Project description:In budding yeast, Set2 catalyzes di- and trimethylation of H3K36 (H3K36me2 and H3K36me3) via an interaction between its SRI domain and C-terminal repeats of RNA polymerase II (Pol2) phosphorylated at Ser2 and Ser5 (CTD-S2,5-P). H3K36me2 recruits the Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex to repress cryptic transcription from transcribed regions. In fission yeast, Set2 is also responsible for H3K36 methylation, which represses a subset of RNAs including heterochromatic and subtelomeric RNAs, at least in part via recruitment of Clr6 complex II, a homolog of Rpd3S. Here, we show that CTD-S2Pâdependent interaction of fission yeast Set2 with Pol2 via the SRI domain is required for formation of H3K36me3, but not H3K36me2. H3K36me3 silenced heterochromatic and subtelomeric transcripts through post-transcriptional and transcriptional mechanisms, respectively, whereas H3K36me2 did not. Clr6 complex II appeared not to be responsible for heterochromatic silencing. Our results demonstrate that H3K36 methylation has multiple outputs in fission yeast; these findings provide insight into the multiple roles of H3K36 methylation in metazoans, which have different enzymes for synthesis of H3K36me1/2 and H3K36me3.

Project description:E2F-2 is a retinoblastoma (Rb)-regulated transcription factor induced during terminal erythroid maturation. Cyclin E-mediated Rb hyperphosphorylation induces E2F transcriptional activator functions. We previously reported that deregulated cyclin E activity causes defective terminal maturation of nucleated erythroblasts in vivo Here, we found that these defects are normalized by E2F-2 deletion; however, anemia in mice with deregulated cyclin E is not improved by E2F-2-loss, which itself causes reduced peripheral red blood cell (RBC) counts without altering relative abundances of erythroblast subpopulations. To determine how E2F-2 regulates RBC production, we comprehensively studied erythropoiesis using knockout mice and hematopoietic progenitors. We found that efficient stress erythropoiesis in vivo requires E2F-2, and we also identified an unappreciated role for E2F-2 in erythroblast enucleation. In particular, E2F-2 deletion impairs nuclear condensation, a morphological feature of maturing erythroblasts. Transcriptome profiling of E2F-2-null, mature erythroblasts demonstrated widespread changes in gene expression. Notably, we identified citron Rho-interacting kinase (CRIK), which has known functions in mitosis and cytokinesis, as induced in erythroblasts in an E2F-2-dependent manner, and we found that CRIK activity promotes efficient erythroblast enucleation and nuclear condensation. Together, our data reveal novel, lineage-specific functions for E2F-2 and suggest that some mitotic kinases have specialized roles supporting enucleation of maturing erythroblasts.
