Project description:Diverse subpopulations of astrocytes tile different brain regions to accommodate local requirements of neurons and associated neuronal circuits. Nevertheless, molecular mechanisms governing astrocyte diversity remain mostly unknown. We explored the role of a zinc finger transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) that is expressed in astrocytes. We found that specific deletion of YY1 from astrocytes causes severe motor deficits in mice, induces Bergmann gliosis, and results in simultaneous loss of GFAP expression in velate and fibrous cerebellar astrocytes. Single cell RNA-seq analysis showed that YY1 exerts specific effects on gene expression in subpopulations of cerebellar astrocytes. We found that although YY1 is dispensable for the initial stages of astrocyte development, it regulates subtype-specific gene expression during astrocyte maturation. Moreover, YY1 is continuously needed to maintain astrocyte identity in the adult cerebellum. Our findings suggest that YY1 plays critical roles regulating cerebellar astrocyte maturation during development and maintaining a mature phenotype of astrocytes in the adult cerebellum.

Project description:The pleiotropic transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) regulates cellular metabolism in a stage- and tissue-dependent manner. However, its role in cardiac energetic regulation remains unclear. We found that cardiac-specific YY1 knockout (cYY1 KO) mice exhibited cardiac dysfunction after two weeks of swimming exercise, suggesting an impaired adaptive cardiac response. Further analysis revealed that exercise-induced upregulation of transcription factor networks controlling cardiac metabolism, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α), was blunted in cYY1 KO mice. Consistently, citrate synthase activity, an indicator of mitochondrial content, was reduced in these mice. In response to transaortic constriction (TAC), cYY1 KO mice developed significantly exacerbated heart failure. RNA sequencing showed downregulation of metabolic genes and pathways, including PGC-1α, in TAC cYY1 KO mice hearts. Additionally, mitochondrial complex protein levels and complex I activity were reduced, consistent with suppressed metabolic gene transcription. Previously, we observed increased YY1 expression in hearts subjected to both exercise and TAC. However, while cardiac metabolism was enhanced with exercise, it was impaired with TAC. We found that p300 binding to YY1 increased during exercise, whereas histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) binding to YY1 increased in TAC hearts. These findings suggest that YY1-mediated transcriptional regulation of metabolic genes is modulated by the epigenetic regulators p300 and HDAC3.

Project description:Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes 3 (SMC3) are two critical chromatin structural factors that mediate long-distance enhancer-promoter interactions and promote developmentally regulated changes in chromatin architecture in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). While YY1 plays critical functions in maintaining hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence, SMC3 is required for proper lineage differentiation. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding how YY1 and SMC3 interact with each other and impact hematopoiesis. We found that YY1 physically interacts with SMC3 and co-occupies with SMC3 at a large cohort of promoters genome-wide, and YY1 deficiency deregulates the genetic network governing cell metabolism. YY1 occupies the Smc3 promoter and represses SMC3 expression in HSPCs. While deletion of one Smc3 allele partially restores HSC numbers and quiescence in YY1 knockout mice, HSC self-renewal remains defective. YY1 regulates HSC metabolic pathways and maintains proper intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in HSCs, and this regulation is independent of YY1- SMC3 axis. Our results establish a distinct YY1-SMC3 axis and its impact on HSC quiescence, self-renewal and metabolism

Project description:Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a multifunctional transcription factor shown to be critical in a variety of biological processes. Although it has been reported to be regulated by multiple types of post-translational modifications (PTMs), whether YY1 is methylated, which enzyme methylates YY1, and hence the functional significance of YY1 methylation remain completely unknown. Here we reported the first methyltransferase, SET7/9 (KMT7), capable of methylating YY1 in vitro and in vivo at two highly conserved lysine (K) residues, K173 and K411, located in two distinct domains, one in the central glycine-rich region and the other in the very carboxyl-terminus. Functional study revealed that SET7/9-mediated YY1 methylation regulated YY1 DNA-binding activity both in vitro and at specific genomic loci in cultured cells. Consistently, SET7/9-mediated YY1 methylation was shown to involve in YY1-regulated gene transcription and cell proliferation. Our findings revealed a novel regulatory strategy, methylation by lysine methyltransferase, imposed on YY1 protein, and linked YY1 methylation with its biological functions.

Project description:Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a terminal disease and the molecular underpinnings of CRPC development need to be better understood in order to improve its treatments. Here, we report that a transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is significantly overexpressed during prostate cancer progression. Functional and cistrome studies of YY1 uncover its roles in promoting prostate oncogenesis in vitro and in vivo, as well as sustaining tumor metabolism including the Warburg effect and mitochondria respiration. Additionally, our integrated genomics and interactome profiling in prostate tumor show that YY1 and bromodomain-containing proteins (BRD2/4) co-occupy a majority of gene-regulatory elements, coactivating downstream targets. Via gene loss-of-function and rescue studies, as well as mutagenesis of YY1-bound cis-elements, we unveil an oncogenic pathway in which YY1 directly binds and activates PFKP, a gene encoding the rate-limiting enzyme for glycolysis, significantly contributing to YY1-enforced Warburg effect and malignant growth. Altogether, this study supports a master regulator role for YY1 in prostate tumor and reveals a YY1:BRD2/4-PFKP axis operating in advanced prostate cancer with implications for therapy.

Project description:Mitochondrial biogenesis requires precise regulation of both mitochondrial-encoded and nuclear-encoded genes. Nuclear receptor Nur77 is known to regulate mitochondrial metabolism in macrophages and skeletal muscle cells. Here, we compared genome-wide Nur77 binding site and target gene expression in these two cell types, which revealed conserved roles for this nuclear receptor in the regulation of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRP) and enrichment of motifs for the transcription factor Yin-Yang 1 (YY1). We show that Nur77 and YY1 interact, that YY1 increases Nur77 activity, and that their binding sites are co-enriched at MRP gene loci. Nur77 and YY1 co-expression synergistically increases mitochondrial abundance and activity in macrophages but not skeletal muscle. As such, we identify a macrophage-specific Nur77-YY1 interaction that enhances mitochondrial metabolism.
