Physical and functional screening of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 highlights novel regulators of histone H3 lysine 27 methylation status

ABSTRACT: Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) is a multi-protein epigenetic regulator complex that plays critical roles in early development and tissue differentiation. The complex catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). The tri-methyl state (H3K27me3) is well studied as an agent of gene repression, but more recently distinct roles for the mono- and di-methyl states have been discovered. In order to more fully understand how PRC2-associated factors might influence H3K27 status, we screened for physical associations of PRC2 subunits. Knockdown of these factors was used to produce functional interaction maps focused on H3K27 methylation, including proteins that have positive and negative effects on the levels each histone mark.

Cxorf67-FLAG co-immunoprecipitation analysis from 293T cells

Project description:The regulation of gene expression is controlled in part by post-translational modifications to histone proteins. Methylation at histone H3, lysine 27 (H3K27), which is catalyzed by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is associated with silenced chromatin. Previous studies have identified dysregulation of H3K27 methylation in pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), the majority of which feature mutation of lysine 27 to methionine. This “oncohistone” potently inhibits PRC2 activity and leads to a global reduction in H3K27 methylation. Similar to DIPG, posterior fossa type A (PFA) ependymomas also show low levels of H3K27 methylation. Although PFAs do not possess the H3K27M oncohistone mutation, they do show increased expression of Cxorf67. Interestingly, Cxorf67 contains a C-terminal sequence that resembles the sequence surrounding H3K27, and we find that this portion of Cxorf67 inhibits PRC2 activity to an even greater extent than the H3K27M oncohistone. Thus, we suggest re-naming Cxorf67 as EZHIP (Enhancer of Zeste Homologs Inhibitory Protein). Furthermore, when expressed in 293T cells, Cxorf67 interacts with several members of PRC2 and induces changes in H3K27 methylation patterns that mirror the changes in H3K27 methylation induced by expression of H3K27M. We propose that PFAs have dysregulated H3K27 methylation by a mechanism that involves inhibition of PRC2 by Cxorf67, which could drive tumorigenesis.

Dynamic protein interactions of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2

Project description:Polycomb proteins assemble to form complexes with important roles in epigenetic regulation. The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) modulates the di- and tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3, each of which are associated with gene repression. Although three subunits, EZH1/2, SUZ12 and EED, form the catalytic core of PRC2, a wider group of proteins associate with low stoichiometry. This raises the question of whether dynamic variation of the PRC2 interactome results in alternative forms of the complex during differentiation. Here we compared the physical interactions of PRC2 in undifferentiated and differentiated states of NTERA2 pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cells. Label-free quantitative proteomics was used to assess endogenous immunoprecipitation of the EZH2 and SUZ12 subunits of PRC2. A high stringency dataset reflecting the endogenous state of PRC2 was produced that included all previously reported ‘core’ and ‘associated’ PRC2 components, and several novel interacting proteins. Comparison of the interactomes obtained in undifferentiated and differentiated cells revealed candidate proteins that favoured either one or other state. For example, SALL4 and ZNF281 associate with PRC2 in pluripotent cells, while PCL1 and SMAD3 more associate with PRC2 in differentiating cells. Analysis of the mRNA and protein levels of these factors found that their association with PRC2 correlated with their cell state-specific expression. Taken together, we propose that dynamic changes to the PRC2 interactome during differentiation may contribute to directing its activity during cell fate transitions.

Accurate H3K27 methylation patterns can be established de novo by SUZ12-directed PRC2

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes H3K27 methylation and is required for maintaining transcriptional patterns and cellular identity, but the specification and maintenance of genomic PRC2 binding and H3K27 methylation patterns remain incompletely understood. Epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed, wherein pre-existing H3K27 methylation directs recruitment and regulates the catalytic activity of PRC2 to support its own maintenance. Here we investigate if such mechanisms are required for specifying H3K27 methylation patterns in mouse embryonic stem cells. Through genetic knockouts of subunits, we find that PRC2 is responsible for all levels of H3K27 methylation, and that methylation patterns can be accurately established de novo, when a subunit is reintroduced in the absence of pre-existing H3K27 methylation and PRC2 chromatin binding. Furthermore, we find that the core-subunit SUZ12 directs genomic binding of PRC2, which is essential for establishing correct methylation patterns.

