Zic2, an enhancer-binding factor required for embryonic stem cell specification

ABSTRACT: The Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2 (Zic2) is one of the vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila pair-rule gene odd-paired (opa). Our molecular and biochemical studies have demonstrated that Zic2 to preferentially bind to transcriptional enhancers and functions as a cofactor that interacts with the NuRD complex in ES cells. Detailed genome-wide studies demonstrate that Zic2 function with Mbd3/NuRD in regulating the chromatin state and transcriptional output of genes linked to differentiation. Zic2 is dispensable for the selfrenewal of ES cells but is required for proper differentiation, similar to what has been previously reported for Mbd3/NuRD. Our study identifies Zic2 as a key factor in the execution of the pluripotency program with Mbd3/NuRD in ES cells.

Opa is a late-acting, pioneer factor that coordinates with Zelda to broadly regulate gene expression in early embryos (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq)

Project description:Pioneer factors such as Zelda initiate zygotic transcription within Drosophila early embryos, but whether other factors also support this dynamic patterning process is unclear. Odd-paired (Opa) is a zinc-finger transcription factor expressed during cellularization, shown to act as timing factor to control pair-rule to segmental patterning transition along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis. We found Opa regulates expression through an enhancer active along the dorso-ventral axis (sog_Distal), specifically, to support its late embryonic expression. Opa chromatin immunoprecipitation identified occupancy at this enhancer sequence as well widespread binding throughout the genome, comparable to Zelda. Furthermore, chromatin assays (ATAC-seq) demonstrate that Opa, like Zelda, influences accessibility and has both common as well as distinct target sequences. opa mutants also exhibit DV and AP patterning changes suggesting Opa acts broadly. This study suggests Opa is a late-acting, pioneer factor whose action follows Zelda to herald in a second wave of zygotic gene expression. NIH Grants R35GM118146 and R03HD097535 to A.S.

Stoichiometry of MBD2 vs. MBD3-NuRD

Project description:To obtain a comprehensive and quantitative view on MBD2 vs MBD3-NuRD complex stoichiometry, we performed biotin co-immunoprecipitations in Mbd3 KO ES cells expressing either biotin-tagged MBD2a or MBD3a and identified known NuRD complex members using label-free mass spectrometry (Supplementary Fig. 8b-c). We then calculated the intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) values of the most predominant and statistically significant MBD-interacting proteins in both cell lines, which can be used to estimate the relative abundance. While we observe very similar complex composition between MBD2a-NuRD and MBD3a-NuRD, peptides shared between SALL1-4 proteins show a preferred interaction with the MBD2a-NuRD complex.

NuRD-mediated gene repression in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:To obtain a global view of NuRD-mediated transcriptional regulation, gene expression profiles of wild-type and Mbd3-null ES cells were compared by microarray analysis. In the absence of Mbd3, which encodes a core structural component of NuRD, the complex does not form and embryonic development stalls at the implantation stage.

Transcriptional profiling of Mbd3 knockout and wild-type embryonic stem cells

Project description:RNA-seq was performed for transcriptional analysis of wild-type mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and an Mbd3 knockout line. Mbd3 is a core component of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation (NuRD) complex, which modulates transcriptional heterogeneity and pluripotency gene expression in ES cells.

Opa is a late-acting, pioneer factor that coordinates with Zelda to broadly regulate gene expression in early embryos (ATAC-seq, RNA-seq)

Project description:Pioneer factors such as Zelda (Zld) help initiate zygotic transcription in Drosophila early embryos, but whether other factors support this dynamic process is unclear. Odd-paired (Opa), a zinc-finger transcription factor expressed at cellularization, controls the transition of genes from pair-rule to segmental patterns along the anterior-posterior axis. Finding that Opa also regulates expression through enhancer sog_Distal along the dorso-ventral axis, we hypothesized Opa’s role is more general. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) confirmed its in vivo binding to sog_Distal but also identified widespread binding throughout the genome, comparable to Zld. Furthermore, chromatin assays (ATAC-seq) demonstrate that Opa, like Zld, influences chromatin accessibility genome-wide at cellularization, suggesting both are pioneer factors with common as well as distinct targets. Lastly, embryos lacking opa exhibit widespread, late patterning defects spanning both axes. Collectively, these data suggest Opa is a general timing factor and likely late-acting pioneer factor that drives a secondary wave of zygotic gene expression contributor: Theodora Koromila (ATAC-seq-RNA-seq) contributor: Fan Gao (Bioinformatic analysis) contributor: Angelike Stathopoulos (PI) contributor: Peng He (Bioinformatic analysis)

A key role for Mbd3 in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine-dependent gene regulation in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Numerous chromatin regulators are required for embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal and pluripotency, but few have been studied in detail. Here, we examine the roles of several chromatin regulators whose loss affects the pluripotent state of ES cells. We find that Mbd3 and Brg1 antagonistically regulate a common set of genes by regulating promoter-proximal nucleosome occupancy and recruitment of RNA polymerase II. Furthermore, both Mbd3 and Brg1 play key roles in the biology of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC): Mbd3 colocalizes with both Tet1 and 5hmC in vivo, its localization is Tet1-dependent, and binding of Mbd3/NURD to DNA in vitro is inhibited by methylcytosine, but not hydroxymethylcytosine. Finally, both Mbd3 and Brg1 are themselves required for normal levels of 5hmC in vivo. Together, our results identify an effector for 5hmC, and reveal that control of gene expression by antagonistic chromatin regulators is a surprisingly common regulatory strategy in ES cells. Genomic binding profiles of Mbd3 in normal ES cells, along with ES cells depleted of additional chromatin regulators, Brg1 and Tet1 were performed by ChIP-seq. In addition, we performed mapping of RNA Polymerase II in control (EGFP), Mbd3 and Brg1 knockdown ES cells by ChIP-seq.

Effects of MBD3 depletion on nucleosome occupancy in MCF-7 cells

Project description:We and others have identified that MBD3/NuRD localizes at active promoters and enhancers, suggesting an active role of NuRD at open chromatin region. Because NuRD includes nucleosome remodelers, CHD3 and CHD4, we hypothesized that NuRD regulates nucleosome organization at open chromatin region. To test this idea, we performed micrococcal nuclease digestion followed by massively parallel sequencing (MNase-seq) in MBD3 knockdowned MCF-7 cells. We observed the decrease of nucleosome occupancy at promoters and enhancers in MBD3 knockdowned cells. Our results suggest a regulatory role of MBD3/NuRD at open chromatin region. Mapped nucleosome positioning in control (shLuc) and MBD3 knockdowned MCF-7 cells, in duplicate.
