A role for Pak2 kinase in cellular senescence and organismal aging

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell growth arrest state linked to loss of tissue function and aging in mammals. The cellular transition from proliferation to senescence is marked by increased expression of the cell-cycle inhibitor p16INK4A and formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF). It is known that SAHF formation depends primarily on HIRA-mediated nucleosome assembly of H3.3, and that the serine/threonine protein kinase Pak2 regulates HIRA-mediated nucleosome assembly of histone H3.3. Here, we tested the role of Pak2 in the regulation of cellular senescence. Depletion of Pak2 delays premature cellular senescence in both oncogene-induced senescence in human fibroblasts IMR90 cells and in oxidative stress induced senescence of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Furthermore, overexpression of Pak2 promotes senescence of IMR90 cells. Importantly, depletion of Pak2 in mice delays the onset of some of the aging-associated phenotypes and extend life span of a progeroid mouse model. Lastly, we showed that Pak2 is required for expression of a group of genes involved in cellular senescence and regulates the deposition of newly synthesized H3.3 onto chromatin in senescent cells. Together, our results demonstrate that Pak2 is an important regulator of cellular senescence and organismal aging, in part through the regulation of gene expression and H3.3 nucleosome assembly.

Histone chaperone HIRA orchestrates H4K16ac-decorated dynamic chromatin in senescent cells and is required for suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest that suppresses tumorigenesis. Histone chaperone HIRA deposits nucleosome-destabilizing histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. Histone H3.3 and a subset of other typically M-bM-^@M-^\replication-dependentM-bM-^@M-^] core histones were expressed in non-proliferating senescent cells, the latter linked to alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation. Senescent cells incorporated newly-synthesized histones into chromatin, partially dependent on HIRA. HIRA and newly-deposited histone H3.3 co-localized at promoters of expressed genes, and their distribution shifted between proliferating and senescent cells, paralleling changes in gene expression. In senescent cells, gene promoters showed exceptional enrichment of a histone acetylation linked to open and dynamic chromatin, H4K16ac. Abundance of H4K16ac depended on HIRA. In the mouse, inactivation of HIRA downregulated H4K16ac and dramatically enhanced oncogene-induced hyperplasia. To conclude, HIRA controls a previously undefined dynamic non-canonical H4K16ac-decorated chromatin landscape in senescence, and also plays an unanticipated role in suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia.

Histone chaperone HIRA deposits nucleosome-destabilizing histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. Histone H3.3 and a subset of other typically “replication-dependent” core histones were expressed in non-proliferating senescent cells, the latter linked to alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation.

Localization of HIRA in PML bodies is tightly linked SASP expression

Project description:Cellular senescence, a stable proliferation arrest caused by a range of cellular stresses, is a bona fide cause of cell and tissue aging. As well as proliferation arrest, cell senescence is associated with a potent pro-inflammatory phenotype, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Given that SASP is regulated at various levels, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its regulation is crucial. This understanding can pave the way for potential therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating SASP, which could promote healthy aging and alleviate the burden of senescence-associated diseases and degeneration. We show here that both the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein and HIRA histone chaperone are required for SASP expression in senescent cells. PML protein is the key organizer of PML nuclear bodies, nuclear features up to 1mM in diameter, containing many proteins and previously implicated in diverse cellular processes, including control of cell senescence and cellular intrinsic anti-viral immunity. HIRA is a histone chaperone best known for its ability to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into nuclear chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner, including in non-proliferating senescent cells. HIRA localizes to PML nuclear bodies in senescent cells. We show that both HIRA and PML are required for activation of NF-kB and SASP. We found that HIRA regulates cytoplasmic NF-kB signaling in senescent cells through CCF-cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway and interaction with autophagy cargo receptor Sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1).

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state for H3.3 tagged cells

Project description:The HIRA chaperone complex, comprised of HIRA, UBN1 and CABIN1, collaborates with histone-binding protein ASF1a to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. To better understand its function and mechanism, we integrated HIRA, UBN1, ASF1a and histone H3.3 ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses. Most HIRA-binding sites co-localize with UBN1, ASF1a and H3.3 at active promoters and active and weak/poised enhancers. At promoters, binding of HIRA/UBN1/ASF1a correlates with the level of gene expression. HIRA is required for deposition of histone H3.3 at its binding sites. There are marked differences in nucleosome and co-regulator composition at different classes of HIRA-bound regulatory site. Underscoring this, we report novel physical interactions between the HIRA complex and transcription factors, a chromatin insulator and an ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling complex. Our results map the distribution of the HIRA chaperone across the chromatin landscape and point to different interacting partners at functionally distinct regulatory sites.

Histone chaperone ASF1 mediates H3.3-H4 deposition in Arabidopsis

Project description:Histone chaperones and chromatin remodelers control nucleosome dynamics, essential for transcription, replication, and DNA repair. The histone chaperone Anti-Silencing Factor 1 (ASF1) plays a central role in facilitating CAF-1-mediated replication-dependent H3.1 deposition and HIRA-mediated replication-independent H3.3 deposition in yeast and metazoans. Whether ASF1 function is evolutionarily conserved in plants is unknown. Here, we show that Arabidopsis ASF1 proteins display an exclusive preference for the H3.3-depositing HIRA complex. Simultaneous mutation of both Arabidopsis ASF1 genes caused a decrease in chromatin density and ectopic H3.1 occupancy at loci typically enriched with H3.3. Genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data indicate that ASF1 proteins strongly prefer the HIRA complex over CAF-1. asf1 mutants also displayed an increase in spurious Pol II transcriptional initiation, and showed defects in the maintenance of gene body CG DNA methylation and in the distribution of histone modifications. Furthermore, ectopic targeting of ASF1 caused excessive histone deposition, less accessible chromatin, and gene silencing. These findings reveal the importance of ASF1-mediated H3.3-H4 deposition via the HIRA pathway for proper epigenetic regulation of the genome.

Our results map the distribution of the HIRA chaperone across the chromatin landscape and point to different interacting partners at functionally distinct regulatory sites. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after knockdown of HIRA HeLa cells were nucleofacted with Dharmacon control siRNA and siRNA to HIRA and RNA was isolated 72 hours after transfection in four biological replicates

H3.3 nucleosome assembly mutants display a late-onset maternal effect

Project description:Maternally inherited RNA and protein control much of embryonic development. The impact of such maternal information beyond embryonic development is largely unclear. Here we report that maternal contribution of histone H3.3 assembly complexes can prevent the expression of late-onset anatomical, physiologic, and behavioral abnormalities of C. elegans. We show that mutants lacking hira-1, an evolutionarily conserved H3.3-deposition factor, have severe pleiotropic defects that manifest predominantly at adulthood. These late-onset defects can be maternally rescued, and maternally derived HIRA-1 protein can be detected in hira-1(-/-) progeny. A screen for mutants that mimic the hira-1 mutant phenotype identified a HIRA complex component (PQN-80/UBN1) and a second H3.3 chaperone (XNP-1/ATRX). pqn-80 and xnp-1 abnormalities are also maternally rescued. Furthermore, mutants lacking histone H3.3 have late-onset defects similar to those of hira-1, pqn-80, and xnp-1 mutants. These data demonstrate that H3.3 assembly complexes provide non-DNA-based heritable information that can markedly influence adult phenotype. We speculate that similar maternal effects might explain the missing heritability of 2 late-onset human diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and type 2 diabetes.
