Yeast Swd2 is essential because of antagonism between Set1 histone methyltransferase complex and APT (associated with Pta1) termination factor.

ABSTRACT: The Set1 complex (also known as complex associated with Set1 or COMPASS) methylates histone H3 on lysine 4, with different levels of methylation affecting transcription by recruiting various factors to distinct regions of active genes. Neither Set1 nor its associated proteins are essential for viability with the notable exception of Swd2, a WD repeat protein that is also a subunit of the essential transcription termination factor APT (associated with Pta1). Cells lacking Set1 lose COMPASS recruitment but show increased promoter cross-linking of TFIIE large subunit and the serine 5 phosphorylated form of the Rpb1 C-terminal domain. Although Swd2 is normally required for bringing APT to genes, deletion of SET1 restores both viability and APT recruitment to a strain lacking Swd2. We propose a model in which Swd2 is required for APT to overcome antagonism by COMPASS.

Histone H2B ubiquitylation promotes activity of the intact Set1 histone methyltransferase complex in fission yeast.

Project description:The methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me) is critical for the formation of transcriptionally active chromatin in eukaryotes. In yeast, Drosophila, and some human cell lines, H3K4me is globally stimulated by the monoubiquitylation of histone H2B (H2Bub1), another histone modification associated with transcription. The mechanism of this "trans-histone" modification pathway remains uncertain, and studies carried out in different experimental systems have suggested that H2Bub1 could either influence the subunit composition of methyltransferase complexes or directly stimulate methyltransferase activity. We have reconstituted this pathway in vitro using the native H3K4-specific methyltransferase complex Set1C purified from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and chromatin substrates that contain semisynthetic H2Bub1. We found that the activity of S. pombe Set1C toward nucleosomal histone H3 is directly enhanced by H2Bub1 in vitro. Importantly, Set1C purified from cells lacking H2Bub1 retained activity on free histone substrates, suggesting that Set1C remains intact in the absence of H2Bub1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed a defect in recruitment of intact Set1C to transcribed chromatin in H2Bub1-deficient mutants. Our data argue that trans-histone crosstalk in S. pombe involves direct enhancement of Set1C methyltransferase activity by H2Bub1 and suggest that this represents a conserved aspect of H2Bub1-H3K4me crosstalk in eukaryotes.

Cotranslational assembly of the yeast SET1C histone methyltransferase complex.

Project description:While probing the role of RNA for the function of SET1C/COMPASS histone methyltransferase, we identified SET1RC (SET1 mRNA-associated complex), a complex that contains SET1 mRNA and Set1, Swd1, Spp1 and Shg1, four of the eight polypeptides that constitute SET1C. Characterization of SET1RC showed that SET1 mRNA binding did not require associated Swd1, Spp1 and Shg1 proteins or RNA recognition motifs present in Set1. RNA binding was not observed when Set1 protein and SET1 mRNA were derived from independent genes or when SET1 transcripts were restricted to the nucleus. Importantly, the protein-RNA interaction was sensitive to EDTA, to the translation elongation inhibitor puromycin and to the inhibition of translation initiation in prt1-1 mutants. Taken together, our results support the idea that SET1 mRNA binding was dependent on translation and that SET1RC assembled on nascent Set1 in a cotranslational manner. Moreover, we show that cellular accumulation of Set1 is limited by the availability of certain SET1C components, such as Swd1 and Swd3, and suggest that cotranslational protein interactions may exert an effect in the protection of nascent Set1 from degradation.

Quantitative dissection and stoichiometry determination of the human SET1/MLL histone methyltransferase complexes.

