PRMT5-mediated histone arginine methylation antagonizes transcriptional repression by polycomb complex PRC2 (RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) catalyzes the symmetric di-methylation of arginine residues in histones H3 and H4, marks generally associated with transcriptional repression. However, we found that PRMT5 inhibition (or depletion) led to more genes being down-regulated than up-regulated, indicating that PRMT5 can also act as a transcriptional activator. Indeed, the global level of histone H3K27me3 increases in PRMT5 deficient cells. Although PRMT5 does not directly affect PRC2 enzymatic activity, methylation of histone H3 by PRMT5 abrogates its subsequent methylation by PRC2. Treating AML cells with an EZH2 inhibitor partially restored the expression of approximately 50% of the genes that are initially down-regulated by PRMT5 inhibition, suggesting that the increased H3K27me3 contributes to the transcription repression of these genes. Interestingly, the growth inhibitory effect of PRMT5 inhibition was also partially rescued by combined treatment with EZH2 inhibitor in several leukemia cell lines. Thus, PRMT5-mediated crosstalk between histone marks contributes to its functional effects.

Project description:Chromatin structure and function is maintained by dynamic protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. Histones are a family of proteins that are abundant chromatin constituents and that carry numerous post-translational modifications (PTMs). Histone PTMs mediate a variety of biological activities, including recruitment of enzymatic readers, writers and erasers that modulate protein activities, DNA replication, transcription and repair. Individual histone molecules contain multiple co-existing PTMs some of which exhibit crosstalk, i.e. coordinated or mutually exclusive activities. We here present an integrated experimental and computational approach for systems level molecular characterization of PTMs and PTM crosstalk. Using wildtype and engineered mouse embryonic stem cells with perturbations in the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1, suz12-/-), PRC2 (Ring1A/b-/-) and DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt1/3a/3b-/-) we performed comprehensive PTM analysis of histone H3 tails. We identified unique histone H3 PTM features of each of the four cell lines and we detected common combinatorial PTM features across cell lines. Using quantitative middle-down proteomics combined with probabilistic and statistical data analysis we extracted histone H3 PTM profiles for all four mESC systems. PTM crosstalk emerged as mutually exclusive histone PTMs or coordinately regulated PTMs independent of histone peptide abundance in the four model systems. We detected positive crosstalk between adjacent mono-methylated marks but strong negative crosstalk among most of the seven characterized di- and tri-methylations on lysines. We report novel features of PTM interplay involving hitherto poorly characterized arginine methylation and lysine methylation sites in histone H3, including H3R2me, H3R8me and H3K37me, which exhibited specific PTM codes suggesting a particular role in chromatin. All histone H3 PTM data is available in our publicly available CrossTalkDB repository at http://crosstalkdb.bmb.sdu.dk
