Project description:HDGF-related protein 3 (HRP3, also known as HDGFL3) belongs to the family of HDGF-related proteins (HRPs) and plays an essential role in hepatocellular carcinoma pathogenesis. All HRPs have a PWWP domain at the N-terminus that binds both histone and DNA substrates. Despite previous advances in PWWP domains, the molecular basis by which HRP3 interacts with chromatin is unclear. In this study, we solved the crystal structures of the HRP3 PWWP domain in complex with various double-stranded DNAs with/without bound histone peptides. We found that HRP3 PWWP bound to the phosphate backbone of the DNA minor groove and showed a preference for DNA molecules bearing a narrow minor groove width. In addition, HRP3 PWWP preferentially bound to histone peptides bearing the H3K36me3/2 modification. HRP3 PWWP uses two adjacent surfaces to bind both DNA and histone substrates simultaneously, enabling us to generate a model illustrating the recruitment of PWWP to H3K36me3-containing nucleosomes. Cell-based analysis indicated that both DNA and histone binding by the HRP3 PWWP domain are important for HRP3 recruitment to chromatin in vivo. Our work establishes that HRP3 PWWP is a new family of minor groove-specific DNA binding proteins, which improves our understanding of HRP3 and other PWWP domain-containing proteins.

Project description:The correct establishment of DNA methylation patterns is vital for mammalian development and is achieved by the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B. DNMT3B localises to H3K36me3 at actively transcribing gene bodies through its PWWP domain. It also functions at heterochromatin through an unknown recruitment mechanism. Here we find that knockout of DNMT3B causes losses of methylation predominantly at H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin and that DNMT3B PWWP domain mutations or deletion result in striking increases of methylation in H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin. Removal of the N-terminal region of DNMT3B affects its ability to methylate H3K9me3-marked regions. This region of DNMT3B directly interacts with HP1-alpha and facilitates the bridging of DNMT3B with H3K9me3-marked nucleosomes in vitro. Our results suggest that DNMT3B is recruited to H3K9me3 marked heterochromatin in a PWWP-independent manner that is facilitated by the protein's N-terminus through an interaction with a key heterochromatin protein. More generally, we suggest that DNMT3B plays a role in DNA methylation homeostasis at heterochromatin, a process which is disrupted in cancer, aging and Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability and Facial Anomalies (ICF) syndrome.

Project description:Recurring chromosomal translocation t(10;17)(p15;q21) present in a subset of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients creates an aberrant fusion gene termed ZMYND11-MBTD1 (ZM); however, its function remains undetermined. Here, we show that ZM confers primary murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells indefinite self-renewal capability ex vivo and causes AML in vivo. Genomics profilings reveal that ZM directly binds to and maintains high expression of pro-leukemic genes including Hoxa, Meis1, Myb, Myc and Sox4. Mechanistically, ZM recruits NuA4/Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex to cis-regulatory elements, sustaining an active chromatin state enriched in histone acetylation and devoid of repressive histone marks. Systematic mutagenesis of ZM demonstrates essential requirements of Tip60 interaction and an H3K36me3-binding PWWP domain for oncogenesis. Inhibitor of histone acetylation-‘reading’ bromodomain proteins, which act downstream of ZM, is efficacious in treating ZM-induced AML. Collectively, this study demonstrates AML-causing effects of ZM, examines its gene-regulatory roles, and reports an attractive mechanism-guided therapeutic strategy.

Project description:Elucidation of interactions involving DNA and histone post-translational-modifications (PTMs) is essential for providing insight into complex biological functions. Reader assemblies connected via flexible linkages facilitate avidity and increase affinity, however little is known of the contribution to the recognition process of multiple PTMs due to rigidity in the absence of conformational flexibility. We report here the high resolution crystal structure of the triple-reader module (PHD-Bromo-PWWP) of ZMYND8 which forms a stable unit capable of simultaneously recognizing multiple histone PTMs, while presenting a charged platform for association with DNA. Single domain disruptions destroy the functional network of interactions initiated by ZMYND8, impairing recruitment to sites of DNA damage. Our data establish proof-of-principle that rigidity can be compensated by concomitant DNA and histone PTM interactions, maintaining multivalent engagement of transient chromatin states, thus identifying an important underappreciated role for rigid multivalent reader modules in nucleosome binding and chromatin function.

Project description:DNA methylation is critical for regulating gene expression, necessitating its accurate placement by enzymes such as the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A. Dysregulating this process is known to cause aberrant development and oncogenesis, yet how DNMT3A function is shaped holistically by its three domains remains challenging to study. Through in situ mutational scanning, we found mutations in the PWWP domain, a histone reader, that modulate enzyme activity by affecting DNA binding, despite preserving histone recognition and protein stability. To investigate the consequences of these mutations on DNMT3A function in cells, we expressed ectopic Dnmt3a2 variants in embryonic stem cells and used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing and histone modification ChIP-seq to study the resulting patterns of de novo DNA methylation. Our data show that PWWP domain DNA affinity is required for full activity in cells and constitutes a noncanonical function of the PWWP domain.
