Project description:We analyzed the genome-wide binding of Tet1 in control (shScr) and Tet1 knockdown (shTet1) mouse ES cells using two different Tet1 antibodies (Tet1-C and Tet1-N). Furthermore, we generated genome-wide mapping of hydroxymethyl cytosine (hmC) and methyl cytosine (mC). We find that hmC, in contrast to mC, is also found at transcription start sites (TSSs), and that there is a significant overlap between Tet1 binding and hmC positive regions. Surprisingly, our results also suggest, that Tet1 has a role in transcriptional repression. We showed that Tet1 associates with Sin3A co-repressor complex, and by performing ChIP-sequencing of Sin3A, we find co-localisation of Tet1 and Sin3a throughout the genome Examination of Tet1 and Sin3A binding as well as hmC and mC localization in mouse ES cells

Project description:Enzymes catalyzing the methylation of the 5-position of cytosine (mC) have essential roles in regulating gene expression, genome stability, and maintaining cellular identity. Recently Tet1, which is highly expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells, was found to oxidize the methyl group of mC converting it to 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (hmC)3. Here, we present the genome-wide mapping of Tet1 and hmC in mouse ES cells. We show that Tet1 binds throughout the genome with the majority of binding sites located at transcription start sites (TSSs) and within genes. Similar to Tet1 and mC, also hmC is found throughout the genome and in particular in gene bodies. However, in contrast to mC, hmC is enriched at TSSs. Tet1 and hmC are associated with genes critical for the control of development and differentiation, which become methylated during differentiation. Surprisingly our results also suggest that Tet1 has a role in transcriptional repression. We show that Tet1 binds to a significant proportion of target genes that are positive for the Polycomb repressive histone mark H3K27me3, and that downregulation of Tet1 also leads to increased expression of a group of Tet1 target genes. In agreement with a potential repressive function, we show that Tet1 associates with the Sin3A co-repressor complex, which also co-localises with Tet1 throughout the genome. We propose that Tet1 fulfils dual functions in transcriptional regulation, where it fine-tunes DNA methylation and associates with the Sin3A co-repressor complex to prevent transcriptional activation.

Project description:Tet proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine (mC) to generate 5-hydroxymethyl (hmC), 5-formyl (fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (caC). The exact function of these oxidative cytosine bases remains elusive. We applied quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify readers for mC and hmC in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), neuronal progenitor cells (NPC) and adult mouse brain tissue. Readers for these modifications are only partially overlapping and some readers, such as Rfx proteins, display strong specificity. Interactions are dynamic during differentiation, as for example evidenced by the mESC-specific binding of Klf4 to mC and the NPC-specific binding of Uhrf2 to hmC, suggesting specific biological roles for mC and hmC. Oxidized derivatives of mC recruit distinct transcription regulators as well as a large number of DNA repair proteins in mouse ES cells, implicating the DNA damage response as a major player in active DNA demethylation. Peptides were separated on an EASY-nLC (Proxeon) connected online to an LTQ-Orbitrap-Velos mass spectrometer. Spectra were recorded in CID mode. A gradient of organic solvent (5-30% acetonitrile) was applied (120 minutes) and the top 15 most abundant peptides were fragmented for MS/MS, using an exclusion list of 500 proteins for 45 seconds. Raw data were analyzed using Maxquant version 1.2.2.5 and the integrated Andromeda search engine against protein database ipi.MOUSE.v3.68. Using Perseus, data was filtered for contaminants, reverse hits, number of peptides (>1) and unique peptides (>0). Ratios were logarithmitized (log2) and groups (consisting of forward and reverse) were defined. Proteins were filtered to have at least 2 valid values in one of the groups and missing values were imputed based on a normal distribution (width=0.2 and shift=0), after which Significance B was calculated (Benj.Hoch.FDR=0.05). Scatterplots were made using R. Proteins were defined to be significant when both forward and reverse significance p<0.05 and minimal ratios were >2 in both experiments. The H/L ratios shown in Figure2A-C were calculated using the formula (log(forward ratio) - log(reverse ratio))/2.

