Project description:Histone variants contribute to the complexity of the chromatin landscape and play an integral role in defining DNA domains and regulating gene expression. The histone H3 variant H3.3 is incorporated into genic elements independent of DNA replication by its chaperone HIRA. Here we demonstrate that Hira is required for the self-renewal of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and to restrain erythroid differentiation. Deletion of Hira led to rapid depletion of HSCs while differentiated hematopoietic cells remained largely unaffected. Depletion of HSCs after Hira deletion was accompanied by increased expression of bivalent and erythroid genes, which were exacerbated upon cell division and paralleled increased erythroid differentiation. Assessing H3.3 occupancy identified a subset of polycomb-repressed chromatin in HSCs that depend on HIRA to maintain the inaccessible, H3.3-occupied state for gene repression. HIRA-dependent H3.3 incorporation thus defines distinct repressive chromatin that represses erythroid differentiation of HSCs.

Project description:The HIRA chaperone complex, comprised of HIRA, UBN1 and CABIN1, collaborates with histone-binding protein ASF1a to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. To better understand its function and mechanism, we integrated HIRA, UBN1, ASF1a and histone H3.3 ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses. Most HIRA-binding sites co-localize with UBN1, ASF1a and H3.3 at active promoters and active and weak/poised enhancers. At promoters, binding of HIRA/UBN1/ASF1a correlates with the level of gene expression. HIRA is required for deposition of histone H3.3 at its binding sites. There are marked differences in nucleosome and co-regulator composition at different classes of HIRA-bound regulatory site. Underscoring this, we report novel physical interactions between the HIRA complex and transcription factors, a chromatin insulator and an ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling complex. Our results map the distribution of the HIRA chaperone across the chromatin landscape and point to different interacting partners at functionally distinct regulatory sites. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after knockdown of HIRA HeLa cells were nucleofacted with Dharmacon control siRNA and siRNA to HIRA and RNA was isolated 72 hours after transfection in four biological replicates

Project description:The incorporation of histone variant H3.3 has been implicated in the formation and maintenance of specialized chromatin structure in metazoan cells. H3.3 is enriched in promoters, regulatory elements and genebody, and HIRA is required for H3.3 enrichment in these regions. But the mechanism of regulating H3.3 deposition by HIRA remains elusive. By screening a custom library of small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting known chromatin regulators, we identify single-stranded DNA binding protein RPA as being critically required for deposition of newly synthesized H3.3. RPA interacts with HIRA and H3.3 and co-localizes with HIRA at gene promoters and some regulatory elements across genome wide. Deletion of RPA dramatically reduces the enrichment of HIRA and newly synthesized H3.3 at these regions and reduced nascent anti-sense transcription. Taken together, our data demonstrate that RPA functions as new regulator of H3.3 deposition in promoter and some regulatory elements by recruiting HIRA and reveal a novel mechanism for RPA in chromatin and gene regulation.

Project description:Histone chaperones are responsible for the deposition and removal of histones in chromatin and critical to prevent the abnormal activation of retrotransposable elements, which can be harmful to genome stability. One of the important histone chaperones is HIRA complex, which consists of Hira, Ubn1/Ubn2, and Cabin1 and mediates the installment of H3.3-H4 to nucleosome. We studied the function of members of HIRA complex in suppressing ERVs and found that histone H3.3 are enriched on all three classes of ERVs. Different HIRA members act distinctly in silencing ERVs. Ubn2 represses Class III ERVs including MERVL and Hira mainly silences Class I and Class II ERVs. Hira is enriched on Class I and II ERVs whereas its depletion affects the recruitment of H3.3. In contrast, Ubn2 is enriched on Class III ERVs, while its depletion influences H3.3 deposition and H3K9 methylation. This study extends our understandings of the mechanism by novel factors regulates ERVs.

Project description:Cellular metabolism and chromatin landscape both contribute to cell fate determination. However, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here we show that Prohibitin (PHB), an evolutionarily conserved protein, involves in a histone variant H3.3 chaperon HIRA complex-dependent epigenetic and metabolic circuitry to maintain the identity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We found that silencing of PHB triggers hESC differentiation with concomitant enhancements of histone 3 (H3) lysine (K) methyl modifications as a result of the reduced production of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), a metabolite required for activities of many dioxygenase and in turn chromatin structure1,2. Mechanistically, PHB acts as a functional member of the HIRA complex3,4. Resembling PHB deficiency, loss of HIRA in hESCs leads to massive differentiation and aberrant histone modifications, although it was previously found not to disrupt the self-renewal in mouse ESCs (mESCs)5. Genome-wide H3.3 ChIP- sequence analyses indicate that reduction of H3.3 deposition caused by PHB knock down is extremely similar to that induced by HIRA knock down. Specifically, silencing either HIRA or PHB leads to repressive chromatin characters at promoters of pluripotency genes and isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs), the enzyme responsible for α-KG production, but active chromatin features at promoters of developmental genes, paralleling to transcript levels of these genes. Our results identify PHB as an essential factor not only for hESC self-renewal but also for the proper function of the HIRA complex, linking the HIRA complex-dependent H3.3 deposition to the production of a critical metabolite required for shaping chromatin structure, and demonstrating the importance of the interplay between epigenetic state and metabolic regulation in cell fate determination. Examination of H3.3 deposition in NT, PHB, and HIRA siRNA treated hESCs respectively.

Project description:The synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) reconfigures the local environment and recruits repair complexes to damaged chromatin. The degradation of PAR by PARG is essential for progression and completion of DNA repair. Here, we show that inhibition of PARG disrupts homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanisms that underpin alternative telomere lengthening (ALT). By proteomics, we uncovered a novel role for PARylation in regulating the chromatin assembly factor, HIRA in ALT cancer cells. We show that HIRA is enriched at telomeres during G2 phase and is indispensable for histone H3.3 deposition and telomere DNA synthesis. Depletion of HIRA elicits systemic death of ALT cancer cells was mitigated by re-expression of ATRX protein that is frequently inactivated in ALT tumors. We propose that PARylation enables HIRA to fulfill its essential role in the adaptive response due to ATRX deficiency that pervades ALT cancers.
