Project description:The chromatin modifying activities inherent to polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play an essential role in gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and development. However, the mechanisms by which these complexes recognize their target sites and function together to form repressive chromatin domains remain poorly understood. Recruitment of PRC1 to target sites has been proposed to occur through a hierarchical process, dependent on the prior nucleation of PRC2 and placement of H3K27me3. Here, using a de novo targeting assay in mouse embryonic stem cells we unexpectedly discover that PRC1-dependent H2AK119ub1 leads to the recruitment of PRC2 and H3K27me3 to effectively initiate a polycomb domain. Genetic ablation of catalytic subunit of the PRC1 complex (RINGA/B) and ChIP-seq analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 components confirmed genome-wide decreases in PRC2 occupancy and H3K27me3 levels at PRC target sites. This activity is restricted to variant PRC1 complexes and genetic ablation experiments reveal that targeting of the variant PCGF1/PRC1 complex by KDM2B to CpG islands is required for polycomb domain formation and normal development. Together these observations provide a surprising new PRC1-dependent logic for PRC2 occupancy and polycomb domain formation. RING1A-/-;RING1Bfl/fl ES cells were treated with 800M-BM-5M tamoxifen for 48hours and compared to untreated control cells by ChIP-seq for RING1B, SUZ12, EZH2 and H3K27me3.

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of PRC2 core subunits chromatin states and histone modifications in two prostate cancer cell lines, androgen-dependent cells LNCaP and androgen-independent cells LNCaP-abl (abl). By obtaining over 1 billion bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated the genome-wide localizations of EZH2, SUZ12 and H3K27 trimethylation in both cell lines, and found that EZH2 can be localized to a subsets of chromating sites that don't have H3K27me3 or SUZ12 signals nearby. Interestingly, these sites are enriched for the active histone marks H3K4 di/trimethylation as well as the RNA polymerase II, which suggest the potential function of these peaks in gene activation. Indeed, these sites are enriched near the transcription start sites of EZH2-activated genes. Further analysis of the transcription factor motifs enriched at these peaks revealed the enrichement of androgen receptor motif, suggesting a co-activator role for EZH2 in concert with AR. Our work demonstrated a novel funtion of EZH2 in transcriptional activation by directly binding to the chromatin sites that cooperate with AR.

Project description:This experiment sought to determine the chromatin structure and PRC2 occupancy at the promoters of all genes in mouse ESCs ChIP-seq for EZH2, SUZ12, and H3K27me3 were performed on WT E14 cells in 2 biological replicates each. In addition H3K27me3 ChIP-seq was also performed on a clone of E14 cells expressing a tagged version of EZH2, which for the purpose of this study was used as replicate #3.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays crucial roles in transcriptional regulation and stem cell development. However, the context-specific functions associated with alternative subunits remain largely unexplored. Here we show that the related enzymatic subunits EZH1 and EZH2 undergo an expression switch during hematopoiesis. We examine the in vivo stoichiometry of the PRC2 complexes by quantitative proteomics and reveal the existence of an EZH1-SUZ12 sub-complex lacking EED. We provide evidence that EZH1 together with SUZ12 form a non-canonical PRC2 complex, occupy active chromatin domains in the absence of H3K27me3, and positively regulate gene expression. Loss of EZH2 expression leads to global repositioning of EZH1 chromatin occupancy to EZH2 targets. Moreover, we demonstrate that an erythroid-specific enhancer mediates transcriptional activation of EZH1, and a switch from GATA2 to GATA1 controls the developmental EZH1/2 switch by differential association with EZH1 enhancers during erythropoiesis. Thus, the lineage- and developmental stage-specific regulation of PRC2 expression and subunit composition leads to a switch from canonical silencing to non-canonical PRC2 functions during blood stem cell specification.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains developmental regulator genes in a repressed state through methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and is necessary for cell differentiation. We and others have previously found that the PRC2 subunit Suz12 interacts with RNA in vitro and other studies have shown that Ezh2 and Jarid2 also possess RNA binding function. The interaction of PRC2 with RNA has been suggested to regulate PRC2 targeting or enzymatic activity, but the RNAs directly bound by PRC2 in cells, and the role of each PRC2 RNA binding subunit, remain unclear. We have used different CLIP techniques, which use UV-crosslinking to allow detection of direct Suz12-RNA interactions as they occur in living mouse ES cells. Suz12 binds nascent RNA and has a preference for interaction with the 3’UTR, showing it does have binding specificity in cells. RNAs bound by Suz12 at the 3’UTR encode developmental regulator genes. Suz12 remains bound to RNA upon deletion of Ezh2 or Jarid2 showing that it binds RNA independently of other PRC2 subunits. We also show that binding of Suz12 to RNA or chromatin is mutually inhibitory. Although Ezh2 and Jarid2 also bind RNA, Ezh2 and Jarid2 deletion causes an increase in Suz12 RNA binding, without changing its specificity, which reflects the loss of Suz12 from chromatin. Similarly, disruption of Suz12-RNA interactions by RNA polymerase II inhibition or RNase treatment increases Suz12 binding to chromatin. These results therefore suggest that Suz12 acts as an RNA sensor, binding to the 3’UTR of nascent RNAs and modulating the interaction of PRC2 with chromatin.
