9me2 over many sites, including many genes that are differentially regulated upon Smarcad1 deletion. Our study demonstrates that an innate immunity response can be coordinated by a chromatin remodelling factor.

Project description:Using Tet-inhibited expression of epitope-tagged H3.3 combined with ChIP-Seq we undertook genome-wide measurements of H3.3 dissociation rates across the ESC genome and examined the relationship between H3.3-nucleosome turnover and ESC-specific transcription factors, chromatin modifiers and epigenetic marks. To measure dissociation rates of H3.3, we utilized a TET-repressible ESC line, ES[MC1R(20)], with the expression cassette integrated at the ROSA26 locus. We transfected MC1R ESCs with HA/FLAG-tagged H3.3 controlled by tetracycline response elements. For ‘TET-OFF’ experiments, ESCs were cultured over several passages (weeks) on feeder cells in the absence of DOX and were subsequently passaged onto feeder-free plates prior to the inhibition of HA-H3.3 expression. To repress HA/FLAG-H3.3 expression we treated cells with 2 ?g/ml doxycycline hyclate before crosslinking with formaldehyde at various time points. Measurement of H3.3-HA enrichment over time-course was performed using two replicates of ChIP-seq experiments. As a control, input DNA sequencing was performed for every time point

Intestine tissue-specific deletion of Smarcad1 resulted in notable changes in gene expression in the small intestine, colon and organoids from small intestine. Strikingly, we found an increase of expression of several genes linked to innate immunity. Our study demonstrates that an innate immunity response can be coordinated by a chromatin remodelling factor. It highlights the role of intestinal epithelial cells in the colitis response and we identified candidate members of the gut microbiome that elicit an epithelial Smarcad1-dependent colitis response.
