Project description:Mechanotransduction plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism. Cells respond to mechanical signals, which ultimately induces gene expression. However, the underlying mechanisms of this gene regulation remain largely unclear. In previous research, we discovered that the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UBE2A and UBE2B translocate between the cytoplasm and nucleus in a force-dependent manner. Additionally, we confirmed that UBE2A and UBE2B ubiquitinate histone H2B at lysine 120 (K120) when cells are cultured on a stiff substrate. In this study, we employed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to investigate the distribution of H2B mono-ubiquitination in human skeletal muscle (hsSKM) cells cultured on substrates of varying stiffness—soft (0.2 kPa) and stiff (64 kPa).

Project description:Rnf20 catalyzes lysine 120 mono-ubiquitination of histone H2B (H2Bub1) that has been previously involved in normal differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) and adult stem cells. However, the mechanisms underlying by which Rnf20 is recruited to its target chromosomal loci to generate H2Bub1 are still elusive. Here, we reveal that Fbxl19, a CxxC domain-containing protein, physically interacts with Rnf20, guides it preferentially to CpG island-containing target promoters, and thereby promotes mono-ubiqutination of H2B. We first show that up-regulation of Fbxl19 induces the level of global H2Bub1, while down-regulation of Fbxl19 reduces the level of H2Bub1 in mouse ES cells. Our genome-wide target mapping unveils the preferential occupancy of Fbxl19 on CpG island-containing promoters, and we further show that the binding of Fbxl19 is essential for the recruitment of Rnf20 to its target genes and subsequent H2Bub1. Altogether, our results demonstrate that Fbxl19 plays critical roles in the H2Bub1 pathway by recruiting Rnf20 to CGI target genes specifically and selectively.

Project description:The Mediator complex orchestrates multiple transcription factors with the Pol II apparatus for precise transcriptional control. However, its interplay with the surrounding chromatin remains poorly understood. Here, we analyze differential histone modifications between WT and MED23-/- (KO) cells and identify H2B mono-ubiquitination at lysine 120 (H2Bub) as a MED23-dependent histone modification. Using tandem affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we find that MED23 associates with the RNF20/40 complex, the enzyme for H2Bub, and show that this association is critical for the recruitment of RNF20/40 to chromatin. In a cell-free system, Mediator directly and substantially increases H2Bub on recombinant chromatin through its cooperation with RNF20/40 and the PAF complex. Integrative genome-wide analyses show that MED23 depletion specifically reduces H2Bub on a subset of MED23-contolled genes. Importantly, MED23-coupled H2Bub levels are oppositely regulated during myogenesis and lung carcinogenesis. In sum, these results establish a mechanistic link between the Mediator complex and a critical chromatin modification in coordinating transcription with cell growth and differentiation. To examine the enrichment of H2B ubiquitination, Pol II, H3K4me3, H3K79me3 in WT and KO MED23 MEF cells, we performed H2Bub ChIP-seq, Pol II ChIP-seq, H3K4me3 ChIP-seq and H3K79me3 ChIP-seq assays. 10 high-throughput sequencing data were deposited and WT, KO input data were controls for peak calling.

Project description:Treating recurrent GBM is a clinical challenge due to its highly resistant and aggressive nature. In order to develop new therapeutic targets for recurrent GBM a better understanding of its molecular landscape is necessary. Here we used a cellular model, developed in our lab which generates paired primary and recurrent samples from GBM cell lines and primary patient samples hence allowing us to compare the molecular differences between the two populations. Total RNA seq analysis of parent and recurrent population of two cell lines and one patient sample revealed a significant upregulation of Extracellular matrix interaction in recurrent population. Since matrix stiffness plays a pivotal role in cell-ECM interaction and downstream signaling, we developed a system that mimicked the brain like substrate stiffness by using collagen coated polyacrylamide-based substrate whose stiffness can be modified from normal brain (0.5kPa) to tumorigenic (10kPa). Using these substrates, we were able to capture the morphological and physiological differences between parent and recurrent GBM which were not evident on plastic surfaces (~1 GPa). On 0.5kPa, unlike circular parent cells, recurrent GBM cells showed two morphologies (circular and elongated). The recurrent cells growing on 0.5kPa also showed higher proliferation, invasion, migration and in-vivo tumorigenicity in orthotropic GBM mouse model, compared to parent cells. Furthermore, recurrent cells exhibited elevated velocity irrespective of substrate stiffness, which indicated that recurrent cells may possess inherent differential mechanosignalling ability which was reflected by higher expression of ECM proteins like Collagen IVA, MMP2 and MMP9. Moreover, mice brain injected with recurrent cells grown on 0.5kPa substrate showed higher Young’s modulus values suggesting that recurrent cells conditioned on 0.5kPa make the surrounding ECM stiffer. Importantly, inhibition of EGFR signaling, that is amplified with tissue stiffening in GBM resulted in decreased invasion, migration and proliferation in 0.5kPa recurrent cells, but interestingly survival remained unaffected, highlighting the importance of mimicking the physiological stiffness of the brain mimicking clinical scenario. Total RNA seq analysis of parent and recurrent cells grown on plastic and 0.5kPa substrate identified PLEKHA7 as significantly upregulated gene specifically in 0.5kPa recurrent sample. Higher protein expression of PLEKHA7 in recurrent GBM as compared to primary GBM was validated in patient biopsies. Accordingly, PLEKHA7 knockdown reduced invasion and survival of recurrent GBM cells. Together, these data provides a model system that captures the differential mechanosensing signals of primary and recurrent GBM cells and identifies a novel potential target specific for recurrent GBM.

Project description:Posttranslational histone modifications play important roles in regulating chromatin structure and function. Histone H2B ubiquitination and deubiquitination have been implicated in transcriptional regulation, but the function of H2B deubiquitination is not well defined, particularly in higher eukaryotes. Here we report the purification of USP49 as a histone H2B specific deubiquitinase and demonstrate that H2B deubiquitination by USP49 is required for efficient co-transcriptional splicing of a large set of exons. USP49 forms a complex with RVB1 and SUG1, and specifically deubiquitinates histone H2B in vitro and in vivo. USP49 knockdown results in small changes in gene expression, but affects the abundance of over 9,000 isoforms. Exons down-regulated in USP49 knockdown cells show both elevated levels of alternative splicing and a general decrease in splicing efficiency. Importantly, USP49 is relatively enriched at this set of exons. USP49 knockdown increased uH2B levels at these exons as well as upstream 3’ and downstream 5’ intronic splicing elements. Change in H2B ubiquitination level, as modulated by USP49, regulates U1A and U2B association with chromatin and binding to nascent pre-mRNA. Although H3 levels are relatively stable after USP49 depletion, H2B levels at these exons are dramatically increased, suggesting that uH2B may enhance nucleosome stability. Therefore, this study identifies USP49 as a histone H2B specific deubiquitinase and uncovers a critical role for H2B deubiquitination in co-transcriptional pre-mRNA processing events.

Project description:The study aims to elucidate the effect of mono-ubiquitination of histone H2B at K123. The WT and H2B(K123R) yeast in early stationary phase were inoculated in fresh YPD rich media at OD 0.3. The cells were then grown to OD2.0 and their total RNA was isolated for genomic expression profiling with S98 arrays (Affymetrix). The experiments were performed in triplicate.
