Project description:ATRX is a member of the SWI2/SNF2 family of chromatin remodeling proteins and primarily functions at heterochromatic loci via its recognition of M-bM-^@M-^XrepressiveM-bM-^@M-^Y histone modifications (e.g., H3K9me3). Despite significant roles for ATRX during normal neural development, as well as its relationship to human disease, ATRX function in the central nervous system is not well understood. Here, we describe ATRXM-bM-^@M-^Ys ability to recognize an activity-dependent combinatorial histone modification, H3K9me3S10ph, in post-mitotic neurons. In neurons, this M-bM-^@M-^\methyl/phosM-bM-^@M-^] switch occurs exclusively following periods of stimulation and is highly enriched at heterochromatic repeats associated with centromeres. Using a multifaceted approach, we reveal that H3K9me3S10ph bound Atrx represses non-coding transcription of centromeric minor satellite sequences during instances of heightened activity. Our results indicate an essential interaction between ATRX and a previously uncharacterized histone modification in the central nervous system and suggest a potential role for abnormal repetitive element transcription in pathological states manifested by ATRX dysfunction. For Atrx ChIP-seq, IPs were performed on three control vs. three KCl stimulated (all representing biological, and not technical replicates) primary cultured mouse cortical neurons at DIV 8. All samples were normalized to background input levels. For H3K9me3S10phos ChIP-seq, biological singlecates (control vs. forskolin) were analyzed against respective inputs.

Project description:The chromatin remodeller ATRX interacts with the histone chaperone DAXX, to deposit the histone variant H3.3 at sites of nucleosome turnover. ATRX is known to bind repetitive, heterochromatic regions of the genome including telomeres, ribosomal DNA and pericentric repeats many of which are putative G-quadruplex forming sequences (PQS). At these sites ATRX plays an ancillary role in a wide range of nuclear processes facilitating replication, chromatin modification and transcription. Here, using an improved protocol for chromatin immunoprecipitation, we show that ATRX also binds active regulatory elements in euchromatin. Mutations in ATRX lead to perturbation of gene expression associated with a reduction in chromatin accessibility, histone modification, transcription factor binding and deposition of H3.3 at the sequences to which it normally binds. In erythroid cells where down regulation of a-globin expression is a hallmark of ATR-X syndrome, perturbation of chromatin accessibility and gene expression occurs in only a subset of cells. The stochastic nature of this process suggests that ATRX acts as a general facilitator of cell specific transcriptional and epigenetic programmes, both in heterochromatin and euchromatin.
