Circadian CLOCK histone acetyl transferase localizes at ND10 nuclear bodies and enables herpes simplex virus gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Expression of herpes simplex virus genes at the initiation of replication involves two steps that take place at ND10 nuclear bodies. These are suppression of cellular repressors that attempt to silence viral DNA and remodeling of the viral chromatin to make it accessible for transcription. In earlier studies we reported on the mechanism by which viral proteins ICP0 and U(S)3 protein kinase modify and disrupt the HDAC1/CoREST/REST/LSD1 repressor complex. The remodeling step requires in addition acetylation of histones bound to DNA. In an attempt to identify the enzyme, we took note of the observation that ICP0 physically and functionally interacts with Bmal1, a partner of the CLOCK histone acetyl transferase, and key members of the bHLH-PAS family of transcriptional factors. The Bmal11 and CLOCK heterodimer is best known as a regulator of the circadian oscillation in the mammalian CLOCK system. In this article we report the following: (i) in infected cells both Bmal1 and CLOCK localize at ND10 bodies; (ii) wild-type virus stabilizes the CLOCK protein; (iii) overexpression of CLOCK partially compensates for the absence of ICP0 and enables higher yields in cells infected with a ΔICP0 mutant and this activity is not expressed by CLOCK mutants lacking histone acetyl transferase activity; and (iv) depletion of CLOCK in cells infected with wild-type virus results in significant decrease in the expression of all viral proteins tested. We conclude that ICP0 interacts with Bmal1 and by extension with CLOCK histone acetyl transferase to remodel viral chromatin.

DYRK1A interacts with histone acetyl transferase p300 and CBP and localizes to enhancers.

Project description:DYRK1A, dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A, which is linked to mental retardation and microcephaly, is a member of the CMGC group of kinases. It has both cytoplasmic and nuclear functions, however, molecular mechanisms of how DYRK1A regulates gene expression is not well understood. Here, we identify two histone acetyltransferases, p300 and CBP, as interaction partners of DYRK1A through a proteomics study. We show that overexpression of DYKR1A causes hyperphosphorylation of p300 and CBP. Using genome-wide location (ChIP-sequencing) analysis of DYRK1A, we show that most of the DYRK1A peaks co-localize with p300 and CBP, at enhancers or near the transcription start sites (TSS). Modulation of DYRK1A, by shRNA mediated reduction or transfection mediated overexpression, leads to alteration of expression of downstream located genes. We show that the knockdown of DYRK1A results in a significant loss of H3K27acetylation at these enhancers, suggesting that DYRK1A modulates the activity of p300/CBP at these enhancers. We propose that DYRK1A functions in enhancer regulation by interacting with p300/CBP and modulating their activity. Overall, DYRK1A function in the regulation of enhancer activity provides a new mechanistic understanding of DYRK1A mediated regulation of gene expression, which may help in better understanding of the roles of DYRK1A in human pathologies.

Physical association between the histone acetyl transferase CBP and a histone methyl transferase.

Project description:CBP (CREB-binding protein) is involved in transcriptional activation by a great variety of sequence-specific transcription factors. CBP has been shown to activate transcription through its histone acetyl transferase activity. Acetylation is a common post-translational modification of nucleosomal histone N-terminal tails, which generally correlates with transcriptional activation. Histone N-terminal tails are also modified by methylation but its functional consequences are largely unknown. Here we found that immunoprecipitation of CBP, or of the highly related p300, led to the co-immunoprecipitation of a robust histone methyl transferase (HMT) activity, indicating that CBP physically interacts with an HMT in living cells. The CBP-associated HMT is specific for lysines 4 and 9 of histone H3, which are known to be methylated in living cells. These results suggest that histone methylation could be involved in transcriptional activation. Furthermore, they raise the question of the link between histone methylation and acetylation.

Myc localizes to histone locus bodies during replication in Drosophila.

Project description:Myc is an important protein at the center of multiple pathways required for growth and proliferation in animals. The absence of Myc is lethal in flies and mice, and its over-production is a potent inducer of over-proliferation and cancer. Myc protein is localized to the nucleus where it executes its many functions, however the specific sub-nuclear localization of Myc has rarely been reported. The work we describe here began with an observation of unexpected, punctate spots of Myc protein in certain regions of Drosophila embryos. We investigated the identity of these puncta and demonstrate that Myc is co-localized with coilin, a marker for sub-nuclear organelles known as Cajal Bodies (CBs), in embryos, larvae and ovaries. Using antibodies specific for U7 snRNP component Lsm11, we show that the majority of Myc and coilin co-localization occurs in Histone Locus Bodies (HLBs), the sites of histone mRNA transcription and processing. Furthermore, Myc localizes to HLBs only during replication in mitotic and endocycling cells, suggesting that its role there relates to replication-dependent canonical histone gene transcription. These results provide evidence that sub-nuclear localization of Myc is cell-cycle dependent and potentially important for histone mRNA production and processing.

Histone lysine demethylase JARID1a activates CLOCK-BMAL1 and influences the circadian clock.

Project description:In animals, circadian oscillators are based on a transcription-translation circuit that revolves around the transcription factors CLOCK and BMAL1. We found that the JumonjiC (JmjC) and ARID domain-containing histone lysine demethylase 1a (JARID1a) formed a complex with CLOCK-BMAL1, which was recruited to the Per2 promoter. JARID1a increased histone acetylation by inhibiting histone deacetylase 1 function and enhanced transcription by CLOCK-BMAL1 in a demethylase-independent manner. Depletion of JARID1a in mammalian cells reduced Per promoter histone acetylation, dampened expression of canonical circadian genes, and shortened the period of circadian rhythms. Drosophila lines with reduced expression of the Jarid1a homolog, lid, had lowered Per expression and similarly altered circadian rhythms. JARID1a thus has a nonredundant role in circadian oscillator function.

