Mitotic activity shapes stage-specific histone modification profiles during Xenopus embryogenesis

ABSTRACT: Here we investigate the possible relationship between the propagation of epigenetic information and the developmental cell proliferation during Xenopus embryogenesis. We systemically inhibited cell proliferation during the G1/S-transition in gastrula embryos and followed their development until the tadpole stage. We quantified by mass spectrometry the abundance of a large set of histone modification states, which reflects the developmental maturation of the embryonic epigenome.

Quantification of histone H3 and H4 modifications by mass spectrometry in wildtype and MCM2-2A mutants of mice ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication modified parental histones H3-H4 are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histone PTMs. Whether heritable histone modifications confer epigenetic regulation by maintaining chromatin states and gene expression is unclear. Using MCM2 histone-binding mutant embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mass spectrometry, we show that asymmetric segregation of parental histones to the leading strand causes imbalanced inheritance of histone H3K27 methylations to daughter cells.

Targeting CDK9 Reactivates Epigenetically Silenced Genes in Cancer

Project description:Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9) as part of the PTEFb complex promotes transcriptional elongation by promoting RNAPII pause release. We now report that, paradoxically, CDK9 is also essential for maintaining gene silencing at heterochromatic loci. Through a live cell screen, we discovered that CDK9 inhibition reactivates epigenetically silenced genes in cancer, leading to restored tumor suppressor gene expression and cell differentiation, along with activation of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) genes. CDK9 inhibition dephosphorylates the SWI/SNF protein SMARCA4 and represses HP1α expression, both of which contribute to gene reactivation. Based on gene activation, we developed the highly selective and potent CDK9 inhibitor MC180295 (IC50 =5.1nM) that has broad anti-cancer activity in-vitro and is effective in in-vivo cancer models. Additionally, CDK9 inhibition sensitizes with the immune checkpoint inhibitor α-PD-1 in vivo, making it an excellent target for epigenetic therapy of cancer.

Quantification of parental and new histones H3, H4 and H2A by mass spectrometry: analysis of their dynamics along cell cycle progression in WT and MCM2-2A mutant mouse ESCs

Project description:During DNA replication parental, nucleosomic histones are segregated almost symmetrically to the two daughter DNA strands enabling mitotic inheritance of histones and their PTMs. In MCM2 histone-binding mutant ESCs (MCM2-2A), histones are recycled asymmetrically to the leading strand. To evaluate if loss of parental histones contributes to the asymmetry, we tracked new and old histones quantitatively by pulse-Triple-SILAC-MS. The quantification showed no change in dilution and incorporation dynamics in MCM2-2A cells, demonstrating that parental histones are not lost at replication forks but re-routed from the lagging to the leading strand.

Domain model explains propagation dynamics and stability of K27 and K36 methylation landscape

Project description:Chromatin states must be stably maintained during cell proliferation to uphold cellular identity and genome integrity. Inheritance of histone modifications across cell division is thought to be central in this process. However, the histone modification landscape is challenged by the incorporation of new unmodified histones during each cell cycle and the principles that govern heritability remain poorly defined. Here, we take a quantitative approach and develop a reusable computational model that describes propagation of K27 and K36 methylation states. We measure combinatorial K27 and K36 methylation patterns by quantitative mass spectrometry on subsequent generations of histones in the presence and absence of enzymatic inhibition. Our modelling rejects active global demethylation and invoke the existence of 8 domains defined by distinct methylation endpoints. We find that K27me3 on pre- existing histones stimulates the rate of de novo K27me3 establishment, supporting a read-write mechanism in timely chromatin restoration. Finally, we provide a detailed, quantitative picture of the mutual antagonism between K27 and K37 methylation, and propose that this antagonism enhance the stability of epigenetic states across cell division.

Identification of PWWP2A interactors using label-free quantitative affinity enrichment mass spectrometry

Project description:Chromatin structure and function is regulated by reader proteins recognizing histone modifications and/or histone variants. We recently identified PWWP2A, which tightly binds to H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes and is involved in mitotic progression and cranial-facial development. Here, using in vitro assays we show that distinct domains of PWWP2A moreover mediate binding to free linker DNA as well as H3K36me3 nucleosomes. In vivo, PWWP2A strongly recognizes H2A.Z-containing regulatory regions and weakly H3K36me3-containing gene bodies. Additionally, PWWP2A bind to an MTA1-specific core NuRD (M1HR) complex solely consisting of MTA1, HDAC1 and RBBP4/7, excluding CHD and MBD proteins. Depletion of PWWP2A leads to an increase of acetylation levels on H3K27 as well as H2A.Z, presumably by impaired chromatin recruitment of M1HR. Thus, this study identifies PWWP2A as an ever more complex chromatin binding protein serving as adapter for M1HR to H2A.Z-containing chromatin, thereby promoting changes in histone acetylation levels and likely fine-tuning the transcriptional balance.

Histone modifications associated with the histone chaperone DAXX

Project description:A multitude of histone chaperones is required to protect histones from their biosynthesis to DNA deposition. They cooperate through the formation of co-chaperone complexes, but the crosstalk between nucleosome assembly pathways is unclear. Using explorative interactomics approaches, we map the organization of the histone H3-H4 chaperones network and define the interplay between histone chaperones systems. We identify and validate a panel of novel histone (PTM) dependent complexes. We show DAXX acts separately from the rest of the network, recruiting heterochromatin factors and promoting lysine 9 tri-methylated new histone H3.3 prior to deposition onto DNA. With its functionality, DAXX provides a molecular mechanism for de novo heterochromatin assembly.

Middle-Down Characterization of the Cell Cycle Dependence of Histone H4 PTMs and Proteoforms

Project description:In the present study, a middle-down approach is employed for the identification, characterization, and quantitation of the PTMs and proteoforms of histone H4 in two breast cancer cell lines. Our experimental strategy not only preserves the combinatorial attributes of existing PTMs, but also enhances the separation ability and reduces the complexity of downstream data analysis. The fluctuations in the relative abundances of common modifications throughout the cell cycle, including phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation, suggest that they play significant roles at different stages of the cell cycle in breast cancer and could participate in carcinogenesis. In summary, our analysis advances the understanding and elucidation of cancer epigenetics at the single-molecule level, and lays the foundation for further study of histones or other proteins.

Unique structural configuration of EV-DNA primes Kupffer cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity to prevent metastatic progression

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) transport biomolecules that mediate intercellular communication. We previously showed that EVs contain DNA (EV-DNA) representing the entire genome. However, the mechanism of EV-DNA packaging and its role in cancer remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the majority of DNA is localized on the vesicle surface and associated with uniquely modified and cleaved histones. We conducted a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen, which revealed that immune developmental pathways and genes, including APAF1 and NCF1, regulated EV-DNA packaging. We further demonstrated in colorectal cancer models that uptake of EVs and EV-DNA by Kupffer cells (KC) activated DNA damage responses. This activation re-wired KC cytokine production and generated tertiary lymphoid structures in pre-metastatic livers, thereby suppressing metastasis. Conversely, loss of APAF1 decreased EV-DNA packaging and promoted liver metastasis. Quantifying EV-DNA in colorectal cancer biopsies revealed that EV-DNA could possibly serve as a predictive biomarker for metastatic risk.
