ATRX-mediated chromatin association of histone variant macroH2A1 regulates alpha globin gene expression

ABSTRACT: The histone variant macroH2A generally associates with transcriptionally inert chromatin, however the factors that regulate its chromatin incorporation remain elusive. Here, we identify the SWI/SNF helicase, ATRX, as a novel macroH2A interacting protein. Unlike its role in assisting H3.3 chromatin deposition, ATRX acts as a negative regulator of macroH2A’s chromatin association. In human erythroleukemic cells deficient for ATRX, ChIP-sequencing studies reveal that macroH2A accumulates at the HBA gene cluster on the subtelomere of chromosome 16, coinciding with the loss of α globin expression. Collectively, our results implicate deregulation of macroH2A’s distribution as a contributing factor to the α thalassemia phenotype of ATRX syndrome.

Mononucleosomes from K562 cells bearing integrated lentiviral shRNA constructs targeting either luciferase (shluc) or ATRX (sh92) were isolated and ChIP'd with mH2A1 antibody. DNA from shluc Input and the two mH2A1 ChIPs were isolated and sequenced on Illumina's Hiseq.

Gene expression profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the X-linked alpha thalassemia mental retardation (ATRX) syndrome

Project description:ATRX is a severe X-linked disorder characterized by mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, urogenital abnormalities and alpha-thalassemia. The disease is caused by mutations in ATRX gene, which encodes a protein belonging to the SWI/SNF DNA helicase family, a group of proteins involved in the regulation of gene transcription at the chromatin level. In order to identify specific genes involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, we compared, by cDNA microarray, the expression levels of approximately 8500 transcripts between ATRX and normal males of comparable age. The analysis has been performed on pooled RNA extracted by Peripheral blood mononuclear cell pellet of three male ATRX patients in comparison to that obtained from a pool of 42 normal males (age 7.6+ 2.4).

The chromatin remodeler ATRX binds to atypical chromatin domains at the 3â exons of ZNF genes to preserve H3K9me3 enrichment

Project description:Here, we report that ATRX co-localizes with the H3K9-methyl transferase SETDB1 (also known as ESET), the co-repressor TRIM28 (also known as KAP1), and the transcription factor ZNF274 at 3â exons of Zinc Finger Genes (ZNFs) containing an atypical H3K9me3/H3K36me3 chromatin signature. Disruption of ATRX and ZNF274 leads to a significant reduction of H3K9me3, particularly at the 3â ZNF exons and other atypical chromatin regions, higher percentages of DNA damage, and defects in cell cycle. Taken together, our studies suggest that ATRX binds the 3â exons of ZNFs to maintain genomic stability through the regulation of their H3K9me3 levels XL-MNase ChIP-seq of ATRX was performed in the erythroleukemic cell line K562 and the Neuroblastoma cell line LAN6. Two independent replicates using different ATRX antibodies were performed in K562. Additionally, Native ChIP-seq of H3K9me3 in LAN6, ATRX WT and ATRX KO K562 cells was performed. Input samples were sequenced as control.

ATRX - a chromatin remodelling protein interactome

Project description:ATRX is a chromatin remodelling protein of the SWI/SNF family, mutations in which cause alpha thalassemia X-linked (ATRX) intellectual disability syndrome and are highly associated with a number of cancers characterized by alternative lengthening of telomeres. ATRX functions with the histone chaperone DAXX to facilitate deposition of the histone variant H3.3 at heterochromatic regions such as telomere and pericentric repeats, resulting in a unique form of heterochromatin characterized by both trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me3) and H3.3. How ATRX is recruited to these regions remain unclear.To better understand it, we therefore used immunoprecipitation-coupled to mass spectrometry (IP-MS) to identify potential factors that interact with ATRX and may promote its localization and function. Based on our proteomics results, we identified known ATRX-interacting proteins, DAXX and MRE11. We also identified a number of proteins that have been genetically linked to G-quadruplex structures. Interestingly, we identified members of DNA replcation machinery MCM complex (e.g. MCM2, MCM4, MCM6, and MCM7) and the faciliates chromatin transcription (FACT) comeplex as novel ATRX-interacting proteins. We then verified the interaction of ATRX to MCM proteins and FACT subunits by co-immunoprecipition/immunoblot and proximity ligation assay.

