A monoclonal antibody raised against human EZH2 cross-reacts with the RNA-binding protein SAFB [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a conserved enzyme that tri-methylates Lysine 27 on Histone 3 (H3K27me3) to promote gene silencing. PRC2 is remarkably responsive to the expression of certain long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). In the most notable example, PRC2 is recruited to the X-chromosome shortly after expression of the lncRNA Xist begins during X-chromosome inactivation. However, the mechanisms by which lncRNAs recruit PRC2 to chromatin are not yet clear. We report that a broadly used rabbit monoclonal antibody raised against human EZH2, a catalytic subunit of PRC2, cross-reacts with an RNA-binding protein called Scaffold Attachment Factor B (SAFB) in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) under buffer conditions that are commonly used for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Knockout of EZH2 in ESCs demonstrated that the antibody is specific for EZH2 by western blot (no cross-reactivity). Likewise, comparison to previously published datasets confirmed that the antibody recovers PRC2-bound sites by ChIP-Seq. However, RNA-IP from formaldehyde-crosslinked ESCs using ChIP wash conditions recovers distinct peaks of RNA association that co-localize with peaks of SAFB and whose enrichment disappears upon knockout of SAFB but not EZH2. IP and mass spectrometry-based proteomics in wild-type and EZH2 knockout ESCs confirm that the EZH2 antibody recovers SAFB in an EZH2-independent manner. Our data highlight the importance of orthogonal assays when studying interactions between chromatin-modifying enzymes and RNA.

A monoclonal antibody raised against human EZH2 cross-reacts with the RNA-binding protein SAFB [RIP-seq]

Identification of SAFB and HnrnpU interactors

Project description:Scaffold Attachment Factor B (SAFB) is a conserved RNA Binding Protein (RBP) that is essential for early mammalian development. However, the RNAs that associate with SAFB in mouse embryonic stem cells have not been characterized. Here, we addressed this unknown using RNA-seq and SAFB RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-seq (RIP-seq) in wild-type mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and in ESCs in which SAFB and SAFB2 were knocked out. The transcript most enriched in SAFB association was the lncRNA Malat1, which contains a series of purine-rich motifs in its 5 end. Beyond Malat1, SAFB predominantly associated with introns of protein-coding genes also through purine-rich motifs. Knockout of SAFB/2 led to down- and upregulation of genes in multiple biological pathways. The nascent transcripts of many downregulated genes associated with high levels of SAFB in wild-type cells, implying that SAFB binding promotes the expression of these genes. Reintroduction of SAFB into double-knockout cells restored gene expression towards wild-type levels, an effect that was again observable at the level of nascent transcripts. Proteomic analyses indicate an enrichment of nuclear speckle-associated, SR proteins in FLAG-tagged SAFB immunoprecipitated samples. Comparison to immunoprecipitates made from FLAG-tagging of another nuclear-enriched RNA-binding protein called HNRNPU (also known as SAF-A) identified both similarities and differences. Perhaps most notably, we observed a stronger enrichment for speckle-associated proteins in SAFB immunoprecipitations and a strong enrichment for paraspeckle-associated proteins in HNRNPU immunoprecipitations. Our findings suggest that among other potential functions in mouse embryonic stem cells, SAFB directly promotes the expression of a subset of genes through its ability to bind purine regions in nascent RNA.

EZH1 and H3K27me3 ChIP-chip data from mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Trimethylation on H3K27 (H3K27me3) mediated by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been linked to embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity and pluripotency. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, has been reported as the sole histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K27 and mediates transcriptional silencing. Analysis of Ezh2(-/-) ESCs suggests existence of an additional enzyme(s) catalyzing H3K27 methylation. We have identified EZH1, a homolog of EZH2 that is physically present in a noncanonical PRC2 complex, as an H3K27 methyltransferase in vivo and in vitro. EZH1 colocalizes with the H3K27me3 mark on chromatin and preferentially preserves this mark on development-related genes in Ezh2(-/-) ESCs. Depletion of Ezh1 in cells lacking Ezh2 abolishes residual methylation on H3K27 and derepresses H3K27me3 target genes, demonstrating a role of EZH1 in safeguarding ESC identity. Ezh1 partially complements Ezh2 in executing pluripotency during ESC differentiation, suggesting that cell-fate transitions require epigenetic specificity.