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 methylates Elongin A to regulate transcripiton [BrU-RNA-seq]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2-EZH2) methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) and is required to maintain gene repression during development. Misregulation of PRC2 is linked to a range of neoplastic malignancies, which is believed to involve methylation of H3K27. However, the full spectrum of non-histone substrates of PRC2 that might also contribute to PRC2 function is not known. We characterized the target recognition specificity of PRC2 and used the resultant data to screen for novel potential targets. The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription factor, Elongin A (EloA), is methylated by PRC2 in vivo. Mutation of the methylated EloA residue decreased repression of many, but not all, PRC2 target genes as measured by both steady state and nascent RNA levels. We propose that PRC2 regulates transcription of a subset of target genes in part via methylation of EloA.

EZH1 and H3K27me3 ChIP-chip data from mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Trimethylation on H3K27 (H3K27me3) mediated by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been linked to embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity and pluripotency. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, has been reported as the sole histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K27 and mediates transcriptional silencing. Analysis of Ezh2(-/-) ESCs suggests existence of an additional enzyme(s) catalyzing H3K27 methylation. We have identified EZH1, a homolog of EZH2 that is physically present in a noncanonical PRC2 complex, as an H3K27 methyltransferase in vivo and in vitro. EZH1 colocalizes with the H3K27me3 mark on chromatin and preferentially preserves this mark on development-related genes in Ezh2(-/-) ESCs. Depletion of Ezh1 in cells lacking Ezh2 abolishes residual methylation on H3K27 and derepresses H3K27me3 target genes, demonstrating a role of EZH1 in safeguarding ESC identity. Ezh1 partially complements Ezh2 in executing pluripotency during ESC differentiation, suggesting that cell-fate transitions require epigenetic specificity.

Proteomic analyses identify a novel role for EZH2 in the initiation of cancer cell drug tolerance

Project description:Acquisition of drug resistance remains a chief impediment to successful cancer therapy, and we previously described a transient drug-tolerant cancer cell population (DTPs) whose survival is in part dependent on the activities of the histone methyltransferases G9a/EHMT2 and EZH2, the latter being the catalytic component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Here, we applied multiple proteomic techniques to better understand the role of these HMTs in the establishment of the DTP state. Proteome-wide comparisons of lysine methylation patterns revealed that DTPs have increased methylation on K116 of PRC member Jarid2, an event that helps stabilize and recruit PRC2 to chromatin. We also found that EZH2, in addition to methylating histone H3K27, also methylates G9a at K185, and that methylated G9a better recruits repressive complexes to chromatin; similar to complexes recruited by histone H3 methylated at K9. Finally, a detailed histone posttranslational modification (PTM) analysis shows that EZH2, either directly or through its ability to methylate G9a, alters H3K9 methylation in the specific context of H3 serine10 phosphorylation, and primarily in a cancer cell subpopulation that serves as DTP precursors. We also show that combinations of histone PTMs recruit a different set of complexes to chromatin, shedding light on the temporal mechanisms that contribute to drug tolerance.

The Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methyltransferases G9a and GLP Regulate Polycomb Repressive Complex 2-Mediated Gene Silencing [RNA-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. RNA-seq has been perform in triplicate on mES cell (TT2 : Wildtype, and KO G9a-/-)

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 methylates Elongin A to tune transcript levels of targeted genes [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2-EZH2) methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27). PRC2 is required to maintain gene repression during development and differentiation and misregulation of PRC2 is linked to a range of neoplastic malignancies, activities that are believed to involve H3K27 methylation. The full spectrum of non-histone substrates of PRC2, however, is not known, and it is not known which other substrates might also contribute to the biological functions of PRC2. We characterized the target recognition specificity and substrate diversity of PRC2, and identified more than one hundred potential novel nuclear targets of PRC2. The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription elongation factor, Elongin A (EloA), is an in vivo target of PRC2. Mutation of the EloA residue that is methylated by PRC2 decreases repression of numerous PRC2 target genes. We propose that this functional crosstalk between PRC2 and EloA tunes the level of repression of targeted genes and contributes to the biological functions of PRC2.
