Project description:The mechanisms that recruit the major Polycomb-group (PcG) complexes PRC1 and PRC2 to target sites in vertebrate cells are not well understood. Building on recent studies that have determined a reciprocal relationship between DNA methylation and Polycomb activity, we demonstrate that in methylation deficient ES cells CpG density, combined with antagonistic effects of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3, redirect PcG complexes to pericentric heterochromatin and gene rich domains. In this experiment we have assayed the genomic distribution of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 marks,

Project description:In the Metazoan germline, piwi proteins and associated piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) provide a defense system against the expression of transposable elements. In the cytoplasm, piRNA sequences guide piwi complexes to destroy complementary transposon transcripts by endonucleolytic cleavage. However, some piwi family members are nuclear, raising the possibility of alternative pathways for piRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression. We found that Drosophila Piwi is recruited to chromatin, co-localizing with RNA polymerase II on polytene chromosomes. Knockdown of Piwi in the germline increases expression of transposable elements that are targeted by piRNAs, whereas protein-coding genes remain largely unaffected. De-repression of transposons upon Piwi depletion correlates with increased occupancy of RNA polymerase II on their promoters. Expression of piRNAs that target a reporter construct results in a decrease in Pol II occupancy and an increase in repressive H3K9me3 marks and HP1 on the reporter locus. Our results indicate that Piwi identifies targets complementary to the associated piRNA and induces transcriptional repression by establishing a repressive chromatin state when correct targets are found. Examination of mRNA levels, Pol II occupancy, and chromatin repressive state in D. melanogaster ovaries upon Piwi knockdown and Piwi mutation. This records present the sequencing data related to Piwi knockdown study portion.

Project description:The histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9)-specific methyltransferase (KMT) Setdb1 is essential for both stem cell pluripotency and terminal differentiation of different cell types. To shed light on Setdb1 role(s) in these mutually exclusive processes, we used mouse skeletal myoblasts as a model of terminal differentiation. Ex vivo studies on isolated single myofibres showed that Setdb1 is required for muscle adult stem cells expansion following activation and in vitro studies on skeletal myoblasts confirmed that Setdb1 suppresses terminal myoblast differentiation. We used genome-wide analyses to identify Setdb1 direct target genes in myoblasts and observed a release of Setdb1 from the promoter of selected target genes upon myoblast terminal differentiation, concomitant to a nuclear export of Setdb1 to the cytoplasm. We demonstrated that both genomic release and cytoplasmic Setdb1 relocalisation during differentiation were dependent on canonical Wnt signalling. Taken together, our findings uncover a functional link between Setdb1 and canonical Wnt signalling in skeletal muscle cells, which affects the expression of a subset of Setdb1 target genes. We revealed Wnt-dependent subcellular relocalisation of Setdb1 as a novel mechanism regulating Setdb1 functions. ChIP-seq of Setdb1 and H3K9me3 in Myoblast cells (C2C12)

Project description:Little is known about the epigenomics of liposarcoma (LPS). Here, we profiled the global expression of 9 epigenetic marks in well differentiated (WD) and dedifferentiated (DD) LPS from 151 patients and found increased H3K9me3 among DDLPS tumors. We performed ChIP-seq and gene expression profiling of patient derived cell lines to discover functionally significant regions of differential H3K9me3 enrichment between WDLPS and DDLPS associated with concomitant gene expression changes. We performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling of H3K9me3 in dedifferentiated liposarcoma DDLPS and well differentiated liposarcoma WDLPS cell lines.

Project description:A large fraction of our genome consists of mobile genetic elements. Governing transposons in germ cells is critically important, and failure to do so compromises genome integrity, leading to sterility. In animals, the piRNA pathway is the key to transposon constraint, yet the precise molecular details of how piRNAs are formed and how the pathway represses mobile elements remain poorly understood. In an effort to identify general requirements for transposon control and novel components of the piRNA pathway, we carried out a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila ovarian somatic sheet cells. We identified and validated 87 genes necessary for transposon silencing. Among these were several novel piRNA biogenesis factors. We also found CG3893 (asterix) to be essential for transposon silencing, most likely by contributing to the effector step of transcriptional repression. Asterix loss leads to decreases in H3K9me3 marks on certain transposons but has no effect on piRNA levels. We sequenced small RNAs, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq from either tj-Gal4 driven hpRNA knockdown flies or P-element insertion flies

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (i.e., mESCs; line ESC 129-B13) were genetically modified using CRISPR-Cas9 to mutate the H3f3b locus, in order to carry homozygous lysine-to-alanine substitution of residues K9, K27 or K79. Two control mESC lines carrying knock-out of the H3f3a gene were used as background for the editing. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to profile the changes in histone modifications, in the different H3.3 mutant mESC lines. The following histone modifications were profiled: H3K27ac (39685, Active Motif), H3K9ac (C5B11-9649, Cell Signalling Technology), H3K27me3 (C36B11, Cell Signalling Technology), H3K9me2 (D85B4, Cell Signalling Technology), H3K9me3 (D4W1U, Cell Signalling Technology). H3.3 (09-838, Merck-Millipore, purified polyclonal) ChIP-seq was performed in order to profile the deposition of this histone variant in the H3.3 K9A and K27A mESC mutant lines. SUZ12 (D39F6-3737, Cell Signalling Technology) ChIP-seq was performed to profile the genomic distribution of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (i.e., PRC2). Two to three independent replicates per condition were grown and harvested for each ChIP experiment. Matched input controls were also generated in every experiment. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II library preparation kit (New England Biolabs) and sequenced on NextSeq500 or NextSeq2000 platforms in single-end mode.

