Chip-exo and Chip-seq of human KRAB-ZNFs transduced in HEK 293T cells

ABSTRACT: Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are one of the largest groups of transcription factors encoded by tetrapods, with 378 members in human alone. KZFP genes are often grouped in clusters reflecting amplification by gene and segment duplication since the gene family first emerged more than 400 million years ago. Previous work has revealed that many KZFPs recognize transposable element (TE)-embedded sequences as genomic targets, and that KZFPs facilitate the co-option of the regulatory potential of TEs for the benefit of the host. Here, we present a comprehensive survey of the genetic features and genomic targets of human KZFPs, notably completing past analyses by adding data on more than a hundred family members. General principles emerge from our study of the TE-KZFP regulatory system, which point to multipronged evolutionary mechanisms underlaid by highly complex and combinatorial modes of action with strong influences on human speciation.

ChIP-exo and ChIP-seq of human KRAB-ZNFs transduced in HEK 293T cells

Project description:Kruppel-associated box (KRAB)-containing zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs) represent the largest family of transcription factors encoded by higher vertebrates. Together with their heterochromatin-inducing cofactor KAP1, many act as repressors of endogenous retroelements (EREs) during early embryonic genome reprogramming, yet their widespread expression in adult tissues and enrichment at other genetic loci indicate additional roles. By characterizing the protein interactome of 101 of the ~350 human KZFPs, we uncovered that it is highly diversified for a subset of those. Most of placental mammal- or primate-restricted KZFPs, which primarily bind EREs and constitute 90% of human KZFPs, essentially recruit KAP1 and effectors. However, certain KZFPs conserved in placental mammals and more distant clades associated with factors related to functions such as genome architecture or RNA processing. Additionally, members of the most conserved human KZFPs did not appear to interact with KAP1. Nevertheless, KZFPs from coelacanth, our most distant KZFP-encoding relative, bind KAP1 from this species. We thus propose that KZFPs first emerged as ERE-controlling repressors, had their pool continuously renewed by turn-over of their hosts’ ERE loads, thereby yielded largely species-specific sets of transcriptional controllers, yet occasionally produced derivatives that escaped this evolutionary flushing by development of novel functions and exaptation.

Identification of potential target genes of KRAB zinc-finger proteins in cancer cells

Project description:KRAB zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs) are potent transcriptional suppressors and suspected to be associated with cancer progression. To identify the potential target genes of KZFPs in lung adenocarcinoma cells, we established a panel of A459 cell lines that over-express 30 types of KZFPs (A549/KZFP cells) and performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis of these cells.

KRAB Zincfinger Interactome - The interactome of KRAB zinc finger proteins reveals the evolutionary history of their functional diversification

Project description:Krüppel-associated box (KRAB)-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) represent the largest family of human transcription factors. The majority of its members bind to Transposable Elements (TEs), which they repress through the recruitment of the repressor KAP1 to their conserved KRAB domain. In addition to this recognized role, some KZFPs seem to favor different types of loci such as transcription start sites or display diverse functions such as imprinting and gene regulation. Intriguingly, a subset of KZFPs was shown not to recruit the corepressor KAP1. Therefore, we sought to get a better picture of KZFPs putative roles and their association with KAP1. In order to do so, we generated the interactomes of 101 KZFPs through Affinity Purification followed by Mass Spectrometry (AP-MS).

Hominid-specific transposable elements and KRAB-ZFPs facilitate human embryonic genome activation and transcription in naïve hESCs [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are key to the evolutionary turnover of regulatory sequences. How they can play such an essential role in spite of their genotoxic potential is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that KRABcontaining zinc finger proteins control the timely and pleiotropic engagement of TE-derived cis-regulators of transcription. We first observed that evolutionary recent TEs of the SVA, HERVK and HERVH subgroups are major contributors to chromatin opening during human embryonic genome activation and act as KLF-stimulated enhancers in naïve embryonic stem cells. We then found that KZFPs of corresponding evolutionary ages are simultaneously induced and repress the transcriptional activity of these TEs. We finally determined that the same KZFP-controlled TE-based enhancers later serve as developmental and tissue-specific regulators of gene expression. Thus, by taming the transcriptional impact of TEs during early embryogenesis, KZFPs allow for their genome-wide incorporation into transcriptional networks, thereby contributing to the species-specificity of human genome regulation.

ChIP-exo of human KRAB-ZNFs transduced in HEK 293T cells and KAP1 in hES H1 cells

Project description:Encoded in the hundreds by the human genome, KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) constitute a rapidly evolving family of transcription factors with largely undefined functions. Here, by a combination of phylogenetic and genomic approaches, we retrace the evolutionary history of KRAB-ZFP genes and define the genomic targets of their human products. Through in silico analysis of 207 vertebrate genomes and chromatin immunoprecipitation / deep sequencing characterization of 257 human KRAB-ZFPs, we identify the root of the family in an early Devonian ancestor of tetrapods, describe its diversity amongst these species, and reveal that the majority of its human members primarily recognize transposable elements. Furthermore, by dissecting the timeline and modalities of interactions between human KRAB-ZFPs and their targets, we provide evidence strongly suggesting that these proteins, rather than just engaged in an evolutionary arms race against transposable elements, exploit these invaders as regulatory platforms for the benefit of the host.

KRAB zinc finger proteins ZNF587/ZNF417 protect lymphoma cells from replicative stress-induced inflammation [RNA_72h]

Project description:Heterochromatin loss and genetic instability enhance cancer progression by favoring clonal diversity, yet uncontrolled replicative stress leads to mitotic catastrophe and inflammatory responses promoting immune rejection. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) contribute to heterochromatin maintenance at transposable elements (TEs). Here, we describe how upregulation of a cluster of primate-specific KZFPs is associated with poor prognosis, increased copy number alterations, and suppression of immune responses in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Depleting two of these KZFPs targeting evolutionarily recent TEs, ZNF587 and ZNF417, impairs proliferation of cells derived from DLBCL and several other tumor types. This correlates with heterochromatin redistribution, replicative stress, and cGAS-STING-mediated induction of an interferon/inflammatory response leading to enhanced susceptibility to macrophage-mediated phagocytosis, increased surface expression of HLA-I and presentation of a neo-immunopeptidome. Thus, cancer cells can subvert KZFPs to dampen TE-originating surveillance mechanisms, which likely facilitates clonal expansion, diversification, and immune evasion.
