Auto-inhibition of PRC2 by the broadly expressed long isoform of AEBP2.

ABSTRACT: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is an essential chromatin regulator responsible for mono-, di- and tri- methylating H3K27. Control of PRC2 activity is a critical process in development and disease. While PRC2 is inhibited in germinal cells, no inhibitory cofactor has been identified in somatic cells. Here we show that the alternative isoforms of its accessory subunit AEBP2, namely AEPB2S (short) and AEBP2L (long), perform opposite functions in modulating PRC2 activity. While AEPB2S is predominantly expressed during early embryogenesis, AEBP2L is expressed throughout embryogenesis and adulthood. AEPB2L inhibits both DNA binding by PRC2 and its histone methyltransferase activity in vitro and impairs PRC2 binding to target genes in embryonic stem cells. In contrast, AEBP2S promotes the DNA-binding activity of PRC2 and is essential for de novo repression of target genes during the transition from naïve to primed pluripotency. Mechanistically, through high-resolution Cryo-EM and mutagenesis, we show that the recently evolved, negatively charged N-terminal region of AEBP2L inhibits PRC2. We propose a model in which the N-terminus of AEPB2L arose in vertebrates to restrain PRC2 in somatic cells.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of human cell lines with oestrogen receptor (ER), the E2F transcription factor 4 (E2F4),

Project description:The Goal of the experiment was to validate the predicted regulatory modules identified by an algorithm.For this we took advantage of the the genome-wide location analysis technique (or ?ChIP/chip?). We selected modules predicted to be bound by the estrogen receptor (ER), the E2F transcription factor 4 (E2F4), the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 HIF1), to print a DNA microarray. In the current study, the microarray was then probed by ChIP/chip for ER and E2F4.

Selection for improved energy efficiency and drought tolerance in canola results in distinct transcriptome and epigenome changes [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Integrated breeding strategies are used to increase both the yield potential and stability of crops. Most of these approaches have a direct genetic basis. The utility of epigenetics in breeding to improve complex traits such as yield and stress tolerance is not clear. A better understanding of the status of the epigenome and its contribution to the agronomic performance would help in developing strategies to incorporate the epigenetic component of complex traits in breeding,Starting from isogenic canola lines, epilines were generated by selecting recursively during three generations for lines with a higher energy use efficiency and drought tolerance. These epilines were more energy use efficient, drought tolerant, high nitrogen use efficient, and higher yielding under suboptimal conditions. Moreover, these characteristics were transgenerational inheritable. Transcriptome comparison with a line selected for energy use efficiency only revealed common differentially expressed genes related to the onset of signaling events regulating stress tolerance. Genes related to salt, osmotic, abscisic acid and drought were specifically differentially expressed in the drought tolerant epilines. The status of the epigenome, scored as differential trimethylation of lysine 4 of histone 3, supports the energy use efficient and drought tolerant phenotype by facilitating transcription of the genes that are found to be differentially expressed.From these results it can be concluded that the epigenome can be shaped by selection to increase yield and stress tolerance. This acquired knowledge will support further development of strategies to incorporate epigenetics in breeding. To investigate the epigenetic effect on histone mark distribution of the EUE/PEG selection we performed ChIP-seq analyses. Native ChIP using an anti-H3K4me3 and no antibody (background control) was done on PEG1 and control plants.

Histone chaperone NAP1 is required for sister chromatid resolution

Project description:The fidelity of chromosome duplication through cell divisions requires timely binding and release of the cohesin. Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein complex linking newly replicated sister chromatids to ensure their appropriate transmission through mitosis. Upon commencement of mitosis cohesin is removed from DNA in two steps: first, from chromosome arms resulting in sister chromatid resolution, and, second, from centromers leading to sister chromatid segregation. As DNA of eukaryotic chromosomes is assembled into chromatin, regulation of sister chromatid cohesion-segregation may involve chromatin modifying machinery, but this link is not well understood. Here we report that H2A-H2B histone chaperone NAP1, a factor, which is primarily implicated in chromatin assembly, is required for cohesin release from mitotic chromosome arms. NAP1 and cohesin protein complex interact directly and share multiple binding sites on chromatin. Depletion of the NAP1 hinders cohesin removal during mitosis resulting in accumulation of unresolved sister chromatids. Thus, in addition to its well established functions in chromatin dynamics, histone chaperone NAP1 coordinates cell cycle dependent cohesin release. These results reveal a novel molecular pathway for sister chromatid resolution and emphasizes a role for histone chaperones in control of eukaryotic genome replication and transmission.

The supplementary bed file S2_cohesin_sites.bed contains cohesin binding sites obtained by intersecting the sets of significant ChIP-chip peaks for SA (a cohesin subunit; stromalin) and SMC1.

