DNA mimic foldamers affect chromatin composition and disturbs cell cycle progression

ABSTRACT: The use of synthetic chemicals to selectively interfere with chromatin and the chromatin-bound proteome represents a great opportunity for pharmacological intervention. Recently, synthetic foldamers that mimic the charge surface of double-stranded DNA have been shown to interfere with selected protein-DNA interactions. However, to better understand their pharmacological potential and to improve their specificity and selectivity, the effect of these molecules on complex chromatin needs to be investigated. We therefore systematically studied the influence of the DNA mimic foldamers on the chromatin-bound proteome using an in vitro chromatin assembly extract. Our studies show that the foldamer efficiently interferes with the chromatin-association of the origin recognition complex in vitro and in vivo, which leads to a disturbance of cell cycle in cells treated with foldamer. This effect is mediated by a strong direct interaction between the foldamers and the origin recognition complex and results in a failure of the complex to organise chromatin around replication origins. Foldamers that mimic double-stranded nucleic acids thus emerge as a powerful tool with designable features to alter chromatin assembly and selectively interfere with biological mechanisms.

Subcellular fractionation of Drosophila S2 cells upon foldamer treatment

Project description:The use of synthetic chemicals to selectively interfere with chromatin and the chromatin-bound proteome represents a great opportunity for pharmacological intervention. Recently, synthetic foldamers that mimic the charge surface of double-stranded DNA have been shown to interfere with selected protein-DNA interactions. However, to better understand their pharmacological potential and to improve their specificity and selectivity their effect on complex chromatin needs to be investigated. We therefore systematically studied the influence of these DNA-mimicking foldamers on the chromatin-bound bound proteome using an in vitro chromatin assembly extract. Our studies revealed an efficient interference with the chromatin-associated origin recognition complex that plays an important role in initiating eukaryotic chromatin replication. This interference is mediated by a strong direct interaction between the foldamers and the origin recognition complex and has an effect in tissue culture cells where the addition of foldamer led to an S-phase arrest. Foldamers that mimic double-stranded nucleic acids thus emerge as a powerful tool with designable features to alter chromatin assembly and selectively interfere with biological mechanisms.

A role of RPA in replication coupled nucleosome assembly

Project description:Chromatin replication requires tight coordination of nucleosome assembly machinery with DNA replication machinery. While significant progress has been made in characterizing histone chaperones in this process, the mechanism of whereby nucleosome assembly couples with DNA replication remains largely unknown. Here we show that replication protein A (RPA), a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein that is essential for DNA replication provides a binding platform for H3-H4 deposition by histone chaperons and is required for nucleosome formation on nascent chromatin. RPA binds free histone H3-H4 but not nucleosomal histones, and a RPA coated ssDNA stimulates assembly of H3-H4 onto double strand DNA in vitro. RPA mutant with reduced H3-H4 binding exhibits synthetic genetic interaction with mutations at key factors involved in replication-coupled (RC) nucleosome assembly, and are defective in assembly of replicating DNA into nucleosomes in cells. These results reveal a novel function for RPA in nucleosome assembly and a mechanism whereby nucleosome assembly is coordinated with DNA replication.

Proteomics of centromere repeat in distinct chromatin states reveals pathways to heterochromatin nucleation and transmission

Project description:Heritable heterochromatin domain formation is initiated by dynamic changes in the proteome on specialized loci, leading to chromatin modifier recruitment, heterochromatin assembly and propagation. Here we characterize the proteomes associated with a defined heterochromatin nucleation region in three distinct chromatin states: before de novo H3K9 methylation nucleation, following heterochromatin assembly and upon heterochromatin disassembly. Our analyses separate sequence-dependent from sequence-independent processes, providing a systematic examination of the template-driven nucleation and epigenetic wiring underlying heterochromatin transmission. We identify functional interactions that reveal an integral role for the conserved nucleolytic Grc3 complex, and its associated network, as pioneer factors in heterochromatin assembly. More broadly, we demonstrate the power of quantitative proteomics-based strategies for the unbiased scrutiny of the single regions assembled in distinct chromatin states.