Project description:5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), a derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), is abundant in the brain for unknown reasons. We mapped the genomic distribution of 5-hmC and 5-mC in human and mouse tissues using glucosylation of 5-hmC coupled with restriction enzyme digestion, and interrogation on microarrays. We detected 5-hmC enrichment in genes with synapse-related functions in the brain. We also identified significant, tissue-specific differential distributions of these DNA modifications at the exon-intron boundary, in both human and mouse. This boundary change was mainly due to 5-hmC in the brain, but due to 5-mC in non-neural contexts. This pattern was replicated in multiple independent datasets, and the brain-specific change in 5-hmC was validated using single-molecule sequencing. Moreover, in the brain, constitutive exons contained higher levels of 5-hmC, relative to alternatively-spliced exons. Our study suggests a novel role for 5-hmC in RNA splicing and synaptic function in the brain The M-NM-2-glucosyltransferase (BGT) enzyme transfers a glucose molecule specifically to the hydroxymethyl group of 5-hmC, thus rendering it resistant to digestion by the methylation insensitive MspI enzyme at the ChmCGG target site; 5-hmC is thus detected by differential resistance to MspI-digestion with and without glucosylation of genomic DNA (gDNA). HpaII (targets the same site, CCGG) cannot cut CmCGG or ChmCGG, and conceptually its difference with MspI digestion is a measure of both 5-mC and 5-hmC. Subtraction of 5-hmC from the HpaII-based estimate therefore measures 5-mC. These estimates were measured on respective Affymetrix whole-genome tiling arrays (2.0 R ) MspI - APRIL_fc1.ch02_coverage.bed Undigested DNA - APRIL_fc1.ch01_coverage.bed GluMspI - APRIL_fc1.ch04_coverage_NONTARGET.bed GluMspI - APRIL_fc1.ch04_coverage.bed MspI - APRIL_fc1.ch02_coverage_NONTARGET.bed Undigested DNA - APRIL_fc1.ch01_coverage_NONTARGET.bed MspI - MARCH_fc1.ch02_coverage_NONTARGET.bed Undigested DNA - MARCH_fc1.ch01_coverage_NONTARGET.bed GluMspI - MARCH_fc1.ch04_coverage_NONTARGET.bed GluMspI - MARCH_fc1.ch04_coverage.bed MspI - MARCH_fc1.ch02_coverage.bed Undigested DNA - MARCH_fc1.ch01_coverage.bed MspI - MAY_fc1.ch02_coverage.bed GluMspI - MAY_fc1.ch04_coverage_NONTARGET.bed GluMspI - MAY_fc1.ch04_coverage.bed Undigested DNA - MAY_fc1.ch01_coverage.bed MspI - MAY_fc1.ch02_coverage_NONTARGET.bed Undigested DNA - MAY_fc1.ch01_coverage_NONTARGET.bed

Project description:Precise regulation of DNA methylation in mammals is critical for genome stability and epigenetic regulation. The discovery of the ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins catalyzing the oxidation from 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) revolutionized the perspective on the complexity and regulation of DNA modifications. Despite accumulating knowledge about the role of TET1, it remains unclear to what extent these can be attributed to its catalytic activity. Here, we use genome engineering and quantitative multi-omics approaches to dissect the role and mechanism of TET1 in mESCs. Our study identifies TET1 as an essential interaction hub for multiple chromatin modifying complexes and as a global regulator of histone modifications. Strikingly, we find that the majority of transcriptional regulation depends on non-catalytic functions of TET1. Moreover, we show that the establishment of H3K9me3 and H4K20me3 at ERV1, ERVK, and ERVL is mediated by TET1 independent of DNA demethylation. We provide evidence that repression of endogenous retroviruses depends on the interaction between TET1 and SIN3A. In summary, we demonstrate that the non-catalytic functions of TET1 are critical for regulation of gene expression and the silencing of endogenous retroviruses in mESCs.

