DOT1L regulates pericentromeric heterochromatin

ABSTRACT: Many repetitive DNA elements are packaged in heterochromatin, but depend on occasional transcription to maintain long-term silencing. The factors that promote transcription of repeat elements in heterochromatin are largely unknown. Here, we show that DOT1L, a histone methyltransferase that modifies lysine 79 of histone H3 (H3K79), is required for transcription of major satellite repeats to maintain pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH), and that this function is essential for preimplantation development. DOT1L is a transcriptional activator at single-copy genes but does not have a known role in repeat element transcription. We show that H3K79me3 is specifically enriched at repetitive elements, that loss of DOT1L compromises pericentromeric major satellite transcription, and that this function depends on interaction between DOT1L and the chromatin remodeler SMARCA5. DOT1L inhibition causes chromosome breaks and cell cycle defects, and leads to embryonic lethality. Together, our findings uncover a vital new role for DOT1L in transcriptional activation of heterochromatic repeats.

Investigating the effect of Daxx deletion on gene and repeat expression in embryonic stem cells and their differentiated neural derivatives

Project description:Genomes comprise a large fraction of repetitive sequences folded into constitutive heterochromatin to protect genome integrity and cell identity. De novo formation of heterochromatin during preimplantation development is essential to preserve the ground-state of pluripotency and the self-renewal capacity of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In this study we find that DAXX, an H3.3 chaperone, is essential for ESCs maintenance in the ground-state of pluripotency. DAXX accumulates at pericentromeric regions, and recruits PML and SETDB1, thereby promoting heterochromatin formation. In the absence of DAXX, the 3D-architecture and physical properties of pericentric and peripheral heterochromatin are disrupted, resulting in derepression of major satellite DNA, transposable elements and genes associated with the nuclear lamina. Our data reveal that DAXX is crucial for the maintenance and 3D-organization of the heterochromatin compartment and protects ESCs viability.

Mediator directs co-transcriptional heterochromatin assembly by RNAi-dependent and -independent pathways.

Project description:Background: Heterochromatin at the pericentromeric repeats in fission yeast is assembled and spread by an RNAi-dependent mechanism, which is coupled to the transcription of non-coding RNA from the repeats by RNA polymerase II. In addition, Rrp6, a component of the nuclear exosome, also contributes to heterochromatin assembly and is coupled to non-coding RNA transcription. The multi-subunit complex Mediator, which directs initiation of RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription, has recently been suggested to function after initiation in processes such as elongation of transcription and splicing. However, the role of Mediator in the regulation of chromatin structure is not well understood. Results: We investigated the role of Mediator in pericentromeric heterochromatin formation and found that deletion of specific subunits of the head domain of Mediator compromised heterochromatin structure. The Mediator head domain was required for Rrp6-dependent heterochromatin nucleation at the pericentromere and for RNAi-dependent spreading of heterochromatin into the neighboring region. In the latter process, Mediator appeared to contribute to efficient processing of siRNA from transcribed non-coding RNA, which was required for efficient spreading of heterochromatin. Furthermore, the head domain directed efficient transcription in heterochromatin. Conclusions: These results reveal a pivotal role for Mediator in multiple steps of transcription-coupled formation of pericentromeric heterochromatin. This observation further extends the role of Mediator to co-transcriptional chromatin regulation.

Gene expression from NMuMG cells overexpressing major satellite treated with TGFbeta

Project description:Although heterochromatin is enriched with repressive traits, it is also actively transcribed, giving rise to large amounts of non-coding RNAs. Although these RNAs are responsible for the formation and maintenance of heterochromatin, little is known about how their transcription is regulated. Here we show that the Snail1 transcription factor represses pericentromeric transcription, acting through the H3K4 deaminase LOXL2. Since Snail1 plays a key role in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), we analyzed the regulation of mouse heterochromatin transcription in this process. At the onset of EMT, one of the major structural heterochromatin proteins, HP1a, is transiently released from heterochromatin foci in a Snail1/LOXL2–dependent manner during EMT, concomitantly with a down-regulation of major satellite transcription. Global transcriptome analysis indicated that ectopic expression of heterochromatin transcripts affects the transcription profile of EMT-related genes. Additionally, preventing the down-regulation of major satellite transcripts compromised the migratory and invasive behavior of mesenchymal cells. We propose that Snail1 regulates heterochromatin transcription through the histone-modifying enzyme, LOXL2, thus creating the favorable transcriptional state necessary for completing EMT.

