DKDM2 couples histone H2A ubiquitylation to histone H3 demethylation during Polycomb group silencing.

ABSTRACT: Transcription regulation involves enzyme-mediated changes in chromatin structure. Here, we describe a novel mode of histone crosstalk during gene silencing, in which histone H2A monoubiquitylation is coupled to the removal of histone H3 Lys 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2). This pathway was uncovered through the identification of dRING-associated factors (dRAF), a novel Polycomb group (PcG) silencing complex harboring the histone H2A ubiquitin ligase dRING, PSC and the F-box protein, and demethylase dKDM2. In vivo, dKDM2 shares many transcriptional targets with Polycomb and counteracts the histone methyltransferases TRX and ASH1. Importantly, cellular depletion and in vitro reconstitution assays revealed that dKDM2 not only mediates H3K36me2 demethylation but is also required for efficient H2A ubiquitylation by dRING/PSC. Thus, dRAF removes an active mark from histone H3 and adds a repressive one to H2A. These findings reveal coordinate trans-histone regulation by a PcG complex to mediate gene repression.

Co-transcriptional histone H2B monoubiquitylation is tightly coupled with RNA polymerase II elongation rate

Project description:Various histone modifications decorate nucleosomes within transcribed genes. Among these, monoubiquitylation of histone H2B (H2Bub1) and methylation of histone H3 on lysines 36 (H3K36me2/3) and 79 (H3K79me2/3) correlate positively with gene expression. By measuring the progression of the transcriptional machinery along genes within live cells, we now report that H2B monoubiquitylation occurs co-transcriptionally and accurately reflects the advance of RNA polymerase II (Pol II). In contrast, H3K36me3 and H3K79me2 are less dynamic and represent Pol II movement less faithfully. High resolution ChIP-seq reveals that H2Bub1 levels are selectively reduced at exons, and decrease in an exon-dependent stepwise manner towards the 3' end of genes. Exonic depletion of H2Bub1 in gene bodies is highly correlated with Pol II pausing at exons, suggesting elongation rate changes associated with intron-exon structure. Overall, our data shed light on the organization of H2Bub1 within transcribed genes, and single out H2Bub1 as a reliable marker for ongoing transcription elongation.

Comparing active and repressed expression states of genes controlled by the Polycomb/Trithorax group proteins

Project description:Drosophila Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins are responsible for the maintenance of stable transcription patterns of many developmental regulators, such as the homeotic genes. We have used a ChIP-on- Chip approach to map the distribution of several PcG/TrxG proteins as well as histone modifications across the two homeotic complexes ANT-C and BX-C. Our data indicate the colocalization of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) with Trx and the DNA binding protein Pleiohomeotic (Pho) at discrete sequence elements as well as significant chromatin assembly differences in active and inactive regions. Trx binds to the promoters of active genes and noncoding transcripts. Most strikingly, in the active state Pho covers extended chromatin domains over many kilobases. The histone modifications investigated, seem to be mutually exclusive, with histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 27 covering inactive chromatin domains whereas hyperacetylated histone H4 is present only at active genes.

Kinome-wide RNAi screen uncovers role of Ballchen in maintenance of gene activation by trithorax group in Drosophila

Project description:We report an ex vivo kinome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila aimed to identify cell signaling genes that facilitate trxG to counteract PcG mediated repression. From the list of trxG candidates, Ballchen (BALL), a histone kinase, known to phosphorylate histone H2A at threonine 119 (H2AT119p), was characterized as a trxG regulator. BALL co-localizes with Trithorax on chromatin and depletion of BALL results in increased H2AK118 ubiquitination, a histone mark central to PcG mediated gene silencing. Moreover, analysis of genome-wide binding profile of BALL shows an overlap with 85% known binding sites of TRX across the genome. Both BALL and TRX are highly enriched at actively transcribed genes, which also correlate with presence of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac. We propose that BALL mediated signal positively contributes to the maintenance of gene activation by trxG by counteracting the repressive effect of PcG.

ASH1L links histone H3 lysine 36 di-methylation to leukemia

Project description:The histone methyltransferases MLL and ASH1L are trithorax-group proteins that interact genetically through undefined molecular mechanisms to regulate developmental and hematopoietic gene expression. Here we show that the lysine 36-dimethyl mark of histone H3 (H3K36me2) written by ASH1L is preferentially bound in vivo by LEDGF, an MLL-associated protein that co-localizes with MLL, ASH1L and H3K36me2 on chromatin genome wide. Furthermore, ASH1L facilitates recruitment of LEDGF and wild type MLL proteins to chromatin at key leukemia target genes, and is a crucial regulator of MLL-dependent transcription and leukemic transformation. Conversely KDM2A, an H3K36me2 demethylase and Polycomb-group silencing protein, antagonizes MLL-associated leukemogenesis. Our studies illuminate the molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic interactions wherein placement, interpretation and removal of H3K36me2 contribute to the regulation of gene expression and MLL leukemia, and suggest ASH1L as a target for therapeutic intervention.

The Polycomb Group Protein Suz12 Is Required for Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins form multiprotein complexes, called Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs). PRC2 contains the PcG proteins EZH2, SUZ12, and EED and represses transcription through methylation of lysine (K) 27 of histone H3 (H3). Suz12 is essential for PRC2 activity and its inactivation results in early lethality of mouse embryos.

DNA binding reorganizes the intrinsically disordered C-terminal region of PSC in Drosophila PRC1

Project description:Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins regulate gene expression by modifying chromatin. A key PcG complex, PRC1, has two activities: a ubiquitin ligase activity for histone H2A, and a chromatin compacting/nucleosome bridging activity that can inhibit transcription and chromatin remodeling. In Drosophila, the Posterior Sex Combs (PSC) subunit of PRC1 is central to both activities. The N-terminal homology region (HR) of PSC partners with dRING to form the ubiquitin ligase, while its intrinsically disordered C-terminal region (PSC-CTR) compacts chromatin, and inhibits chromatin remodeling and transcription in vitro. Both the HR and the PSC-CTR are essential in vivo. To understand how these two activities may be coordinated in PRC1, we used cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to analyze the conformations of the PSC-CTR in PRC1 and how they change on binding DNA. XL-MS identifies interactions between the PSC-CTR and the core of PRC1, including the PSC HR. New contacts and overall more compacted PSC-CTR conformations are induced by DNA binding. We used chemical acetylation of accessible lysines for MS-based protein footprinting of the PSC-CTR. Protein footprinting reveals an extended, bipartite candidate DNA/chromatin binding surface. Our data suggest a model in which DNA (or chromatin) follows a long path on the flexible PSC-CTR. Intramolecular interactions of the PSC-CTR detected by XL-MS can bring the high affinity DNA/chromatin binding region close to the core of PRC1 without disrupting the interface between the ubiquitin ligase and the nucleosome. Our approach may be applicable to understanding the global organization of other large IDRs that bind nucleic acids.
