Distinct roles for canonical and variant histone H3 lysine 36 in polycomb silencing

ABSTRACT: Polycomb complexes regulate cell-type specific gene expression programs through heritable silencing of target genes. Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is essential for this process. Perturbation of H3K36 is thought to interfere with H3K27me3. We show that mutants of Drosophila replication-dependent (H3.2K36R) or -independent (H3.3K36R) histone H3 genes generally maintain Polycomb silencing and reach later stages of development. In contrast, combined (H3.3K36RH3.2K36R) mutants display widespread Hox gene misexpression and fail to develop past the first larval instar. Chromatin profiling showed that the H3.2K36R mutation disrupts H3K27me3 levels broadly and significantly throughout silenced domains, whereas these regions are mostly unaffected in H3.3K36R animals. Analysis of H3.3 distributions showed that this histone is enriched at presumptive PREs (Polycomb Response Elements) located outside of silenced domains but relatively depleted from those inside. We conclude that H3.2 and H3.3 K36 residues collaborate to repress Hox genes via distinct genomic subcompartments and mechanisms.

Hira-dependent histone H3.3 deposition facilitates PRC2 recruitment at developmental loci in ES cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) regulates gene expression during lineage specification through trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3). In Drosophila, polycomb binding sites are dynamic chromatin regions coupled to incorporation of the histone variant H3.3. Here we show in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that H3.3 is required for proper establishment of H3K27me3 at the promoters of developmentally regulated genes. These promoters show reduced dynamics as determined by deposition of de novo synthesized histones, associated with reduced PRC2 occupancy. H3.3-depleted ESCs show upregulation of extraembryonic trophectoderm, as well as misregulation of other developmental genes upon differentiation. Our data demonstrate the importance of H3.3 incorporation in ESCs and suggest that changes in chromatin dynamics in its absence lead to misregulation of gene expression during differentiation. Moreover, our findings lend support to the emerging notion that H3.3 has multiple functions in distinct genomic locations that are not always correlated with an “active” chromatin state.

PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 synergize to co-ordinate H3K27 tri-methylation.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is composed of EED, SUZ12, and EZH1/2 and mediates mono-, di- and tri-methylation of Histone H3 at Lysine 27. While at least two subcomplexes exist, defined by their specific accessory proteins, termed PRC2.1 (Polycomb-like proteins 1-3, EPOP and PALI1/2) and PRC2.2 (AEBP2 and JARID2), little is known about their differential functions. Here, we show that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 share the majority of target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The loss of all three Polycomb-like proteins is sufficient to destabilise and evict PRC2.1 from chromatin, but also leads to reduced PRC2.2 and H3K27me3 at most Polycomb domains. However, the combined loss of PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 is necessary to completely remove H3K27me3 at broad Polycomb domains such as the Hox loci. Our data support a model in which the specific accessory proteins within PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 co-operate to direct and maintain H3K27me3, via both synergistic and independent mechanisms.

Histone H3.3 G34 mutations alter histone H3K36 and H3K27 methylation in cis

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of numerous patient samples has identified a myriad of frequent mutations of epigenetic regulators in human cancers, including recently discovered mutations in histone-encoding genes. Lysine-to-methionine mutations such as H3K27M and H3K36M share a common mechanism of inhibiting methylation pathways at the genome-wide level to promote tumorigenesis. However, the mechanism underlying the molecular and cellular changes due to H3G34 alterations is yet to be determined. H3G34 itself is not post-translationally modified; however, G34 lies in close proximity to K36, which undergoes methylation during transcriptional elongation. In Hela cells, H3.3G34L/W mutations have no effect on global levels of methylation on H3K36, H3K27, or other major methylation sites on endogenous histone H3, which include both H3.3 and the canonical H3.1/H3.2 proteins. However, long exposures of the blots revealed that methylation on the ectopic Flag-H3.3 proteins are affected by G34 mutations: with di- and trimethylation on H3K36 and H3K27ac reduced whereas H3K27me3 increased in the G34L and G34W mutated H3.3 compared to the WT H3.3. ChIP-seq results showed that mutations of H3.3G34 affect methylation on H3K36 and H3K27 in cis. G34L/W mutants abolish SETD2 methylation of H3K36. In contrast, the enzymatic activities of both EZH2 and p300 on H3K27 are not affected by G34 mutations. Consistent with changes in H3K27me3 and H3K36m3 levels, we found increased binding of PRC2 (EZH2, SUZ12 and EED) and PRC1 complex components (CBX8 and RING2) and reduced binding of H3.3K36me3 reader such as ZMYND11 to the G34 mutants. In summary, our study revealed that histone H3.3 G34 mutations alter histone K36 and K27 methylation in cis, and affect the binding of readers specific to K36 or K27 methylation.

Principles of nucleation of H3K27 methylation during embryonic development

Project description:During embryonic development, maintenance of cell identity and lineage commitment requires the Polycomb-group PRC2 complex, which catalyzes histone H3 K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). However, the developmental origins of this regulation are unknown. Here, we report on H3K27me3 deposition dynamics in Xenopus embryos, on sequence elements that initiate deposition during pluripotency, and the sequence characteristics that segregate Polycomb-regulated domains from the rest of the genome. Strikingly, although PRC2 binds widely to active enhancers, H3K27me3 is only deposited at a small subset of these sites. Using a Support Vector Machine algorithm these sequences can be predicted accurately on basis of DNA sequence alone, with a sequence signature conserved between humans, frog and fish. The results suggest a genetic-default model in which genomic sequence constrains Polycomb regulation.

4C-seq: Clustering of mammalian Hox genes with other H3K27me3 targets within an active nuclear domain

Project description:Embryogenesis requires the precise activation and repression of many transcriptional regulators. The Polycomb group proteins and the associated H3K27me3 histone mark are essential to maintain the inactive state of many of these genes. Mammalian Hox genes are targets of Polycomb proteins and form local 3D clusters centered on the H3K27me3 mark. More distal contacts have also been described, yet their selectivity, dynamics and relation to other layers of chromatin organization remained elusive. We report that repressed Hox genes form mutual intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions with other genes located in strong domains labeled by H3K27me3. These interactions occur in a central and active nuclear environment that consists of the HiC compartment A, away from peripheral Lamina Associated Domains. Interactions are independent of nearby H3K27me3-marked loci and determined by chromosomal distance and cell-type specific scaling factors, thus inducing a moderate reorganization during embryogenesis. These results provide a simplified view of nuclear organization whereby Polycomb proteins may have evolved to repress genes located in gene-dense regions whose position is restricted to central, active nuclear environments.
