Histone Deubiquitinase OTU1 Epigenetically Regulates DA1 and DA2, Which Control Arabidopsis Seed and Organ Size.

ABSTRACT: Seeds are central to plant life cycle and to human nutrition, functioning as the major supplier of human population energy intake. To understand better the roles of enzymic writers and erasers of the epigenetic marks, in particular, histone ubiquitylation and the corresponding histone modifiers, involved in control of seed development, we identified the otubain-like cysteine protease OTU1 as a histone deubiquitinase involved in transcriptional repression of the DA1 and DA2 genes known to regulate seed and organ size in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutants of OTU1 accumulate H2B monoubiquitylation and such euchromatic marks as H3 trimethylation and hyperacetylation in the DA1 and DA2 chromatin. These data advance our knowledge about epigenetic regulation of the DA1 and DA2 genes by recognizing OTU1 as a member of a putative repressor complex that negatively regulates their transcription.

Coordinate activation of a target gene by KDM1C histone demethylase and OTLD1 histone deubiquitinase in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Potential functional coordination between histone deubiquitinases and histone lysine demethylases represents one of the least studied aspects of epigenetic control of transcriptional outcomes. Here, this question was addressed using Arabidopsis histone modification erasers deubiquitinase OTLD1 and demethylase KDM1C known to interact with each other in plant cells. Characterization of gain- and loss-of-function mutants of OTLD1 and KDM1C showed that both enzymes associate with the promoter chromatin of their target gene AN3 and function as coactivators of its expression. This transcriptional outcome was underlain by demethylation of the H3K9 repression mark, presumably by the KDM1C histone demethylase activity. Association of KDM1C and OTLD1 with the target chromatin was interdependent such that OTLD1 was not detected at the AN3 in the absence of KDM1C and KDM1C displayed a different and non-functional pattern of association in the absence of OTLD1. Thus, OTLD1 and KDM1C may crosstalk with each other to assemble a functional coactivator complex at the AN3 promoter chromatin and set the KDM1C specificity for the methylated H3K9 to determine the correct transcriptional outcome.

Control of B cell development by the histone H2A deubiquitinase MYSM1.

Project description:Epigenetic histone modifications play critical roles in the control of gene transcription. Recently, an increasing number of histone H2A deubiquitinases have been identified and characterized. However, the physiological functions for this entire group of histone H2A deubiquitinases remain unknown. In this study, we revealed that the histone H2A deubiquitinase MYSM1 plays an essential and intrinsic role in early B cell development. MYSM1 deficiency results in a block in early B cell commitment and a defect of B cell progenitors in expression of EBF1 and other B lymphoid genes. We further demonstrated that MYSM1 derepresses EBF1 transcription in B cell progenitors by orchestrating histone modifications and transcription factor recruitment to the EBF1 locus. Thus, this study not only uncovers the essential role for MYSM1 in gene transcription during early B cell development but also underscores the biological significance of reversible epigenetic histone H2A ubiquitination.

STERILE APETALA modulates the stability of a repressor protein complex to control organ size in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Organ size control is of particular importance for developmental biology and agriculture, but the mechanisms underlying organ size regulation remain elusive in plants. Meristemoids, which possess stem cell-like properties, have been recognized to play important roles in leaf growth. We have recently reported that the Arabidopsis F-box protein STERILE APETALA (SAP)/SUPPRESSOR OF DA1 (SOD3) promotes meristemoid proliferation and regulates organ size by influencing the stability of the transcriptional regulators PEAPODs (PPDs). Here we demonstrate that KIX8 and KIX9, which function as adaptors for the corepressor TOPLESS and PPD, are novel substrates of SAP. SAP interacts with KIX8/9 and modulates their protein stability. Further results show that SAP acts in a common pathway with KIX8/9 and PPD to control organ growth by regulating meristemoid cell proliferation. Thus, these findings reveal a molecular mechanism by which SAP targets the KIX-PPD repressor complex for degradation to regulate meristemoid cell proliferation and organ size.

