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.

Identification of neuron lineage-specific PRC1 targets in olfactory neuron precursors

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 ChIP-seq to identify genes occupied by CBX8-PRC1.
