Project description:The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation (NuRD) complex is a crucial regulator of cellular differentiation. Two members of the Methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) protein family, MBD2 and MBD3, are known to be integral, but mutually exclusive subunits of the NuRD complex. Several MBD2 and MBD3 isoforms are present in mammalian cells, resulting in distinct MBD-NuRD complexes. Whether these different complexes serve distinct functional activities during differentiation is not fully explored. Based on the essential role of MBD3 in lineage commitment, we systematically investigated a diverse set of MBD2 and MBD3 variants for their potential to rescue the differentiation block observed for mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) lacking MBD3. While MBD3 is indeed crucial for ESC differentiation to neuronal cells, it functions independently of its MBD domain. We further identify that MBD2 isoforms can replace MBD3 during lineage commitment, however with different potential. Full-length MBD2a only partially rescues the differentiation block, while MBD2b, an isoform lacking an N-terminal GR-rich repeat, fully rescues the Mbd3 KO phenotype. In case of MBD2a, we further show that removing the methylated DNA binding capacity or the GR-rich repeat enables full redundancy to MBD3, highlighting the synergistic requirements for these domains in diversifying NuRD complex function.

Project description:To obtain a comprehensive and quantitative view on MBD2 vs MBD3-NuRD complex stoichiometry, we performed biotin co-immunoprecipitations in Mbd3 KO ES cells expressing either biotin-tagged MBD2a or MBD3a and identified known NuRD complex members using label-free mass spectrometry (Supplementary Fig. 8b-c). We then calculated the intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) values of the most predominant and statistically significant MBD-interacting proteins in both cell lines, which can be used to estimate the relative abundance. While we observe very similar complex composition between MBD2a-NuRD and MBD3a-NuRD, peptides shared between SALL1-4 proteins show a preferred interaction with the MBD2a-NuRD complex.

Project description:Transcriptional silencing of hypermethylated tumor suppressor genes is a hallmark of tumorigenesis, though the underlying mechanism remains enigmatic. In this study, we find Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) forms nuclear condensate in diverse cancer cells, where it assembles and navigates the chromatin remodeler NuRD complex to these gene loci for transcriptional suppression, thus fueling tumor growth. Disturbance of MBD2 condensate reduces the level of NuRD complex-specific proteins, destabilizes heterochromatin foci, facilitates chromatin relaxation, and consequently impedes tumor progression. We demonstrate that MBD2 condensate is redox sensitive mediated by Cys359. Prooxidative interventions disperse MBD2-NuRD condensate, thereby alleviating the transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes. Our findings illuminate a hitherto unappreciated function of MBD2 condensate in sustaining a repressive chromatin state essential for cancer cell proliferation and suggest an oxidative stress targeting approach for malignancies with excessive MBD2 condensate.

Project description:As high fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels ameliorate the underlying pathophysiologic defects in sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia, understanding the mechanisms that enforce silencing of HbF postnatally offers the promise of effective molecular therapy. Depletion of Methyl cytosine Binding Domain protein 2 (MBD2) causes a 10-20 fold increase in γ-globin gene expression in adult β-YAC transgenic mice. To determine the effect of MBD2 depletion in human erythroid cells, CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout (KO) was carried out in Human Umbilical cord Derived Erythroid Progenitor-2 (HUDEP-2) erythroid cells resulting in γ/γ+β mRNA levels of ~50% and ~40% HbF by HPLC. In contrast, MBD3 KO had no appreciable effect on γ-globin mRNA. Knockdown (Kd) of MBD2 in primary adult erythroid cells consistently increased γ/γ+β mRNA ratios by ~10-fold resulting in ~30-40% γ/γ+β mRNA levels and a corresponding increase in γ-globin protein. MBD2 exerts its repressive effects through recruitment of the CHD4 chromatin remodeling component of NuRD through a coiled-coil (CC) domain, and the histone deacetylase (HDCC) component via an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Enforced expression of wild-type MBD2 in MBD2KO HUDEP-2 cells caused a 5-fold decrease in γ-globin mRNA while neither the CC mutant nor the IDR mutant MBD2 proteins had an inhibitory effect. Consistently, co-immunoprecipitation assays showed that the CC and IDR domain mutations disrupt NuRD complex formation by dissociating the CHD4 and HDCC domains respectively. These results establish MBD2-NuRD as a major silencer of HbF in human erythroid cells and point to the CC and IDR domains of MBD2-NuRD as potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Transcriptional regulation by chromatin is a highly dynamic process directed through the recruitment and coordinated action of epigenetic modifiers and readers of these modifications. Using an unbiased proteomic approach to find interactors of H3K36me3, a modification enriched on active chromatin, we identify PWWP2A and HDAC2 among the top interactors. PWWP2A and its paralog PWWP2B form a stable complex with NuRD subunits MTA1/2/3:HDAC1/2:RBBP4/7, but not with MBD2/3, p66α/β, and CHD3/4. PWWP2A competes with MBD3 for binding to MTA1, thus defining a new variant NuRD complex that is mutually exclusive with the MBD2/3-containing NuRD. In mESCs, PWWP2A/B is most enriched at highly transcribed genes. Loss of PWWP2A/B leads to increases in histone acetylation predominantly at highly expressed genes, accompanied by decreases in Pol II elongation. Collectively, these findings suggest a role for PWWP2A/B in regulating transcription through the fine-tuning of histone acetylation dynamics at actively transcribed genes.

Project description:The heterogeneous collection of NuRD complexes can be grouped into the MBD2 or MBD3 containing complexes MBD2-NuRD and MBD3-NuRD. MBD2 is known to bind to methylated CpG sequences in vitro in contrast to MBD3. Although functional differences have been described, a direct comparison of MBD2 and MBD3 in respect to genome-wide binding and function has been lacking. Here we show when depleting cells for MBD2, the MBD2 bound genes increase their activity, whereas MBD2 plus MBD3 bound genes reduce their activity. Most strikingly, MBD3 is enriched at active promoters, whereas MBD2 is bound at methylated promoters and enriched at exon sequences of active genes. This suggests a functional connection between MBD2 binding to chromatin and splicing.
