A histone mimic within DNA Ligase 1 links DNA replication and DNA remethylation: a revised model for the maintenance of DNA methylation by UHRF (RRBS)

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic mark in mammals, and its pattern has to be re-established after each round of DNA replication. The protein UHRF1 is known to be necessary for this process, but its mode of action is unclear. Using proteomics, we havefound that a replication factor, DNA Ligase 1 (LIG1), is a direct interactor of UHRF1. The interaction is mediated bythe Tudor domain of UHRF1 and an H3K9-like histone mimic within LIG1. This mimic ismethylated on a conserved lysine by the enzymes G9a and GLP, and outcompetes H3K9me3 for UHRF1 binding. Lastly, the interaction with LIG1 promotes the recruitment of UHRF1 to sites of DNA replication and is required for DNA methylation maintenance. These results clarify UHRF1 activity, identify a new non-histone target of G9a and GLP, and provide the first example of a histone mimic that coordinates DNA replication and DNA remethylation

H3K9 methyltransferase G9a negatively regulates UHRF1 transdcription during leukemia cell differentiation.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications of histone N-terminal tails influence the status of chromatin and eventually control the transcriptional outcome of a particular gene. As a histone H3K9 methyltransferase (HMTase) in higher eukaryotes, G9a-mediated transcriptional repression is the major epigenetic silencing machinery. UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains I) binds to hemi-methylated DNA and plays essential role in maintenance of DNA methylation by recruiting DNMT1. Here, we provide evidence that UHRF1 is transcriptionally downregulated by H3K9 HMTase G9a. We found that increased expression of G9a along with transcription factor YY1 specifically represses UHRF1 transcription. We uncovered showed that G9a regulates UHRF1-mediated H3K23 ubiquitylation and proper DNA replication maintenance by FACS analysis and propose that H3K9 HMTase G9a is a specific epigenetic regulator of UHRF1.

Unchanged PCNA and DNMT1 dynamics during replication in DNA ligase I-deficient cells but abnormal chromatin levels of non-replicative histone H1

Project description:DNA ligase I (LigI), the predominant enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments, interacts with PCNA and Pol d. LigI also interacts with UHRF1, linking Okazaki fragment joining with DNA maintenance methylation. Okazaki fragments can also be joined by a relatively poorly characterized DNA ligase IIIa (LigIIIa)-dependent backup pathway. Here we examined the effect of LigI-deficiency on proteins at the replication fork. Notably, LigI-deficiency did not alter the kinetics of association of the PCNA clamp, the leading strand polymerase Pol e, DNA maintenance methylation proteins and core histones with newly synthesized DNA. While the absence of major changes in replication and methylation proteins is consistent with the similar proliferation rate and DNA methylation levels of the LIG1 null cells compared with the parental cells, the increased levels of LigIIIa/XRCC1 and Pol d at the replication fork and in bulk chromatin indicate that there are subtle replication defects in the absence of LigI. Interestingly, the non-replicative histone H1 variant, H1.0, is present in the chromatin of LigI-deficient mouse and human cells. This alteration was not corrected by expression of wild type LigI, suggesting that it is a stable epigenetic change that may contribute to the immunodeficiencies linked with inherited LigI-deficiency syndrome.

Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric control of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.

The Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methyltransferases G9a and GLP Regulate Polycomb Repressive Complex 2-Mediated Gene Silencing [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:G9a/GLP and Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) are two major epigenetic silencing machineries, which in particular methylate histone H3 on lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27), respectively. Although evidence of a crosstalk between H3K9 and H3K27 methylations has started to emerge, their actual interplay remains elusive. Here, we show that PRC2 and G9a/GLP interact physically and functionally. Moreover, combining different genome-wide approaches, we demonstrate that Ezh2 and G9a/GLP share an important number of common genomic targets, encoding developmental and neuronal regulators. Furthermore, we show that G9a enzymatic activity modulates PRC2 genomic recruitment to a subset of its target genes. Taken together, our findings demonstrate an unanticipated interplay between two main histone lysine methylation mechanisms, which cooperate to maintain silencing of a subset of developmental genes. ChIP-seq has been performed for G9a and Ezh2 in wild type TT2 mES cells or in mES cells lacking both G9a and GLP (G9a-/-GLP-/-). As a control, input DNA was saved before immunoprecipitation. Note that the two inputs (Input_TT2_0 and Input_TT2_1) have been combined and used as control for Ezh2 and G9a ChIP-seq.

