PML is a novel constitutive component of chromatin domains of enriched repetitive elements and duplicated gene clusters in cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Heterochromatin is a pivotal element in the functional organization of genomes. In our study, we delve into the heterochromatin pattern of association by the PML (promyelocytic leukemia) protein. By using PML chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing data and comparing computational methodologies to depict PML chromatin association, we describe PML-associated domains or PADs as large heterochromatic regions that exhibit similar genomic features across cancer cell lines. We show that PADs are specifically enriched in non-coding genes, duplicated gene clusters, and repetitive DNA elements. Moreover, we find enriched binding motifs of KZFPs, which are involved in orchestrating epigenetic repression at repetitive DNA elements. Hence, our findings suggest that PML conservatively associates to heterochromatic domains enriched in repetitive DNA elements and duplicated gene clusters in cancer. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the complex regulatory framework of genome organization by heterochromatin in cancer.

PML protein organizes heterochromatin domains where it regulates histone H3.3 deposition by ATRX/DAXX

Project description:Maintenance of chromatin homeostasis involves proper delivery of histone variants to the genome. The interplay between different chaperones regulating the supply of histone variants to distinct chromatin domains remains largely undeciphered. We report a role of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein in the routing of histone variant H3.3 to chromatin and in the organization of megabase-size heterochromatic PML-associated domains that we call PADs. Loss of PML alters the heterochromatic state of PADs by shifting the histone H3 methylation balance from K9me3 to K27me3. Loss of PML impairs deposition of H3.3 by ATRX and DAXX in PADs but preserves the H3.3 loading function of HIRA in these regions. Our results unveil an unappreciated role of PML in the large-scale organization of chromatin and demonstrate a PML-dependent role of ATRX/DAXX in the deposition of H3.3 in PADs. Our data suggest that H3.3 loading by HIRA and ATRX-dependent H3K27 trimethylation constitute mechanisms ensuring maintenance of heterochromatin when the integrity of these domains is compromised.

PML modulates epigenetic composition of chromatin to regulate expression of pro-metastatic genes in triple-negative breast cancer [RNA-seq]

Project description:The promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein organizes nuclear aggregates known as PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), where many transcription factors and transcriptional regulators converge to be regulated. Specific associations of PML and PML-NBs with chromatin are described in different cell types, further implicating PML in transcriptional regulation. However, a complete understanding of the functional consequences of PML association to DNA in a cellular context where it regulates relevant phenotypes is still lacking.We examined the role of PML in chromatin association and transcription in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a pathological condition where PML exerts important oncogenic functions. We find that PML associates discontinuously with large heterochromatic PML-associated domains (PADs) that contain gene-rich euchromatic sub-domains locally depleted of PML. PML promotes heterochromatic organization in PADs and expression of pro-metastatic genes embedded in these sub-domains. Importantly, this occurs outside PML-NBs, suggesting that nucleoplasmic PML exerts a cell type-relevant function of transcriptional regulation. PML also plays an indirect regulatory function in TBNC cells by promoting the expression of pro-metastatic genes outside PADs.Our findings demonstrate that PML is an important transcriptional regulator of metastasis and pro-oncogenic metagenes in TNBC cells, via distinct molecular activities that include indirect transcriptional regulation and direct epigenetic organization of heterochromatin domains that embed regions of localized transcriptional activity.

DOT1L regulates pericentromeric heterochromatin

Project description:Many repetitive DNA elements are packaged in heterochromatin, but depend on occasional transcription to maintain long-term silencing. The factors that promote transcription of repeat elements in heterochromatin are largely unknown. Here, we show that DOT1L, a histone methyltransferase that modifies lysine 79 of histone H3 (H3K79), is required for transcription of major satellite repeats to maintain pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH), and that this function is essential for preimplantation development. DOT1L is a transcriptional activator at single-copy genes but does not have a known role in repeat element transcription. We show that H3K79me3 is specifically enriched at repetitive elements, that loss of DOT1L compromises pericentromeric major satellite transcription, and that this function depends on interaction between DOT1L and the chromatin remodeler SMARCA5. DOT1L inhibition causes chromosome breaks and cell cycle defects, and leads to embryonic lethality. Together, our findings uncover a vital new role for DOT1L in transcriptional activation of heterochromatic repeats.

