The histone H3G34R mutation disrupts the epigenome via catalytic inactivation of the ASH1 H3K36 methyltransferase [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The recurrent mutation of histone variant H3.3 at glycine-34 (H3.3G34) defines a type of pediatric glioma. Characteristic changes to the epigenome associated with the disease are thought to be the consequence of altered methylation of the adjacent lysine-36 (K36) residue, but the complexity of this regulatory pathway in humans, combined with a multi-component disease etiology, has limited our understanding of how H3.3G34 mutations contribute to oncogenesis. Here we use Neurospora crassa to show that the most common mutation associated with this tumor, glycine to arginine (G34R), drives aberrant heterochromatin formation and abnormal growth by inhibiting the H3K36 methyltransferase ASH1. Inactivation of ASH1, either directly or with H3G34R, drives spurious intergenic DNA methylation, redistribution of H3K27 methylation, and derepression of silent genes. We provide evidence that these defects are largely due to aberrant activity of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-associated SET-2, and propose targeted SET-2 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for H3.3G34R gliomas.

The histone H3G34R mutation disrupts the epigenome via catalytic inactivation of the ASH1 H3K36 methyltransferase [ChIP-seq]

Single substitution in H3.3G34 alters DNMT3A recruitment to cause progressive neurodegeneration [multiome]

Project description:Germline histone H3.3 amino acid substitutions, including H3.3G34R/V, cause severe neurodevelopmental syndromes. To understand how these mutations impact brain development, we generated H3.3G34R/V/W knock-in mice and identified strikingly distinct developmental defects for each mutation. H3.3G34R-mutants uniquely exhibited progressive microcephaly and neurodegeneration, with abnormal accumulation of disease-associated microglia and concurrent neuronal depletion. G34R severely decreased H3K36me2 on the mutant H3.3 tail, impairing recruitment of DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A. Redistribution of DNMT3A on chromatin promoted sustained expression of complement and other innate immune genes through loss of non-CG (CH) methylation, and silencing of neuronal gene promoters through aberrant CG methylation. Persistent complement expression in G34R neurons led to neuroinflammation possibly accounting for progressive neurodegeneration. Our study reveals that H3.3G34-substitutions have differential impact on the epigenome, which underlie the diverse phenotypes observed, and uncovers unappreciated roles for H3K36me2 and DNMT3A-dependent CH-methylation in modulating synaptic pruning and neuroinflammation in post-natal brains.

Single substitution in H3.3G34 alters DNMT3A recruitment to cause progressive neurodegeneration [ChIP-seq]

Project description:De novo germline histone H3.3 amino acid substitutions, including H3.3G34R/V, cause severe neurodevelopmental syndromes. To understand how these mutations impact brain development, we generated heterozygous H3.3G34R/V/W direct knock-in mutant mice and identified strikingly distinct developmental defects for each amino acid substitution. H3.3G34R-mutant mice uniquely exhibited progressive microcephaly and neurodegeneration, associated with abnormal accumulation of damage-associated microglia and astrocytes, and concurrent neuronal depletion in postnatal brains. On the mutant H3.3 tail, G34R severely decreased H3K36me2, impairing recruitment of DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A and promoting its redistribution on chromatin. This results in loss of CH methylation at complement and other innate immune genes promoting their sustained expression, and, aberrant CG methylation at neuronal gene promoters and undue silencing. Persistent complement expression in G34R neurons led to excessive synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, and neuronal damage accounting for progressive neurodegeneration. Our study reveals H3.3G34-substitutions have differential impact on chromatin, which underlie the diverse phenotypes observed. Notably, we uncover unappreciated roles for H3K36me2 and DNMT3A-dependent CH-methylation in modulating pruning and neuroinflammation in post-natal brains.

Trithorax-group protein ASH1 defines novel H3K36me3/H3K9me3 bivalent domains

Project description:A Trithorax-group (TrxG) protein ASH1 selectively dimethylates histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) and is required for expression of Hox genes. Genome-wide targets and molecular functions of ASH1, however, have remained elusive. Here we report ChIP-seq analysis of ASH1 targets in the human genome using a leukemia cell line K562. We identified 4,596 ASH1 binding sites, 2,502 of which are in the coding region, mostly in a proximity of promoters. Remaining half of the ASH1 binding sites are in the intergenic region. Analysis of histone methyation patterns revealed that a majority of ASH1 bidning sites are closely associated not only with trimethylated H3K36 (H3K36me3) but also with H3K9me3, shedding light for the first time to H3K36/H3K9 double methylation domains. Of note, an H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1 is enriched in the ASH1 bidning sites, whereas EZH2 but not SUZ12 of the Polycomb Repression Complex 2 (PRC2) is present in bivalent domains. In addition, a small subset of ASH1 targets bear H3K4me3 and colocalize with RNA polymerase II. These select targets are highly enriched for regulators of gene expression, such as CXXC1, WHSC2/NELFA, and a battery of zinc finger proteins, suggesting that ASH1 might acts as a master regulator of gene expression.

Histone H3.3 G34 mutations promote aberrant PRC2 activity and drive tumor progression [RNA-Seq]

Project description:A remarkably high frequency of pediatric gliomas and bone tumors harbor monoallelic, missense mutations in genes encoding histone variant H3.3 at Glycine 34. We find that G34 mutations distinctly impede H3K36 methylation by SETD2. Consequently, the reduction of H3K36 methylation leads to high levels of PRC2-mediated H3K27me3 on G34 mutant nucleosomes. We find that H3.3G34W expression in murine mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) promotes aberrant gain of H3K27me2/3 and loss of H3K27ac at active enhancers containing SETD2. mMSCs expressing H3.3G34W display a unique transcriptional program that is dependent on PRC2 activity *in cis* and exhibit enhanced tumor development *in vivo*. Altogether, we demonstrate that H3.3G34 oncohistones selectively promote PRC2 activity by interfering with SETD2-mediated H3K36 methylation. We propose that PRC2-mediated silencing of enhancers involved in cell differentiation represents a potential mechanism that drives these malignancies.

Mrg15 allosterically activates Ash1’s H3K36 methyltransferase activity and facilitates Ash1’s trithorax group protein function in Drosophila

Project description:Ash1 is a classic Trithorax group protein possessing an H3K36-specific histone methyltransferase activity. Ash1 plays a critical role in antagonizing Polycomb silencing and its loss-of-function mutations lead to inactivation of certain Hox genes and homeotic transformation. Here, we report the purification of Ash1 complex with the identification of two novel subunits, Mrg15 and Nurf55. Interestingly, Mrg15 stimulates the enzymatic activity of Ash1 in vitro, and such stimulation is independent of the chromo domain of Mrg15. In vivo, Mrg15 is recruited by Ash1 to their common target genes and Mrg15 is essential for the proper deposition of H3K36me2 at these regions.
