Project description:Mammalian genomes encode several hundred Krüppel-associated box zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) that bind DNA in a sequence-specific manner through tandem arrays of C2H2-type zinc fingers and repress transcription via KRAB-dependent recruitment of the silencing cofactor KAP1. The KRAB-ZFP family rapidly amplified and diversified in mammals by segmental gene duplications, mutations, and zinc finger rearrangements likely in response to continued transposable element invasions, but the biological functions and in vivo requirement of these proteins has gone largely unexplored. We determined the genomic binding sites of 61 murine KRAB-ZFPs and genetically deleted five large KRAB-ZFP gene clusters encoding more than 100 of the approximately 360 mouse KRAB-ZFPs. We demonstrate that most KRAB-ZFPs bind to specific retrotransposon families and that many of these retrotransposons are transcriptionally activated in KRAB-ZFP cluster KO ESCs, licensing retrotransposon-derived enhancers to activate nearby genes.

Project description:The tetrapod-restricted KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are essential early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress via their cofactor KAP1 and associated effectors through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a target-centered functional screen, we matched several murine TEs with their cognate KRAB-ZFP. This revealed an unexpected level of granularity in their interactions, with KRAB-ZFPs recognizing TEs from more than one subfamily, TEs recruiting more than one KRAB-ZFP, and spatially and temporally differential KRAB-ZFP-mediated regulation of TEs and nearby genes. Most importantly, we discovered that the KRAB/KAP1 system controls TEs in adult tissues, in cell culture and in vivo, where they partner up to regulate the expression of cellular genes. Therefore, TEs and KRAB-ZFPs establish widely active transcription networks that regulate not only development but probably also many physiological events. Given the high degree of species-specificity of both TEs and KRAB-ZFPs, these results have important implications for studying and understanding the biology of higher vertebrates, including humans.

Here we report the identification of the genome-wide binding profiles of 61 mouse KRAB-ZFPs by overexpression of epitope-tagged transgenes. We found that 51 of these KRAB-ZFPs target at least one retrotransposon group. Interestingly, evolutionary young and still active retrotransposons such as IAP and ETn elements are targeted by several KRAB-ZFPs which are mainly encoded within two gene clusters that are not conserved in any other sequenced species. This indicated that an evolutionary arms race drives the rapid expansion of KRAB-ZFP genes in order to restrict active retrotransposons.

Project description:We have shown that many mouse KRAB-ZFPs target retrotransposons which are generally marked by H3K9me3 and KAP1 in ES cells. To test whether these KRAB-ZFPs are require to establish and maintain repressive chromatin marks at these elements, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against KAP1 (2 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs) and H3K9me3 (5 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs). We show that KRAB-ZFP targeted retrotransposons show reduced KAP1 binding and H3K9me3 in these KO ES cells. Furthermore, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against histone modifications typical for promoters and enhancers in Chr4-cl KO ES cells and testis. We show that, in ES cells, ETn retrotransposons gain signatures of active enhancers which acts on earby gene expression. In testis, a handful of different retrotransposons gain enhancer marks, although to a lesser degree. In conclusion, our data shows that KRAB-ZFPs are required to maintain H3K9me3 at retrotransposons in ES cells and to prevent some retrotransposons of becoming enhancers that affect gene expression patterns.

Project description:Encoded in the hundreds by the human genome, KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) constitute a rapidly evolving family of transcription factors with largely undefined functions. Here, by a combination of phylogenetic and genomic approaches, we retrace the evolutionary history of KRAB-ZFP genes and define the genomic targets of their human products. Through in silico analysis of 207 vertebrate genomes and chromatin immunoprecipitation / deep sequencing characterization of 257 human KRAB-ZFPs, we identify the root of the family in an early Devonian ancestor of tetrapods, describe its diversity amongst these species, and reveal that the majority of its human members primarily recognize transposable elements. Furthermore, by dissecting the timeline and modalities of interactions between human KRAB-ZFPs and their targets, we provide evidence strongly suggesting that these proteins, rather than just engaged in an evolutionary arms race against transposable elements, exploit these invaders as regulatory platforms for the benefit of the host.

Project description:We report a retrotransposon-specific loss of CpG methylation in chromosome 4 KRAB-ZFP cluster (Chr4-cl) KO ES cells that are cultivated in conditions that induce DNA hypomethylation. The retrotransposon groups with the strongest DNA methylation loss are the main targets of the KRAB-ZFPs within the deleted gene cluster indicating that these KRAB-ZFPs prevent complete DNA demethylation at retrotransposons during global DNA demethylation.

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is fundamental for B cell differentiation. Here, we explored the role in this process of KAP1, the cofactor of KRAB-ZFP transcriptional repressors. B lymphoid-specific Kap1 knockout mice displayed reduced numbers of mature B cells, lower steady-state levels of antibodies and accelerated rates of decay of neutralizing antibodies following viral immunization. Transcriptome analyses of Kap1-deleted B splenocytes revealed an upregulation of PTEN, the enzymatic counter-actor of PIK3 signaling, and of genes encoding DNA damage response factors, cell-cycle regulators and chemokine receptors. ChIP/seq studies established that KAP1 bound at or close to a number of these genes, and controlled chromatin status at their promoters. Genome-wide, KAP1-binding sites avoided active B cell-specific enhancers and were enriched in repressive histone marks, further supporting a role for this molecule in gene silencing in vivo. Likely responsible for tethering KAP1 to at least some of these targets, a discrete subset of KRAB-ZFPs is enriched in B lymphocytes. This work thus reveals the role of KRAB/KAP1-mediated epigenetic regulation in B cell development and homeostasis. Follicular (FO) and Transcriptional 2 Follicular Progenitor (T2-FP) B cells were sorted out from 3 CD19-Cre/Kap1flox (KAP1 KO in the B lineage) mice and 3 wt/Kap1flox littermate controls

Project description:Viral DNA genomes replicating in cells encounter a myriad of host factors that facilitate or hinder viral replication. Viral proteins expressed early during infection modulate host factors interacting with viral genomes, recruiting proteins to promote viral replication, and limiting access to antiviral repressors. Although some host factors manipulated by viruses have been identified, we know little about pathways exploited during infection and how these differ between viruses. To identify cellular processes manipulated during viral replication, we defined proteomes associated with viral genomes during infection with adenovirus, herpes simplex virus and vaccinia virus. We compared enrichment of host factors between virus proteomes and confirmed association with viral genomes and replication compartments. Using adenovirus as an illustrative example, we uncovered host factors deactivated by early viral proteins, and identified a subgroup of nucleolar proteins that aid virus replication. Our datasets provide valuable resources of virus-host interactions that affect proteins on viral genomes.
