KDM2 proteins constrain transcription from CpG island gene promoters independently of their histone demethylase activity [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: CpG islands (CGI) are associated with the majority of mammalian gene promoters and function to recruit chromatin modifying enzymes. It has therefore been proposed that CGIs regulate gene expression through chromatin-based mechanisms, however in most cases this has not been directly tested. Here, we reveal that the histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) demethylase activity of the CGI-binding KDM2 proteins contributes only modestly to the H3K36me2-depleted state at CGI-associated gene promoters and is dispensable for normal gene expression. Instead, we discover that KDM2 proteins play a widespread and demethylase-independent role in constraining gene expression from CGI-associated gene promoters. We further show that KDM2 proteins shape RNA Polymerase II occupancy but not chromatin accessibility at CGI-associated promoters. Together this reveals a demethylase-independent role for KDM2 proteins in transcriptional repression and uncovers a new function for CGIs in constraining gene expression.

The SAM domain-containing protein 1 (SAMD1) acts as a repressive chromatin regulator at unmethylated CpG islands

Project description:CpG-islands (CGIs) are key regulatory DNA elements at most promoters, but how they influence the chromatin status and transcription remains elusive. Here we identify and characterize SAMD1 (SAM domain-containing protein 1) as an unmethylated CGI-binding protein. SAMD1 possesses an atypical winged-helix domain that directly recognizes unmethylated CpG-containing DNA via simultaneous interactions with both the major and the minor groove. The SAM domain interacts with L3MBTL3, but it can also homopolymerize into a closed pentameric ring. At a genome-wide level, SAMD1 localizes to H3K4me3-decorated CGIs, where it acts as a repressor. SAMD1 tethers L3MBTL3 to chromatin and interacts with the KDM1A histone demethylase complex to modulate H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 levels at CGIs, thereby providing a mechanism for SAMD1-mediated transcriptional repression. Absence of SAMD1 impairs ES cell differentiation processes, leading to mis-regulation of key biological pathways. Together, our work establishes SAMD1 as a novel chromatin regulator acting at unmethylated CGIs.

FBXL19 transcriptionally primes promoters of developmental genes via CDK8-Mediator recruitment [RNA-seq]

Project description:Regulatory elements called CpG islands (CGIs) are associated with the majority of mammalian gene promoters and have been proposed to play an important role in gene expression. The regulatory capacity of CGIs is thought to rely upon a family of proteins that recognise CGIs through their ZF-CxxC DNA binding domains to recruit chromatin-modifying activities to gene promoters. Through studying FBXL19, a poorly characterized ZF-CxxC domain-containing protein, we have discovered that it specifically interacts with the CDK8-Mediator complex in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Intriguingly, FBXl19 recruits CDK8-Mediator to a subset of CGI-associated promoters of repressed developmental genes in ESCs. We show that FBXL19-dependent recruitment of CDK8 in ESCs is required for the proper induction of the associated genes during ESC differentiation. This is consistent with early embryonic lethality of in FBXl19 deficient mice. Together, our observations highlight a novel role for FBXL19 in priming developmental gene expression, via recruitment of CDK8 to their CGI promoters, in order to support normal gene induction during differentiation and development.

BANP is an essential transcription factor that opens chromatin and activates CpG island regulated genes

Project description:While the majority of RNA polymerase II initiation events in mammalian genomes take place within CpG island (CGI) promoters, our understanding of their regulation remains limited. Here we combine single-molecule footprinting with interaction proteomics to identify BANP as a critical CGI regulator and the long sought-after TF that binds the orphan CGCG element in mouse and human. We show that BANP drives the activity of essential metabolic genes in the mouse genome in pluripotent and terminally differentiated cells. However, BANP binding is strongly repelled by DNA methylation of its motif in vitro and in vivo, which epigenetically restricts most binding to CGIs and accounts for its absence at aberrantly methylated CGIs in cancer cells. Upon binding to an unmethylated motif, BANP opens chromatin and phases nucleosomes. Our results establish Banp as a critical activator and put forth a model whereby CGI promoter activity relies on methylation-sensitive TFs capable of chromatin opening.

Cell Type-Specific DNA Methylation at Intragenic CpG Islands in the Immune System (MAP-Seq and ChIP-Seq data)

Project description:Human and mouse genomes contain a similar number of CpG islands (CGIs), which are discrete CpG-rich DNA sequences associated with transcription start sites. In both species, about 50% of all CGIs are remote from annotated promoters, but nevertheless often have promoter-like features. To document the role of CGI methylation in cell differentiation, we analysed DNA methylation at a comprehensive CGI set in cells of the mouse hematopoietic lineage. Using a method that potentially detects ~33% of genomic CpGs in the methylated state (>7 million) we found that large differences in gene expression were accompanied by surprisingly few DNA methylation changes. There were, however, many DNA methylation differences between hematopoietic cells and a distantly related tissue, brain. Altered DNA methylation occurred predominantly at CGIs within gene bodies, which have the properties of cell type-restricted promoters, but infrequently at annotated gene promoters or CGI flanking sequences. Elevated intragenic CGI methylation correlated with silencing of the associated gene. Differentially methylated intragenic CGIs tended to lack H3K4me3 and associate with a transcriptionally repressive environment regardless of methylation state. Our results indicate that DNA methylation changes play a relatively minor role in the late stages of differentiation, but point to a distinct role for intragenic CGIs.
