ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification by targeting G9A/GLP mediated heterochromatin to silence enhancers [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: ZNF462 haploinsufficiency is linked to Weiss–Kruszka syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by neurodevelopmental defects, including autism. Though conserved in vertebrates and essential for embryonic development, the molecular functions of ZNF462 remain unclear. We identified its murine homologue ZFP462 in a screen for mediators of epigenetic gene silencing. Here we show that ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by targeting the H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase complex G9A/GLP to silence meso-endodermal genes. ZFP462 binds to transposable elements that are potential enhancers harbouring ESC-specific transcription factor binding sites. Recruiting G9A/GLP, ZFP462 seeds heterochromatin, restricting transcription factor binding. Loss of ZFP462 in ESCs results in increased chromatin accessibility at target sites and ectopic expression of meso-endodermal genes. Taken together, ZFP462 confers lineage and locus specificity to the broadly expressed epigenetic regulator G9A/GLP. Our results suggest that aberrant activation of lineage non-specific genes in the neuronal lineage underlies ZNF462-associated neurodevelopmental pathology.

Identification of proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP (EHMT2/EHMT1) complex of histone methyltransferases

Project description:G9a (EHMT2) and the G9a-like protein GLP (EHMT1) form a stable G9a/GLP heterodimer in embryonic stem cells and function cooperatively to establish and maintain the abundant repressive H3K9me2 modification, in addition to modifying several non-histone proteins. The G9a-dependent H3K9me2 is implicated in lineage-specific gene silencing and covers large chromosomal domains. While the mechanism of H3K9me2maintenance by G9a/GLP is known, how new patterns of this modification are established is not well understood. With this in mind, we used FLAG affinity purification of G9a under two different stringency conditions (150 and 300 mM NaCl) coupled with mass spectrometry to identify proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP, which could serve as potential recruiters of the complex to unmodified chromatin.

Zfp462 regulates the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells by cooperating with the core transcriptional network

Project description:Zfp462 is a vertebrate-specific C2H2-type transcription factor that has been found to play a crucial role in chromatin assembly and heterochromatin-mediated transcriptional silencing. However, its exact function in regulating the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) remains poorly understood. In this study, we observe that Zfp462 is highly expressed in undifferentiated ESCs, gradually decreases upon pluripotency exit, but then increases again during lineage differentiation. Knocking out of Zfp462 leads to reduced self-renewal of ESCs, abnormal pluripotency exit, and imbalance of lineage specification/differentiation. Multi-omics integrative analysis suggests that Zfp462 may function as a component of the ESC CORE module and collaborate with Oct4/Sox2/Nanog (OSN) to regulate the expression of pluripotency and developmental genes. Collectively, our research not only reveals the functions of Zfp462 in ESC self-renewal and differentiation but also proposes Zfp462 as a novel player in the pluripotency gene regulatory network (PGRN).

Investigation of the role of histone modification propagating activity of GLP

Project description:We use ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to profile the H3K9me2 modification and transcription under different conditions of GLP activity. GLP and G9a are major H3K9 dimethylases, and are essential for mouse early embryonic development. Here we report that GLP and G9a possess intrinsic histone methylation propagating activities. The histone methyltransferase activities of GLP and G9a are stimulated by neighboring nucleosomes pre-methylated at H3K9. These stimulation events function in cis and are dependent on H3K9 methylation binding activities of ankyrin repeats domains in GLP and G9a. In mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) harboring a mutant GLP lacking H3K9 methylation propagating activity, pluripotent genes display a delayed kinetics in establishing H3K9 methylation and gene silencing during differentiation. Disruption of the H3K9 methylation propagating activity of GLP in mice causes growth retardation of the embryos, ossification defects of calvaria and early postnatal lethality. We propose that GLP¡¯s ability to rapidly propagate H3K9 methylation is required for efficient gene silencing during programmed cell fate transition. H3K9me2 and H3K9me1 are ChIPped and sequenced in WT mESC and GLP-mutant mESCs, and RNA-Seq was done for those cells as well.
