PR-DUB preserves Polycomb repression by preventing excessive accumulation of H2Aub1, an antagonist of nucleosome stacking (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The Polycomb repression machinery in Drosophila comprises PRC1 that monoubiquitinates histone H2A at lysine 118 (H2Aub1) and PR-DUB, a major H2Aub1 deubiquitinase, but how H2Aub1 levels must be balanced for Polycomb repression remains enigmatic. We show that H2Aub1 is enriched at Polycomb target genes in early embryos but depleted from these genes during developmental stages when PRC1 represses their transcription. Accordingly, Polycomb targets remain repressed in H2Aub1-deficient animals. In PR-DUB catalytic mutants, high-level H2Aub1 accumulation at Polycomb targets increases chromatin accessibility, consistent with disruption of chromatin fiber folding by H2Aub1 in vitro. Consequently, PR-DUB mutants show defective Polycomb repression, while general transcription is largely unperturbed by the genome-wide, low-level H2Aub1 increase. Changes in H2Aub1 levels alter H3K27 methylation-kinetics but PRC2 nevertheless generates canonical H3K27me3 domains in PRC1 or PR-DUB catalytic mutants. PR-DUB therefore acts as a rheostat that removes excessive H2Aub1 that, though deposited by PRC1, antagonizes PRC1-mediated chromatin compaction.

PR-DUB preserves Polycomb repression by preventing excessive accumulation of H2Aub1, an antagonist of nucleosome stacking (ChIP-Seq)

Removal of H2Aub1 by ubiquitin-specific proteases 12 and 13 is required for stable Polycomb-mediated gene repression in Arabidopsis

Project description:Background: Stable gene repression is essential for normal growth and development. Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 & PRC2) are involved in this process by establishing monoubiquitinated histone 2A (H2Aub1) and subsequent trimethylation of lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3). Previous work proposed that H2Aub1 removal by the ubiquitin-specific proteases 12 and 13 (UBP12 & UBP13) is part of the repressive PRC1&2 system, but its functional role remains elusive. Results: We show that UBP12 and UBP13 work together with PRC1, PRC2, and EMF1 to repress genes involved in stimulus response. We found that H2Aub1 is associated with responsiveness, and that it’s only indirectly repressive via PRC2 recruitment. Our analyses also revealed that PR2 targets that do not require PRC1 are pre-repressed. Lastly, we have found that removal of H2Aub1 by UBP12/13 prevents loss of H3K27me3, consistent with our finding that the H3K27me3 demethylase REF6 is enriched at H2Aub1 marked genes. Conclusions: Our data allow us to propose a model in which deposition of H2Aub1 permits recruitment of PRC2 and provides a state that allows for a rapid switch between gene activation and repression. Removal of H2Aub1 by UBP12/13 is required to achieve stable repression.

PR-DUB safeguards Polycomb repression through restricting H2AK119ub1 [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are critical chromatin regulators for cell fate control. The mono-ubiquitylation on histone H2AK119 (H2AK119ub1) is one of the well-recognized mechanisms for Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1)-mediated transcription repression. However, the specific H2AK119 deubiquitylation complex composed by ASX-like proteins (ASXLs) and BAP1 has also been genetically characterized as a Polycomb Repressive complex (PR-DUB). Here we try to provide a rationale for these counterintuitive findings. Through re-examining the genomic distribution of H2AK119ub1, we find that H2AK119ub1 is non-negligibly distributed at non-promoter regions and associated with PRC1 sampling. Upon deletion of Asxl2 in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), H2AK119ub1 is pervasively gained, especially at non-promoter regions, which is associated with increased RING1B occupancy. Meanwhile RING1B is significantly lost from a subset of the target promoters and thereby results in minor derepression in Asxl2-null ESCs. However notably, Asxl2 loss causes aberrant lineage differetiation, similar to PcG mutants. Therefore, our data reconcile seemingly paradoxical roles of PR-DUB on transcription repression and highlight the importance of a balanced H2AK119ub1 dynamics in developmental regulation.
