Project description:G9a (EHMT2) and the G9a-like protein GLP (EHMT1) form a stable G9a/GLP heterodimer in embryonic stem cells and function cooperatively to establish and maintain the abundant repressive H3K9me2 modification, in addition to modifying several non-histone proteins. The G9a-dependent H3K9me2 is implicated in lineage-specific gene silencing and covers large chromosomal domains. While the mechanism of H3K9me2maintenance by G9a/GLP is known, how new patterns of this modification are established is not well understood. With this in mind, we used FLAG affinity purification of G9a under two different stringency conditions (150 and 300 mM NaCl) coupled with mass spectrometry to identify proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP, which could serve as potential recruiters of the complex to unmodified chromatin.

Project description:GLP (EHMT1) functions as an H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 methyltransferase through its reportedly obligatory dimerization with G9A (EHMT2). Here, we investigated the role of GLP in oocyte and embryo development in comparison to G9A using oocyte-specific conditional knockout mouse models (G9a cKO, Glp cKO, G9a-Glp cDKO). Loss of GLP in oogenesis severely impairs oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo development, resulting in lethality before embryonic day E12.5. In contrast, loss of G9A has a milder effect with a proportion of embryos producing viable offspring. The Glp cKO also showed loss of G9A protein and, hence, was phenotypically very similar to the G9a-Glp cDKO. H3K9me2 was equally depleted in all cKO genotypes, whereas H3K9me1 was decreased only in Glp cKO and G9a-Glp cDKO oocytes. Furthermore, the transcriptome, DNA methylome and proteome were markedly more affected in G9a-Glp cDKO than G9a cKO oocytes, demonstrating that in the absence of GLP there are widespread epigenetic and gene expression changes in the oocyte independent of H3K9me2. Gene dysregulation with coupled changes in DNA methylation suggest localised loss of chromatin repression, resulting in upregulated protein expression. Together, our findings demonstrate that GLP can function independently of G9A in the oocyte and is required for oocyte developmental competence.

Project description:G9a/GLP and Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) are two major epigenetic silencing machineries, which in particular methylate histone H3 on lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27), respectively. Although evidence of a crosstalk between H3K9 and H3K27 methylations has started to emerge, their actual interplay remains elusive. Here, we show that PRC2 and G9a/GLP interact physically and functionally. Moreover, combining different genome-wide approaches, we demonstrate that Ezh2 and G9a/GLP share an important number of common genomic targets, encoding developmental and neuronal regulators. Furthermore, we show that G9a enzymatic activity modulates PRC2 genomic recruitment to a subset of its target genes. Taken together, our findings demonstrate an unanticipated interplay between two main histone lysine methylation mechanisms, which cooperate to maintain silencing of a subset of developmental genes. Microarray has been perform in triplicate on total extract RNA from mES cell (TT2 : Wildtype and KOs G9a-/-, GLP-/-, G9a-/- and GLP-/-)

Project description:ZNF462 haploinsufficiency is linked to Weiss-Kruszka Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by neurodevelopmental defects including Autism. Though conserved in vertebrates and essential for embryonic development the molecular functions of ZNF462 remain unclear. We identified its murine homolog ZFP462 in a screen for mediators of epigenetic gene silencing. Here, we show that ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by targeting the H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase complex G9A/GLP to silence mesoendodermal genes. ZFP462 binds to transposable elements (TEs) that are potential enhancers harboring ESC-specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Recruiting G9A/GLP, ZFP462 seeds heterochromatin, restricting TF binding. Loss of ZFP462 in ESCs results in increased chromatin accessibility at target sites and ectopic expression of mesoendodermal genes. Taken together, ZFP462 confers lineage- and locus-specificity to the broadly expressed epigenetic regulator G9A/GLP. Our results suggest that aberrant activation of lineage non-specific genes in the neuronal lineage underlies ZNF462-associated neurodevelopmental pathology.

Project description:Elucidating mechanisms of T cell development can guide in vitro T cell differentiation from Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and inform off-the-shelf T cell-based immunotherapies. Using a stroma-free human iPSC-T cell differentiation platform, we screened for epigenetic modulators that govern T cell specification and identified the H3K9-directed histone methyltransferases G9a/GLP as repressors of T cell fate. We show that G9a/GLP controls the cell fate decision between myeloid and lymphoid lineages in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Inhibition of G9a/GLP promotes the production of lymphoid cells during zebrafish embryonic hematopoiesis, demonstrating the evolutionary conservation of G9a/GLP function. Importantly, chemical-induced epigenetic reprogramming via G9a/GLP inhibition facilitates the generation of robust iPSC-T cells that bear transcriptional similarity to peripheral blood αβ T cells. When engineered to express Chimeric Antigen Receptors, the epigenetically engineered iPSC-T cells exhibit enhanced antitumor activity both in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model.

Taken together, our findings demonstrate an unanticipated interplay between two main histone lysine methylation mechanisms, which cooperate to maintain silencing of a subset of developmental genes. ChIP-seq has been performed for G9a and Ezh2 in wild type TT2 mES cells or in mES cells lacking both G9a and GLP (G9a-/-GLP-/-). As a control, input DNA was saved before immunoprecipitation. Note that the two inputs (Input_TT2_0 and Input_TT2_1) have been combined and used as control for Ezh2 and G9a ChIP-seq.

Using a stroma-free human iPSC-T cell differentiation platform, we screened for epigenetic modulators that influence T cell specification and identified the H3K9-directed histone methyltransferases G9a/GLP as repressors of T cell fate. We show that G9a/GLP inhibition during specific time windows of differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) skews cell fates towards lymphoid lineages. Inhibition of G9a/GLP promotes the production of lymphoid cells during zebrafish embryonic hematopoiesis, demonstrating the evolutionary conservation of G9a/GLP function. Importantly, G9a/GLP inhibition facilitates the generation of robust iPSC-T cells that bear transcriptional similarity to peripheral blood αβ T cells. When engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors, the epigenetically engineered iPSC-T cells exhibit enhanced effector functions in vitro and durable antitumor activity in a xenograft mouse model.