Gemone-wide maps of PRC2 complex components and chromatin states in prostate cancer cell lines

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of PRC2 core subunits chromatin states and histone modifications in two prostate cancer cell lines, androgen-dependent cells LNCaP and androgen-independent cells LNCaP-abl (abl). By obtaining over 1 billion bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated the genome-wide localizations of EZH2, SUZ12 and H3K27 trimethylation in both cell lines, and found that EZH2 can be localized to a subsets of chromating sites that don't have H3K27me3 or SUZ12 signals nearby. Interestingly, these sites are enriched for the active histone marks H3K4 di/trimethylation as well as the RNA polymerase II, which suggest the potential function of these peaks in gene activation. Indeed, these sites are enriched near the transcription start sites of EZH2-activated genes. Further analysis of the transcription factor motifs enriched at these peaks revealed the enrichement of androgen receptor motif, suggesting a co-activator role for EZH2 in concert with AR. Our work demonstrated a novel funtion of EZH2 in transcriptional activation by directly binding to the chromatin sites that cooperate with AR.

SUZ12 immunoprecipitation followed by protein indentification via mass spectrometry (SUZ12 IP-MS) in mESCs of SUZ12 WT, delta exon 4, KO, and KO rescues with SUZ12-L and SUZ12-S

Project description:Suz12 exon 4 encodes 23 amino acids (aa 129–152 in SUZ12-L) that partially overlap with the WD-binding domain 1 (WDB1, 110–145). We reasoned that exon 4 skipping might alter the structure of SUZ12 and, possibly, PRC2 composition. To explore this possibility, we generated ESCs that lack the Suz12 exon 4 via CRISPR-Cas9–induced deletion. In addition, to rule out any biases due to the expression levels and/or SUZ12 epitope masking, we generated Suz12 knockout (KO) ESCs (herein, KO) in which Suz12 expression was subsequently rescued by re-introducing either the Suz12-L or Suz12-S mouse isoform fused to a triple-Flag tag under the regulation of a CAG promoter (KO+L/S; Figures S2H–S2K). We performed SUZ12 immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (IP-MS) in the WT and ∆ex4 clones to compare their interactomes and with a flag antibody in the KO and rescue cell lines. As expected, no peptides corresponding to exon 4 were retrieved in ∆ex4 samples, while the rest of the sequence displayed similar coverage. Comparison of interactors in the two conditions revealed that SUZ12 binding to AEBP2 and JARID2 was strongly reduced in ∆ex4 cells with respect to WT cells, whereas SUZ12 binding to most core components or to PRC2.1-specific factors was unchanged or only slightly increased . These observations were confirmed by SUZ12 IP followed by Western blot (WB). Flag IP-MS in rescue cells confirmed that, while the long isoform was able to correctly form comparable amounts of both PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 subtypes, interaction of the SUZ12-S with PRC2.2-specific factors was drastically reduced.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in wild-type and SetDB1 induced knockout mESCs

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in mammalian cells and characterized genome-wide SetDB1 binding and H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) profiles in mouse ES cells and uncovered two distinct classes of SetDB1 binding sites, termed solo and ensemble peaks. The solo peaks were devoid of H3K9me3 and enriched near developmental regulators while the ensemble peaks were associated with H3K9me3. A subset of the SetDB1 solo peaks, particularly those near neural development related genes, was found to be associated with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) as well as PRC2-interacting proteins Jarid2 and Mtf2. Genetic deletion of Setdb1 dramatically reduced Ezh2 binding as well as histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation level at SetDB1 solo peaks and facilitated neural differentiation. Furthermore, we found that H3K27me3 inhibits SetDB1 methyltransferase activity in vitro. The currently identified reciprocal action between SetDB1 and PRC2 reveals a novel mechanism underlying ES cell pluripotency and differentiation regulation. Examination of 2 different histone modifications in 2 cell status.
