Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.

Project description:The E3 ligase UHRF1 is an essential epigenetic cofactor for DNMT1 dependent maintenance DNA methylation, which provides a binding platform for DNMT1 by both cooperative binding of histones and hemi-methylated DNA as well as by ubiquitinating histone H3. Here, we conduct a comprehensive screen to identify novel ubiquitination targets of UHRF1 and its paralogue UHRF2 by comparing the ubiquitome of wildtype (wt), UHRF1- and UHRF2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells. With an antibody-dependent enrichment of ubiquitin remnant motif-containing peptides followed by isobaric-labeling based quantitative mass spectrometry, we find both known and novel E3 ligase substrates of UHRF1 involved in a variety of biological processes such as RNA processing, DNA methylation and DNA damage repair.

Project description:UHRF1 (Ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domains, 1) recruits DNMT1 to hemimethylated DNA during replication, is essential for maintaining DNA methylation patterns during cell division and is suggested to direct additional repressive epigenetic marks. Uhrf1 mutation in zebrafish results in multiple embryonic defects including failed hepatic outgrowth, but the epigenetic basis of these phenotypes is not known. We find that DNA methylation is the only epigenetic mark that is depleted in uhrf1 mutants and make the surprising finding that despite the reduced organ size in uhrf1 mutants, genes regulating DNA replication and S-phase progression were highly upregulated. Further, there is a striking increase in BrdU incorporation in uhrf1 mutant cells, and they retained BrdU labeling over several days, indicating they are arrested in S-phase. Moreover, some of the label retaining nuclei co-localized with TUNEL positive nuclei, suggesting that arrested cells are responsible for apoptosis. Importantly, dnmt1 mutation phenocopies the S-phase arrest and hepatic outgrowth defects in uhrf1 mutants and Dnmt1 knock-down enhances the uhrf1 hepatic phenotype. Together, these data indicate that DNA hypomethylation is sufficient to generate the uhrf1 mutant phenotype by promoting an S-phase arrest. We thus propose that cell cycle arrest is a mechanism to restrict propagation of epigenetically deranged cells during embryogenesis. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed on 2 uhrf1 mutant and 2 wildtype zebrafish larvae (120 hours post fertilization) by using Zebrafish Genome Array (Affymetrix) according to manufacturer's instruction.

Project description:Propagation of DNA methylation through cell division relies on the recognition of methylated cytosines by UHRF1. We present an experimental system where regulation of global and site-specific demethylation can be dissected in great detail, which is part of the biology of stem cells transitioning to ground state pluripotency upon signal inhibition. In this study we begin to elucidate the signalling pathways that converge upon UHRF1 regulation by employing a high-throughput shRNA screen targeting genes of the mouse kinome, using UHRF1-GFP fluorescence as readout. Our screen identified a total of 251 genes, enriched in factors related to metabolic processes. We found that whilst all candidates tested rescued UHRF1 from proteasomal degradation, UHRF1 in Nags and Csnk2b knockdown prevented DNA methylation loss, whereas in Prpsap2 and Sephs2 knockdown cells UHRF1 activity was impaired leading to methylation loss. This study, therefore, provides a valuable resource for understanding the interface between signalling and its effect on the epigenome

Project description:We used microarrays to explore the expression profile from cells expressing wild type and UHRF1 S674A mutant. HeLa cells expressing UHRF1 WT and S674A mutant showed similar gene expression pattern without significant affecting the transcription of DNA repari genes. UHRF1 was depleted in HeLa cells by shRNA treatment. Total RNA was purified and used to determine the global gene transcription profiles by microarray assays. The UHRF1-related genes expression profiles were compared among control cells, UHRF1-depleted cells, UHRF1 WT reconstituting cells and UHRF1 S674A mutant reconstituting cells.

Project description:Deletion of Uhrf1 resulted in stage 1-specific defects during iNKT cell development. To investigate the molecular mechanism, we sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells and performed RNA-seq. By comparing gene expression profile, we found metabolic defects in Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells. The expression of CD71 (Tfrc), two subunits of CD98 (Slc3a2 and Slc7a5) and Glut3 (Slc2a3) was reduced in stage 1 iNKT cells. Besides, the downstream pathways of AKT-mTOR axis were significantly reduced. Collectively, our results suggest that Uhrf1 is required for iNKT cell development by regulating the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. We first sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells, extracted the mRNA and performed RNA-seq. We then analyzed the differentially expressed genes and performed KEGG pathway analysis. We used RT-PCR to verify the expression of the key nutrient related genes (Tfrc, Slc3a2, Slc7a5 and Slc2a3) and used flow cytometry to test the protein level of metabolic related molecules. Besides, we also analyzed the expression of genes of mTOR downstream pathways to demonstrate that Uhrf1 mediated AKt-mTOR axis regulates iNKT cell development.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications of histone N-terminal tails influence the status of chromatin and eventually control the transcriptional outcome of a particular gene. As a histone H3K9 methyltransferase (HMTase) in higher eukaryotes, G9a-mediated transcriptional repression is the major epigenetic silencing machinery. UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains I) binds to hemi-methylated DNA and plays essential role in maintenance of DNA methylation by recruiting DNMT1. Here, we provide evidence that UHRF1 is transcriptionally downregulated by H3K9 HMTase G9a. We found that increased expression of G9a along with transcription factor YY1 specifically represses UHRF1 transcription. We uncovered showed that G9a regulates UHRF1-mediated H3K23 ubiquitylation and proper DNA replication maintenance by FACS analysis and propose that H3K9 HMTase G9a is a specific epigenetic regulator of UHRF1.

Project description:Histone H3 mono-ubiquitination, catalyzed by the RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1, is appreciated as a docking site for DNMT1 during DNA replication to facilitate DNA methylation maintenance. Its functions beyond this are unknown. Here, we identify simultaneous increases in UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub and SUV39H1/2-dependent H3K9me3 as prominent epigenetic alterations accompanying DNA hypomethylation induced by DNMT1 inhibition. Integrative epigenomics analyses reveal that transient accumulation of hemi-methylated DNA, resulting from incomplete DNA methylation maintenance, stimulates UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub at CpG islands that nucleates new domains of H3K9me3 and impedes PRC2 activity in these genomic regions. Notably, H3K18ub enhances the methyltransferase activity of SUV39H1/2, leading to increased H3K9me3 at these CpG island promoters. Blocking H3K18ub-dependent SUV39H1/2 activity enhances the efficacy of DNMT1 inhibitors. Collectively, these findings reveal a novel histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk mechanism that reinforces heterochromatin states in the absence of DNA methylation and proposes new strategies for improving cancer epigenetic therapy.
