Project description:RYBP (Ring1 and YY1 binding protein), an essential component of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), plays pivotal roles in development and diseases. However, the roles of Rybp in neuronal development remains completely unknown. In the present study, we have shown that the depletion of Rybp inhibits proliferation and promotes neuronal differentiation of embryonic neural progenitor cells (eNPCs). In addition, Rybp deficiency impairs the morphological development of neurons. Mechanistically, Rybp deficiency does not affect the global level of ubiquitination of H2A, but it inhibits Notch signaling pathway in eNPCs. The direct interaction between RYBP and CIR1 facilitates the binding of RBPJ to Notch intracellular domain (NICD) and consequently activated Notch signaling. Rybp loss promotes CIR1 competing with RBPJ to bind with NICD, and inhibits Notch signaling. Furthermore, ectopic Hes5, Notch signaling downstream target, rescues Rybp-deficiency-induced deficits. Collectively, our findings show that RYBP regulates embryonic neurogenesis and neuronal development through modulating Notch signaling in a PRC1-independent manner.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) comprises two different complexes: CBX-containing canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) and RYBP/YAF2-containing variant PRC1 (vPRC1). RYBP and its paralog YAF2 recruit vPRC1 to catalyze H2AK119ub through a positive-feedback model. Here, we show that expression of RYBP and YAF2 decreases and increases, respectively, during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Rybp knockout impairs neural differentiation by activating Wnt signaling and derepressing nonneuroectoderm-associated genes. However, Yaf2 knockout promotes neural differentiation and leads to redistribution of RYBP binding, increases enrichment of RYBP and H2AK119ub on the RYBP-YAF2 co-targeted genes, and prevents ectopic derepression of nonneuroectoderm-associated genes in neural-differentiated cells. Furthermore, the phase separations mediated by RYBP alone or together with RING1B are easier and more stable than those by YAF2, which might facilitate the deposition of H2AK119ub more abundantly by RYBP-PRC1 than YAF2-PRC1. Together, this study reveals that RYBP might maintain repressed chromatin more strongly and function differentially in regulating mESC neural differentiation compared with YAF2.

Project description:The heterogeneous nature of mammalian PRC1 complexes has hindered our understanding of their biological functions. Here, we present a comprehensive proteomic and genomic analysis that uncovered six major groups of PRC1 complexes each containing a distinct PCGF subunit, a RING1A/B ubiquitin ligase, and a unique set of associated polypeptides. These PRC1 complexes differ in their genomic localization and only a small subset co-localize with H3K27me3. Further biochemical dissection revealed that the six PCGFM-bM-^@M-^SRING1A/B combinations form multiple complexes through association with RYBP or its homolog YAF2, which prevents the incorporation of other canonical PRC1 subunits such as CBX, PHC and SCM. Although both RYBP/YAF2- and CBX/PHC/SCM-containing complexes compact chromatin, only RYBP stimulates the activity of RING1B toward H2AK119ub1, suggesting a central role in PRC1 function. Knockdown of RYBP in ES cells compromised their ability to form embryoid bodies, likely because of defects in cell proliferation and maintenance of H2AK119ub1 level. ChIP-seq experiments of different PRC1 components were performed either on HA-tagged transgenic stable 293T-REx lines or on endogenous subunits using specific antibodies.

Project description:Ring1 and Yy1 binding protein (Rybp) has been implicated in transcriptional regulation, apoptotic signaling and as a member of the polycomb repressive complex 1, it has an important function in regulating pluripotency and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Earlier, we had proved that Rybp plays an essential role in mouse embryonic and central nervous system development. This work identifies Rybp, as a critical regulator of heart development. Rybp is readily detectable in the developing mouse heart from day 8.5 of embryonic development. Prominent Rybp expression persists during all embryonic stages, and Rybp marks differentiated cell types of the heart. By utilizing rybp null ESCs in an in vitro cardiac differentiation assay, we found that rybp null ESCs do not form rhythmically beating cardiomyocytes (CMCs). Gene expression profiles revealed a downregulation of cardiac terminal and upregulation of germline-specific markers in the rybp null CMCs. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis uncovered a number of novel candidate target genes regulated by Rybp. Among these are several that are important in cardiac development and contractility such as Plagl1, Isl1, and Tnnt2. Importantly, forced expression of rybp in rybp-deficient ESCs by a lentiviral vector was able to rescue the mutant phenotype. Our data provide evidence for a previously unrecognized function of Rybp in heart development and point out the importance of germ cell lineage gene silencing during somatic differentiation.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) comprises two different complexes: CBX-containing canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) and RYBP/YAF2-containing variant PRC1 (vPRC1). RYBP-vPRC1 or YAF2-vPRC1 catalyzes H2AK119ub through a positive-feedback model; however, whether RYBP and YAF2 have different regulatory functions is still unclear. Here, we show that the expression of RYBP and YAF2 decreases and increases, respectively, during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Rybp knockout impairs neural differentiation by activating Wnt signaling and derepressing nonneuroectoderm-associated genes. However, Yaf2 knockout promotes neural differentiation and leads to redistribution of RYBP binding, increases enrichment of RYBP and H2AK119ub on the RYBP-YAF2 cotargeted genes, and prevents ectopic derepression of nonneuroectoderm-associated genes in neural-differentiated cells. Taken together, this study reveals that RYBP and YAF2 function differentially in regulating mESC neural differentiation.

