ASH-1-catalyzed H3K36 methylation drives gene repression and marks H3K27me2/3-competent chromatin

ABSTRACT: ASH-1 orthologs are H3K36-specific methyltransferases that are conserved from fungi to humans but are poorly understood, in part because they are typically essential for viability. Here we examine the H3K36 methylation pathway of Neurospora crassa, which we find has just two H3K36 methyltransferases, ASH-1 and RNA polymerase II-associated SET-2. Our investigation of the interplay between SET-2 and ASH-1 uncovered a regulatory mechanism connecting ASH-1-catalyzed H3K36 methylation to repression of poorly transcribed genes. Our findings provide new insight into ASH-1 function, H3K27me2/3 establishment, and repression at facultative heterochromatin.

Interplay between Nsd1 and PRC2 demarcates regions of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3

Project description:The core Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of Ezh1/2, Suz12, Eed and is responsible for mediating both H3K27me2 and H3K27me3. However, the mechanisms by which PRC2 demarcates these two repressive modifications in the genome are unknown. In a functional screen, we identified the H3K36 dimethyltransferase Nsd1 as a modulator of PRC2-mediated di- and trimethylation of H3K27. ChIP-Seq analysis following the depletion of Nsd1 revealed a global reduction in H3K36me2 and an increase in H3K27me3 at sites previously marked by H3K27me2. We show that the H3K36me2 at H3K27me2 marks co-occupy regions and provide evidence that the presence of H3K36me2 functions to restrict the spatial distribution of Polycomb mediated H3K27me3 domains.

Integrative analysis of green ash phloem transcripts and proteins during an emerald ash borer infestation

Project description:We performed RNA-seq and proteomics on naturally infested green ash (F. pennsylvanica) trees at low, medium and high levels of increasing emerald ash borer (A. planipennis) infestation. Our integrative analysis of the RNA-Seq and proteomics data identified 14 proteins and 4 transcripts that contribute most to the difference between highly infested and low infested trees.

ASH1-catalyzed H3K36 methylation drives gene repression and marks H3K27me2/3-competent chromatin.

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me), a widely-distributed chromatin mark, largely results from association of the lysine methyltransferase (KMT) SET-2 with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), but most eukaryotes also have additional H3K36me KMTs that act independently of RNAPII. These include the orthologs of ASH1, which are conserved in animals, plants, and fungi but whose function and control are poorly understood. We found that Neurospora crassa has just two H3K36 KMTs, ASH1 and SET-2, and were able to explore the function and distribution of each enzyme independently. While H3K36me deposited by SET-2 marks active genes, inactive genes are modified by ASH1 and its activity is critical for their repression. ASH1-marked chromatin can be further modified by methylation of H3K27, and ASH1 catalytic activity modulates the accumulation of H3K27me2/3 both positively and negatively. These findings provide new insight into ASH1 function, H3K27me2/3 establishment, and repression in facultative heterochromatin.

Distinct Roles of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 States Unveiled By Fate Specification of Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) induces methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27) through its catalytic subunit Ezh2. PRC2-mediated di- and tri-methylation (H3K27me2/me3) have been interchangeably associated with gene repression. However, it remains unclear whether these two degrees of H3K27 methylation have indeed different functions. In this study, we have generated isogenic mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) with a modified H3K27me2/H3K27me3 ratio. Our findings document a developmental dynamic control in the genomic distribution of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 at regulatory regions in ESC. They also reveal that modifying the H3K27me2/H327me3 ratio is sufficient for the acquisition and repression of defined cell lineage transcriptional programs and phenotypes, along with influencing induction of the ESC ground state.

The landscape of H3K27me2 in mice zygotes

Project description:H3K27 di-methylation and H3K27 trimethylation are marks of facultative heterochromatin which maintains transcriptional repression established during early development in many eukaryotes. However, the mechanism underlying establishment and regulation of epigenetic asymmetry in the zygote remains obscure. Here we report the distribution pattern of H3K27me2 in Ezh2m+/p+ and Ezh2m-/p+ mice zygotes using the approach of ULI-NChIP.