The histone H2A deubiquitinase Usp16 regulates hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell function.

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms play important regulatory roles in hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function. Subunits of polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), the major histone H2A ubiquitin ligase, are critical for both normal and pathological hematopoiesis; however, it is unclear which of the several counteracting H2A deubiquitinases functions along with PRC1 to control H2A ubiquitination (ubH2A) level and regulates hematopoiesis in vivo. Here we investigated the function of Usp16 in mouse hematopoiesis. Conditional deletion of Usp16 in bone marrow resulted in a significant increase of global ubH2A level and lethality. Usp16 deletion did not change HSC number but was associated with a dramatic reduction of mature and progenitor cell populations, revealing a role in governing HSC lineage commitment. ChIP- and RNA-sequencing studies in HSC and progenitor cells revealed that Usp16 bound to many important hematopoietic regulators and that Usp16 deletion altered the expression of genes in transcription/chromosome organization, immune response, hematopoietic/lymphoid organ development, and myeloid/leukocyte differentiation. The altered gene expression was partly rescued by knockdown of PRC1 subunits, suggesting that Usp16 and PRC1 counterbalance each other to regulate cellular ubH2A level and gene expression in the hematopoietic system. We further discovered that knocking down Cdkn1a (p21cip1), a Usp16 target and regulated gene, rescued the altered cell cycle profile and differentiation defect of Usp16-deleted HSCs. Collectively, these studies identified Usp16 as one of the histone H2A deubiquitinases, which coordinates with the H2A ubiquitin ligase PRC1 to regulate hematopoiesis, and revealed cell cycle regulation by Usp16 as key for HSC differentiation.

The Histone Demethylase IBM1 Positively Regulates Arabidopsis Immunity by Control of Defense Gene Expression.

Project description:Epigenetic modifications involve complex and sophisticated control over chromatin states and DNA methylation patterns, which are important for stress tolerance in plants. While the identification of epigenetic modulating enzymes keeps growing, such as MET1, for CG methylation; CMT3, DRM2, DRM3 for CHH methylation; and IBM1, SUVH4 for CHG methylation; the molecular roles of these regulators in specific physiological functions remain obscure. In a mutant screen, we identified IBM1 as a new player in plant immunity. The ibm1 mutants were hyper-susceptible to hemi-biotrophic bacteria Pseudomonas syringae. Accordingly, bacteria-induced up-regulation of PR1, PR2, and FRK1 defense markers was abolished in ibm1 mutants. Consistently, at the chromatin level, these defense marker genes showed enrichment of the inactivation mark, H3K9me2; while the activation mark H3K4me3 was reduced in ibm1 mutants. Immunoprecipitation of associated chromatin further demonstrated that IBM1 binds directly to the gene body of PR1, PR2, and FRK1. Taken together, these data suggest that IBM1 plays a critical role in modulating Arabidopsis immunity through direct regulation of defense gene expression. Notably, IBM1 maintains a permissive chromatin environment to ensure proper induction of defense genes under some biotic stress.

Localized JNK signaling regulates organ size during development.

Project description:A fundamental question of biology is what determines organ size. Despite demonstrations that factors within organs determine their sizes, intrinsic size control mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that Drosophila wing size is regulated by JNK signaling during development. JNK is active in a stripe along the center of developing wings, and modulating JNK signaling within this stripe changes organ size. This JNK stripe influences proliferation in a non-canonical, Jun-independent manner by inhibiting the Hippo pathway. Localized JNK activity is established by Hedgehog signaling, where Ci elevates dTRAF1 expression. As the dTRAF1 homolog, TRAF4, is amplified in numerous cancers, these findings provide a new mechanism for how the Hedgehog pathway could contribute to tumorigenesis, and, more importantly, provides a new strategy for cancer therapies. Finally, modulation of JNK signaling centers in developing antennae and legs changes their sizes, suggesting a more generalizable role for JNK signaling in developmental organ size control.

Epigenetic control of natural killer cell maturation by histone H2A deubiquitinase, MYSM1.

