ChIP-seq of QSER1-FLAG, TET1-V5, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, EZH2, BCOR, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me2, H3K36me3, H3K27ac, and H3K4me1.

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and dysregulation can cause serious pathological conditions. Key enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation are known, but how they cooperate to tightly regulate the methylation landscape remains a central question. Utilizing a knockin DNA methylation reporter, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen in human embryonic stem cells to discover DNA methylation regulators. The top screen hit was an uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be a key guardian of bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA methylation valleys (or canyons). We further demonstrate cooperation of QSER1 and TET1 through genetic and biochemical interactions to inhibit DNMT3-mediated de novo methylation and safeguard developmental programs.

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) profiling of H1 WT hESCs

Project description:DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and aberrant regulation can lead to disease. The enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation have been identified, but how tightly regulated DNA methylation patterns are achieved globally remains a central question. To discover regulators of DNA methylation in human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs), we engineered a DNA methylation reporter line and performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen. Through our screen, we identified the functionally uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be essential for protection from DNA hypermethylation at bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA Methylation Valleys (DMVs). Further mechanistic enquiry revealed that QSER1 protein depends on TET1 for efficient recruitment to DNA, and QSER1 occupancy inhibits the binding of DNMT3B. Our discovery of QSER1 is a major advance in understanding TET-dependent protection from DNA hypermethylation and provides mechanistic insight into how epigenetic factors can cooperate to target locus-specific regulation.

Gain of function DNMT3A mutations cause microcephalic dwarfism and hypermethylation of Polycomb-regulated regions (human RRBS)

Project description:DNA methylation and Polycomb are key factors in the establishment of vertebrate cellular identity and fate. Here we report de novo missense mutations in DNMT3A, encoding the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A, that cause microcephalic dwarfism, a hypocellular disorder of extreme global growth failure. Substitutions in the PWWP domain abrogate binding to the histone modifications H3K36me2/3, and alter DNA methylation in patient cells. Polycomb-associated DNA methylation canyons/valleys, hypomethylated domains encompassing developmental genes, become methylated with concomitant depletion of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 bivalent marks. Such de novo DNA methylation occurs during differentiation of Dnmt3aW326R pluripotent cells in vitro, and is also evident in Dnmt3aW326R/+ dwarf mice. We therefore propose that the interaction of the DNMT3A PWWP domain with H3K36me2/3 normally limits DNA methylation of polycomb-marked regions. Our findings implicate the interplay between DNA methylation and polycomb at key developmental regulators as a determinant of organism size in mammals.
