Project description:One key aspect of epigenetic inheritance is that chromatin structure can be stably inherited through generations even after removal of the initial signal that establishes such structure. In fission yeast, the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery is critical for the targeting of histone methyltransferase Clr4 to repetitive DNA elements to establish a large domain of heterochromatin marked with histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me). Subsequently during DNA replication, the deposition of parental histones containing H3K9me into daughter DNA strands is expected to recruit Clr4 to modify neighboring new histones, resulting in the inheritance of heterochromatin in both daughter cells. However, pericentric heterochromatin cannot be properly inherited in the absence of RNAi, suggesting the existence of mechanisms that counteract chromatin-based inheritance. Here we show that in the absence of certain components of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex, pericentric heterochromatin can be properly inherited in RNAi mutants. The ability of INO80 to counter heterochromatin inheritance is attributed to one accessory subunit Iec5, which promotes histone turn over at heterochromatin regions, but has little effects on the ability of INO80 in regulating nucleosome positioning at heterochromatin, gene expression, or the DNA damage response. Slow histone turnover preserves parental histones at repeat regions to enhance epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin not only in RNAi mutants but also in wild type cells. Our analyses identified a separation-of-function mutation of INO80 in regulating histone turnover at heterochromatin and demonstrate the important role of histone turnover in controlling heterochromatin inheritance and maintaining the proper heterochromatin landscape of the genome.

Project description:Epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin requires DNA sequence-independent propagation mechanisms, coupling to RNAi, or input from DNA sequence, but how DNA contributes to inheritance is not understood. Here, we identify a DNA element (termed “maintainer”) that is sufficient for epigenetic inheritance of preexisting histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) and heterochromatin in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, but cannot establish de novo gene silencing in wild-type cells. This maintainer is a composite DNA element with binding sites for the Atf1/Pcr1 and Deb1 transcription factors and the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), located within a 130-base pair region, and can be converted to a silencer in cells with lower rates of H3K9me turnover, suggesting that it participates in recruiting the H3K9 methyltransferase Clr4/Suv39h. These results suggest that, in the absence of RNAi, histone H3K9me is only heritable when it can collaborate with maintainer-associated DNA-binding proteins that help recruit the enzyme responsible for its epigenetic deposition.

Project description:The highly conserved multienzyme Rix1-containing complex (hereafter referred to as the rixosome), is required for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing and also localizes to heterochromatin in fission yeast, but its role in heterochromatin formation is unknown. Here we report the isolation of separation of function mutations in subunits of the rixosome that abolish its physical association with Swi6/HP1 and localization to heterochromatin, but do not affect growth or rRNA processing. These mutations abolish the epigenetic inheritance of silencing and histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me), accumulate heterochromatic RNAs, and cannot spread H3K9me and silencing away from nucleation sites into an inserted transgene. We further show that the rixosome acts upstream of the conserved 5’-3’ exoribonuclease Dhp1/XRN2 to promote heterochromatic RNA degradation. These findings reveal a new RNA degradation pathway that specifically localizes to heterochromatin to degrade nascent transcripts and enable heterochromatin spreading and inheritance.

Project description:INO80 complex is an ATPase-dependent chormatin remodeling complex, which regulates various DNA metabolic processes such as DNA replication and repair. Additionally, INO80 complex also contributes to the regulation of gene expression in sterss response and development. In order to investigate the function of INO80 complex in rhabdomyosarcoma, we examined the knockdown of subunits of INO80 complex Actr5, Ies6, and Ino80 in human rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells. As a result, it was found that INO80 complex is involved in the sarcomagenicity and the disregulation of myogenic properties of rhabdomyosarcoma cells.
