Disordered N-Terminal DNMT3A Domain Is Required for Mouse Postnatal Development

ABSTRACT: DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3A) plays a crucial role in multiple biological processes during mouse development. We report that the longer isoform DNMT3A1, but not the shorter DNMT3A2, is essential for mouse postnatal development. DNMT3A1 binds to and regulates bivalent developmental genes in the brain. The disordered N-terminal domain is required for DNMT3A1-regulated development, DNA methylation and gene expression in the nervous system. A potential ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) in the N-terminus may bind to histone H2AK119 ubiquitination, mediating the recruitment of DNMT3A1 to its targets. These data reveal the N-terminus as a necessary regulatory domain for DNMT3A1 chromatin occupancy and functions.

The N-terminal region of DNMT3A combines multiple chromatin reading motifs to guide recruitment

Project description:DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining DNA methylation patterns. However, the mechanisms underlying DNMT3A recruitment to and function within different chromatin environments remain unclear. Using a combination of biochemical and structural approaches we find that DNMT3A interacts using multiple interfaces with chromatin; directly binding generic nucleosome features as well as site-specific post-translational histone modifications. The N-terminal region, unique to the DNMT3A1 isoform, is essential for these interactions and stabilises H3K36me2-nucleosome recruitment. Intriguingly, in the same region critical for nucleosome binding we also map a ubiquitylation-dependent recruitment motif (UDR). The UDR binds specifically to ubiquitylated H2AK119, explaining the previously observed recruitment to Polycomb-occupied heterochromatin. A cryo-EM structure of DNMT3A1-DNMT3L with a modified nucleosome reveals that the UDR interacts with the nucleosome surface including the acidic patch. Previously unexplained disease-associated mutations are present in the UDR and ablate nucleosome interactions. This leads to an increased understanding of how DNMT3A1 recruitment occurs in the genome and highlights the importance of multivalent binding of DNMT3A to histone modifications and the nucleosome.

Structure of DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A/DNMT3B bound to a nucleosome [array]

Project description:CpG methylation by the de novo DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) 3A and 3B is essential for mammalian development and differentiation and is frequently dysregulated in cancer1. These two DNMTs preferentially bind to nucleosomes yet cannot methylate the DNA wrapped around the nucleosome core2, and favor the methylation of linker DNA at positioned nucleosomes3,4. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of a ternary complex of catalytically competent DNMT3A2, the catalytically inactive accessory subunit DNMT3B3, and a nucleosome core particle flanked by linker DNA. The catalytic-like domain of the accessory DNMT3B3 binds the acidic patch of the nucleosome core, which orients the binding of DNMT3A2 to the linker DNA. The steric constraints of this arrangement suggest that nucleosomal DNA must be moved relative to the nucleosome core for de novo methylation to occur.

The interaction between DNMT3A with H3Kc36me2 modified nucleosomes

Project description:DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining DNA methylation patterns, essential for the dynamic organization of vertebrate genomes. However, the mechanisms underlying DNMT3A1's recruitment and function within different chromatin environments remain unclear. We find that DNMT3A interacts with modified nucleosomes through multivalent interactions, involving both direct binding to chromatin features and site-specific post-translational histone modifications.

Engineering of a histone-recognition domain in Dnmt3a alters the epigenetic landscape of ESCs revealing changes in lineage specification and chromosomal stability (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Histone modifications and DNA methylation represent two distinct modes of varying epigenetic landscapes, but whose exact interrelationship remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) inhibits the binding of de novo DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt) through the ATRX-DNMT3-DNMTL (ADD) domain, thus protecting H3K4me3 marked CpG islands (CGI) from DNA methylation. In addition to H3K4me3, we identified antagonistic relationship between H3T3 phosphorylation and the binding of the ADD domain to the unmodified H3 N-terminus. To assess the physiological relevance of these restrictions, we engineered the wild-type ADD domain of Dnmt3a (WT) to permit additional binding to either H3K4me3 (WWD) or H3T3ph (R) and stably introduced FLAG-tagged, full-length normal or mutant Dnmt3a2 into ESCs lacking all Dnmts (TKO; triple knock-out of Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, and Dnmt3b) using the PiggyBac transposon system. For each WT-, WWD-, and R-Dnmt3a2, we generated bulk and clonally-derived ESC lines. We then employed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify the genomic distribution of full-length WT-, WWD-, R-Dnmt3a2, and the H3K4me3 distribution. In parallel, we quantitatively measured genome-wide CpG (cytosine) methylation at base-pair resolution using an enhanced form of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), and performed RNA-seq to assess transcription in matched ESC lines. Examination of mRNA profiles in Dnmt TKO-ESCs expressing wild-type/mutant Dnmt3a2.

Cancer-associated DNA Hypermethylation of Polycomb Targets Requires DNMT3A Dual Recognition of histone H2AK119 Ubiquitination and the Nucleosome Acidic Patch [CUT7Run]

Project description:During tumor development, promoter CpG islands (CGIs) that are normally silenced by Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) become DNA hypermethylated. The molecular mechanism by which de novo DNA methyltransferase(s) catalyze CpG methylation at PRC-regulated regions remains unclear. Here we report a cryo-EM structure of DNMT3A long isoform (DNMT3A1) N-terminal region in complex with nucleosome carrying PRC1-mediated histone H2A lysine 119 mono-ubiquitination (H2AK119Ub). We identify regions within the DNMT3A1 N-terminus that bind H2AK119Ub and the nucleosome acidic patch. This bidentate interaction is specifically required for effective DNMT3A1 engagement with H2AK119Ub-modified chromatin in cells. Furthermore, aberrant redistribution of DNMT3A1 to Polycomb target genes inhibits their transcriptional derepression during cell differentiation and recapitulates the cancer-associated DNA hypermethylation signature, an effect rescued by disruption of DNMT3A1-acidic patch interaction. Together, our analyses reveal a binding interface critical for countering promoter CGI DNA hypermethylation, a major molecular hallmark of cancer.