Project description:Histone Deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is known to contribute to cardiac remodeling processes. We wanted to identify and compare different genome wide targets of HDAC4 to well described interaction partners and its functional consequences. Therefore, we used a model of adult cardiomyocytes isolated from HDAC4 knockout mice and Wildtyp (WT) controls. We looked for HDAC4s contribution to changes of activating histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac) and repressive pendants (H3K9me2 and H3K27me3).

Project description:We determined genome-wide nucleosome occupancy in mouse embryonic stem cells and their neural progenitor and embryonic fibroblast counterparts to assess features associated with nucleosome positioning during lineage commitment. Cell type and protein specific binding preferences of transcription factors to sites with either low (e.g. Myc, Klf4, Zfx) or high (e.g. Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2) nucleosome occupancy as well as complex patterns for CTCF were identified. Nucleosome depleted regions around transcription start and termination sites were broad and more pronounced for active genes, with distinct patterns for promoters classified according to their CpG-content or histone methylation marks. Throughout the genome nucleosome occupancy was dependent on the presence of certain histone methylation or acetylation modifications. In addition, the average nucleosome-repeat length increased during differentiation by 5-7 base pairs, with local variations for specific genomic regions. Our results reveal regulatory mechanisms of cell differentiation acting through nucleosome repositioning. For chromatin immunoprecipitation, for each sample, 1 x 106 cells were cross-linked with 1% PFA and cell nuclei were prepared using a swelling buffer (25 mM Hepes pH 7.8, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, 0.1% NP-40, 1 mM DTT). Chromatin was sheared to mononucleosomal fragments. After IgG preclearance the sheared chromatin was incubated with 4 µg of either a H3K9ac (Abcam, ab4441), a H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729), or a H3K9me3 (Abcam ab8898) antibody over night. After washes with sonication (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% N-lauroylsarcosine, 0.1% Na-deoxycholate), high-salt- (50 mM Hepes pH 7.9, 500 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% Na-deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS), lithium- (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA, 250 mM LiCl, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5% Na-deoxycholate) and 10 mM Tris-HCl, chromatin was eluted from the protein G magnetic beads and the crosslink was reversed over night. After RNase A and proteinase K digestion, the DNA was purified and subsequently cloned into a multiplexed Illumina library according to standard protocols. Sequenced 50 bp reads were mapped with bowtie and subsequently clustered with MACS 55 implemented in the Genomatix software suite (Genomatix, Munich, Germany) using a p-value of 10-5.

Project description:Transcription of the several hundred of mouse and human Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes accounts for the majority of RNA synthesis in the cell nucleus and is the determinant of cytoplasmic ribosome abundance, a key factor in regulating gene expression. The rRNA genes, referred to globally as the rDNA, are clustered as direct repeats at the Nucleolar Organiser Regions, NORs, of several chromosomes, and in many cells the active repeats are transcribed at near saturation levels. The rDNA is also a hotspot of recombination and chromosome breakage, and hence understanding its control has broad importance. Despite the need for a high level of rDNA transcription, typically only a fraction of the rDNA is transcriptionally active, and some NORs are permanently silenced by CpG methylation. Various chromatin-remodelling complexes have been implicated in counteracting silencing to maintain rDNA activity. However, the chromatin structure of the active rDNA fraction is still far from clear. Here we have combined a high-resolution ChIP-Seq protocol with conditional inactivation of key basal factors to better understand what determines active rDNA chromatin. The data resolve questions concerning the interdependence of the basal transcription factors, show that preinitiation complex formation is driven by the architectural factor UBF (UBTF) independently of transcription, and exclude a significant role for termination by a torpedomechanism. They further reveal the existence of an asymmetric Boundary Complex formed by CTCF, Cohesin and three phased nucleosomes lying adjacent to the rDNA Enhancer and an arrested RNA Polymerase I complex. We find that this complex is the only site of active histone modification in the whole 45kbp rDNA repeat. Strikingly, the Enhancer Boundary Complex not only delimits each functional rRNA gene, but also is stably maintained after gene inactivation and the re-establishment of surrounding repressive chromatin. Our data define the poised state of rDNA chromatin and place the Enhancer Boundary Complex as the likely entry point for the chromatin remodelling complexes.
