Distinct roles for COMPASS core subunits Set1, Trx, and Trr in the epigenetic regulation of Drosophila heart development

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the role Complex of Proteins Associated with Set1 (COMPASS) in heart development. These are evolutionarily highly conserved multiprotein complexes required for H3K4 methylation. In Drosophila, their core subunits are Set1, Trx, and Trr. We studied flies deficient for either of these three subunits their hearts. These flies showed high lethality at eclosion (emergence of adult flies from their pupal case) and significantly shortened lifespans for the adults that did emerge. Furthermore, their hearts showed reduced H3K4 monomethylation (H3K4me1) and dimethylation (H3K4me2), and significantly altered gene expression patterns. The data revealed that each of the COMPASS core subunits (Set1, Trx, and Trr) control methylation of different sets of genes with distinct temporal activity: Set1 throughout, whereas Trr was active early and Trx at later stages of heart development. We found that many metabolic pathways were active early in development and throughout, while muscle and heart differentiation processes were methylated during later stages of development. Taken together, the findings demonstrate the importance of COMPASS complexes during heart development, therewith supporting their implication in congenital heart diseases.

Enhancer-associated H3K4 mono-methylation by Drosophila Trithorax-related, the Drosophila homolog of Mll3/Mll4

Project description:Mono-methylation of histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4me1) and acetylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27ac) are histone modifications that are highly enriched over the body of actively transcribed genes and enhancers. Although in yeast all H3K4 methylation patterns including H3K4me1 are implemented by Set1/COMPASS, there are three classes of COMPASS-like complexes in Drosophila that could carry out H3K4me1 on enhancers: dSet1, Trithorax and Trithorax-related (Trr). Here, we report that Trr, the Drosophila homolog of mammalian Mll3/4, can function as a major H3K4 mono-methyltransferase on enhancers in vivo. Loss of Trr results in a global decrease of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac in various tissues. Assays with the cut wing margin enhancer imply a functional role for Trr in enhancer-mediated processes. A genome-wide analysis demonstrates that Trr is required for H3K4me1 and H3K27ac on chromatin signatures that resemble the histone modification patterns described for enhancers. Since Trr and mammalian Mll3/4 complexes are distinguished by bearing a unique subunit, the H3K27 demethylase UTX, we propose a model in which the H3K4 mono-methyltransferase Trr, and the H3K27 demethylase, UTX, cooperate to regulate the transition from inactive/poised to active enhancers.

Comparative characterization of the seven H3K4 methyltransferases in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Methylation of H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me) marks transcribed elements of eukaryotic genome, and their distribution alters dynamically through developmental stages and environmental change. These dynamic regulations are likely achieved by combinatorial work of H3K4me writers, which multi-cellular organisms carry multiple copies of. To better understand the chromatin targeting mechanisms of H3K4 methyltransferase in plants, here we comparatively characterized the seven H3K4 methyltransferases in model plants Arabidopsis. This work clarified, in combination with previous results, ATX1-5 (TRX/TRR-type methyltransferase) localizes on loci with specific sets of chromatin modifications and DNA motifs. Notably, ATX3 localizes to binding motifs of ASR3 and RAP2.11 transcriptional factors and also directly interacts with those TFs. ATXR7(SET1-type) and ATXR3 (non-canonical H3K4 methyltransferase) seemed co-transcriptional. Interestingly, ATXR3, the major H3K4me3 methyltransferase in Arabidopsis, was not associated with COMPASS, which suggests H3K4me3 regulation in plants and animals is divergent. Our work provides a foundation for understanding the regulation of H3K4 methyltransferases in plants.

The MLL3/MLL4 branch of the COMPASS family regulates H3K4 monomethylation at enhancers

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) can be mono-, di-, and trimethylated by members of the COMPASS (COMplex of Proteins ASsociated with Set1) family from yeast to human and these modifications can be found at distinct regions of the genome. Monomethylation of histone H3K4 (H3K4me1) is relatively more enriched at metazoan enhancer regions compared to trimethylated histone H3K4 (H3K4me3), which are found at transcription start sites in all eukaryotes. Our recent studies in Drosophila demonstrated that the Trithorax-related (Trr) branch of the COMPASS family regulates enhancer activity and is responsible for the implementation of H3K4me1 at these regions. There are six COMPASS family members in mammals, two of which, MLL3 and MLL4, are most closely related to Drosophila Trr. Here, we use ChIP-seq of this class of COMPASS family members in both human HCT116 cells and mouse embryonic stem cells and find that MLL4 is preferentially found at enhancer regions. MLL3 and MLL4 are frequently mutated in cancer, and indeed, the widely used HCT116 cancer cell line contains inactivating mutations in the MLL3 gene. Using HCT116 cells in which MLL4 has also been knocked out, we demonstrate that MLL4 is a major regulator of H3K4me1 in these cells, with the greatest loss of monomethylation at enhancer regions. Moreover, we found a redundant role between Mll3 and Mll4 in enhancer H3K4 monomethylation in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. These findings suggest that mammalian MLL3/MLL4 function in the regulation of enhancer activity and enhancer-promoter communication during gene expression and that mutations of MLL3 and MLL4 found in cancer could exert their properties through enhancer malfunction. ChIP-Seq in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells for MLL4. ChIP-seq of MLL4 and p300 in human parental HCT116 cells. ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 in parental HCT116 cells and HCT116 cells with Mll4∆set.