Histone chaperone CAF-1 is a synthetic lethal vulnerability in the context of ARID1A deficiencies [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Mutations in the BAF chromatin remodeling complex rank among the most frequent genetic alterations in human cancers, many of which result in a loss of function of the respective subunits. Recent genomic and chemical screens have revealed synthetic lethal interactions of BAF complex subunits with each other as well as with further chromatin modifiers. Using an epigenome-focused shRNA library, we identified loss of the histone chaperone complex CAF-1 (chromatin assembly factor 1) as a synthetic lethal vulnerability of ARID1A-deficient cells that is enhanced by the androgen receptor agonist testosterone. In line with antagonistic roles of the CAF-1 and BAF complexes in nucleosome deposition and remodeling, we show that knock-down of CAF-1 subunits results in a partial reversal of the transcriptional and chromatin accessibility effects caused by loss of ARID1A. Together, our findings identify a new functional partner of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex and represent a potential novel strategy for targeting ARID1A-deficient cancers.

Synthetic double stranded RNA reliably induces innate immunity similar to a live viral vaccine in humans

Project description:Adjuvants are critical for the success of vaccines, and agonists for microbial pattern recognition receptors are promising new candidates. A mechanism for the immune enhancing role of adjuvants is to stimulate innate immunity. We studied the innate immune response in humans to synthetic double stranded RNA (poly ICLC), a ligand for TLR3 and MDA-5 cytosolic RNA helicase. Transcriptional analysis of blood samples from eight volunteers, after subcutaneous administration of poly ICLC showed upregulation of genes involved in multiple innate immune pathways in all subjects, including interferon and inflammasome signaling. Blocking of type I interferon receptor ex vivo significantly dampened the response to poly IC. Comparative transcriptional analysis showed that several innate pathways were similarly induced in volunteers immunized with the highly efficacious Yellow Fever Vaccine. Therefore a chemically defined microbial agonist like poly ICLC can be a reliable and authentic microbial mimic for inducing innate immunity, here for a live attenuated viral vaccine in humans. GSM813292-GSM813386: RNA expression obtained at different time points from Human blood after poly ICLC administration compared to RNA expression obtained from Human blood after placebo administration GSM813387-GSM813410: Blocking of type I interferon receptor ex vivo followed by poly IC stimulation

miRNA expression signatures in human alveolar macrophages after toll-like receptor activation

Project description:We have employed miRNA microarray expression profiling to identify miRNAs that are differentially regulated by toll-like receptor activation in alveolar macrophages. Macrophages are strategically distributed all over the body and represent the first line of defense to invading pathogens. In response to bacterial or viral infections, these phagocytic cells engulf and destroy the infectious agent. Macrophages recognize a variety of microbial products, such as bacterial cell wall components and nucleic acids, via pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors (TLRs). TLR4 represents the receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The extracellular TLR1/2 heterodimer recognizes bacterial triacetylated lipopeptides and their mimic, the synthetic compound Pam3CSK4. In contrast, intracellular TLR3 detects double-stranded RNA, i.e., an intermediate in viral replication, as well as its synthetic analogon polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)). TLRs differentially activate transcription factors due to the varying involvement of the adapter molecules. However, little is known about TLR-mediated miRNA induction in macrophages. In this study, several microRNAs were identified that were specifically associated with a certain treatment scheme, suggesting that macrophage responses highly depend on the nature of the stimulus.

A cell-free system to study the damage response at unprotected DNA ends in Drosophila

Project description:We discovered that the cell-free chromatin assembly system senses free DNA ends and mounts a DNA double-strand break response. DNA ends are first recognized by the Ku complex and later resected. The phosphorylation of H2A.V (homologous to gH2A.X) initiates at DNA breaks and spreads over ten thousands of base pairs of DNA within a few minutes. The phosphorylation of gH2A.V remains tightly associated with the damaged DNA in cis and does not transfer to intact DNA circles in the same reaction. Our descriptions of the damage-related proteome and phospho-proteome provide a rich resource for in-depth mechanistic analyses of the DNA chromosome break response in this model system.
