Project description:Ezh1 is a protein member of PRC2. Ezh1 has been described as a functional repressor gene, such as its homologous Ezh2. We are investigating the role of Ezh1 in hematopoietic stem cells, aging, self-renewal and differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in LSK cells from mice with knocked-down expression of Ezh1. LSK cells from EZH1 knockout and control mice were marked and isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. 2 replicates each.

Project description:Trimethylation on H3K27 (H3K27me3) mediated by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been linked to embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity and pluripotency. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, has been reported as the sole histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K27 and mediates transcriptional silencing. Analysis of Ezh2(-/-) ESCs suggests existence of an additional enzyme(s) catalyzing H3K27 methylation. We have identified EZH1, a homolog of EZH2 that is physically present in a noncanonical PRC2 complex, as an H3K27 methyltransferase in vivo and in vitro. EZH1 colocalizes with the H3K27me3 mark on chromatin and preferentially preserves this mark on development-related genes in Ezh2(-/-) ESCs. Depletion of Ezh1 in cells lacking Ezh2 abolishes residual methylation on H3K27 and derepresses H3K27me3 target genes, demonstrating a role of EZH1 in safeguarding ESC identity. Ezh1 partially complements Ezh2 in executing pluripotency during ESC differentiation, suggesting that cell-fate transitions require epigenetic specificity.

Project description:We previously reported the requirement of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) for spermatogenesis through transcriptional repression of somatic genes and meiosis-specific genes. To characterize how PRC2's two methyltransferase subunits, EZH1 and EZH2, regulate histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methylation during germ cell development, we generated mouse models with a germline ablation of EZH1 and/or EHZ2. Only the combined loss of EZH1 and EZH2 caused a depletion of global H3K27me3 marks and meiotic arrest in spermatocytes. Genome-wide analysis of H3K27me3 in spermatogenic cells revealed that a noncanonical EZH1-PRC2 could establish and maintain this histone mark on somatic genes and certain meiotic genes. Consistent with it having active enhancers in testis, Ezh1 was not only abundant in highly differentiated spermatocytes but also in actively proliferating progenitor and stem germ cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that the expression level of Ezh1 determines the restoration of H3K27 methylation in the absence of the canonical EZH2-PRC2.

Project description:Ezh2 is a protein member of PRC2 and has described like a functional repressor gene. We are investigating the role of Ezh2 in hematopoietic stem cell, aging and leukemia. In the present study, we generated mouse models that allow gain-of-function of Ezh2 in the hematopoietic system. Activation of Ezh2 expression specifically in self-renewing HSCs alters gene expression programs and severely compromises hematopoietic function, leading to the development of myeloproliferative disease. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in LSK that has relationship with the overexpression of Ezh2. LSK were marked and isolated by Fluorescence-activated cell sorting in Trizol.

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins initiate the formation of repressed chromatin domains and regulate developmental gene expression. A mammalian PcG protein, Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (Ezh2), triggers transcriptional repression by catalyzing the addition of methyl groups onto lysine-27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2/3)1. This action facilitates the binding of other PcG proteins to histone H3 and compaction of chromatin. Interestingly, there exists a paralog of Ezh2, termed Ezh1, whose primary function remains unclear. Here, we provide evidence for genome-wide association of Ezh1 with active epigenetic marks, RNA polymerase II (PolII) and mRNA production. Ezh1 depletion reduced global PolII occupancy within gene bodies and resulted in delayed transcriptional activation during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. Conversely, ectopic expression of wild-type Ezh1 led to premature gene activation and rescued PolII-elongation defects in Ezh1-depleted cells. Collectively, these findings reveal an unanticipated role of a PcG protein in promoting mRNA transcription. Examination of 3 different histone modifications, 3 modified forms of RNA polymerase II, Ezh1, Ezh2 and mRNA levels in a skeletal muscle cells at various developmental stages.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays crucial roles in transcriptional regulation and stem cell development. However, the context-specific functions associated with alternative subunits remain largely unexplored. Here we show that the related enzymatic subunits EZH1 and EZH2 undergo an expression switch during hematopoiesis. We examine the in vivo stoichiometry of the PRC2 complexes by quantitative proteomics and reveal the existence of an EZH1-SUZ12 sub-complex lacking EED. We provide evidence that EZH1 together with SUZ12 form a non-canonical PRC2 complex, occupy active chromatin domains in the absence of H3K27me3, and positively regulate gene expression. Loss of EZH2 expression leads to global repositioning of EZH1 chromatin occupancy to EZH2 targets. Moreover, we demonstrate that an erythroid-specific enhancer mediates transcriptional activation of EZH1, and a switch from GATA2 to GATA1 controls the developmental EZH1/2 switch by differential association with EZH1 enhancers during erythropoiesis. Thus, the lineage- and developmental stage-specific regulation of PRC2 expression and subunit composition leads to a switch from canonical silencing to non-canonical PRC2 functions during blood stem cell specification. Analysis of genomic occupancy of EZH1, EZH2, EED, SUZ12, various histone marks and transcription factors in primary human fetal liver proerythroblasts by ChIP-seq. Sample GSM970262 was used as the input DNA sample.

Project description:Circadian rhythmicity of gene expression is a conserved feature of cell physiology. This involves fine tuning between transcriptional and post-transcriptional molecular mechanisms, strongly dependent on the metabolic state of the cell, which guarantees adaptive plasticity of tissue-specific genetic programs. Dynamics of epigenome structure and epigenetic regulators support this plasticity. However, the intermingle between epigenome and RNA Pol II rhythmicity remains to be investigated. Here we identify the Polycomb group (PcG) protein EZH1 as a gateway bridging function regulating periodic alternation between chromatin mediated silencing and active transcription in post-mitotic skeletal muscle cells. We show that PRC2-EZH1 core components are under direct regulation of BMAL1, and show an oscillatory behavior and a regulated periodic assembly of PRC2-EZH1 complex. Instead at alternate Zeitgeber points, EZH1 becomes essential for circadian gene expression, through stabilization of RNA Pol II preinitiation complex controlling nascent transcription process. Collectively, our data show that EZH1 depending on the stoichiometry of its partners guarantees both negative and positive modulation of RNA Pol II activity, resulting in oscillatory transcription.

Project description:The project aimed at identifying the cofactors regulating Polycomb complex PRC2 enzymatic activity in gonads. We used a knock-in mouse model where the enzymatic subunit of PRC2 (either EZH2 or EZH1) is tagged (Flag-tag) to purify PRC2 from mouse adult testis. This experiment revealed the existence of a new cofactor for PRC2 that we called GPIF (AU022751).
