RNA is essential for PRC2 chromatin occupancy and function in human pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Many chromatin-binding proteins and protein complexes that regulate transcription also bind RNA. One of these, Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), deposits the H3K27me3 mark of facultative heterochromatin and is required for stem cell differentiation. PRC2 binds RNAs broadly in vivo and in vitro. Yet, whether this RNA binding has any biological importance remains unsettled. Here we tackle this question in human induced pluripotent stem cells using multiple complementary approaches. Perturbation of RNA-PRC2 interaction by RNaseA, by a chemical inhibitor of transcription, or by an RNA-binding-defective mutant all disrupted PRC2 chromatin occupancy and localization genome-wide. The physiological relevance of PRC2-RNA interactions is further underscored by the dramatic cardiomyocyte differentiation defect upon genetic disruption. We conclude that PRC2 requires RNA binding for chromatin localization in human pluripotent stem cells and in turn for defining cellular state.

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Restricts Human Naive Pluripotent Stem Cell to Trophoblast Fate Induction

Project description:Human naive pluripotent stem cells have unrestricted lineage potential. Underpinning this property, naive cells are thought to lack chromatin-based lineage barriers. However, this assumption has not been tested. Here, we apply multi-omics to comprehensively define the chromatin-associated proteome, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptome of human naive and primed pluripotent stem cells. Integrating the chromatin-bound proteome and histone modification data sets reveals differences in the relative abundance and activities of distinct chromatin modules, identifying a strong enrichment of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated H3K27me3 in naive pluripotent stem cell chromatin. Single-cell approaches and human blastoid models reveal that PRC2 activity acts as a chromatin barrier restricting the differentiation of naive cells towards the trophoblast lineage, and inhibiting PRC2 promotes trophoblast fate induction and cavity formation. Our results establish that human naive pluripotent stem cells are not epigenetically unrestricted, but instead possess chromatin mechanisms that oppose the induction of alternative cell fates.

Integrated Multi-Omics Reveal Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Restricts Human Trophoblast Induction

Project description:Human naive pluripotent stem cells have unrestricted lineage potential. Underpinning this property, naive cells are thought to lack chromatin-based lineage barriers. However, this assumption has not been tested. Here, we define the chromatin-associated proteome, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptome of human naive and primed pluripotent stem cells. Our integrated analysis reveals differences in the relative abundance and activities of distinct chromatin modules. We identify a strong enrichment of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated H3K27me3 in naive pluripotent stem cell chromatin, and H3K27me3 enrichment at promoters of lineage-determining genes, including trophoblast regulators. PRC2 activity acts as a chromatin barrier restricting the differentiation of naive cells towards the trophoblast lineage, while inhibition of PRC2 promotes trophoblast fate induction and cavity formation in human blastoids. Together, our results establish that human naive pluripotent stem cells are not epigenetically unrestricted, but instead possess chromatin mechanisms that oppose the induction of alternative cell fates.

Mapping RNA interactions of human ATRX with RepA fragment of Xist

Project description:Heterochromatin in the eukaryotic genome is rigorously controlled by the concerted action of protein factors and RNAs. Here, we investigate the RNA binding function of ATRX, a chromatin remodeler with roles in silencing of repetitive regions of the genome and in recruitment of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). We identify ATRX RNA binding regions (RBRs) and discover that the major ATRX RBR lies within the N-terminal region of the protein, distinct from its PHD and helicase domains. Deletion of this ATRX RBR (ATRXRBR) compromises ATRX interactions with RNAs in vitro and in vivo and alters its chromatin binding properties. Genome-wide studies reveal that loss of RNA interactions results in a redistribution of ATRX on chromatin. Finally, our studies identify a role for ATRX-RNA interactions in regulating PRC2 localization to a subset of polycomb target genes.

EPOP Functionally Links Elongin and Polycomb in Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:The cellular plasticity of pluripotent stem cells is thought to be sustained by genomic regions that display both active and repressive chromatin properties. These regions exhibit low levels of gene expression, yet the mechanisms controlling these levels remain unknown. Here, we describe Elongin BC as a binding factor at the promoters of bivalent sites. Biochemical and genome-wide analysis shows that Elongin BC is associated with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) in pluripotent stem cells. Elongin BC is recruited to chromatin by the PRC2-associated factor EPOP (Elongin- and POlycomb-associated Protein, also termed C17orf96, esPRC2p48, E130012A19Rik), a protein expressed in the inner cell mass of the mouse blastocyst. Both EPOP and Elongin BC are required to maintain low levels of expression at PRC2 genomic targets. Our results indicate that keeping the balance between activating and repressive cues is a more general feature of chromatin in pluripotent stem cells than previously appreciated.

A functional link between nuclear RNA decay and transcritional control mediated by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2

Project description:Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells constitute an essential cellular niche in animal development. It is well documented that ES cells are sustained by epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, but the role of post-transcriptional processes remains less explored. Here, we identify a link between nuclear RNA levels, regulated by the ‘polyA RNA exosome targeting’ (PAXT) connection, and transcriptional control, regulated by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Knockout of the PAXT component ZFC3H1 in mouse ES cells impairs their differentiation. In addition to the upregulation of bona fide PAXT substrates, Zfc3h1-/- cells abnormally express developmental genes usually subjected to PRC2-mediated repression. Such de-repression is paralleled by decreased PRC2 binding to chromatin at target genes, and low PRC2-directed H3K27 methylation. PRC2 complex stability is compromised in Zfc3h1-/- cells with elevated levels of unspecific RNA bound to PRC2 components. We propose that excess RNA hampers PRC2 function through its sequestration from DNA and complex destabilisation. Our results highlight the importance of balancing nuclear RNA levels and demonstrate the capacity of bulk RNA to regulate chromatin-associated proteins.

Apparent loss of PRC2 chromatin occupancy as an artefact of RNA depletion

Project description:RNA has been implicated in the recruitment of chromatin modifiers, and previous studies have provided evidence in favour and against this idea. RNase treatment of chromatin is a prevalent tool for the study of RNA-mediated regulation of chromatin modifiers, but the limitations of this approach remain unclear. One of the most studied chromatin modifiers in the context of RNA-mediated regulation is the H3K27me3 methyltransferase Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). RNase A treatment during chromatin immunoprecipitation (rChIP) reduces the occupancy of PRC2 on chromatin. This led to suggestions of an “RNA bridge" between PRC2 and chromatin. Here we show that RNase A treatment during chromatin immunoprecipitation leads to the apparent loss of all facultative heterochromatin, including both PRC2 and its H3K27me3 mark genome-wide. This phenomenon persists in mouse embryonic stem cells, human cancer cells and human-induced pluripotent stem cells. We track this observation to a global gain of chromatin that artificially reduces ChIP signals from facultative heterochromatin. Our results point to substantial limitations in RNase A treatment for mapping RNA-dependent chromatin occupancy and invalidate conclusions that were previously established for PRC2 based on this assay.
