Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly prevalent pathogen that induces life-long infections notably through the establishment of latency in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Bouts of reactivation are normally controlled by the immune system, but can be fatal in immuno-compromised individuals such as organ transplant recipients. Here, we reveal that HCMV latency in human CD34(+) HSC reflects the recruitment on the viral genome of KAP1, a master co-repressor, together with HP1 and the SETDB1 histone methyltransferase, which results in transcriptional silencing. During lytic infection, KAP1 is still associated with the viral genome, but its heterochromatin-inducing activity is suppressed by mTOR-mediated phosphorylation. Correspondingly, HCMV can be forced out of latency by KAP1 knockdown or pharmacological induction of KAP1 phosphorylation, and this process can be potentiated by activating NFkB with TNF-α. These results suggest new approaches both to curtail CMV infection and to purge the virus from organ transplants.

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is fundamental for B cell differentiation. Here, we explored the role in this process of KAP1, the cofactor of KRAB-ZFP transcriptional repressors. B lymphoid-specific Kap1 knockout mice displayed reduced numbers of mature B cells, lower steady-state levels of antibodies and accelerated rates of decay of neutralizing antibodies following viral immunization. Transcriptome analyses of Kap1-deleted B splenocytes revealed an upregulation of PTEN, the enzymatic counter-actor of PIK3 signaling, and of genes encoding DNA damage response factors, cell-cycle regulators and chemokine receptors. ChIP/seq studies established that KAP1 bound at or close to a number of these genes, and controlled chromatin status at their promoters. Genome-wide, KAP1-binding sites avoided active B cell-specific enhancers and were enriched in repressive histone marks, further supporting a role for this molecule in gene silencing in vivo. Likely responsible for tethering KAP1 to at least some of these targets, a discrete subset of KRAB-ZFPs is enriched in B lymphocytes. This work thus reveals the role of KRAB/KAP1-mediated epigenetic regulation in B cell development and homeostasis. Follicular (FO) and Transcriptional 2 Follicular Progenitor (T2-FP) B cells were sorted out from 3 CD19-Cre/Kap1flox (KAP1 KO in the B lineage) mice and 3 wt/Kap1flox littermate controls

Project description:Heterochromatin binding protein HP1β plays an important role in chromatin organization and cell differentiation, however the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we generated HP1β-/- embryonic stem cells and observed reduced heterochromatin clustering and impaired differentiation. We found that during stem cell differentiation, HP1β is phosphorylated at serine 89 by CK2, which creates a binding site for the pluripotency regulator KAP1. This phosphorylation dependent sequestration of KAP1 in heterochromatin compartments causes a downregulation of pluripotency factors and triggers pluripotency exit. Accordingly, HP1β-/- and phospho-mutant cells exhibited impaired differentiation, while ubiquitination-deficient KAP1ΔRing cells had the opposite phenotype with enhanced differentiation. These results suggest that KAP1 regulates pluripotency via its ubiquitination activity. We propose that the formation of subnuclear membraneless heterochromatin compartments may serve as a dynamic reservoir to trap or release cellular factors. The sequestration of essential regulators defines a novel and active role of heterochromatin in gene regulation and represents a dynamic mode of remote control to regulate cellular processes like cell fate decisions.

Project description:KAP1 is overexpressed in breast cancer. To determine KAP1 regulated genes, we performed microarray analysis of gene expression in KAP1 depleted breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231LN. The transcriptional regulator TRIM28/KAP1 plays an important role in development, stem cell self-renewal, chromatin organization and the DNA damage response. KAP1 is an essential co-repressor for KRAB zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZNFs). Though KRAB-ZNFs represent the largest family of human transcription factors, their biological functions are largely unknown. Using the conserved zinc fingers linker region (ZnFL) as antigen, we have developed a ZnFL antibody that recognizes multiple KRAB-ZNFs. We showed that KAP1 and many KRAB-ZNFs were overexpressed in human breast cancers and breast cancer cell lines. In addition, an active SUMOylated form of KAP1 was markedly increased in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, KAP1 depletion in breast cancer cell lines reduced cell proliferation and inhibited tumor growth and metastasis of tumor xenografts. Conversely, KAP1 overexpression stimulated cell proliferation and tumor growth. KAP1 knockdown led to down-regulation of genes previously linked to tumor progression and metastasis, including PTGS2/COX2, EREG, CD44, MMP1 and MMP2. Interestingly, KAP1 depletion or genomic deletion led to dramatic down-regulation of multiple KRAB-ZNF proteins due in part to their increased degradation. KAP1-dependent stabilization of KRAB-ZNFs required a direct KRAB-ZNF-KAP1 interaction. These results establish KAP1 as a positive regulator of multiple KRAB-ZNFs and an important factor in the development of breast cancer. 7 total samples were analyzed. Stable sublines of MDA-MB-231LN cells expressing control non-targeting shRNA (Scr, 3 biological replicates) and two different shRNAs against KAP1 (KAP1-3, 2 biological replicates and KAP1-4, 2 biological replicates) from doxycycline-inducible pTRIPZ vector were cultured in the presence of 0.5 ug/ml doxycycline for 7 days to induce shRNA expression. Cells were lysed and total RNA was isolated using mirVana miRNA isolation kit (Ambion) in the WVU Genomics Core Facility.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells express pluripotency-associated genes and repress differentiation-inducible genes. The activities of these genes are coordinately reversed during differentiation. The changes in the transcriptome upon conditional KAP1 knockout in ES cells overlapped with the changes during embryoid body formation. KAP1 repressed differentiation-inducible genes and derepressed pluripotency-associated genes in ES cells. KAP1 formed complexes with polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) through an interaction that was mediated by the KAP1 coiled-coil region. KAP1 and PRC1 bound cooperatively at the promoters of differentiation-inducible genes and repressed their transcription. In contrast, KAP1 bound the transcribed and flanking sequences of pluripotency-associated genes, did not enhance PRC1 binding, and derepressed their transcription. KAP1 had opposite effects on differentiation-inducible and pluripotency-associated gene transcription both in ES cells and in differentiating embryoid bodies. The region of KAP1 that mediated the interaction with PRC1 was required for KAP1 enhancement of PRC1 binding and for KAP1 repression of transcription at differentiation-inducible promoters. This region of KAP1 was not required for KAP1 suppression of PRC1 binding or for KAP1 derepression of transcription at pluripotency-associated promoters. The opposite effects of KAP1 on transcription of differentiation-inducible versus pluripotency-associated genes contributed to the reciprocal changes in their transcription during differentiation.