Specific cPRC1 complexes are co-opted to mediate oncogenic gene repression in diffuse midline glioma

Project description:Summary Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a fatal childhood brain tumour characterised primarily by mutant histone H3 (H3K27M). H3K27M causes a global reduction in Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated H3K27me3 by inhibiting PRC2 enzymatic activity. Paradoxically, PRC2 is essential in DMG tumour cells where residual complex activity is required for oncogenic gene repression, although the molecular mechanisms acting downstream of PRC2 in this context are poorly understood. Here, we’ve discovered this oncogenic gene repression is mediated by specific canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) formations. By combining CRISPR screening, biochemical and chromatin mapping approaches with functional perturbations we show that cPRC1 complexes containing CBX4 and PCGF4 drive oncogenic gene repression downstream of H3K27me3 in DMG cells. Remarkably, the altered H3K27me3 modification landscape characteristic of these tumours rewires the distribution of cPRC1 complexes on chromatin. CBX4 and PCGF4 containing cPRC1 accumulate at sites of H3K27me3 while other cPRC1 formations are displaced. Despite accounting for <5% of cPRC1 complexes in DMG, CBX4/PCGF4-containing complexes predominate as gene repressors. Our findings link the altered distribution of H3K27me3 with imbalanced cPRC1 function, promoting oncogenic gene repression in DMG cells, revealing new disease mechanisms and highlighting potential therapeutic opportunities in this incurable childhood brain tumour.

A systematic evaluation of pattern discovery algorithms

Project description:Pattern discovery algorithms are methods for discovering recurrent, non-random motifs widely used in the analysis of biological sequences. Many algorithms exist but few comparisons have been made amongst them. We systematically profile eight representative methods at multiple parameter settings across 174 diverse experimental datasets, including ten novel ChIP-on-chip datasets. We executed 16,777 pattern discovery analyses to assess prediction accuracy, CPU usage and memory consumption. For 144 datasets we developed a gold-standard using machine-learning algorithms; cross-validation was used for the remaining datasets. Performance was highly disparate, with median accuracy ranging from 32% to 96%. Importantly we were unable to replicate previously reported algorithm-rankings, emphasizing the need to use many and diverse experimental datasets. We found deterministic algorithms like Projection and Oligo/Dyad had the highest prediction accuracy. Computational efficiency was not linearly related to dataset size and becomes critical: some algorithms are intractably slow on large datasets. This work provides the first combined assessment of the CPU, memory, and prediction accuracies of pattern discovery algorithms on real experimental datasets.

Lysosomal damage triggers a p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation cascade to promote lysophagy via the small heat shock protein HSP27

Project description:Maintenance of lysosomal integrity is essential for cell viability. Upon injury, lysosomes may be targeted for degradation via a form of selective autophagy known as lysophagy, in which autophagosomes engulf damaged lysosomes following the recruitment of adaptor proteins. One of these adaptors, SQSTM1/p62, promotes lysophagy via liquid-like phase separation on damaged lysosomes. The formation of p62 condensates is regulated by the heat shock protein HSP27. Here, we demonstrate a direct interaction between HSP27 and p62. We used structural modeling to predict the binding interface between HSP27 and p62, and found several disease-associated mutations that map to this interface and disrupt the interaction. We then used proteomics to identify post-translational modifications of HSP27 that determine HSP27 recruitment to stressed lysosomes, finding robust phosphorylation at Serine residues 15, 78, and 82. We characterized the signaling mechanism leading to HSP27 phosphorylation. We find that p38 MAPK and its effector kinase MK2 are activated upon lysosomal damage by the kinase mTOR and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increased ROS activates p38 MAPK, which in turn allows MK2-dependent phosphorylation of HSP27. Either depletion of HSP27 or inhibition of HSP27 phosphorylation alters the liquidity of p62 condensates, significantly inhibiting p62-dependent lysophagy. Thus, we define a novel lysosomal quality control mechanism in which lysosomal injury triggers a p38 MAPK/MK2 signaling cascade regulating p62-dependent lysophagy. Further, this signaling cascade is activated by a variety of cellular stressors, including oxidative and heat stress, suggesting that other forms of selective autophagy may be regulated by p38 MAPK/MK2/HSP27.

Genome-wide characterization of the transcriptional program of Myc-dependent transformation

Project description:We profiled Myc binding in a normal breast cell-line (MCF10A) under basal conditions after ectopic expression of Myc. We showed that ectopic Myc expression increases tumour formation in vivo and in vitro. We then profiled genome-wide Myc binding using Agilent promoter arrays in MCF10A cells expressing wild-type and ectopic Myc. We show that Myc binds to a greater number of spots in wild-type than in Myc cells, but that some targets are unique to each condition.
