TONSOKU is required for the maintenance of repressive epigenetic modifications in Arabidopsis [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic inheritance requires the faithful maintenance of epigenetic marks such as certain chromatin modifications through DNA replication. Plant TONSOKU (TSK) and its animal orthologue TONSOKU-like (TONSL) act as readers for newly synthesized histones and assist in DNA replication via facilitating DNA damage repair at post-replicative chromatin. However, whether TSK/TONSL regulates chromatin replication and the maintenance of chromatin modifications remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that TSK is dispensable for global histone and nucleosome accumulation but necessary for maintaining repressive chromatin modifications including H3K9me2, H2A.W, H3K27me3 and DNA methylation. TSK physically interacts with H3K9 methyltransferases SUVH5 and SUVH6, and the Polycomb protein RING1a/b. Moreover, TSK mutation strongly enhances defects in Polycomb pathway mutants. TSK is intended to only associate with nascent chromatin until it starts to mature. We propose that TSK ensures proper epigenetic inheritance by supporting the recruitment of epigenetic modifiers to post-replicative chromatin in a critical short window of time following DNA replication.

TONSOKU reads the histone H3.1 variant to mediate DNA repair during replication

Project description:The histone H3.1 variant is specifically inserted on chromatin during DNA replication in eukaryotes. A single amino acid variation (position 31) in the N-terminal tail of H3.1 compared to replication-independent H3.3 is conserved in plants and animals, but no function has been assigned to amino acid 31 to justify a role for H3.1 during replication. In this study, we demonstrate that the protein TONSOKU (TSK/TONSL), which participates in rescuing broken replication forks, specifically interacts with H3.1 via recognition of alanine 31 by its tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain. We show that genomic amplification in the absence of H3K27me1 in plants depends on H3.1, TSK and DNA polymerase theta (Pol θ). Overall, our study reveals similar strategies in plants and animals for regulating TSK activity and post-replicative chromatin maturation, with both clades using the H3.1 variant and different histone mono-methyltransferases (ATXR5/ATXR6 or SET8) to achieve this.

Quantification of histone H3 and H4 modifications by mass spectrometry in wildtype and MCM2-2A mutants of mice ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication modified parental histones H3-H4 are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histone PTMs. Whether heritable histone modifications confer epigenetic regulation by maintaining chromatin states and gene expression is unclear. Using MCM2 histone-binding mutant embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mass spectrometry, we show that asymmetric segregation of parental histones to the leading strand causes imbalanced inheritance of histone H3K27 methylations to daughter cells.

Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric control of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.

Coordination of histone chaperones for parental histone segregation and epigenetic inheritance

Project description:Chromatin-based epigenetic memory relies on the accurate distribution of parental histone tetramers to newly replicated DNA strands, serving as templates for chromatin structure duplication. Mcm2, a subunit of the replicative helicase, and the Dpb3/4, subunits of polymerase epsilon, govern parental histone deposition to the lagging and leading strands, respectively. However, their contribution to epigenetic inheritance remains controversial. Here we show in fission yeast that a Mcm2 histone chaperone mutation severely disrupts heterochromatin inheritance, while Dpb3/4 mutations cause only moderate defects. Surprisingly, simultaneous Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 mutations stabilizes heterochromatin inheritance. eSPAN analyses confirm the conservation of Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 functions in parental histone segregation, with their collective absence reducing segregation bias. Furthermore, the FACT histone chaperone also regulates parental histone transfer independently of strands and collaborates with Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 to maintain parental histone density, ensuring faithful heterochromatin inheritance. These results underscore the importance of precise parental histone segregation to the lagging strand for epigenetic inheritance and unveil unique properties of parental histone chaperones during DNA replication.

The Mcm2-Ctf4-Pola axis facilitates parental histone transfer to lagging strands

Project description:Although essential for epigenetic inheritance, the transfer of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers that contain epigenetic modifications to replicating DNA strands is poorly understood. Here, we show that the Mcm2-Ctf4-Pol axis facilitates the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers to lagging strands of DNA replication forks. Mutating the H3-H4 binding domain of Mcm2, a subunit of the CMG (Cdc45-MCM-GINS) replicative helicase that translocates along leading strands, impairs the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 to lagging strands. Similar effects are observed in Ctf4 and Pol-primase mutants that disrupt the connection of the CMG helicase via Ctf4-Pol to lagging strands. Our results support a model whereby parental (H3-H4)2 displaced from nucleosomes through leading-strand DNA replication are transferred to lagging strands for nucleosome assembly via the CMG-Ctf4-Pol complex.

The chromatin modifiers SET-25 and SET-32 are required for initiation but not long-term maintenance of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Project description:Some epigenetic modifications are inherited from one generation to the next, providing a potential mechanism for the inheritance of environmentally acquired traits. Transgenerational inheritance of RNA interference phenotypes in C. elegans provides an excellent model to study this phenomenon, and whilst studies have implicated both chromatin modifications and small RNA pathways in heritable silencing their relative contributions remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that the histone methyltransferases SET-25 and SET-32 are required for the establishment of a transgenerational silencing signal, but not for long-term maintenance of this signal between subsequent generations suggesting that transgenerational epigenetic inheritance is a multi-step process, with distinct genetic requirements for establishment and maintenance of heritable silencing. Furthermore, small RNA sequencing reveals that the abundance of secondary siRNA (thought to be the effector molecules of heritable silencing) does not correlate with silencing phenotypes. Together, our results suggest that the current mechanistic models of epigenetic inheritance are incomplete.
