Project description:BAP1 is recurrently mutated or deleted in a large number of diverse cancer types, including mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma. BAP1 is the catalytic subunit of the Polycomb Repressive De-Ubiquitination complex (PR-DUB) which removes PRC1 mediated H2AK119ub1. We and others have shown that H2AK119ub1 is essential for maintaining transcriptional repression and contributes to PRC2 chromatin recruitment. However, the precise relationship between BAP1 and PRC1 remains mechanistically elusive. Using embryonic stem cells, we show that a major function of BAP1 is to restrict H2AK119ub1 deposition to target sites. This increases the stability of PcG complexes with their targets and prevents diffuse accumulation of H2AK119ub1 and H3K27me3 modifications. Loss of BAP1 results in a broad increase in H2AK119ub1 levels that are primarily dependent on PCGF3/5-PRC1 complexes with a mechanism that is reminiscent of X-chromosome inactivation. Increased genome-wide H2AK119ub1 levels titrates away PRC2 from its targets and stimulates diffuse H3K27me3 accumulation across the genome. This decreases the activity of PcG repressive machineries at physiological targets and induces a general compaction of the entire chromatin. Our findings provide evidences for a unifying model that resolves the apparent contradiction between BAP1 catalytic activity and its role in vivo, uncovering molecular vulnerabilities that could be useful for BAP1-related pathologies.

Project description:Histone-modifying systems play fundamental roles in gene regulation and the development of multicellular organisms. Histone modifications that are enriched at gene regulatory elements have been heavily studied, but the function of modifications found more broadly throughout the genome remains poorly understood. This is exemplified by histone H2A monoubiquitylation (H2AK119ub1), which is enriched at Polycomb-repressed gene promoters but also covers the genome at lower levels. Here, using inducible genetic perturbations and quantitative genomics, we found that the BAP1 deubiquitylase plays an essential role in constraining H2AK119ub1 throughout the genome. Removal of BAP1 leads to pervasive genome-wide accumulation of H2AK119ub1, which causes widespread reductions in gene expression. We show that elevated H2AK119ub1 preferentially counteracts Ser5 phosphorylation on the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II at gene regulatory elements and causes reductions in transcription and transcription-associated histone modifications. Furthermore, failure to constrain pervasive H2AK119ub1 compromises Polycomb complex occupancy at a subset of Polycomb target genes, which leads to their derepression, providing a potential molecular rationale for why the BAP1 ortholog in Drosophila has been characterized as a Polycomb group gene. Together, these observations reveal that the transcriptional potential of the genome can be modulated by regulating the levels of a pervasive histone modification.

Project description:Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) has been implicated in multiple cellular and developmental pathways. However, its molecular network remains poorly defined. We combined quantitative proteomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics to define the core USP7 regulome. We found that USP7 forms a regulatory hub, linking processes involved in the packaging, maintenance and expression of the genome. Further analysis revealed that USP7 regulates non-canonical Polycomb repressive complexes 1 (ncPRC1s) but affects neither canonical PRC1s nor PRC2s. By stabilizing key subunits of PRC1.6 and to a lesser extend PRC1.1, USP7 acts as a rheostat that modulates the global level of H2AK119ub11. Unexpectedly, changes in the genomic deposition of H2AK119ub11 are uncoupled from H3K27me3, challenging prevalent models for Polycomb repression. Indeed, a complete loss of PRC1 and H2AK119ub1 has only a highly restricted effect on H3K27me3. Besides defining the organizational principles of the USP7 regulome, our results reveal selective control of H2AK119ub1 dosage that is disconnected from H3K27me3.

Project description:Parental epigenomes are established during gametogenesis. While they are largely reset soon after fertilization in mammals, maternal histone H3 tri-methylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is inherited by the next generation embryos. How H3K27me3 is properly established in oocytes and passed on to the embryos remains elusive. Furthermore, although polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated H3K27me3 is known to interplay with PRC1-mediated mono-ubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119ub1) to coordinate repressive polycomb domains in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), how they act in vivo remains unknown. To address these questions, here we profiled H2AK119ub1 dynamics during mouse oogenesis and preimplantation development, and investigated its functions in maternal inheritance of H3K27me3. Integrative analyses with H3K27me3 dynamics revealed that an unusually broad and distal-rich distribution of H2AK119ub1 is established during oogenesis and co-transmitted to embryos together with H3K27me3. On the other hand, an ESC-like canonical distribution of H2AK119ub1 is newly established at the 2-cell stage, a few days earlier than that of H3K27me3. Deficiency in polycomb group ring finger 1 (PCGF1) and PCGF6, essential components of variant PRC1 (vPRC1), leads to massive reduction of H2AK119ub1 and gene-selective loss of H3K27me3 in oocytes. The gene-selective deficient state of H3K27me3 is irreversibly inherited by embryos, which causes bi-allelic expression of H3K27me3-dependent imprinted genes, including Xist, embryonic sublethality, and placental enlargement at term. Collectively, our study not only revealed instructive in vivo dynamics of H2AK119ub1 for H3K27me3 establishment at the maternal-to-embryonic transition, but also identified PCGF1/6-PRC1 as an essential player for intergenerational epigenetic inheritance.
