Profiling the genome-wide distribution of HUSH subunits

ABSTRACT: The HUSH complex preserves genome integrity through the epigenetic repression of invasive genetic elements. However, despite our understanding of HUSH as an obligate complex of three subunits, only loss of MPP8 or Periphilin, but not TASOR, triggers interferon signaling following derepression of endogenous retroelements. Here we resolve this paradox by characterising a second HUSH complex which shares MPP8 and Periphilin but assembles around TASOR2, an uncharacterized paralog of TASOR. Whereas HUSH represses LINE-1 retroelements marked by the repressive histone modification H3K9me3, HUSH2 is recruited by the transcription factor IRF2 to repress interferon-stimulated genes. Mechanistically, HUSH-mediated retroelement silencing sequesters the limited pool of the shared subunits MPP8 and Periphilin, preventing TASOR2 from forming HUSH2 complexes and hence relieving the HUSH2-mediated repression of interferon-stimulated genes. Thus, competition between two HUSH complexes intertwines retroelement silencing with the induction of an immune response, coupling epigenetic and immune aspects of genome defense.

Interplay between Two Paralogous Human Silencing Hub (HuSH) Complexes in Regulating LINE-1 Element Silencing

Project description:The Human Silencing Hub (HuSH) complex is a complex that silences retrotransposable elements invertebrates. Here, we identify a second HuSH complex, designated HuSH2, which is centered aroundTASOR2, a paralog of the core TASOR protein in HuSH. Our findings reveal that HuSH and HuSH2 localize todistinct and non-overlapping genomic loci. Specifically, HuSH localizes to and represses LINE-1retrotransposons, whereas HuSH2 targets and represses KRAB-ZNFs and interferon signaling and responsegenes. We use in silico protein structure predictions to simulate MPP8 interactions with TASOR paralogs,guiding amino acid substitutions that disrupted binding to HuSH complexes. These MPP8 transgenes andother constructs reveal the importance of HuSH complex quantities in regulating LINE-1 activity. Furthermore,our results suggest that dynamic changes in TASOR and TASOR2 expression enable cells to finely tuneHuSH-mediated silencing. This study offers insights into the interplay of HuSH complexes, highlighting theirvital role in retrotransposon regulation.

TASOR epigenetic repressor cooperates with a CNOT1 RNA degradation pathway to repress HIV

Project description:The Human Silencing Hub (HUSH) complex constituted of TASOR, MPP8 and Periphilin is involved in the spreading of H3K9me3 repressive marks across genes and transgenes such as ZNF encoding genes, ribosomal DNAs, retroelements, including LINE-1 elements, or the integrated HIV provirus. The deposit of these repressive marks leads to heterochromatin formation and inhibits gene expression. The precise mechanisms of HUSH-mediated silencing are still poorly understood, but HUSH presents structural homology with the RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex found in fission yeast. During transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II, RITS recruits a TRAMP-like RNA degradation complex composed of CNOT1 partners, MTR4 and the exosome, to ultimately repress gene expression via H3K9me3 deposit. Here, we show that TASOR depletion or HIV-2 Vpx expression, which induces TASOR degradation, increases the accumulation of transcripts derived from the HIV-1 LTR promoter at a post-transcriptional level. Furthermore, using a yeast 2-hybrid screen, we identified new TASOR partners involved in RNA metabolism including the RNA deadenylase CCR4-NOT complex scaffold CNOT1. TASOR and CNOT1 interact in vivo and synergistically repress HIV expression from its LTR. Similar to the RITS complex, we show that TASOR interacts and cooperates with MTR4 and the exosome. We also highlight an interaction between TASOR and RNA Polymerase II, predominantly under its elongating state, and between TASOR and some HUSH-targeted nascent transcripts. Finally, we show that TASOR overexpression facilitates the association of the aforementioned RNA degradation proteins with RNA polymerase II and is detected at transcriptional centers. Altogether, we propose that HUSH operates at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels to repress HIV proviral gene expression.
