Extensive SUMO Modification of Repressive Chromatin Factors Distinguishes Pluripotent from Somatic Cells.

ABSTRACT: Post-translational modification by SUMO is a key regulator of cell identity. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), SUMO impedes reprogramming to pluripotency, while in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), it represses the emergence of totipotent-like cells, suggesting that SUMO targets distinct substrates to preserve somatic and pluripotent states. Using MS-based proteomics, we show that the composition of endogenous SUMOylomes differs dramatically between MEFs and ESCs. In MEFs, SUMO2/3 targets proteins associated with canonical SUMO functions, such as splicing, and transcriptional regulators driving somatic enhancer selection. In contrast, in ESCs, SUMO2/3 primarily modifies highly interconnected repressive chromatin complexes, thereby preventing chromatin opening and transitioning to totipotent-like states. We also characterize several SUMO-modified pluripotency factors and show that SUMOylation of Dppa2 and Dppa4 impedes the conversion to 2-cell-embryo-like states. Altogether, we propose that rewiring the repertoire of SUMO target networks is a major driver of cell fate decision during embryonic development.

Extensive SUMO modification of chromatin factors distinguishes pluripotent from somatic cells

Project description:The post-translational modification of proteins by SUMO acts as a key gatekeeper of cell identity. In mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEFs), SUMO impedes reprogramming to pluripotency, while in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), it represses the emergence of totipotent-like cells, suggesting that SUMO targets distinct sets of substrates to preserve the somatic and pluripotent states. Using MS-based proteomics, we show here that the composition of the endogenous SUMOylomes differs dramatically between MEFs and ESCs. In MEFs, SUMOylated proteins organize in a rather diffuse functional network enriched in nuclear factors with general cellular functions. In contrast, in ESCs, SUMOylated proteins form a tightly interconnected network mainly composed of repressive chromatin complexes. We also characterized several SUMOylated pluripotency factors and show that SUMO modification of Dppa2 and Dppa4 hampers their ability to induce a totipotent-like state. Altogether, we propose that rewiring the repertoire of SUMO target networks is a major driver of cell fate transition during embryonic development.

Proteotoxic stress reprograms the chromatin landscape of SUMO modification.

Project description:The small ubiquitin-like modifier 2 (SUMO-2) is required for survival when cells are exposed to treatments that induce proteotoxic stress by causing the accumulation of misfolded proteins. Exposure of cells to heat shock or other forms of proteotoxic stress induces the conjugation of SUMO-2 to proteins in the nucleus. We investigated the chromatin landscape of SUMO-2 modifications in response to heat stress. Through chromatin immunoprecipitation assays coupled to high-throughput DNA sequencing and mRNA sequencing, we showed that in response to heat shock, SUMO-2 accumulated at nucleosome-depleted, active DNA regulatory elements, which represented binding sites for large protein complexes and were predominantly associated with active genes. However, SUMO did not act as a direct transcriptional repressor or activator of these genes during heat shock. Instead, integration of our results with published proteomics data on heat shock-induced SUMO-2 substrates supports a model in which the conjugation of SUMO-2 to proteins acts as an acute stress response that is required for the stability of protein complexes involved in gene expression and posttranscriptional modification of mRNA. We showed that the conjugation of SUMO-2 to chromatin-associated proteins is an integral component of the proteotoxic stress response, and propose that SUMO-2 fulfills its essential role in cell survival by contributing to the maintenance of protein complex homeostasis.

SUMO safeguards somatic and pluripotent cell identities by enforcing distinct chromatin states [SUMO-ChIP-seq]

Project description:Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were generated from Ubc9fl/- and Ubc9+/+ embryos (E13.5). MEFs were treated with tamoxifen for six days to cause CreERT2 activation, and induce Ubc9 floxed allele deletion. We determined the ChIP-seq profiles of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 using chromatin of wild-type MEFs Ubc9+/+ and of the corresponding Ubc9 KO MEFs which are entirely depleted for sumoylation. The analysis revealed the nearly complete absence of genome-wide binding of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 in Ubc9-/- MEFs, attesting for antibody specificities.

Dynamically reorganized chromatin is the key for the reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotent cells.