Project description:DNA methylation at the 5-position of cytosine (5-mC) is a key epigenetic mark critical for varius biological and pathological processes. 5-mC can be converted to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) by the Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) family of DNA hydroxylases. Here we report that "loss of 5-hmC" is an epigenetic hallmark of melanoma with diagonostic and prognostic implications. Genome-wide mapping of 5-hmC in nevi and melanomas for the first time revealed loss of 5-hmC landscape in the melanoma epigenome. Downregulation of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) and TET family enzymes proved to be one of the mechanisms underlying the loss of 5-hmC during melanoma development, and rebuilding the 5-hmC landscape in the melanoma epigenome by reintroducing active TET2 or IDH2 suppressed melanoma growth and increased tumor-free survival. Thus, our study establishes that "loss of 5-hmC" is a new epigenetic hallmark of melanoma and links IDH and TET family enzymes-mediated 5-hmC putative tumor suppressor pathway to the suppression of melanoma progression.

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic modification involved in gene silencing, imprinting, and the suppression of retrotransposons. Global DNA demethylation occurs in the early embryo and the germline and may be mediated by Tet (ten-eleven-translocation) enzymes, which convert 5-methylcytosine (mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC). Tet enzymes have been extensively studied in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are generally cultured in the absence of Vitamin C, a potential co-factor for Fe(II) 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase enzymes like Tets. Here we report that addition of Vitamin C to ES cells promotes Tet activity leading to a rapid and global increase in hmC. This is followed by DNA demethylation of numerous gene promoters and up-regulation of demethylated germline genes. Tet1 binding is enriched near the transcription start site (TSS) of genes affected by Vitamin C treatment. Importantly, Vitamin C, but not other antioxidants, enhances the activity of recombinant human Tet1 in a biochemical assay and the Vitamin C-induced changes in hmC and mC are entirely suppressed in Tet1/2 double knockout (Tet DKO) ES cells. Vitamin C has the strongest effects on regions that gain methylation in cultured ES cells compared to blastocysts and in vivo are methylated only after implantation. In contrast, imprinted regions and intracisternal A-particle (IAP) elements, which are resistant to demethylation in the early embryo, are resistant to Vitamin C-induced DNA demethylation. Collectively, this study establishes that Vitamin C is a direct regulator of Tet activity and DNA methylation fidelity in ES cells. Oct4-GiP mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were cultured in the presence or absence of Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 100 M-NM-<g/ml) for 12 or 72 hours. Cells were maintained in N2B27 medium supplemented with LIF (1000 U/ml), MEK inhibitor PD0325901 (1 M-NM-<M), and GSK3M-NM-2 inhibitor CHIR99021 (3 M-NM-<M). Genomic DNA was used for DNA immunoprecipitation with antibodies against 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) or 5-methylcytosine (mC). Immunoprecipitated DNA was adaptor-ligated for paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq and sequence reads were aligned to the mm9 mouse reference genome for analysis.

Project description:Background: 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and its oxidized form, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), are distinct epigenetic marks that help regulate gene expression in the mammalian brain. Existing studies have identified associations between 5-mC and neurodegenerative disease, but little work has examined the potential role of 5-hmC in Parkinson’s disease (PD) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we utilized PD postmortem brain tissue and a public dataset from postmortem AD brains to analyze the effect of neurodegenerative disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC levels. Results: In PD samples, we measured genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC from control (n=3) and PD (n=6) brains using the Illumina EPIC array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatments (BS/oxBS-EPIC). In publicly sourced data, genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC were measured from control (n=25) and AD (n=62) human entorhinal cortex tissue using the Illumina 450K array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatment (BS/oxBS-450K). Paired 5-mC and 5-hmC beta values were generated using a custom pipeline of bioinformatics tools, and we modeled the effect of disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC data using a mixed effects beta regression model with a random effect for ID and an interaction term between disease category and DNA modification category (“5-mC” or “5-hmC”). We identified a number of CpG probes (AD: n=699, PD: total n = 80) that showed a significant interaction between disease status and DNA modification category (p-value < 2.4x10-7). Conclusions: While our PD data requires additional validation, our analyses suggest that there are widespread shifts in the balance between 5-mC and 5-hmC in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
