EPOP Functionally Links Elongin and Polycomb in Pluripotent Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: The cellular plasticity of pluripotent stem cells is thought to be sustained by genomic regions that display both active and repressive chromatin properties. These regions exhibit low levels of gene expression, yet the mechanisms controlling these levels remain unknown. Here, we describe Elongin BC as a binding factor at the promoters of bivalent sites. Biochemical and genome-wide analysis shows that Elongin BC is associated with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) in pluripotent stem cells. Elongin BC is recruited to chromatin by the PRC2-associated factor EPOP (Elongin- and POlycomb-associated Protein, also termed C17orf96, esPRC2p48, E130012A19Rik), a protein expressed in the inner cell mass of the mouse blastocyst. Both EPOP and Elongin BC are required to maintain low levels of expression at PRC2 genomic targets. Our results indicate that keeping the balance between activating and repressive cues is a more general feature of chromatin in pluripotent stem cells than previously appreciated.

EPOP interacts with Elongin BC and USP7 to modulate the chromatin landscape (EPOP KO)

Project description:Gene regulatory networks are pivotal for many biological processes. In mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) the transcriptional network can be divided into three functionally distinct modules: Polycomb, Core and Myc. The Polycomb module represses developmental genes, while the Myc module is associated with proliferative functions and its mis-regulation is linked to cancer development. Here, we show that in mESCs the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) associated protein EPOP (a.k.a C17orf96, esPRC2p48, E130012A19Rik) co-localizes at chromatin with members of the Myc and Polycomb module. EPOP interacts with the transcription elongation factor Elongin BC and the H2B deubiquitinase USP7 to modulate transcriptional processes in mESCs similar to MYC. EPOP is commonly up-regulated in human cancer and we demonstrate that its loss impairs the proliferation of several human cancer cell lines. Our findings establish EPOP as a unique modulator of transcriptional processes, impacting both Polycomb and active gene transcription in mammalian cells.

The PRC2-associated factor C17orf96 is a novel CpG island regulator in mouse ES cells

Project description:CpG islands (CGIs) are key DNA regulatory elements in the vertebrate genome and are often found at gene promoters. In mammalian embryonic stem (ES) cells, CGIs are decorated by either the active or repressive histone marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, respectively, or by both modifications (‘bivalent domains’), but their precise regulation is incompletely understood. Remarkably, we find that the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-associated protein C17orf96 (a.k.a. esPRC2p48 and E130012A19Rik) is present at most CGIs in mouse ES cells. At PRC2-rich CGIs, loss of C17orf96 results in an increased chromatin binding of Suz12 and elevated H3K27me3 levels concomitant with gene repression. In contrast, at PRC2-poor CGIs, located at actively transcribed genes, C17orf96 colocalizes with RNA polymerase II and its depletion leads to a focusing of H3K4me3 in the core of CGIs. Our findings thus identify C17orf96 as a novel context-dependent CGI regulator. ChIP-seq of C17orf96, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in mouse ES cells (E14).

Peptide-mediated inhibition of the transcriptional regulator Elongin BC induces apoptosis in cancer cells

Project description:Inhibition of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) via designed peptides is an effective strategy to perturb their biological functions. The Elongin BC heterodimer (ELOB/C) binds to a BC-box motif and is essential for cancer cell growth. Here, we report a peptide that mimics the high-affinity BC-box of the PRC2-associated protein EPOP. This peptide tightly binds to the ELOB/C dimer (kD = 0.46 ± 0.02 nM) and blocks the association of ELOB/C with its interaction partners, both in vitro and in the cellular environment. Cancer cells treated with our peptide inhibitor showed decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, and perturbed gene expression. Therefore, our work proposes that blocking the BC-box-binding pocket of ELOB/C is a feasible strategy to impair its function and inhibit cancer cell growth. Our peptide inhibitor promises novel mechanistic insights into the biological function of the ELOB/C dimer and offers a starting point for therapeutics linked to ELOB/C dysfunction.

LFQMS of RING2 (RING1B, RNF2) immunoprecipitation from MDA-MB-231 and T47D breast cancer cells

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex PRC1 is essential for gene regulation in numerous cell fate decisions. We show that RING1B (RING2, RNF2) and canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) genes are amplified and overexpressed in breast cancer (BC). Moreover, cPRC1 complexes functionally associate with genes regulated by cell type specific key transcription factors such as estrogen receptor (ER) in ER+ tumor cells and BRD4 in triple negative BC cells. cPRC1 is recruited to active enhancers in a manner independent of PRC2 and RING1B enzymatic activity. RING1B regulates enhancer activity and gene transcription not only by promoting the expression of BC oncogenes but also by regulating chromatin accessibility for oncogenic transcription factors. RING1B recruitment, and thus PRC1 association, to active enhancers occurs in multiple cancers.