Project description:Understanding the molecular basis of cell fate decision is critical to shed light onto biological processes supporting tissue formation. In particular, whether lineage-fated cells derive from multi-primed progenitors and need to establish active fate restriction mechanisms to engage in a differentiation pathway is still matter of debate. To characterise the mechanisms underlying specification of blood-fated cells from mesodermal precursors, we studied the transcriptional activity of the key hematopoietic regulator SCL/TAL1. Scl-null mouse embryos die at embryonic day E9.5 from absence of blood formation, and exhibit mis-specification of mesodermal cells into cardiomyocytes, thus offering an excellent entry point for mechanistic studies of fate determination. Using high-throughput assays from mouse ES cell-derived mesodermal cells, we showed that, in parallel with activating the blood program and repressing the cardiac and paraxial programs, SCL strongly activates expression of repressors, such as ETO2 (known partner of SCL) and RYBP (member of Polycomb repressive complex PRC1). ETO2’s association with chromatin reflects SCL’s overall genomic binding, pointing to ETO2’s modulatory, rather than purely repressive, transcriptional activities. In contrast, SCL/RYBP chromatin co-occupancy is preferentially enriched at genes normally repressed in blood-fated cells and involved in early developmental processes and alternative lineages, highlighting a relationship between SCL and RYBP/PRC1 in repressive processes. Remarkably, SCL is critical for maintaining high levels of PRC1-associated repressive histone mark H2AK119ub genome-wide. It is also required for maximal levels of repressive mark H3K27me3 on genes normally repressed. Finally, Rybp knock-down in differentiating ES cells phenocopies the cardiac phenotype of Scl-null cells, supporting a functional interaction between SCL and a critical repressive chromatin remodeling complex. Altogether, these data unveil the establishment of a repressive environment in mesodermal progenitors by a hematopoietic-specific transcriptional regulator. This leads to restriction of expression of regulators of alternative fates and uncompromised commitment towards a hematopoietic identity.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) are important chromatin regulators of ES cell function. RYBP binds Polycomb H2A monoubiquitin ligases Ring1A and Ring1B, and has been suggested to participate in localizing Polycomb complexes to their targets. Moreover, constitutive inactivation of RYBP precludes ES cell formation. Here we have used ES cells conditionally deficient in RYBP to investigate RYBP function. Chromosome immunoprecipitation on a chip (ChIP-chip) of RYBP and microarray experiments were performed using wild type and knocked-out ES cells. Gene expression profiling of WT, conditionally deficient in RYBP with or without Yaf2 RNAi, and ChIP-chip of RYBP on promoters of WT, Dnmt1-KO or Eed-KO ES cells.

Project description:The selective expression is pivotal in orchestrating human development, with the Trithorax Group (TrxG) and Polycomb Group (PcG) complexes playing crucial roles in transcriptional activation and repression, respectively. However, mechanism underlying selective regulation of transcription by TrxG and PcG remains poorly understood. In this study, RYBP was observed to interact with TrxG and PcG components. RYBP and TrxG co-localized loci selectively enriches RING1B. STAT3 enriches at RYBP-TrxG co-localized loci devoid of RING1B, while displaying minimal enrichment at RING1B-enrichred loci. Introduction of STAT3 at RYBP loci disrupted RING1B aggregation and chromatin binding. RYBP-deficiency impairs TrxG deposition at DNA repair genes in RYBP-TrxG loci, consequently diminishing their expression and inducing DNA damage. These results facilitate the transition of embryonic stem cells to 2-cell-like cells. Additionally, RYBP-deficiency attenuates PcG deposition at lineage-specific genes within RYBP-TrxG-RING1B loci, thereby promoting ESC differentiation. Collectively, these results provide novel insights into the selective regulation of gene expression.