Determinants of H3K4me pattern establishment

Project description:A hallmark of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNApII) is a "gradient" of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation. Various factors differentially bind to H3K4me3 near promoters, H3K4me2 just downstream, and H3K4me1 further downstream to modulate gene expression. Set1/COMPASS, the single S. cerevisiae H3K4 methyltransferase, binds transcribing RNApII, but COMPASS may also be allosterically regulated by specific subunits and histone H2B ubiquitylation. To ask whether differential H3K4 methylation is determined by regulated activity at specific gene locations or by the amount of time COMPASS spends near the nucleosome, ChIP-Seq analyses was performed in cells with altered transcription elongation rates or with Set1 fused to RNApII. Our results support a simple model where higher H3K4 methylations result from both increased duration and frequency of COMPASS proximity to the nucleosome.

Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation regulates RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pause-release

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is associated with transcriptional start sites and proposed to regulate transcription initiation. However, redundant functions of the H3K4 SET1/COMPASS methyltransferase complexes complicate elucidation of the specific role of H3K4me3 in transcriptional regulation. Here, we show that acute ablation of shared subunits of the SET1/COMPASS complexes leads to complete loss of all H3K4 methylation. H3K4me3 turnover occurs more rapidly than H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 and is dependent on KDM5 demethylases. Surprisingly, acute loss of H3K4me3 does not have detectable effects on transcriptional initiation but leads to a widespread decrease in transcriptional output, an increase in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pausing and slower elongation. Our study demonstrates a distinct role for H3K4me3 in transcriptional pause-release and elongation rather than transcriptional initiation.

The Set1 N-terminal domain and Swd2 interact with the RNA polymerase II CTD to recruit COMPASS

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by the Set1/COMPASS complex is coupled with active transcription, and this modification is important for regulating gene expression. Set1/COMPASS associates with the RNA polymerase II (RNApII) C-terminal domain (CTD) to establish proper levels and distribution of H3K4 methylations.To ask how the Set1-RNApII CTD binding affects the occupancy and overall level of H3K4 methylations, ChIP-Seq was pefromed in cells transformed with full length or N-terminal truncated Set1. Our results indicate that Set1-RNApII CTD interaction is necessary for maintaining H3K4 methylations throughout the genes.

Feedback control of Set1 protein levels is important for proper H3K4 methylation patterns

Project description:Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 by the Set1 subunit of COMPASS correlates withactive transcription. Here we show that Set1 levels are regulated by protein degradation in response to multiple signals. Set1 levels are greatly reduced when COMPASS recruitment to genes, H3K4 methylation, or transcription is blocked. The degradation sequences map to N-terminal regions that overlap a previously identified auto-inhibitory domain, as well as the catalytic domain. Truncation mutants of Set1 that cause under- or over-expression produce abnormal H3K4 methylation patterns on transcribed genes. Surprisingly, SAGA-dependent genes are more strongly affected than TFIID-dependent genes, reflecting differences in their chromatin dynamics. We propose that careful tuning of Set1 levels by regulated degradation is critical for establishment and maintenance of proper H3K4 methylation patterns.

Context Dependency of Set1/COMPASS Mediated H3 Lysine 4 Trimethylation

Project description:The stimulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) by H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub) has been widely studied with multiple mechanisms proposed for this form of histone crosstalk. Cps35/Swd2 within COMPASS is considered to bridge these processes. However, a truncated form of Set1 (762-Set1) is reported to function in H3K4 trimethylation without interacting with Cps35/Swd2, and such crosstalk is attributed to the n-SET domain of Set1 and its interaction with the Cps40/Spp1 subunit of COMPASS. Here, we use biochemical, structural, in vivo, and ChIP-seq approaches to demonstrate that Cps40/Spp1 and the n-SET domain of Set1 are required for the stability of Set1 and not the crosstalk. Furthermore, the apparent wild-type levels of H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the 762-Set1 strain is due to rogue methylase activity of this mutant resulting in the mislocalization of H3K4me3 from the promoter-proximal regions to gene bodies and intergenic regions. We have also performed detailed screens and identified yeast strains lacking H2Bub, but containing intact H2Bub enzymes, that have normal levels of H3K4me3, suggesting that ubiquitination may not directly stimulate COMPASS, but rather works in a context of the PAF and Rad6/Bre1 complexes. Our study demonstrates that the ubiquitination machinery and Cps35/Swd2 function to focus COMPASS’ H3K4me3 activity at promoter-proximal regions in a context dependent manner. ChIP-Seq for H3K4ME3 in S. cerevisie wild-type strains and strains expressing a truncated form of Set1: aa762-1080 Set1. H3K4ME3 ChIP-Seq was also compared for wild-type, leo1 knockout, and chd1 knockout strains