Project description:Methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) at promoters is tightly linked to transcriptional regulation in human cells. At least six different COMPASS-like multisubunit (SET1/MLL) complexes that contain methyltransferase activity for H3K4 have been described, but a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of these SET1/MLL complexes is lacking. We applied label-free quantitative mass spectrometry to determine the subunit composition and stoichiometry of the human SET1/MLL complexes. We identified both known and novel, unique and shared interactors and determined their distribution and stoichiometry over the different SET1/MLL complexes. In addition to being a core COMPASS subunit, the Dpy30 protein is a genuine subunit of the NURF chromatin remodeling complex. Furthermore, we identified the Bod1 protein as a discriminator between the SET1B and SET1A complexes, and we show that the H3K36me-interactor Psip1 preferentially binds to the MLL2 complex. Finally, absolute protein quantification in crude lysates mirrors many of the observed SET1/MLL complex stoichiometries. Our findings provide a molecular framework for understanding the diversity and abundance of the different SET1/MLL complexes, which together establish the H3K4 methylation landscape in human cells.

Transcriptome analysis of yeast methyltransferase mutants set5∆, set1∆ and set5∆set1∆

Project description:Purpose: Understand the synergistic relationship between the methyltransferases Set1 and Set5 in the regulation of gene expression. Methods: Total mRNA was obtained from two independent biological replicates each of wildtype (WT), set1∆, set5∆, SET5 Y402A and set1∆set5∆ S. cerevisiae strains. Libraries were generated and sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped using TopHat and expression levels were quantified using Cufflinks. Results: We generated FPKM expression values for each transcript and identified the differentially expressed genes using an FDR-adjusted p-value of 0.05. Subsequent data analysis was restricted to genes with fold-change greater than 1.7 relative to WT. Our results show that Set1 and Set5 have roles primarily in transcription repression. Moreover, lack of both Set1 and Set5 results in a synergistic exhacerbation of the transcriptional derepression observed in the single mutants. Further analysis revealed a specific enrichment of the Set5/Set1-repressed genes near repetitive DNA sequences of the genome. Conclusions: Our study uncovers an unexpected synergistic role of Set1 and Set5 in transcription repression of telomeric regions and Ty retrotransposons.

Molecular Architecture of the Essential Yeast Histone Acetyltransferase Complex NuA4 Redefines Its Multimodularity.

Project description:Conserved from yeast to humans, the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase is a large multisubunit complex essential for cell viability through the regulation of gene expression, genome maintenance, metabolism, and cell fate during development and stress. How the different NuA4 subunits work in concert with one another to perform these diverse functions remains unclear, and addressing this central question requires a comprehensive understanding of NuA4's molecular architecture and subunit organization. We have determined the structure of fully assembled native yeast NuA4 by single-particle electron microscopy. Our data revealed that NuA4 adopts a trilobal overall architecture, with each of the three lobes constituted by one or two functional modules. By performing cross-linking coupled to mass spectrometry analysis and in vitro protein interaction studies, we further mapped novel intermolecular interfaces within NuA4. Finally, we combined these new data with other known structural information of NuA4 subunits and subassemblies to construct a multiscale model to illustrate how the different NuA4 subunits and modules are spatially arranged. This model shows that the multiple chromatin reader domains are clustered together around the catalytic core, suggesting that NuA4's multimodular architecture enables it to engage in multivalent interactions with its nucleosome substrate.

Cla4 phosphorylates histone methyltransferase Set1 to prevent its degradation by the APC/CCdh1 complex

Project description:The expression of chromatin modifying enzymes needs to be tightly controlled to ensure proper distribution of chromatin modifications. H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is a conserved histone modification catalyzed by histone methyltransferase Set1 and its dysregulation is associated with pathologies. Here, we show that Set1 is intrinsically unstable and its protein levels are strictly controlled by ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation within the cell cycle and during gene transcription. Specifically, Set1 contains a destruction box (D-box) that can be recognized by the E3 ligase APC/CCdh1 complex and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Cla4 phosphorylates serine 228 (S228) within Set1 D-box, which inhibits APC/CCdh1-mediated Set1 proteolysis. During gene transcription, the RNA polymerase II-associated PAF complex facilitates Cla4 to phosphorylate Set1-S228 and protect the chromatin-bound Set1 from degradation. By modulating the stability of Set1, Cla4 and the APC/CCdh1 complex control H3K4me3 levels, which then regulates gene transcription, cell cycle progression and chronological aging. In addition to Set1, there are 141 proteins containing the D-box that can be potentially phosphorylated by Cla4 to prevent their degradation by the APC/CCdh1 complex. Thus, we not only addressed the long-standing question about how Set1 stability is controlled, but also uncovered a new mechanism to regulate protein stability

ATF7IP-Mediated Stabilization of the Histone Methyltransferase SETDB1 Is Essential for Heterochromatin Formation by the HUSH Complex.

