TRIM37 is a novel H2A ubiquitin ligase and a Breast Cancer Oncogene

ABSTRACT: The TRIM37 gene is mutatedin Mulbery nanism, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, and is in the 17q23 chromosomal region that is amplified in up to ~40% of breast cancers. Trim37 contains a RING finger domain, a hallmark of E3 ubiquitin ligases, but the protein substrate(s) of Trim37 is unknown. Mono-ubiquitination of histone H2A is a chromatin modification associated with transcriptional repression and here we report that Trim37 is an H2A ubiquitin ligase. Genome-wide Chip-CHIP experiments indicate that in human breast cancer cells containing amplified 17q23, Trim37 is bound to the promoters of many tumor suppressor genes. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of Trim37 results in loss of ubiquitinated H2A, dissociation of PRC1 and PRC2, and transcriptional reactivation of silenced genes. Knockdown of Trim37 in human breast cancer cells containing amplified 17q23 substantially decreases tumor growth in mouse xenografts. Collectively, our results reveal Trim37 as a new H2A ubiquitin ligase that is overexpressed in a subset of breast cancers and redirects PRC2 to silence tumor suppressors and other genes resulting in oncogenesis.

The Central Role of EED in the Orchestration of Polycomb Group Complexes

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2) play a critical role in the epigenetic regulation of transcription during cellular differentiation, stem cell pluripotency, and neoplastic progression1-3. Here we show that the Polycomb group protein EED, a core component of PRC2, physically interacts with and functions as part of the PRC1 complex. Components of PRC1 and PRC2 compete for EED binding. EED functions to recruit PRC1 to H3K27me3 loci and enhances PRC1 mediated H2A ubiquitin E3 ligase activity. Taken together, we uncover the integral role of EED as an epigenetic exchange factor coordinating the activities of PRC1 and 2.

A Basic Domain in the Histone H2B N-terminal Tail is Important for Nucleosome Assembly by FACT

Project description:Nucleosome assembly in vivo requires assembly factors, such as histone chaperones, to bind to histones and mediate their deposition onto DNA. In yeast, the essential histone chaperone FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) functions in nucleosome assembly and H2A-H2B deposition during transcription elongation and DNA replication. Recent studies have identified candidate histone residues that mediate FACT binding to histones, but it is not known which histone residues are important for FACT to deposit histones onto DNA during nucleosome assembly. In this study, we report that the histone H2B repression (HBR) domain within the H2B N-terminal tail is important for histone deposition by FACT. Deletion of the HBR domain causes significant defects in histone occupancy in the yeast genome, particularly at HBR-repressed genes, and a pronounced increase in H2A-H2B dimers that remain bound to FACT in vivo. Moreover, the HBR domain is required for purified FACT to efficiently assemble recombinant nucleosomes in vitro. We propose that the interaction between the highly basic HBR domain and DNA plays an important role in stabilizing the nascent nucleosome during the process of histone H2A-H2B deposition by FACT. 6 samples, 2 inputs and 4 ChIP samples for histone H2B (2 for wild-type and 2 for an H2B â30-37 mutant)

dKDM2 couples histone H2A ubiquitylation to histone H3 demethylation during Polycomb group silencing.

Project description:Transcription regulation involves enzyme-mediated changes in chromatin structure. Here, we describe a novel mode of histone crosstalk during gene silencing, in which histone H2A monoubiquitylation is coupled to the removal of histone H3 Lys 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2). This pathway was uncovered through the identification of dRING-associated factors (dRAF), a novel Polycomb group (PcG) silencing complex harboring the histone H2A ubiquitin ligase dRING, PSC and the F-box protein, and demethylase dKDM2. In vivo, dKDM2 shares many transcriptional targets with Polycomb and counteracts the histone methyltransferases TRX and ASH1. Importantly, cellular depletion and in vitro reconstitution assays revealed that dKDM2 not only mediates H3K36me2 demethylation but is also required for efficient H2A ubiquitylation by dRING/PSC. Thus, dRAF removes an active mark from histone H3 and adds a repressive one to H2A. These findings reveal coordinate trans-histone regulation by a PcG complex to mediate gene repression. Microarray analysis of dKDM2, dRING, PC, PH and PSC target genes in Drosophila S2 cells Expression profiles of Drosophila S2 cells RNAi depleted (KD) for dKDM2, dRING, PC, PH or PSC were compared with expression profile of untreated S2 cells (Mock)

