Project description:Here, through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screenings, we identified GAS41, a well-known histone reader as a major repressor for ferroptosis. GAS41 interacts with NRF2 and is critical for NRF2 to activate its targets such as SLC7A11 for modulating ferroptosis. By recognizing the H3K27-acetylation (H3K27-ac) marker, GAS41 is recruited to the SLC7A11 promoter independent of NRF2 binding. Notably, by bridging the interaction between NRF2 and the H3K27-ac marker, GAS41 acts as an anchor for NRF2 on chromatin in a promoter-specific manner for transcriptional activation. Moreover, the GAS41-mediated effect on ferroptosis contributes significantly to its oncogenic role in vivo. These data demonstrate that GAS41 is an important target for modulating tumor growth through ferroptosis. Our study reveals a previously unanticipated mechanism for GAS41-mediated regulation in transcription by anchoring NRF2 on chromatin and provides a model that the DNA binding activity on chromatin by transcriptional factors (NRF2) can be directly regulated by histone markers (H3K27-ac).

Project description:Higher order chromosome structure and nuclear architecture can have profound effects on gene regulation. We analyzed how compartmentalizing the genome by tethering heterochromatic regions to the nuclear lamina affects dosage compensation in the nematode C. elegans. In this organism, the dosage compensation complex (DCC) binds both X chromosomes of hermaphrodites to repress transcription two-fold, thus balancing gene expression between XX hermaphrodites and XO males. X chromosome structure is disrupted by mutations in DCC subunits. Using X chromosome paint fluorescence microscopy, we found that X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are also disrupted when the mechanisms that anchor heterochromatin to the nuclear lamina are defective. Strikingly, the heterochromatic left end of the X chromosome is less affected than the gene-rich middle region, which lacks heterochromatic anchors. These changes in X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are accompanied by small, but significant levels of derepression of X-linked genes as measured by RNA-seq, without any observable defects in DCC localization and DCC-mediated changes in histone modifications. We propose a model in which heterochromatic tethers on the left arm of the X cooperate with the DCC to compact and peripherally relocate the X chromosomes, contributing to gene repression.

Project description:Higher order structure of interphase chromosomes and their spatial organization within the nucleus can have profound effects on regulation of gene expression. We show how compartmentalizing the genome by tethering heterochromatic regions to the nuclear lamina can affect gene expression during C. elegans dosage compensation. In this organism, the dosage compensation complex (DCC) binds both X chromosomes of hermaphrodites to repress gene expression two-fold, thus balancing gene expression between XX hermaphrodites and XO males. X chromosome structure is disrupted by mutations in DCC subunits. We found that X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are also disrupted when the mechanisms that anchor heterochromatin to the nuclear lamina are defective. Strikingly, the heterochromatic left end of the X chromosome is less affected than the gene-rich middle region which lacks heterochromatic anchors. Our results suggest a model in which tethers at the left of the chromosome nucleate formation of a compact structure, which, by the action of the DCC, is propagated to the rest of the chromosome. These changes in X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are accompanied by small, but significant levels of derepression of X-linked genes, without any observable defects in DCC localization and DCC-mediated changes in histone modification.

Project description:Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin preferentially localizes at the nuclear periphery, but, despite this, certain budding yeast genes relocate to the nuclear periphery following gene activation, implicating the nuclear envelope in both transcriptional activation and silencing. It is unclear how these distinct chromatin domains are established, maintained and distinguished from one another at the nuclear envelope. Here we report that nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) facilitate the transition between chromatin states by providing a platform to which chromatin-remodeling and chromatin-modifying complexes bind. In particular, we show that the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex associates with NPCs and that the nucleoporin Nup170p nucleates heterochromatin formation at telomeres through recruitment of Sir4p. Deletion of NUP170 altered subtelomeric chromatin structure, reduced SIR complex binding at telomeres, impaired telomeric silencing and abated telomere tethering. These results support a model in which telomeric heterochromatin formation occurs through telomere-NPC interactions that both promote Sir4p binding at telomeres and permit chromatin-remodeling complexes to mediate the transition between chromatin states.

Project description:The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has dual roles in nucleocytoplasmic transport and chromatin organisation. In many eukaryotes the coiled coil Mlp/Tpr proteins of the NPC nuclear basket have specific roles in interactions with chromatin and defining specialised regions of active transcription, while Mlp2 associates with the mitotic spindle in a cell-cycle dependent manner. We previously identified two putative Mlp-related proteins in African trypanosomes, TbNup110 and TbNup92, the latter of which associates with the spindle. We now provide evidence for independent ancestry for TbNup92/TbNup110 and Mlp/Tpr proteins. However, TbNup92 is required for correct chromosome segregation, with knockout cells exhibiting microaneuploidy and low fidelity telomere segregation. Further, TbNup92 is intimately associated with the mitotic spindle and spindle anchor site, but apparently has minimal roles in the control of gene transcription, indicating that TbNup92 lacks major barrier activity. TbNup92 therefore acts as a functional analog of Mlp/Tpr proteins, and together with the lamina analog NUP-1, represents a cohort of novel proteins operating at the nuclear periphery of trypanosomes, uncovering complex evolutionary trajectories for the NPC and nuclear lamina.

Project description:The nuclear scaffold/matrix provides an anchor for higher order genome structure that has both structural and functional implications. Different extraction protocols, i.e., utilizing either 25 mM LIS or 2 M NaCl, isolate somewhat different protein constituents of either the nuclear scaffold or nuclear matrix respectively. We have mapped, by array CGH, the locations of attachment to each of these residual protein bodies relative to non-attached DNA along the entire length of human chromosomes 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 in HeLa cells. LIS or 2 M NaCl solutions followed by restriction digestion with EcoR1 facilitates the separation from scaffold/matrix bound DNA from non bound DNA. Genomic CGH arrays were used to map the relative differences between attached (scaffold/matrix) and non-attached (loop) portions of HeLa DNA. The expression profile of the HeLa cells used for aCGH analysis was also determined.
