Project description:Study to investigate the role of histone residues H3K4 and H3K36 for gene expression, histone localization and neuronal lineage specification by mutation of K4 and K36 in H3.3 to alanine. Histone variant H3.3 differs from the canonical H3.1/H3.2 by only 4 to 5 amino acids, which are necessary for nucleosome assembly independent of DNA replication, and is encoded by two gene copies. Complete loss of the two H3.3 genes (H3f3a and H3f3b) leads to embryonic lethality while single gene knockout yields viable mice. We used CRISPR-Cas9 to delete H3f3a and introduce homozygous point-mutations into H3f3b, thus ensuring that the entire pool of H3.3 protein carries the mutation of interest. We differentiated H3.3ctrl (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b wild type), H3.3K4A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K4A) and H3.3K36A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K36A) ESCs into glutamatergic neurons. Gene expression profiles were measured by mRNA-Sequencing in undifferentiated ESCs (D0), neurodevelopment (D8) and differentiated neurons (D12) to assess the impact of the mutation on gene expression and development.

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 or K27. Two control mESC lines carrying knock-out of the H3f3a gene were used as background for the editing. To profile nascent RNA levels in H3.3 mutant and control mESCs, two rounds of PRO-seq experiment were performed. In the first round, three replicates each of H3.3K9A and control (i.e., Ctrl_9) mESCs were used. In the second round, two replicates each of H3.3K27A and control (i.e., Ctrl_27) mESCs were used. After permeabilization of the mESCs (and addition of 5% Drosophila S2 cells spike-in), a 2 biotin run-on reaction using biotin-11-UTP and biotin-11-CTP was carried out to label nascent transcripts. Biotinylated nascent RNA was then enriched as part of the library preparation process. Sequencing was performed on a NextSeq500 platform in single-end mode (75bp reads). The experiment allows for an assesment of the changes in the activity of cis-regulatory elements, upon removal of H3.3 K9 or K27 residues.

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. To compare the transcriptional profiles of the H3.3 mutant and control mESC lines, three independent replicates per condition were grown and RNA was extracted. After quality assessment of the RNA, messenger RNA was isolated using the NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module (New England BioLabs) and sequencing libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II RNA Library Preparation Kit for Illumina (New England BioLabs). Sequencing was performed on a NextSeq500 platform in single-end mode (75bp reads).

Project description:Histone variant H3.3 is encoded by two genes, H3f3a and H3f3b, which can be expressed differentially depending on tissue type. Previous work in our lab has shown that knockout of H3f3b causes some neonatal lethality and infertility in mice, and chromosomal defects in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Studies of H3f3a and H3f3b null mice by others have produced generally similar phenotypes to what we found in our H3f3b nulls, but the relative impacts of loss of either H3f3a or H3f3b have varied depending on the approach and genetic background. Here we used a knockout-first approach to target the H3f3a gene for inactivation in C57BL6/J mice. Homozygous H3f3a targeting produced a lethal phenotype at or before birth. E13.5 embryos had some potential morphological differences from WT littermates including smaller size and reduced head size, while an E18.5 null embryo was smaller than its control littermates with several potential defects including small head and brain size as well as small lungs, which would be consistent with a late gestation lethal phenotype. Despite a reduction in H3.3 and total H3 protein levels, the only histone H3 post-translational modification in the small panel assessed that was significantly altered was the unique H3.3 mark phospho-Serine31, which was consistently increased in null neurospheres. H3f3a null neurospheres also exhibited consistent gene expression changes including in protocadherins. Overall, our findings are consistent with the model that there are differential, cell-type-specific contributions of H3f3a and H3f3b to H3.3 functions in epigenetic and developmental processes.

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: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. Low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (~0.8/0.9X) was performed to assess the chromosomal integrity of the edited lines. Genomic DNA was extracted from each mutant and control mESC line and sonicated to obtain fragments of ~150-200bp on average. Fragmented DNA (~0.5-1 ug) was used for library preparation using the NEBNext Ultra II DNA library preparation kit (New England Biolabs). Sequencing was performed on a NextSeq500 platform in single-end mode (75bp reads).

Project description:Background. The histone variant H3.3 plays key roles in regulating chromatin states and transcription. However, the role of endogenous H3.3 in mammalian cells and during development has been less thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, we report the production and phenotypic analysis of mice and cells with targeted disruption of the H3.3-encoding gene, H3f3b. Results. H3f3b KO mice exhibit a semi-lethal phenotype traceable at least in part to defective cell division and chromosome segregation. H3f3b KO cells have widespread ectopic CENP-A protein localization suggesting one possible mechanism for defective chromosome segregation. KO cells have abnormal karyotypes and cell cycle profiles as well. The transcriptome and euchromatin-related epigenome were moderately affected by loss of H3f3b in MEFs with ontology most notably pointing to changes in chromatin regulatory and histone coding genes. Reduced numbers of H3f3b KO mice survive to maturity and almost all survivors from both sexes are infertile. Conclusions. Taken together, our studies suggest that endogenous mammalian histone H3.3 has important roles in regulating chromatin and chromosome functions that in turn are important for cell division, genome integrity, and development.

Project description:Histone variants, which can be expressed outside of S-phase and deposited DNA synthesis-independently, provide long-term histone replacement in postmitotic cells, including neurons. Beyond replenishment, histone variants also play active roles in gene regulation by modulating chromatin states or enabling nucleosome turnover. Here, we uncover crucial roles for the histone H3 variant H3.3 in neuronal development. We find that newborn cortical excitatory neurons, which have only just completed replication-coupled deposition of canonical H3.1 and H3.2, substantially accumulate H3.3 immediately post mitosis. Co-deletion of H3.3-encoding genes H3f3a and H3f3b from newly postmitotic neurons abrogates H3.3 accumulation, markedly alters the histone posttranslational modification (PTM) landscape, and causes widespread disruptions to the establishment of the neuronal transcriptome. These changes coincide with developmental phenotypes in neuronal identities and axon projections. Thus, preexisting, replication-dependent histones are insufficient for establishing neuronal chromatin and transcriptome; de novo H3.3 is required. Stage-dependent deletion of H3f3a and H3f3b from (1) cycling neural progenitor cells, (2) neurons immediately post mitosis, or (3) several days later, reveals the first postmitotic days to be a critical window for de novo H3.3. After H3.3 accumulation within this developmental window, co-deletion of H3f3a and H3f3b does not lead to immediate H3.3 loss, but causes progressive H3.3 depletion over several months without widespread transcriptional disruptions or cellular phenotypes. Our study thus uncovers key developmental roles for de novo H3.3 in establishing neuronal chromatin, transcriptome, identity, and connectivity immediately post mitosis that are distinct from its role in maintaining total histone H3 levels over the neuronal lifespan.