Dzip3 regulates developmental genes in mouse embryonic stem cells by reorganizing 3D chromatin conformation [RNA-seq]

Project description:In mouse embryonic stem cells (mES cells), ubiquitylation of histone H2A lysine 119 represses a large number of developmental genes and maintains mES cell pluripotency. It has been suggested that a number of H2A ubiquitin ligases as well as deubiquitylases and related peptide fragments contribute to a delicate balance between self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation in mES cells. Here, we tested whether known H2A ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitylases are involved in mES cell regulation and discovered that Dzip3, the E3 ligase of H2AK119, represses differentiation-inducible genes as well as Ring1B. The two sets of target genes partially overlapped but had different spectra. We found that Dzip3 represses gene expression by orchestrating changes in 3D organization in addition to regulating ubiquitylation of H2A. Our results shed light on the epigenetic mechanism of transcriptional regulation, which depends on 3D chromatin reorganization to regulate mES cell differentiation. mouse ES cell mRNA profiles of control, Ring1B knock down, and Dzip3 knock down, in duplicate, using Illumina MiSeq.

LSD1 maintains mammary luminal cell differentiation and suppresses luminal breast cancer cell invasion

Project description:LSD1 (KDM1A) is a histone demethylase that plays both oncogenic and tumor suppressor roles in breast cancer. However, the exact contexts under which it plays these opposite roles remain largely elusive. By characterizing its role in normal and cancerous luminal mammary epithelial cells (MECs), here we show that LSD1 is essential for maintaining differentiation and survival of luminal cells. LSD1-inhibition by both genetic and pharmacological approaches increases invasion of luminal breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, we find LSD1 interacts with GATA3 and their common target genes are highly related to breast cancer. LSD1 positively regulates GATA3 expression and represses that of TRIM37, a histone H2A ubiquitin ligase and breast cancer oncoprotein. LSD1-loss leads to reduced expression of several cell junction genes (e.g., CDH1, VCL, CTNNA1), possibly via TRIM37-mediated repression. Collectively, our data suggest LSD1 largely plays a tumor suppressor role in luminal breast cancer and the increased MEC invasiveness associated with LSD1-inhibition can be blocked via TRIM37-inhibition.

Expression data from 17 day old testes of wild type and UBR2-/- mice

Project description:Ubiquitylation of histones provides an important mechanism regulating chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Recent studies have revealed ubiquitin ligases involved in histone ubiquitylation, yet the responsible enzymes and the function of histone ubiquitination in spermatogenesis remain unclear. Here we show that the ubiquitin ligase UBR2, one of the recognition E3 components of the N-end rule proteolytic pathway, localizes to meiotic chromatin regions, including unsynapsed axial elements linked to chromatin inactivation, and mediates, in combination with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme HR6B, the ubiquitination of histone H2A. UBR2 interacts with HR6B and H2A and promotes the HR6B-H2A interaction and the HR6B-to-H2A transfer of ubiquitin. UBR2 and ubiquitinated H2A (uH2A) spatiotemporally mark meiotic chromatin regions subject to transcriptional silencing, and UBR2-deficient spermatocytes fail to induce the ubiquitination of H2A during meiosis. UBR2-deficient spermatocytes are profoundly impaired in transcriptional silencing of genes linked to unsynapsed axes of the X and Y chromosomes. We propose a model, in which UBR2 on axial elements of the X-Y pair enables HR6B on the linked chromatin domain to repeat histone ubiquitination cycles while scanning a string of nucleosomes. Our results suggest that histone ubiquitination in germ cells may be mediated by E3-E2 pairs distinct from those in somatic cells, providing a new insight into chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. For each genotype, 2 testes were collected from different individual in same litter at 17 days old. Biotinylated cRNA was produced and hybridized on Affimetrix mouse genome 430A 2.0 array.
