The C-terminal 4CXXC-type zinc finger domain of CDCA7 recognizes hemimethylated DNA and modulates activities of chromatin remodeling enzyme HELLS

ABSTRACT: The chromatin-remodeling enzyme helicase lymphoid-specific (HELLS) interacts with cell division cycle-associated 7 (CDCA7) on nucleosomes and is involved in the regulation of DNA methylation in higher organisms. Mutations in these genes cause immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, which also results in DNA hypomethylation of satellite repeat regions. We investigated the functional domains of human CDCA7 in HELLS using several mutant CDCA7 proteins. The central region is critical for binding to HELLS, activation of ATPase, and nucleosome sliding activities of HELLS-CDCA7. The N-terminal region tends to inhibit ATPase activity. The C-terminal 4CXXC-type zinc finger domain contributes to CpG and hemimethylated CpG DNA preference for DNA-dependent HELLS-CDCA7 ATPase activity. Furthermore, CDCA7 showed a binding preference to DNA containing hemimethylated CpG, and replication-dependent pericentromeric heterochromatin foci formation of CDCA7 with HELLS was observed in mouse embryonic stem cells; however, all these phenotypes were lost in the case of an ICF syndrome mutant of CDCA7 mutated in the zinc finger domain. Thus, CDCA7 most likely plays a role in the recruitment of HELLS, activates its chromatin remodeling function, and efficiently induces DNA methylation, especially at hemimethylated replication sites.

Structural basis of specific DNA binding by the transcription factor ZBTB24

Project description:ZBTB24, encoding a protein of the ZBTB family of transcriptional regulators, is one of four known genes – the other three being DNMT3B, CDCA7 and HELLS – that are mutated in immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by DNA hypomethylation and antibody deficiency. The molecular mechanisms by which ZBTB24 regulates gene expression and the biological functions of ZBTB24 are poorly understood. Here we identified a 12-bp consensus sequence [CT(G/T)CCAGGACCT] occupied by ZBTB24 in the mouse genome. The sequence is present at multiple loci, including the Cdca7 promoter region, and ZBTB24 binding is mostly associated with gene activation. Crystallography and DNA-binding data revealed that the last four of the eight zinc fingers (ZFs) (i.e. ZF5-8) in ZBTB24 confer specificity of DNA binding. Two ICF missense mutations have been identified in the ZBTB24 ZF domain that alter zinc-binding cysteine residues. We demonstrated that the corresponding C382Y and C407G mutations in mouse ZBTB24 abolish specific DNA binding and fail to induce Cdca7 expression. Our analyses indicate, and suggest a structural basis for, the sequence specific recognition by a transcription factor centrally important for the pathogenesis of ICF syndrome.

Ablation of ZBTB24 in hematopoietic cells in mice results in antibody deficiency that mimics ICF syndrome

Project description:ICF syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, centromeric instability and facial anomalies, is caused by mutations in DNMT3B, ZBTB24, CDCA7 or HELLS. In this study we show that mice deficient for Zbtb24 in the hematopoietic lineage exhibit a phenotype that recapitulates major clinical features of ICF patients, including hypogammaglobulinemia. RNA-Seq analysis of splenic follicular B cells and marginal zone B cells identifies dozens of genes that show differential expression in the absence of Zbtb24. These include Cdca7, Taf6, Cdc40, Ostc, Crisp3 and Il5ra.

Identification of potential genomic targets of CDCA7

Project description:CDCA7, encoding a protein with a C-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD), is mutated in immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a disease related to hypomethylation of peri/centromeric satellite DNA. Previous work suggests that the CDCA7 CRD is implicated in DNA binding, which plays a key role in directing the DNA methylation mechinery to peri/centromeric regions. To identify potential genomic targets of CDCA7, we performed ChIP-Seq using CDCA7 knockout (KO) mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) stably expressing HA-tagged wild-type (WT) or ICF mutant (R285H) mCDCA7.

Impact of Hells loss-of-function on DNA methylation in B cells during humoral immune responses: kinetic comparison of Mb1-Hells knockout and control mice by enzymatic-methyl sequencing

Project description:We are interested in deciphering the mechanism by which DNA methylation in late B cell differentiation affects humoral immune response. We were using enzymatic-methyl sequencing (EM-seq) and chose to study a very rare immunodeficiency called ICF type 4, where a point mutation in a gene encoding the protein HELLS causes a lack of both circulating antibodies and memory B cells in human. HELLS is a chromatin remodeler, that allows for DNA methylation to occur.

Loss of ZBTB24, a novel non-homologous end-joining protein, impairs class-switch recombination in ICF syndrome

Project description:The autosomal recessive immunodeficiency, centromeric instability and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Despite recent successes in the identification of the underlying gene defects, it is currently unclear how mutations in any of the four known ICF genes cause a primary immunodeficiency. Here we demonstrate that loss of ZBTB24 in B cells from ICF2 patients impairs non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) during immunoglobulin class-switch recombination and consequently impairs immunoglobulin production and subtype balance. Mechanistically, we found that ZBTB24 associates with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and stimulates auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of this enzyme. The zinc finger in ZBTB24 binds PARP1-associated poly(ADP-ribose) chains and mediates the PARP1-dependent recruitment of ZBTB24 to DNA breaks. Moreover, by binding to poly(ADP-ribose) chains ZBTB24 protects these moieties from degradation by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). This enhances the poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent interaction between PARP1 and the LIG4/XRCC4 NHEJ complex and promotes NHEJ by facilitating the assembly of this repair complex at DNA breaks. Thus, we uncover ZBTB24 as a regulator of PARP1-dependent NHEJ and class-switch recombination, providing a molecular basis for the immunodeficiency in ICF syndrome.

Impact of Hells loss-of-function on DNA methylation in B cells during humoral immune responses: kinetic comparison of Mb1-Hells knockout and control mice by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:We are interested in deciphering the mechanism by which DNA methylation in late B cell differentiation affects humoral immune response. We chose to study a very rare immunodeficiency called ICF type 4, where a point mutation in a gene encoding the protein HELLS causes a lack of both circulating antibodies and memory B cells in human. HELLS is a chromatin remodeler, that allows for DNA methylation to occur. Using a Hells conditional knock-out in B cells, we measured the kinetics of the immune B cell response, following immunization with NP-CGG, and show a lack of memory and plasma cells accompanied by a defect in germinal center maintenance, but not by its formation. Single cell RNAseq of cell sorted naive, germinal center B cells and memory B cells at day 7 and day 14 post NP-immunization helped us better characterize the phenotype.

Comprehensive structure-function characterization of DNMT3B and DNMT3A reveals distinctive de novo DNA methylation mechanisms

Project description:Mammalian DNA methylation patterns are established by two de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B, which exhibit both redundant and distinctive methylation activities. However, the related molecular basis remains undetermined. Through comprehensive structural, enzymology and cellular characterizations of DNMT3A and DNMT3B, here we uncovered distinct and interrelated modes-of-action underlying their CpG site and flanking sequence interaction. Strikingly, K777 of DNMT3B makes direct contacts with the DNA base at the +1 flank position of the cytosine methylation site, which contrasts with its counterpart in DNMT3A that forms base-specific contacts with the CpG site. Consequently, there is a divergent substrate and flanking sequence preference between DNMT3A and DNMT3B in vitro and in cells, thus providing an explanation for site-specific epigenomic alterations seen in ICF syndrome patients with DNMT3B mutations. Together, this study reveals crucial, yet complicated interplays of DNMT3s, DNA sequences and resultant methylation.