Intricate structure of the interphase chromocenter revealed by the analysis of a factor involved in species formation

Project description:In higher eukaryotes centromeres often coalesce into a large intranuclear domain called the chromocenter. Chromocenters are important for the organization of pericentric heterochromatin and a disturbance of their formation results in an upregulation of repetitive elements and causes defects in chromosome segregation. Mutations in the gene encoding for the centromere associated Drosophila speciation factor HMR show very similar phenotypes suggesting a role of HMR in chromocenter architecture and function. We performed confocal and super resolution microscopy as well as proximity based biotinylation experiments of HMR, centromeric protein dCenpA and heterochromatic protein HP1a to generate a molecular map of HMR, dCenpA and HP1a bound chromatin. Our work reveals an intricate internal structure of the centromeric chromatin region, which suggests a role of HMR in separating heterochromatin from centromeric chromatin.

KAP1 facilitates reinstatement of heterochromatin after DNA replication

Project description:During cell division, not only is the genome duplicated, but the maintenance of chromatin features on the parental DNA and their propagation onto daughter strands is a challenge. The loss of epigenetic marks on heterochromatin, typically enriched in repetitive elements, could lead to genome instability and chromosomal rearrangements via recombination. How they are maintained across cell division and most importantly which critical molecular players are involved is poorly understood. KAP1 is known to act as a scaffold for a repressor complex that mediates local heterochromatin formation, and plays an important role during DNA repair. Here we identify in KAP1 a novel role for the replication of heterochromatic regions. First, we observed that KAP1 associates with several DNA replication factors including PCNA, MCM3 and MCM6. Second, we found that these interactions are modulated by KAP1 phosphorylation during S phase. Finally we could demonstrate that KAP1 recruits HP1 and the histone-lysine methyltransferases Suv39h1 and Suv420h1. Based on these data, we propose a model for KAP1 involvement in maintaining heterochromatin during DNA replication and thereby preventing genome instability.

A heterochromatin-dependent transcription machinery drives piRNA expression

Project description:Nuclear small RNA pathways safeguard genome integrity by establishing transcription-repressing heterochromatin at transposable elements. This inevitably also targets the transposon-rich source loci of the small RNAs themselves. How small RNA source loci are efficiently transcribed while transposon promoters are potently silenced, is not understood. Here, we show that transcription of Drosophila piRNA clusters—small RNA source loci in animal gonads—is enforced through RNA Polymerase II pre-initiation complex formation within repressive heterochromatin. This is accomplished through the TFIIA-L paralog Moonshiner, which is recruited to piRNA clusters via the Heterochromatin Protein-1 variant Rhino. Moonshiner triggers transcription initiation within piRNA clusters by recruiting the TATA box-binding protein (TBP)-related factor TRF2, an animal TFIID core variant. Thus, transcription of heterochromatic small RNA source loci relies on direct recruitment of the core transcriptional machinery to DNA via histone marks rather than sequence motifs, a concept that we argue is a recurring theme in evolution.

Investigating the effect of Daxx deletion on gene and repeat expression in embryonic stem cells and their differentiated neural derivatives

Project description:Genomes comprise a large fraction of repetitive sequences folded into constitutive heterochromatin to protect genome integrity and cell identity. De novo formation of heterochromatin during preimplantation development is essential to preserve the ground-state of pluripotency and the self-renewal capacity of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In this study we find that DAXX, an H3.3 chaperone, is essential for ESCs maintenance in the ground-state of pluripotency. DAXX accumulates at pericentromeric regions, and recruits PML and SETDB1, thereby promoting heterochromatin formation. In the absence of DAXX, the 3D-architecture and physical properties of pericentric and peripheral heterochromatin are disrupted, resulting in derepression of major satellite DNA, transposable elements and genes associated with the nuclear lamina. Our data reveal that DAXX is crucial for the maintenance and 3D-organization of the heterochromatin compartment and protects ESCs viability.
