Project description:SAGA is a modular cofactor complex that is essential for eukaryotic transcription. SAGA’s complement of ~20 proteins exist within four structurally and functionally distinct modules, two of which are catalytic. Within the KAT module, GCN5 acetylates histone tails, leading to increased chromatin accessibility and bromodomain protein recruitment. The DUB module contains the ubiquitin hydrolase USP22. In yeast, the USP22 ortholog deubiquitylates H2B, resulting in Pol II S2 phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional elongation. We report here that metazoan SAGA, and USP22 specifically, are required at a more proximal stage in activator-driven transcription, i.e. pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly. A combination of genome-wide and proteomic analyses revealed that H2B deubiquitylation is not linked to USP22-dependent transcription. Instead, USP22 controls Mediator tail subunit ubiquitylation. Mechanistically, USP22 controls loading of Mediator tail and GTFs onto promoters, with Mediator core recruitment being USP22-independent. These findings place human SAGA function at the earliest steps in activator-driven transcription.

Project description:The SAGA coactivator complex is essential for eukaryotic transcription and comprises four distinct modules, one of which contains the ubiquitin hydrolase USP22. In yeast, the USP22 ortholog deubiquitylates H2B, resulting in Pol II Ser2 phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional elongation. In contrast to this H2B-associated role in transcription, we report here that human USP22 contributes to the early stages of stimulus-responsive transcription, where USP22 is required for pre-initiation complex (PIC) stability. Specifically, USP22 maintains long-range enhancer-promoter contacts and controls loading of Mediator tail and general transcription factors (GTFs) onto promoters, with Mediator core recruitment being USP22-independent. In addition, we identify Mediator tail subunits MED16 and MED24 and the Pol II subunit RBP1 as potential non-histone substrates of USP22. Overall, these findings define a role for human SAGA within the earliest steps of transcription.

Project description:Within the context of the DUB module in the SAGA complex, USP22 is involved in transcriptional elongation through the regulation of H2AK119ub1 and H2BK120ub1. However, up till now, the spectrum of USP22-regulated target genes largely remains unclear, partially due to organism-, cell- and context-dependent redundancy in alternative DUBs that might compensate for loss of USP22. To understand which genes are regulated by USP22, we profiled USP22-dependent changes in gene expression in the human intestinal epithelial cell (hIEC) line HT-29.

Project description:USP22 overexpression is observed in several human cancers and is correlated with poor patient outcomes. The molecular basis underlying this correlation is not clear. USP22 is the catalytic subunit of the deubiquitylation module in the SAGA histone modifying complex, which regulates gene transcription. Our previous work demonstrated that loss of USP22 in mice leads to decreased expression of several components of receptor tyrosine kinase and TGFβ signaling pathways. To determine whether these pathways are upregulated when USP22 is overexpressed, we created a mouse model that expresses high levels of USP22 in all tissues. Phenotypic characterization of these mice revealed over branching of the mammary glands in females. Transcriptomic analyses indicate upregulation of key pathways involved in mammary gland branching in mammary epithelial cells derived from the USP22 overexpressing mice, including estrogen receptor, ERK/MAPK and TGFβ signaling. However, USP22 overexpression did not lead to increased tumorigenesis in any tissue. Our findings indicate that elevated levels of USP22 are not sufficient to induce tumors but it may enhance signaling abnormalities associated with oncogenesis.

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by overexpressing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC. Although this cell fate transition is a slow and inefficient process, inhibiting several epigenetic barriers has shown to facilitate it. A previously employed epigenetic focused CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockout screen during reprogramming uncovered novel human somatic cell reprogramming barriers. Here, I showed that USP22, target for gRNAs that were enriched in iPSCs from the screen, is a barrier for reprogramming and its loss is compatible with iPSC generation. Overexpressing wild-type or deubiquitinase mutant (C185A) USP22 in knockout background could rescue the phenotype. Additionally, knocking out other SAGA deubiquitinase subunits, ENY2 and ATXN7L3 did not increase the reprogramming efficiency. Mechanistically, we showed that USP22 loss upregulates an important pluripotency-related transcription factor, SOX2, expression even as early as 3 days after OSKM expression. We hypothesized that USP22 downregulates pluripotency-related gene expression during reprogramming independent from its SAGA integration and deubiquitinase activity. To address this, I will repeat rescuing USP22 knockout phenotype in reprogramming by overexpressing mutant versions of USP22 including K129R (acetyl inhibited) and HHAA (deubiqutinase). Additionally, I will check the expression of pluripotency-related genes at early time points of reprogramming upon USP22 knockout by transcriptome profiling. Lastly, I will generate USP22 knockout iPSC lines to force them to differentiation to observe if they have any problem with pluripotency exit. This work will establish a mechanistic understanding for the role USP22 play on both human somatic cell reprogramming, pluripotency and differentiation.

Project description:Dynamic control of ubiquitination by deubiquitinating enzymes is essential for almost all biological processes. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) is part of the SAGA complex and catalyzes the removal of monoubiquitination from histone H2B, thereby regulating gene transcription. However, novel roles for USP22 have recently emerged, such as tumor development and cell death. Apart from apoptosis, the relevance of USP22 in other programmed cell death pathways still remains unclear. Here, we describe a novel role for USP22 in controlling necroptotic cell death in a variety of tumor cell lines. Loss of USP22 expression significantly delays TNF/Smac mimetic/zVAD.fmk (TBZ)-induced necroptosis, without affecting TNF-mediated NF-B activation or extrinsic apoptosis. Mass-spectrometric ubiquitin remnant profiling identified lysine 518 of Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) as USP22-dependent ubiquitination target during necroptosis induction. Mutation of K518 in RIPK3 reduced necroptosisassociated RIPK3 ubiquitination and amplified necrosome formation and necroptotic cell death. In conclusion, we identify a novel role of USP22 in necroptosis and further elucidate the relevance of ubiquitination as crucial regulator of necroptotic cell death.
