H3K9 methylation fine-tunes coordination of transcription by regulating the conformational plasticity of chromosomal folding [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Despite that stochastic gene expression variations underlie lineage specification and adaptive responses, little is known about the plasticity of 3D chromatin folding and its effects on cell-to-cell transcriptional variability. Employing the Chromatin In Situ Proximity (ChrISP) technique we visualize here developmentally acquired chromosome 11-specific chromatin hubs rich in the repressive H3K9me2 mark that project towards the lamina in single cells. Inhibition of the H3Kme2 methyl-transferase G9a/Glp not only antagonizedperipheral chromatin compaction, but strikingly also induced the emergence of dense chromatin clusters in the nuclear interior. Changes in chromatin organization were accompanied by the spatial re-organization of transcriptional coordination without affecting the overall level of transcription. LOCKs thus topologically insulate active genes at the nuclear periphery, while allowing transcriptional coordination in the rest of the chromosome. We conclude that G9a/Glp controls not only the plasticity of chromatin conformations, but also spatial coordination of transcription to affect cellular gene expression variability.

Identification of proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP (EHMT2/EHMT1) complex of histone methyltransferases

Project description:G9a (EHMT2) and the G9a-like protein GLP (EHMT1) form a stable G9a/GLP heterodimer in embryonic stem cells and function cooperatively to establish and maintain the abundant repressive H3K9me2 modification, in addition to modifying several non-histone proteins. The G9a-dependent H3K9me2 is implicated in lineage-specific gene silencing and covers large chromosomal domains. While the mechanism of H3K9me2maintenance by G9a/GLP is known, how new patterns of this modification are established is not well understood. With this in mind, we used FLAG affinity purification of G9a under two different stringency conditions (150 and 300 mM NaCl) coupled with mass spectrometry to identify proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP, which could serve as potential recruiters of the complex to unmodified chromatin.

A role for Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) in retention of the G9a methyltransferase on chromatin

Project description:G9a and GLP lysine methyltransferases form a heterodimeric complex that is responsible for the bulk of cellular mono- and di-methylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me1/me2). Widely Interspaced Zinc finger (WIZ) associates with the G9a/GLP protein complex, but its role in lysine methylation is poorly defined. Here, we show that WIZ regulates global H3K9me2 levels through a mechanism that involves retention of G9a on chromatin. We also show that WIZ-mediated chromatin loss of G9a/GLP results in altered gene expression and protein-protein interactions that are distinguishable from that of using a molecule-induced enzymatic inhibitor towards G9a/GLP – thus providing evidence that the G9a/GLP/WIZ complex has unique functions when bound to chromatin that are independent of the H3K9me2 mark DMSO, UNC0638, NS, and siWIZ treatments to HEK293T cells, assessing G9a and H3K9me2 localization, each performed in duplicate, plus one input control for each cell condition. 30 samples total.

Regulation of mammalian 3D genome organization and histone H3K9 dimethylation by H3K9 methyltransferases

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) is a highly conserved silencing epigenetic mark. Chromatin marked with H3K9me2 forms large domains in mammalian cells and overlaps well with lamina-associated domains and the B compartment defined by Hi-C. However, the role of H3K9me2 in 3-dimensional (3D) genome organization remains unclear. We investigated genome-wide H3K9me2 distribution, transcriptome, and 3D genome organization in mouse embryonic stem cells following the inhibition or depletion of five H3K9 methyltransferases (MTases): G9a, GLP, SETDB1, SUV39H1, and SUV39H2. H3K9me2 was regulated by all five MTases; however, H3K9me2 and transcription in the A and B compartments were regulated by different MTases. H3K9me2 in A compartments was primarily regulated by G9a/GLP and SETDB1, while H3K9me2 in the B compartments was regulated by all five MTases. Furthermore, decreased H3K9me2 correlated with changes to the more active compartmental state that accompanied transcriptional activation.