Project description:Histone modifications play critical roles in regulating immunity; however, little is known about the epigenetic control of natural killer (NK) cell development. Here, we found that NK cell development is severely impaired in mice deficient in the histone H2A deubiquitinase MYSM1. We demonstrated that MYSM1 is required for NK cell maturation but not for NK lineage specification and commitment. We also found that MYSM1 intrinsically controls this NK cell maturation. Mechanistic studies revealed that the expression of transcription factor, inhibitor of DNA-binding protein (ID2), a critical factor for NK cell development, is impaired in Mysm1(-/-) NK cells. MYSM1 interacts with nuclear factor IL-3 (NFIL3, also known as E4BP4), a critical factor for mouse NK cell development, and the recruitment of nuclear factor Il-3 to the ID2 locus is dependent on MYSM1. Further, we observed that MYSM1 is involved in maintaining an active chromatin at the ID2 locus to promote NK cell development. Hence this study demonstrates the critical epigenetic regulation of NK cell development by the histone H2A deubiquitinase MYSM1 through the transcriptional control of transcription factors important for NK cell development.

Nuclear Localised MORE SULPHUR ACCUMULATION1 Epigenetically Regulates Sulphur Homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Sulphur (S) is an essential element for all living organisms. The uptake, assimilation and metabolism of S in plants are well studied. However, the regulation of S homeostasis remains largely unknown. Here, we report on the identification and characterisation of the more sulphur accumulation1 (msa1-1) mutant. The MSA1 protein is localized to the nucleus and is required for both S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) production and DNA methylation. Loss of function of the nuclear localised MSA1 leads to a reduction in SAM in roots and a strong S-deficiency response even at ample S supply, causing an over-accumulation of sulphate, sulphite, cysteine and glutathione. Supplementation with SAM suppresses this high S phenotype. Furthermore, mutation of MSA1 affects genome-wide DNA methylation, including the methylation of S-deficiency responsive genes. Elevated S accumulation in msa1-1 requires the increased expression of the sulphate transporter genes SULTR1;1 and SULTR1;2 which are also differentially methylated in msa1-1. Our results suggest a novel function for MSA1 in the nucleus in regulating SAM biosynthesis and maintaining S homeostasis epigenetically via DNA methylation.

Ubiquitin-mediated control of seed size in plants.

Project description:Seed size in higher plants is an important agronomic trait, and is also crucial for evolutionary fitness. In flowering plants, the seed comprises three major anatomical components, the embryo, the endosperm and the seed coat, each with different genetic compositions. Therefore, seed size is coordinately determined by the growth of the embryo, endosperm and maternal tissue. Recent studies have revealed multiple pathways that influence seed size in plants. Several factors involved in ubiquitin-related activities have been recently known to determine seed size in Arabidopsis and rice. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of ubiquitin-mediated control of seed size and discuss the role of the ubiquitin pathway in seed size control.

Genome-Wide Analysis of DA1-Like Genes in Gossypium and Functional Characterization of GhDA1-1A Controlling Seed Size.

Project description:Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an economically important crop grown for natural fiber and seed oil production. DA1 is a ubiquitin receptor that determines final seed and organ size by restricting the period of cell proliferation. In the present study, we identified 7 DA1-like genes each in cultivated tetraploid (AADD) G. hirsutum and G. barbadense, and 4 and 3 DA1-like genes in their ancestral diploid G. arboreum (A2A2) and G. raimondii (D5D5), respectively. The 7 GhDA1 genes were confirmed to be distributed on four At and three Dt subgenome chromosomes in G. hirsutum. GhDA1-1A showed a high sequence similarity to AtDA1 in Arabidopsis, and they possessed the same functional domains, suggesting conserved functions. The overexpression of GhDA1-1A R301K in Arabidopsis significantly increased seed size and seed weight, indicating that GhDA1-1A is a promising target for cotton improvement. This study provides information on the molecular evolutionary properties of DA1-like genes in cotton, which will be useful for the genetic improvement of cotton.
