5-hydroxymethylcytosine Accumulation in Postmitotic Neurons Results in Functional Demethylation of Expressed Genes [MethylC-Seq and oxBS-Seq]

ABSTRACT: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) occurs at maximal levels in postmitotic neurons where its accumulation is cell specific and correlated with gene expression. Here we demonstrate that the distribution of 5hmC in CG and non-CG dinucleotides is distinct, and that it reflects the binding specificity and genome occupancy of methylcytosine binding protein 2 (MeCP2). In expressed gene bodies, accumulation of 5hmCG acts in opposition to 5mCG resulting in “functional” demethylation and diminished MeCP2 binding, thus facilitating transcription. Non-CG hydroxymethylation occurs predominantly in CA dinucleotides (5hmCA) and it accumulates in regions flanking active enhancers. In these domains, oxidation of 5mCA to 5hmCA does not alter MeCP2 binding or expression of adjacent genes. We conclude that the role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in postmitotic neurons is to functionally demethylate expressed gene bodies while retaining the role of MeCP2 in chromatin organization.

5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) increase CREB1 binding to the C/EBP half-site GCAA

Project description:In human and mouse stem cells and brain, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) can occur outside of CG dinucleotides. Using protein binding microarrays (PBMs) containing 60-mer DNA probes, we evaluated the effect of 5mC and 5hmC on one DNA strand on the double-stranded DNA binding of the mouse B-ZIP transcription factors (TFs) CREB1, ATF1, and JUND. 5mC inhibited CREB1 binding to the canonical CRE half-site |GTCA, but increased binding to the C/EBP half-site |GCAA. 5hmC inhibited CREB1 binding to all 8-mers except TGAT|GCAA, where binding is enhanced. We observed similar DNA binding patterns with the closely related TF: ATF1. In contrast, both 5mC and 5hmC inhibited binding of JUND. These results identify new DNA sequences that are well-bound by CREB1 and ATF1 only when they contain 5mC or 5hmC. Analysis of two x-ray structures examines the consequences of 5mC and 5hmC on DNA binding by CREB and FOS|JUN.

The Epstein-Barr virus B-ZIP protein Zta recognizes specific DNA sequences containing 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine [Zta_5mC_5hmC]

Project description:The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) B-ZIP transcription factor (TF) Zta binds to many DNA sequences containing methylated CG dinucleotides. Using protein binding microarrays (PBMs), we analyzed the binding of Zta to four kinds of double-stranded DNA: 1) DNA containing cytosine on both strands, 2) DNA with 5-methylcytosine (5mC) on one strand and cytosine on the second strand, 3) DNA with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) on one strand and cytosine on the second strand, and 4) DNA where both cytosines in all CG dinucleotides contain 5mC. We compared the resulting data to PBM data for three other B-ZIP proteins (CREB1 and CEBPB homodimers, and cFos-cJun heterodimers). With cytosine, Zta binds the TRE motif TGAC/GTCA as previously reported. With CG dinucleotides containing 5mC on both strands, many TRE motif variants containing a methylated CG dinucleotide at two positions in the motif, such as MGAGTCA and TGAGMGA (where M=5mC) were preferentially bound. 5mC inhibits Zta binding to both TRE motif half sites GTCA and CTCA. Like the CREB1 homodimer, the Zta homodimer and the cJun|cFos heterodimer bind the C/EBP half site tetranucleotide GCAA stronger when it contains 5mC. Our results identify new DNA sequences that are well-bound by the viral B-ZIP protein Zta only when they contain 5mC or 5hmC, opening the potential for discovery of new viral and host regulatory programs controlled by EBV.

5-hydroxymethylcytosine is required for terminal differentiation of Purkinje neurons

Project description:Principal neurons in the mammalian brain exit cell cycle and execute a complex and prolonged differentiation program that continues into early adult life. Although high levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) accumulate in neurons, it is not known whether 5hmC can serve as an intermediate in DNA demethylation in postmitotic neurons. Here we report high resolution mapping of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, chromatin accessibility, and activating and repressive histone marks in developing postmitotic Purkinje cells (PCs). Our data reveal new relationships between PC transcriptional and epigenetic programs, and identify a class of late expressed genes that lose both 5mC and 5hmC during terminal differentiation. Deletion of the 5hmC writers Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 from postmitotic Purkinje cells prevents loss of 5mC and 5hmC in regulatory domains and gene bodies and hinders transcriptional and epigenetic developmental transitions, resulting in hyper-excitability and increased susceptibility to excitotoxic drugs. Our data demonstrate that Tet-mediated active DNA demethylation occurs in vivo, and that acquisition of the precise molecular and electrophysiological properties of adult PCs requires continued oxidation of 5mC to 5hmC during the final phases of differentiation.

MeCP2 binds to 5hmC enriched within active genes and accessible chromatin in the nervous system

Project description:The high level of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) present in neuronal genomes suggests that mechanisms interpreting 5hmC in the central nervous system (CNS) may differ from those present in embryonic stem cells. Here we present quantitative, genome-wide analysis of 5hmC, 5- methylcytosine (5mC) and gene expression in differentiated CNS cell types in vivo. We report that 5hmC is enriched in active genes, and that surprisingly strong depletion of 5mC is observed over these regions. The contribution of these epigenetic marks to gene expression depends critically on cell type. We identify methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) as the major 5hmC binding protein in the brain, and demonstrate that MeCP2 binds 5hmC and 5mC containing DNA with similar high affinities. The Rett Syndromecausing mutation R133C preferentially inhibits 5hmC binding. These findings support a model in which 5hmC and MeCP2 constitute a cell specific epigenetic mechanism for regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression.

Rest recruits neuronal Tet3 to induce chromatin remodeling and gene expression

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) hydroxylases (Tet1-3) oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). In neurons increased 5hmC levels within gene bodies correlate positively with gene expression. The mechanisms controlling Tet activity and 5hmC levels are poorly understood. In particular, it is not known how the neuronal Tet3 isoform lacking a DNA binding domain is targeted to the DNA. To identify factors binding to Tet3 we screened for proteins that co-precipitate with Tet3 from mouse retina and identified the transcriptional repressor Rest as a highly enriched Tet3-specific interactor. Rest was able to enhance Tet3 hydroxylase activity after co-expression and overexpression of Tet3 activated transcription of Rest-target genes. Moreover, we found that Tet3 also interacts with Nsd3 and two other H3K36 methyltransferases and is able to induce H3K36 trimethylation. We propose a mechanism for transcriptional activation in neurons that involves Rest-guided targeting of Tet3 to the DNA for directed 5hmC-generation and Nsd3-mediated H3K36 trimethylation.