Project description:The histone methyltransferase SETDB1 plays a central role in repressive chromatin processes, but the functional requirement for its binding partner ATF7IP has remained enigmatic. Here, we show that ATF7IP is essential for SETDB1 stability: nuclear SETDB1 protein is degraded by the proteasome upon ablation of ATF7IP. As a result, ATF7IP is critical for repression that requires H3K9 trimethylation by SETDB1, including transgene silencing by the HUSH complex. Furthermore, we show that loss of ATF7IP phenocopies loss of SETDB1 in genome-wide assays. ATF7IP and SETDB1 knockout cells exhibit near-identical defects in the global deposition of H3K9me3, which results in similar dysregulation of the transcriptome. Overall, these data identify a critical functional role for ATF7IP in heterochromatin formation by regulating SETDB1 abundance in the nucleus.

The catalytic activity of the translation termination factor methyltransferase Mtq2-Trm112 complex is required for large ribosomal subunit biogenesis.

Project description:The Mtq2-Trm112 methyltransferase modifies the eukaryotic translation termination factor eRF1 on the glutamine side chain of a universally conserved GGQ motif that is essential for release of newly synthesized peptides. Although this modification is found in the three domains of life, its exact role in eukaryotes remains unknown. As the deletion of MTQ2 leads to severe growth impairment in yeast, we have investigated its role further and tested its putative involvement in ribosome biogenesis. We found that Mtq2 is associated with nuclear 60S subunit precursors, and we demonstrate that its catalytic activity is required for nucleolar release of pre-60S and for efficient production of mature 5.8S and 25S rRNAs. Thus, we identify Mtq2 as a novel ribosome assembly factor important for large ribosomal subunit formation. We propose that Mtq2-Trm112 might modify eRF1 in the nucleus as part of a quality control mechanism aimed at proof-reading the peptidyl transferase center, where it will subsequently bind during translation termination.

The Set1/COMPASS histone H3 methyltransferase helps regulate mitosis with the CDK1 and NIMA mitotic kinases in Aspergillus nidulans.

Project description:Mitosis is promoted and regulated by reversible protein phosphorylation catalyzed by the essential NIMA and CDK1 kinases in the model filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Protein methylation mediated by the Set1/COMPASS methyltransferase complex has also been shown to regulate mitosis in budding yeast with the Aurora mitotic kinase. We uncover a genetic interaction between An-swd1, which encodes a subunit of the Set1 protein methyltransferase complex, with NIMA as partial inactivation of nimA is poorly tolerated in the absence of swd1. This genetic interaction is additionally seen without the Set1 methyltransferase catalytic subunit. Importantly partial inactivation of NIMT, a mitotic activator of the CDK1 kinase, also causes lethality in the absence of Set1 function, revealing a functional relationship between the Set1 complex and two pivotal mitotic kinases. The main target for Set1-mediated methylation is histone H3K4. Mutational analysis of histone H3 revealed that modifying the H3K4 target residue of Set1 methyltransferase activity phenocopied the lethality seen when either NIMA or CDK1 are partially functional. We probed the mechanistic basis of these genetic interactions and find that the Set1 complex performs functions with CDK1 for initiating mitosis and with NIMA during progression through mitosis. The studies uncover a joint requirement for the Set1 methyltransferase complex with the CDK1 and NIMA kinases for successful mitosis. The findings extend the roles of the Set1 complex to include the initiation of mitosis with CDK1 and mitotic progression with NIMA in addition to its previously identified interactions with Aurora and type 1 phosphatase in budding yeast.
