Histone H3-G34V and H3-G34R mutant fission yeast exhibit distinct chromatin changes and different DNA damage sensitivities.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent somatic mutations of H3F3A in aggressive pediatric high-grade gliomas generate K27M or G34R mutant histone H3.3. H3.3-G34R mutants are common in tumors additionally mutant for p53 and ATRX, an H3.3-specific chromatin remodeler. To gain insight into the role of H3-G34R, we generated fission yeast that express only the mutant histone H3. H3-G34R specifically reduces H3K36 tri-methylation and H3K36 acetylation, but minimally affects transcriptional control. H3-G34R mutants exhibit genomic instability and increased replicative stress including slowed replication fork restart although DNA replication checkpoints are functional. H3-G34R mutants are defective for DNA damage repair by homologous recombination (HR), and on damage have altered HR protein dynamics suggestive that H3-G34R slows resolution of HR-mediated repair. In summary our analysis of H3-G34R mutant fission yeast provides mechanistic insight into how G34R mutation may promote genomic instability in glioma.

Histone H3G34R mutation causes replicative stress, defective homologous recombination and genomic instability in Fission Yeast

Surprising Phenotypic Diversity of Cancer-associated mutations at Gly 34 in the Histone H3 tail

Project description:Deep sequencing of cancer genomes has identified frequent mutation of core histones, termed oncohistones, but the role of some mutants is poorly understood. Here, using fission yeast as a model, we determine the consequences of mutation of histone H3.3 at Gly 34, a site frequently mutated in pediatric cortical high-grade glioma (G34R/V), and in virtually all giant cell tumors of bone (G34W). H3-G34 mutations cause a surprising diversity of outcomes, differentially affecting modification of the nearby H3K36 residue, subtelomeric silencing, genomic stability, sensitivity to irradiation, alkylating agents, hydroxyurea and influencing DNA repair. Since fifteen genes encode H3 isoforms, and only one allele is targeted in cancer, G34R/V/W H3 likely represents a small portion of total cellular H3. Whilst the presence of wild type H3 rescues most G34 mutant phenotypes, hydroxyurea sensitivity, subtelomeric silencing and homologous recombination defects dominate in cells expressing G34R and wild type H3. Together, these studies demonstrate the complexity associated with different substitutions at even a single residue in histone H3 and highlight the utility of genetically tractable systems for their analysis.

Aberrant DNA repair reveals a vulnerability in histone H3.3-mutant brain tumors

Project description:Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) are devastating and incurable brain tumors with recurrent mutations in histone H3.3. These mutations promote oncogenesis by dysregulating gene expression through alterations of histone modifications. We identify aberrant DNA repair as an independent mechanism, which fosters genome instability in H3.3 mutant pHGG, and opens new therapeutic options. The two most frequent H3.3 mutations in pHGG, K27M and G34R, drive aberrant repair of replication-associated damage by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Aberrant NHEJ is mediated by the DNA repair enzyme Polynucleotide Kinase 3'-Phosphatase (PNKP), which shows increased association with mutant H3.3 at damaged replication forks. PNKP sustains the proliferation of cells bearing H3.3 mutations, thus conferring a molecular vulnerability, specific to mutant cells, with potential for therapeutic targeting.

Distinct roles for canonical and variant histone H3 lysine 36 in polycomb silencing

Project description:Polycomb complexes regulate cell-type specific gene expression programs through heritable silencing of target genes. Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is essential for this process. Perturbation of H3K36 is thought to interfere with H3K27me3. We show that mutants of Drosophila replication-dependent (H3.2K36R) or -independent (H3.3K36R) histone H3 genes generally maintain Polycomb silencing and reach later stages of development. In contrast, combined (H3.3K36RH3.2K36R) mutants display widespread Hox gene misexpression and fail to develop past the first larval instar. Chromatin profiling showed that the H3.2K36R mutation disrupts H3K27me3 levels broadly and significantly throughout silenced domains, whereas these regions are mostly unaffected in H3.3K36R animals. Analysis of H3.3 distributions showed that this histone is enriched at presumptive PREs (Polycomb Response Elements) located outside of silenced domains but relatively depleted from those inside. We conclude that H3.2 and H3.3 K36 residues collaborate to repress Hox genes via distinct genomic subcompartments and mechanisms.

RNA-seq in WT and H3.3 G34R mouse ES cells

Project description:Sequencing of paediatric gliomas has identified two common substitution mutations (K27M and G34R) in genes encoding histone H3.3. We introduced a single-copy H3.3 G34R targeted mutation in mouse ES cells and observed gains in H3K36me3 and H3K9me3 across the genome. Altered chromatin profiles correlated with enrichment of KDM4 A/B/C, a histone lysine (K9/K36) demethylase. RNA-seq of H3.3 G34R mutant showed disrupted gene expression patterns which also correlated with KDM4 enrichment. Expression of a single copy of H3.3 G34R at endogenous levels was sufficient to genocopy KDM4 triple-KO cells as determined by ChIP-seq and RNA-seq.

Quantitative middle-down MS analysis of histone H3 proteoforms throughout lifespan in mice

Project description:Replication-independent deposition of histone variant H3.3 into chromatin is essential for many biological processes, including development, oogenesis and nuclear reprogramming. Unlike replication-dependent H3.1/2 isoforms, H3.3 is expressed throughout the cell cycle and becomes enriched in postmitotic cells with age. However, lifelong dynamics of H3 variant replacement and the impact of this process on chromatin organization remain largely undefined. To address this, we investigated genome-wide changes in histone H3 variants composition and H3 modification abundances throughout the lifespan in mice using quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) – based middle-down proteomics strategy. Using middle-down MS we demonstrate that H3.3 accumulates in the chromatin of various somatic mouse tissues throughout life, resulting in near complete replacement of H3.1/2 isoforms by the late adulthood. Accumulation of H3.3 is associated with profound changes in the global level of H3 methylation. H3.3-containing chromatin exhibits distinct stable levels of H3R17me2 and H3K36me2, different from those on H3.1/H3.2-containing chromatin, indicating a direct link between H3 variant exchange and histone methylation dynamics with age. In summary, our study provides the first time comprehensive characterization of dynamic changes in the H3 modification landscape during mouse lifespan and links these changes to the age-dependent accumulation of histone variant H3.3.

Regional identity of human neural stem cells determines oncogenic responses to histone H3.3 mutants [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Point mutations within the histone H3.3 are frequent in aggressive childhood brain tumours known as paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs). Intriguingly, different mutations arise in discrete anatomical regions: H3.3-G34R within the forebrain and H3.3-K27M preferentially within the hindbrain. The reasons for this contrasting aetiology are unknown. By engineering human foetal neural stem cell cultures from distinct regions, we demonstrate here that cell-intrinsic regional identity provides differential responsiveness to each mutant that mirrors the origins of pHGGs. Focusing on H3.3-G34R, we find that the oncohistone supports proliferation of forebrain cells, while inducing a cytostatic response in the hindbrain. Mechanistically, H3.3-G34R does not impose widespread transcriptional or epigenetic changes, but impairs recruitment of ZMYND11, a transcriptional repressor of highly expressed genes. We therefore propose that H3.3-G34R promotes tumorigenesis by stabilising the expression of key progenitor genes and, thus, locking initiating forebrain cells into their preexisting immature state.