Project description:Nucleosome positioning and histone modification play a critical role in gene regulation, but their role during reprogramming has not been fully elucidated. Here, we determined the genome-wide nucleosome coverage and histone methylation occupancy in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and pre-iPSCs. We found that nucleosome occupancy increases in promoter regions and decreases in intergenic regions in pre-iPSCs, then recovers to an intermediate level in iPSCs. We also found that nucleosomes in pre-iPSCs are much more phased than those in MEFs and iPSCs. During reprogramming, nucleosome reorganization and histone methylation around transcription start sites (TSSs) are highly coordinated with distinctively transcriptional activities. Bivalent promoters gradually increase, while repressive promoters gradually decrease. High CpG (HCG) promoters of active genes are characterized by nucleosome depletion at TSSs, while low CpG (LCG) promoters exhibit the opposite characteristics. In addition, we show that vitamin C (VC) promotes reorganizations of canonical, H3K4me3- and H3K27me3-modified nucleosomes on specific genes during transition from pre-iPSCs to iPSCs. These data demonstrate that pre-iPSCs have a more open and phased chromatin architecture than that of MEFs and iPSCs. Finally, this study reveals the dynamics and critical roles of nucleosome positioning and chromatin organization in gene regulation during reprogramming.

SUMO safeguards somatic and pluripotent cell identities by enforcing distinct chromatin states

Project description:Purposes: (1) compare the SUMO chromatin landscape between mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and embryonic stem cells (ESc) (2) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances MEF to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSc) reprogramming (3) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances ESc to 2C-like cells conversion. Methods : (1) ChIP-seq in MEFs and ESc for SUMO isoforms and histone marks. (2) ChIP-seq for transcription factors and histone marks at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). ATAC-Seq at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). RNA-Seq in MEFs, iPSc, at day 4 and day 7 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). (3) RNA-Seq in ESc comparing wild-type (siCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (siUbc9). Results: (1) SUMO chromatin landscape is highly different between MEFs and ESc and associates to distinct chromatin marks. (2) Hyposumoylation enhances MEFs to iPSc reprogramming by favoring the extinction of the MEF transcriptional program and redistributing pluripotency factors from MEF enhancers toward ES enhancers. (3) Hyposumoylation enhances ES to 2C-like conversion by destabilizing heterochromatin thus resulting in an activation of the 2-cell transcriptional program. Conclusion: SUMO at chromatin is gate-keeper of cell-identity.

Synthetic transcription elongation factors license transcription across repressive chromatin.

Project description:The release of paused RNA polymerase II into productive elongation is highly regulated, especially at genes that affect human development and disease. To exert control over this rate-limiting step, we designed sequence-specific synthetic transcription elongation factors (Syn-TEFs). These molecules are composed of programmable DNA-binding ligands flexibly tethered to a small molecule that engages the transcription elongation machinery. By limiting activity to targeted loci, Syn-TEFs convert constituent modules from broad-spectrum inhibitors of transcription into gene-specific stimulators. Here we present Syn-TEF1, a molecule that actively enables transcription across repressive GAA repeats that silence frataxin expression in Friedreich's ataxia, a terminal neurodegenerative disease with no effective therapy. The modular design of Syn-TEF1 defines a general framework for developing a class of molecules that license transcription elongation at targeted genomic loci.

Chromatin modification by SUMO-1 stimulates the promoters of translation machinery genes.

Project description:SUMOylation of transcription factors and chromatin proteins is in many cases a negative mark that recruits factors that repress gene expression. In this study, we determined the occupancy of Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifier (SUMO)-1 on chromatin in HeLa cells by use of chromatin affinity purification coupled with next-generation sequencing. We found SUMO-1 localization on chromatin was dynamic throughout the cell cycle. Surprisingly, we observed that from G1 through late S phase, but not during mitosis, SUMO-1 marks the chromatin just upstream of the transcription start site on many of the most active housekeeping genes, including genes encoding translation factors and ribosomal subunit proteins. Moreover, we found that SUMO-1 distribution on promoters was correlated with H3K4me3, another general chromatin activation mark. Depletion of SUMO-1 resulted in downregulation of the genes that were marked by SUMO-1 at their promoters during interphase, supporting the concept that the marking of promoters by SUMO-1 is associated with transcriptional activation of genes involved in ribosome biosynthesis and in the protein translation process.