Identification of proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP (EHMT2/EHMT1) complex of histone methyltransferases

Project description:G9a (EHMT2) and the G9a-like protein GLP (EHMT1) form a stable G9a/GLP heterodimer in embryonic stem cells and function cooperatively to establish and maintain the abundant repressive H3K9me2 modification, in addition to modifying several non-histone proteins. The G9a-dependent H3K9me2 is implicated in lineage-specific gene silencing and covers large chromosomal domains. While the mechanism of H3K9me2maintenance by G9a/GLP is known, how new patterns of this modification are established is not well understood. With this in mind, we used FLAG affinity purification of G9a under two different stringency conditions (150 and 300 mM NaCl) coupled with mass spectrometry to identify proteins stably associated with G9a/GLP, which could serve as potential recruiters of the complex to unmodified chromatin.

DNA methylation analysis of HCT116 after disruption of methyllysine reading and writing.

Project description:The chromatin-binding E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) maintains DNA methylation patterning in cancer cells through multivalent histone and DNA recognition. The tandem Tudor domain (TTD) of UHRF1 is well-characterized as a reader of lysine 9 di- and tri-methylation on histone H3 (H3K9me2/me3) and, more recently, lysine 126 di- and tri- methylation on DNA ligase 1 (LIG1K126me2/me3). However, the functional significance and selectivity of these interactions remains unclear. In this study, we used protein domain microarrays to search for additional readers of LIG1K126me2, the preferred methyl state bound by the UHRF1 TTD. We show that the UHRF1 TTD binds LIG1K126me2 with high affinity and selectivity compared to other known methyllysine readers. Notably, and unlike H3K9me2/me3, the UHRF1 plant homeodomain (PHD) and its N-terminal linker (L2) do not contribute to multivalent LIG1K126me2 recognition along with the TTD. To test the functional significance of this interaction, we designed a LIG1K126me2 cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). Consistent with LIG1 knockdown in somatic cells, uptake of the CPP had no effect on the DNA methylation maintenance function of UHRF1. Further, we did not detect changes in bulk DNA methylation after chemical or genetic disruption of lysine methyltransferase activity. Collectively, these studies identify UHRF1 as a selective reader of LIG1K126me2 in vitro, implicate the UHRF1 TTD as a dispensable domain for DNA methylation maintenance, and call into question existing models of methyllysine-dependent DNA methylation maintenance in somatic cancer cells.

Histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk involving UHRF1 and SUV39H1/2 reinforces heterochromatin states in response to DNA hypomethylation

Project description:Histone H3 mono-ubiquitination, catalyzed by the RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1, is appreciated as a docking site for DNMT1 during DNA replication to facilitate DNA methylation maintenance. Its functions beyond this are unknown. Here, we identify simultaneous increases in UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub and SUV39H1/2-dependent H3K9me3 as prominent epigenetic alterations accompanying DNA hypomethylation induced by DNMT1 inhibition. Integrative epigenomics analyses reveal that transient accumulation of hemi-methylated DNA, resulting from incomplete DNA methylation maintenance, stimulates UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub at CpG islands that nucleates new domains of H3K9me3 and impedes PRC2 activity in these genomic regions. Notably, H3K18ub enhances the methyltransferase activity of SUV39H1/2, leading to increased H3K9me3 at these CpG island promoters. Blocking H3K18ub-dependent SUV39H1/2 activity enhances the efficacy of DNMT1 inhibitors. Collectively, these findings reveal a novel histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk mechanism that reinforces heterochromatin states in the absence of DNA methylation and proposes new strategies for improving cancer epigenetic therapy.

Investigation of the role of histone modification propagating activity of GLP

Project description:We use ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to profile the H3K9me2 modification and transcription under different conditions of GLP activity. GLP and G9a are major H3K9 dimethylases, and are essential for mouse early embryonic development. Here we report that GLP and G9a possess intrinsic histone methylation propagating activities. The histone methyltransferase activities of GLP and G9a are stimulated by neighboring nucleosomes pre-methylated at H3K9. These stimulation events function in cis and are dependent on H3K9 methylation binding activities of ankyrin repeats domains in GLP and G9a. In mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) harboring a mutant GLP lacking H3K9 methylation propagating activity, pluripotent genes display a delayed kinetics in establishing H3K9 methylation and gene silencing during differentiation. Disruption of the H3K9 methylation propagating activity of GLP in mice causes growth retardation of the embryos, ossification defects of calvaria and early postnatal lethality. We propose that GLP¡¯s ability to rapidly propagate H3K9 methylation is required for efficient gene silencing during programmed cell fate transition. H3K9me2 and H3K9me1 are ChIPped and sequenced in WT mESC and GLP-mutant mESCs, and RNA-Seq was done for those cells as well.
