The chromatin remodeler Lsh modulates genome-wide cytosine hydroxymethylation


ABSTRACT: TET proteins convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, an emerging dynamic epigenetic state of DNA that can influence transcription. While Tet proteins have been associated to epigenetic repression or activation complexes, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in Tet-mediated regulation of gene transcription remains limited. Here, we showed that Tet directly interact with lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh), a chromatin remodelling factor belonging to the ISWI family. This specific interaction seems to regulate Tet enzymatic activity since Lsh knock-out leads to a substantial reduction of 5-hydroxymethylation global level in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and in embryonic stem cells (ES). Whole genome sequencing of 5hmC in wild-type versus Lsh knock-out MEFs and ESCs showed that in absence of Lsh some regions of the genome gain while others loose 5hmC marks, with a weak correlation to gene expression changes . We further demonstrated that 5hmC modifications upon Lsh loss are not a direct consequence of 5mC decrease as DhMR (differentially hydroxymethylated regions) did not overlap with DMR (differentially methylated regions) underlying that these modifications occurred at different genomic loci. Altogether, our results suggest that DNA 5-hydroxymethylation and nucleosome folding are linked phenomena, highlighting novel means by which Tet proteins may influence gene regulation.
