The three-dimensional structure of chromatin condensed by PRC1 is porous and accessible [ATAC_CP15]

ABSTRACT: The compaction of chromatin is a prevalent paradigm in gene repression. Chromatin compaction is commonly thought to repress transcription by restricting chromatin accessibility. However, the spatial organisation and dynamics of chromatin compacted by gene-repressing factors are unknown. Using cryo-electron tomography, we solved the three-dimensional structure of chromatin condensed by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) in a complex with CBX8. Unexpectedly, PRC1-condensed chromatin is porous and forms a size-selective diffusion barrier that is stabilised through multivalent dynamic interactions. Accordingly, PRC1 remains dynamic within the condensate while maintaining the chromatin static. In differentiated mouse embryonic stem cells, CBX8-bound chromatin remains accessible. These findings challenge the idea of open and closed chromatin states and instead suggest that PRC1 permits size-selective accessibility of macromolecules into chromatin condensates.

REPROGRAMMING CBX8-PRC1 FUNCTION WITH A POSITIVE ALLOSTERIC MODULATOR

Project description:Canonical targeting of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) to repress developmental genes is mediated by cell type-specific, paralogous chromobox (CBX) proteins (CBX2, 4, 6, 7 and 8). Based on their central role in silencing and their dysregulation associated with human disease including cancer, CBX proteins are attractive targets for small molecule chemical probe development. Here, we have used a quantitative and target-specific cellular assay to discover a potent positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of CBX8. The PAM activity of UNC7040 antagonizes H3K27me3 binding by CBX8 while increasing interactions with nucleic acids. We show that treatment with UNC7040 leads to efficient and selective eviction of CBX8-containing PRC1 from chromatin, loss of silencing and reduced proliferation across different cancer cell lines. Our discovery and characterization of UNC7040 not only reveals the most cellularly potent CBX8-specific chemical probe to date, but also corroborates a mechanism of Polycomb regulation by non-specific CBX nucleotide binding activity.

Dynamic and flexible bridging of H3K9me3-nucleosomes via HP1β-dimerization establishes a plastic state of condensed chromatin

Project description:Histone H3 trimethylation of lysine 9 (H3K9me3) and heterochromatin proteins 1 (HP1) are hallmarks of heterochromatin, a state of compacted DNA essential for genome stability and long-term transcriptional silencing. The mechanisms by which H3K9me3 and HP1 contribute to chromatin compaction have been speculative and controversial. We demonstrate that mammalian HP1β is a prototypic HP1 protein exemplifying most basal chromatin binding and effects. These are caused by dimeric and dynamic interaction with highly enriched H3K9me3 and are modulated by various electrostatic interfaces. Via internucleosomal bridging HP1β specifically interacts with condensed chromatin, which we postulate stabilizes the compacted state. In agreement, HP1β genome-wide localization follows enrichment of H3K9me3 and bridging of chromatin fibers in a cellular context is sufficient for maintaining heterochromatic conformation. Overall, our findings define a fundamental mechanism for chromatin higher order structural changes caused by HP1 proteins, which may contribute to the plastic nature of condensed chromatin.

A Cbx8-containing Polycomb complex facilitates gene activation during ES cell differentiation [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Polycomb proteins play an essential role in maintaining the repression of developmental genes in self-renewing embryonic stem cells. The exact mechanism allowing the derepression of polycomb target genes during cell differentiation remains unclear. Here, we show that several differentiation genes transiently recruit a Cbx8-containing Polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 1 during their early activation. Depletion of Cbx8 partially impairs the transcriptional activation of these genes. This correlates with a reduction in low but detectable levels of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation. Prolonged gene activation results in eviction of PRC1 despite persisting H3K27me3. The composition of PRC1 is highly modular and changes when ES cells commit to differentiation. We further demonstrate that the exchange of Cbx7 for Cbx8 is required for the effective activation of differentiation genes. Taken together our results establish a function for a Cbx8-containing complex in facilitating the transition from a Polycomb-repressed chromatin state to an active state. As this affects several key regulatory differentiation genes this mechanism is likely to contribute to the robust execution of differentiation programs.

Whole-transcriptome profiling of regenerating olfactory epithelium following loss of CBX paralogs

Project description:The polycomb group protein, CBX8, is a neuron-specific component of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) in the adult olfactory epithelium. We performed loss of function assays in an in vitro model of the regeneratng olfactory epithelium to determine the role of CBX8 in adult olfactory neurogenesis. Whole-transcriptome analysis highlighted the importance of CBX8-PRC1 in the regulation of adult neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium.

Gene expression data of macrophages cultured on porous titanium discs

Project description:Titanium is a common implant material. However, in some patients titanium implants fail. Macrophages are key cells involved in foreign body response. To identify macrophage response to titainum, primary human macrophages were cultured on porous titanium discs for 6 days We used microarrays to determine the global expression pattern induced by porous titanium in macrophages and identify potential genes involved in implant failure.

Genome wide co-localization of Polycomb orthologs and their effects on gene expression in human fibroblasts

Project description:We have identfied antibodies that support chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of 11 components of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and shown that multiple variants of PRC1 associate with the same DNA. By performing ChIP-seq with antibodies against CBX6, CBX7, CBX8, RING1 and RING2, in two strains of human fibroblasts, we find that all five proteins co-localize at multiple sites in the genome. The binding profiles have inherent architecture that is conserved between the two strains, but there are also a substantial number of differences between the strains, possibly reflecting their anatomical position. The presence of PcG proteins does not equate with gene silencing and their genomic position does not change at senescence. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) in two strains of human fibroblasts using antibodies against three Pc orthologs (CBX6, CBX7 and CBX8) and both Psc orthologs (RING1 and 2). Validation by ChIP-PCR and re-ChIP. Strand specific RNA-seq and validation by qRT-PCR.
