Histone H3 proline 16 hydroxylation regulates mammalian gene expression [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are important for regulating various DNA-templated processes. Emerging evidence suggests a critical involvement of the previously less-explored histone PTMs in gene activity regulation. Here, we report the existence of a new histone PTM in the mammalian cells, hydroxylation of H3 proline 16 (H3P16-OH) catalyzed by EglN2, a proline hydroxylase. We show that EglN2-mediated H3P16-OH enhances direct binding of Lysine-Specific Demethylase 5A (KDM5A) with its substrate, H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), resulting in enhanced chromatin recruitment of KDM5A and decrease of H3K4me3 at target genes. Genome-wide mapping by CUT&RUN in multiple mammalian cell models reveals a functional connection between EglN2, H3P16-OH, KDM5A and H3K4me3. Integrated analysis with RNA-Seq also identifies distinct subsets of genes that are regulated through H3P16-OH in different cell lines. This study therefore demonstrates a new player of the “histone code” by revealing a role of H3P16-OH in regulating gene expression in mammalian cells.

Project description:Both genetic and environmental factors are implicated in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Since environmental factors can trigger epigenetic changes, we hypothesized that variations in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) at the promoter/enhancer regions of T1D susceptible genes may be associated with T1D. We therefore evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the chromatin-immunoprecipitation-linked-to-microarray approach to profile key histone PTMs, including H3-lysine-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes, and H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac at the IDDM1 region in monocytes of T1D patients and healthy controls separately. We screened for potential variations in histone PTMs using computational methods to compare datasets from T1D and controls. Interestingly, we observed marked variations in H3K9Ac levels at the upstream regions of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 within the IDDM1 locus in T1D monocytes relative to controls. Additional experiments with THP-1 monocytes demonstrated increased expression of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 in response to interferon- and TNF-treatment that were accompanied by changes in H3K9Ac at the same promoter regions as that seen in the patient monocytes. These results suggest that the H3K9Ac status of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1, two genes highly associated with T1D, may be relevant to their regulation and transcriptional response towards external stimuli. Thus, the promoter/enhancer architecture and chromatin status of key susceptible loci could be important determinants in their functional association to T1D susceptibility. We evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the ChIP-chip approach to profile key histone PTMs, including histone H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac, at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes.