Zebrafish Samples for Loss of ATRX cooperates with p53-Deficiency to promote the Development of Sarcomas and other Malignancies

Project description:The SWI/SNF-family chromatin remodeling protein ATRX is a tumor suppressor in sarcomas, gliomas and other malignancies. Its loss of function facilitates the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway in tumor cells, while it also affects Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) silencing of its target genes. To further define the role of inactivating ATRX mutations in carcinogenesis, we knocked out atrx in our previously published p53/nf1-deficient zebrafish line that develops malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors and gliomas. Complete inactivation of atrx using CRISPR-cas9 was lethal in developing fish and resulted in an alpha-thalassemia-like phenotype including reduced alpha-globin expression. In p53/nf1-deficient zebrafish neither peripheral nerve sheath tumors nor gliomas showed accelerated onset in atrx+/- fish, but these fish developed various tumors that were not observed in their atrx+/+ siblings, including epithelioid sarcoma, angiosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and rare types of carcinoma. Most of these cancer types are included in the AACR Genie database of human tumors associated with mutant ATRX, indicating that our zebrafish model reliably reflects a role for ATRX-loss in the early pathogenesis of these types of human cancers. RNA-seq of p53/nf1- and p53/nf1/atrx-deficient tumors revealed that down-regulation of telomerase accompanied ALT-mediated lengthening of the telomeres in atrx-mutant samples. Moreover, inactivating mutations in atrx disturbed PRC2-target gene silencing, indicating a connection between ATRX loss and PRC2 dysfunction in cancer development.

macroH2A1 ChIP-seq in G1/S phase and metaphase

Project description:The histone variant macroH2A forms large chromatin domains and serves as a transcriptional repression marker. It has been found that the overall quantity of macroH2A deposition on chromatin undergoes dynamic changes during the cell cycle. However, the genomic features relevant to these dynamic changes in macroH2A1 deposition during the cell cycle remain poorly understood. We combined ChIP‑seq and cell synchronization in mouse NIH-3T3 cells to examine the dynamic changes of macroH2A1 deposition on the genome between G1/S phase and metaphase. Interestingly, we observed that macroH2A1 deposition dynamically changes within the large macroH2A1 domain at G1/S phase and metaphase, which was associated with transcriptional activity. These dynamic changes occurring at gene bodies can specifically mark cell-cycle-specific genes. Taken together, we propose that macroH2A1 is a dynamic histone variant associated with cell-cycle-specific genes and plays a crucial role in cell-cycle-specific transcriptional repression.

Expression data from macroH2A1/2 double knockout fetal mouse liver

Project description:MacroH2As core histone variants have a unique structure that includes C-terminal nonhistone domain. MacroH2As are highly conserved in vertebrates, and are thought to regulate gene expression. However the nature of genes regulated by macroH2As and the biological significance of macroH2As for the organism remain unclear. Here we examine macroH2A function in vivo by knocking out both macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 in the mouse. We used microarrays to examine how the absence of macroH2A.1 and macroH2A.2 histone variants affect gene expression late fetal mouse liver.

Dataset of differentially expressed genes in mouse P12 testes in response to the loss of ATRX in Sertoli cells

Project description:This dataset represents genes that are dysregulated in the postnatal day 12 (P12) mouse testis when ATRX is specifically inactivated in Sertoli cells (ScAtrxKO mice). The differentially expressed genes included in the dataset may play important roles in the testicular phenotypes observed in the ScAtrxKO mice, which were first reported in our previous work (Bagheri-Fam et al., 2011). In fetal ScAtrxKO mice, Sertoli cells undergo apoptosis due to cell cycle defects, resulting in smaller testes with reduced tubule volume. Adult ScAtrxKO mice show a wide range of spermatogenesis defects probably due to a failure of the dysfunctional ATRX protein to interact with the androgen receptor (AR). The chromatin remodeling protein ATRX is widely expressed in the human testis including Sertoli cells. In XY individuals, the loss of ATRX leads to ATR-X (alpha thalassemia, mental retardation, X-linked) syndrome associated with a wide range of genital abnormalities such as hypospadias, ambiguous genitalia, and small testes with reduced tubule volume. Our dataset contributes towards understanding the mechanism underlying ATRX regulation of testis development and spermatogenesis.
