ABSTRACT: In this study, we characterize translocations that are frequent in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We find that the fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.

Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells.

Project description:The human NuA4/TIP60 co-activator complex, a fusion of the yeast SWR1 and NuA4 complexes, both incorporates the histone variant H2A.Z into nucleosomes and acetylates histones H4/H2A/H2A.Z to play crucial roles regulating gene expression and maintaining genome stability. Our cryo-EM studies show that within the NuA4/TIP60 complex, the EP400 subunit serves as an architectural scaffold holding the different functional modules in specific positions and giving rise to a novel arrangement of the ARP module. EP400 interacts with the TRRAP subunit using a footprint that overlaps with that of the SAGA acetyltransferase complex, thereby preventing the formation of a hybrid complex. Loss of the TRRAP subunit leads to mislocalization of NuA4/TIP60, resulting in the redistribution of H2A.Z and its acetylation across the genome, emphasizing the dual functionality of NuA4/TIP60 as a single macromolecular assembly.

Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the ZMYND11-MBTD1 translocation in acute myeloid leukemia. We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles ZMYND11 factor with the full acetyltransferase NuA4/TIP60 complex. The fusion protein leads to mislocalization NuA4/TIP60 complex in gene bodies, thereby increasing H4ac in specific gene targets. Finally, chromatin aberration is linked to aberrant gene expression and spliced isoforms.
