MORC proteins regulate transcription factor binding through mediating chromatin compaction at active chromatin regions

Project description:The Microrchidia (MORC) family proteins are evolutionarily conserved GHKL type ATPases involved in chromatin compaction and gene silencing. Arabidopsis MORC proteins act in the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway where they act as molecular tethers to ensure the efficient establishment of RdDM and de novo gene silencing. However, they also have RdDM independent functions in which the underlying mechanism is unknown. In this study, we examined MORC binding regions that are devoid of RdDM to shed light on MORCs RdDM independent functions. We found that MORC proteins can compact chromatin, exclude the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors (TFs) and thereby repress gene expression. We also found that MORC-mediated repression is particularly important under stress conditions. In addition, we showed that MORC proteins may regulate TFs through direct or indirect interactions. These TFs in turn regulate their own transcription, indicating a feedforward loop. Our findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of MORC-mediated chromatin compaction and transcription regulation.

Thyroid cancer-associated EZH1 Q571R mutation drives chromatin compaction and H3K27me3 invasion into active chromatin

Project description:Dysregulation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) contributes to cancer. Of its catalytic subunits, Enhancer of Zeste (EZH) 1 and EZH2, EZH2 mutations are extensively studied, but the role of EZH1 in cancer remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the thyroid cancer-associated EZH1 Q571R mutation and uncover a mechanism that extends beyond catalytic gain of function. Using biochemical, single-molecule, epigenomic, and transcriptomic analyses, we demonstrated that EZH1 Q571R significantly enhances chromatin compaction and stimulates PRC2-EZH1 catalytic activity, thereby rewiring PRC2 chromatin interactions. This altered engagement enables PRC2 activity within H3K36me2-marked chromatin typically refractory to H3K27 methylation, leading to widespread epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming. Notably, enhanced chromatin compaction is observed with EZH1 Q571R but not with the corresponding EZH2 Q570R mutation, indicating an EZH1-specific mechanism. Functionally, EZH1 Q571R accelerated tumor growth in vivo and induced pronounced micronuclei formation ex vivo, reflecting aberrant chromatin compaction and genome instability. Together, our study demonstrates that EZH1 Q571R promotes a permissive epigenomic landscape for the progression of follicular thyroid cancer.

Local states of chromatin compaction in HepG2 cells

Project description:We reported chromatin compaction states within several nucleosomes in HepG2 cells. To assess the local compaction, fromaldehyde-treated chromatin was appled to fractionation via a sedimentation velocity cetrifugation. While less-crosslinked nucleosomes remained in upper fractions as open chromatin, well-crosslinked nucleosomes were sedimented to lower fractions as compact chromatin.

morc-1 regulates transgenerational heterochromatin maintenance at nuclear RNAi targets

Project description:The germline is an immortal cell lineage and therefore must accurately transmit genetic and epigenetic information over infinite cell divisions to ensure fertility and species survival. Endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs), which are highly expressed in the parental germline and inherited in their progeny, represent one mechanism by which epigenetic information can be transmitted from one generation to the next. In C. elegans, this is accomplished by the nuclear RNAi pathway, which ensures robust inheritance of endo-siRNAs and of target gene silencing through deposition of H3K9me3 marks at target loci. How these marks are maintained in subsequent generations is unknown. Here, we show that the C. elegans micro-orchidia homolog, MORC-1, functions downstream of endo-siRNAs to mediate target silencing and maintenance of siRNA-dependent H3K9me3 marks. Like the established members of the nuclear RNAi pathway, morc-1 is essential for germline maintenance and thus morc-1(-) mutants exhibit a mortal germline phenotype. Furthermore, morc-1(-) mutants exhibit severe decondensation of germline chromatin. Through a forward genetic screen, we have identified mutations in the gene encoding MET-1, a H3K36 histone methyltransferase, that potently suppress morc-1(-) germline mortality. We show that morc-1(-) mutants exhibit progressive, met-1-dependent enrichment of H3K36me3 and that mutation of met-1 can restore germline chromatin organization in late generation morc-1(-) mutants. Our data suggest that MORC-1 is required to repress MET-1 activity at nuclear RNAi target genes and that in the absence of this repression, MET-1-mediated encroachment of euchromatin leads to detrimental decondensation of germline chromatin and germline mortality.