GLP is critical for oogenesis exhibiting a G9A-independent role in transcriptional repression

Project description:GLP (EHMT1) functions as an H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 methyltransferase through its reportedly obligatory dimerization with G9A (EHMT2). Here, we investigated the role of GLP in oocyte and embryo development in comparison to G9A using oocyte-specific conditional knockout mouse models (G9a cKO, Glp cKO, G9a-Glp cDKO). Loss of GLP in oogenesis severely impairs oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo development, resulting in lethality before embryonic day E12.5. In contrast, loss of G9A has a milder effect with a proportion of embryos producing viable offspring. The Glp cKO also showed loss of G9A protein and, hence, was phenotypically very similar to the G9a-Glp cDKO. H3K9me2 was equally depleted in all cKO genotypes, whereas H3K9me1 was decreased only in Glp cKO and G9a-Glp cDKO oocytes. Furthermore, the transcriptome, DNA methylome and proteome were markedly more affected in G9a-Glp cDKO than G9a cKO oocytes, demonstrating that in the absence of GLP there are widespread epigenetic and gene expression changes in the oocyte independent of H3K9me2. Gene dysregulation with coupled changes in DNA methylation suggest localised loss of chromatin repression, resulting in upregulated protein expression. Together, our findings demonstrate that GLP can function independently of G9A in the oocyte and is required for oocyte developmental competence.

H3K9 methyltransferases and demethylases control lung tumor-propagating cells and lung cancer progression

Project description:We have identified the histone methyltransferases G9a/Glp as suppressors of aggressive lung tumor-propagating cells (TPCs). Chemically inhibiting G9a/Glp promoted TPC phenotypes in lung adenocarcinoma cells, and caused chromatin changes at genes associated with the differentiation of stem cells. G9a/Glp inhibition in lung progenitor cell organoid cultures disrupted alveolar differentiation. Depleting G9a during tumorigenesis enriched for TPCs, accelerating disease progression and metastasis. Demethylase inhibition decreased lung adenocarcinoma progression in vivo.

ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification by targeting G9A/GLP-mediated heterochromatin to silence enhancers

Project description:ZNF462 haploinsufficiency is linked to Weiss-Kruszka Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by neurodevelopmental defects including Autism. Though conserved in vertebrates and essential for embryonic development the molecular functions of ZNF462 remain unclear. We identified its murine homolog ZFP462 in a screen for mediators of epigenetic gene silencing. Here, we show that ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by targeting the H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase complex G9A/GLP to silence mesoendodermal genes. ZFP462 binds to transposable elements (TEs) that are potential enhancers harboring ESC-specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Recruiting G9A/GLP, ZFP462 seeds heterochromatin, restricting TF binding. Loss of ZFP462 in ESCs results in increased chromatin accessibility at target sites and ectopic expression of mesoendodermal genes. Taken together, ZFP462 confers lineage- and locus-specificity to the broadly expressed epigenetic regulator G9A/GLP. Our results suggest that aberrant activation of lineage non-specific genes in the neuronal lineage underlies ZNF462-associated neurodevelopmental pathology.

Genome-wide maps of nuclear lamina interactions in AML12 cells upon G9a/GLP inhibition [DamID]

Project description:In differentiated cells, inhibition of methyltransferases G9a and GLP eliminated H3K9me2 predominantly at A-type genomic compartments, and the remaining H3K9me2 marks were strongly associated with B-type compartments and lamina-associated domains (LADs). However, inhibition of G9a/GLP in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) removed most of the H3K9me2 modifications in both A and B compartments. Furthermore, chemical inhibition of G9a/GLP in mouse hepatocytes decreased chromatin-nuclear lamina (NL) interactions, increased the degree of genomic compartmentalization and the boundary strength of topologically associating domains (TADs) between A and B compartments, and altered the expression of hundreds of genes that were associated with alterations of chromatin structure.

Unexpected distinct roles of the related histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferases G9a and G9a-Like Protein in myoblasts

Project description:Lysine methyltransferases G9a and GLP (G9a- Like Protein) form functional heterodimeric complexes that establish mono- and dimethylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me1, H3K9me2) in euchromatin. Here we describe unexpected opposite individual roles for G9a and GLP during skeletal muscle terminal differentiation. Indeed, gain- or loss-of-function assays in myoblasts showed that in consistency with previous reports that G9a inhibits terminal differentiation. But GLP plays a more complicated role in muscle differentiation since both knockdown and overexpression inhibits terminal differentiation. Unexpectedly, in contrast to G9a, we show that GLP overexpression promotes abnormal expression of muscle differentiationspecific genes in proliferating myoblasts. Transcriptomic analysis indicates that G9a and GLP regulate different sets of genes. GLP, but not G9a, inhibits at the transcriptional level proteasome subunit-encoding genes resulting in an inhibition of the proteasome activities. Subsequently, GLP, but not G9a, overexpression stabilizes MyoD that is likely to be responsible for muscle markers expression in proliferating myoblasts.
