G9a and ZNF644 physically associate to suppress progenitor gene expression during neurogenesis

ABSTRACT: Proliferating progenitor cells undergo unidirectional changes in competence to give rise to post-mitotic progeny of specialized function. These transitions in cell fate typically involve the dynamic regulation of gene expression programs by histone methyltransferase (HMT) complexes. However, the composition, roles and regulation of these HMT complexes in regulating cell fate decisions in vivo are poorly understood. Using affinity purification and mass spectrometry (AP-MS), we identified the uncharacterized C2H2-like zinc finger (ZF) protein ZNF644, which is putatively causally linked to high-grade (degenerative) myopia, as a novel G9a/GLP-interacting protein and co-regulator of histone methylation. Using zebrafish embryos, we characterized the function of two ZNF644 orthologues, znf644a and znf644b, revealing critical neural- specific roles in regulating G9a/H3K9me2-mediated gene silencing in the retina. In addition, by virtue of additional non-overlapping requirements for znf644a and znf644b during retinal differentiation, we gained further insights regarding additional facets of retinal differentiation regulated by the G9a-ZNF644 physical association, such as maintaining retinal cell viability and in transitioning proliferating progenitor cells towards differentiation. Collectively, our data points to the G9a-ZNF644 physical interaction as a critical neural progenitor-specific co-factor of G9a/H3K9me2-mediated gene silencing during neuronal differentiation.

Histone H3K9 Methyltransferase G9a Represses PPARγ Expression and Adipogenesis [Affymetrix expression data]

Project description:PPARγ promotes adipogenesis while Wnt proteins inhibit adipogenesis. However, the mechanisms that control expression of these positive and negative master regulators of adipogenesis remain incompletely understood. By genome-wide histone methylation profiling in preadipocytes, we find that among gene loci encoding adipogenesis regulators, histone methyltransferase (HMT) G9a-mediated repressive epigenetic mark H3K9me2 is enriched on the entire PPARγ locus. H3K9me2 and G9a levels decrease during adipogenesis, which correlates inversely with induction of PPARγ. Removal of H3K9me2 by G9a deletion enhances chromatin opening and binding of adipogenic transcription factor C/EBP-beta to PPARγ promoter, which promotes PPARγ expression. Interestingly, G9a represses PPARγ expression in an HMT activity-dependent manner but facilitates Wnt10a expression independent of its enzymatic activity. Consistently, deletion of G9a or inhibiting G9a HMT activity promotes adipogenesis. Finally, deletion of G9a in mouse adipose tissues increases adipogenic gene expression and tissue weight. Thus, by inhibiting PPARγ expression and facilitating Wnt10a expression, G9a represses adipogenesis. Examination of gene expression changes in G9a KO brown preadipocytes

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.

The genomic distribution of G9a, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3 in cardiac hypertrophy.

Project description:The role of the histone methyltrasferase G9a (also known as Ehmt2) in the normal heart has not been studied extensively. To identify which genes were direct targets of G9a in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, we performed ChIP-seq for G9a and H3K9me2 – the main histone methylation catalysed by the HMT – on cardiomyocytes isolated from normal mice (sham) and mice subject to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 1 wk, a surgical procedure that causes cardiac hypertrophy following the induction of pressure overload. We considered the best G9a-bound genomic regions as those in which G9a and H3K9me2 peaks overlapped. Since G9a contributes to trimethylation of H3K27 at a set of developmental genes through its interaction with PRC2, we also evaluated whether G9a had an effect on the distribution of this histone mark in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. To this end, we performed ChIP-seq for H3K27me3 in CMs isolated from sham and TAC mice.

H3K9 dimethylation safeguards cancer cells against activation of the Interferon pathway [SUV39H1_ChIP-seq]

Project description:Activation of the interferon genes constitutes an important anticancer pathway, able to restrict proliferation of cancer cells. Here we demonstrate that the H3K9me3 histone methyl transferase (HMT) Suppressor Of Variegation 3-9 Homolog 1 (SUV39H1) is required for the proliferation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and find that its loss leads to activation of the interferon pathway. Mechanistically, we show that this occur via destabilization of a complex composed of SUV39H1 and the two H3K9me2 HMTs G9a and GLP. Indeed, loss of H3K9me2 correlated with the activation of key interferon pathway genes and interference with the activities of G9a/GLP largely phenocopied loss of SUV39H1. Finally, we demonstrated that inhibition of G9a/GLP synergized with DNA demethylating agents and that SUV39H1 constitutes a potential biomarker the response to hypomethylation treatment. Collectively, we uncovered a clinical relevant role for H3K9me2 in safeguarding cancer cells against activation of the interferon pathway.