Nipped-A Regulates the Drosophila Circadian Clock via Histone Deubiquitination

Project description:Psychiatric diseases are often accompanied by circadian disruptions, but the molecular underpinnings remain largely unclear. To address this, we screened genes that have been previously reported to be associated with psychiatric diseases and found that TRRAP, a gene associated with schizophrenia, is involved in circadian rhythm regulation. Knocking down Nipped-A, the Drosophila homolog of human TRRAP, leads to lengthened period of locomotor rhythms in flies. Molecular analysis demonstrates that NIPPED-A sets the pace of the clock by increasing the mRNA and protein levels of core clock genes timeless (tim) and Par domain protein 1? (Pdp1?). Furthermore, we found that NIPPED-A promotes the transcription of tim and Pdp1? possibly by facilitating deubiquitination of histone H2B via the deubiquitination module of the transcription co-activator Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase complex. Taken together, these findings reveal a novel role for NIPPED-A in epigenetic regulation of the clock.

Herpes simplex host shutoff attenuates antiviral state

Project description:Herpes simplex virus mutants lacking the vhs gene are severely attenuated in animal models of pathogenesis and exhibit reduced growth in primary cell culture. As a result of these properties vhs-deleted virus have been proposed as live-attenuated viruses. Despite these findings and their implications for vacccines, the mechanisms by which vhs promotes infection in cell culture and in vivo are not understood. In this study we demonstrate that vhs-deficent viruses replicate to reduced levels in interferon(IFN)- primed cells. Furthermore, vhs-defective viruses induce increased levels of IFN? and IFN?-stimulated genes, and increased levels of eIF2? phosphorylation in infected cells. In addition, we demonstrate a generalized over-expression of viral RNAs following infection with a vhs-deficient virus. This suggests increased expression of IFN pathway inducing double stranded RNA, a potent pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). Together these data show that vhs likely functions to reduce innate immune responses and thereby acts as critical determinant of viral pathogenesis. Keywords: time course, genetic modification Time course (1,3,6,9 & 12h) of HSV infected mouse embryo fibroblasts. Wild type (KOS) virus is co-hybridized with vhs null virus (NHB). Each time-point is hybridized in quadruplicate.

Cell autonomous regulation of herpes and influenza virus infection by the circadian clock.

Project description:Viruses are intracellular pathogens that hijack host cell machinery and resources to replicate. Rather than being constant, host physiology is rhythmic, undergoing circadian (?24 h) oscillations in many virus-relevant pathways, but whether daily rhythms impact on viral replication is unknown. We find that the time of day of host infection regulates virus progression in live mice and individual cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that herpes and influenza A virus infections are enhanced when host circadian rhythms are abolished by disrupting the key clock gene transcription factor Bmal1. Intracellular trafficking, biosynthetic processes, protein synthesis, and chromatin assembly all contribute to circadian regulation of virus infection. Moreover, herpesviruses differentially target components of the molecular circadian clockwork. Our work demonstrates that viruses exploit the clockwork for their own gain and that the clock represents a novel target for modulating viral replication that extends beyond any single family of these ubiquitous pathogens.

The ATAC acetyl transferase complex controls mitotic progression by targeting non-histone substrates.

Project description:All DNA-related processes rely on the degree of chromatin compaction. The highest level of chromatin condensation accompanies transition to mitosis, central for cell cycle progression. Covalent modifications of histones, mainly deacetylation, have been implicated in this transition, which also involves transcriptional repression. Here, we show that the Gcn5-containing histone acetyl transferase complex, Ada Two A containing (ATAC), controls mitotic progression through the regulation of the activity of non-histone targets. RNAi for the ATAC subunits Ada2a/Ada3 results in delayed M/G1 transition and pronounced cell division defects such as centrosome multiplication, defective spindle and midbody formation, generation of binucleated cells and hyperacetylation of histone H4K16 and alpha-tubulin. We show that ATAC localizes to the mitotic spindle and controls cell cycle progression through direct acetylation of Cyclin A/Cdk2. Our data describes a new pathway in which the ATAC complex controls Cyclin A/Cdk2 mitotic function: ATAC/Gcn5-mediated acetylation targets Cyclin A for degradation, which in turn regulates the SIRT2 deacetylase activity. Thus, we have uncovered an essential function for ATAC in regulating Cyclin A activity and consequent mitotic progression.

Histone acetyl transferase GCN5 promotes human hepatocellular carcinoma progression by enhancing AIB1 expression.

Project description:BackgroundGeneral control non-depressible 5 (GCN5) is a crucial catalytic component of a transcriptional regulatory complex that plays important roles in cellular functions from cell cycle regulation to DNA damage repair. Although GCN5 has recently been implicated in certain oncogenic roles, its role in liver cancer progression remains vague.ResultsIn this study, we report that GCN5 was overexpressed in 17 (54.8 %) of 31 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens. Down-regulation of GCN5 inhibited HCC cell proliferation and xenograft tumor formation. GCN5 knockdown decreased the protein levels of the proliferation marker proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1), but increased the protein levels of cell cycle inhibitor p21(Cip1/Waf1) in HepG2 cells. GCN5 regulated AIB1 expression, at least in part, by cooperating with E2F1 to enhance AIB1 transcription. Consistently, GCN5 expression was positively correlated with AIB1 expression in human HCC specimens in two GEO profile datasets.ConclusionSince AIB1 plays a promoting role in HCC progression, our results propose that GCN5 promotes HCC progression at least partially by regulating AIB1 expression. This study implicates that GCN5 might be a potential molecular target for HCC diagnosis and treatment.