Expression data from GFP- or GFP Satellite alpha-transfected human retinal pigment epithelial cell line ARPE19

Project description:Chromatin is divided into euchromatin and heterochromatin based on differential compaction during interphase, with heterochromatin being highly condensed, existing in transcriptional inert conformation. Embedded within heterochromatin is a group of highly repetitive DNA sequences, referred to as satellite DNAs that give rise to non-coding satellite RNAs. Satellite DNA is thought to be maintained in a transcriptionally silenced state by the repressive H3K9me3 mark. However, aberrant satellite transcription can cause heterochromatin disorganization and genome instability, which have been linked to carcinogenesis. In order to study the function of heterochromatic satellite in retinal pigmental epithelia (RPE) cell, we systematically investigated transcriptome alterations in the presence of heterochromatin destabilization induced by satellite α overexpression in APRE19 cell line, a widely used human RPE cell line.

PHF2-mediated H3K9me balance orchestrates heterochromatin stability and progenitor proliferation in early neurogenesisPHF2-mediated H3K9me balance orchestrates heterochromatin stability and progenitor proliferation in early neurogenesis

Project description:Heterochromatin stability is crucial for progenitor proliferation during early neurogenesis. It relays on the maintenance of local hubs of H3K9me. However, the current understanding of the processes involved in the formation of efficient localized levels of H3K9me remains limited. To address this intriguing question, we used a neural stem cell (NSC) to analyze the function of the H3K9me2 demethylase PHF2, which is crucial for progenitor proliferation. Through mass spectroscopy and genome-wide assays, we uncovered that PHF2 interacts with heterochromatin components and it is enriched at pericentromeric heterochromatin (PcH) boundaries. This binding is essential for maintaining silenced the satellite repeats thereby preventing DNA damage and genome instability. Depletion of PHF2 led to increased transcription of heterochromatic repeats, accompanied by a decrease in H3K9me3 levels and alterations in PcH organization. Further analysis revealed that PHF2's PHD and catalytic domains are crucial for maintaining PcH stability and preventing unscheduled repeat transcription, thereby safeguarding genome integrity. These results highlight the multifaceted nature of PHF2's functions in maintaining heterochromatin stability and regulating gene expression during neural development. Altogether, our study unravels the intricate relationship between heterochromatin stability and progenitor proliferation during mammalian neurogenesis, shedding light on its potential as a therapeutic target for neurodevelopmental disorders

Retroelements and DUX4 Create Primate-specific Promoters for Germline Genes

Project description:The human double-homeodomain retrogene DUX4 is normally expressed at high levels in germ cells of the testis. When aberrantly expressed in muscle its protein product causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), perhaps partly by inducing inappropriate expression of germline genes. DUX4 can bind >60,000 locations in the human genome that contain a strongly enriched sequence motif. Numerous long terminal repeat (LTR) class repetitive elements are enriched among DUX4 binding sites, including many from the mammalian apparent LTR-retrotransposon (MaLR) family as well as some ERVL and ERVK types, with MaLRs comprising ~1/3 of DUX4’s binding sites. We performed RNA-seq on myoblasts over-expressing DUX4 and find that DUX4 binding activates transcription of some but not all bound repeat types. Some of these activated repetitive elements comprise novel promoters for genes, long non-coding RNAs and antisense transcripts. We show that some of these chimeric repeat-initiated transcripts are expressed in testis and FSHD patient myotubes. The acquisition of MaLR-LTR elements during mammalian evolution may therefore have allowed rewiring of the transcriptional network. We also find that the pericentromeric satellite HSATII can be bound by DUX4 and that its transcription is massively induced by DUX4 over-expression. Our findings suggest a role for repetitive element transcripts in muscle disease and in the biology of normal testis.

RNAi promotes heterochromatic silencing through replication-coupled release of RNA pol II (RNA seq)

Project description:Heterochromatin comprises tightly compacted repetitive regions of eukaryotic chromosomes. The inheritance of heterochromatin through mitosis requires RNA interference (RNAi), which guides histone modification during the DNA replication phase of the cell cycle. Here, we show that the alternating arrangement of origins of replication and non-coding RNA in pericentromeric heterochromatin results in competition between transcription and replication. Co-transcriptional RNAi releases RNA polymerase II (PolII), allowing completion of DNA replication by the leading strand DNA polymerase, and associated histone modifying enzymes which spread heterochromatin with the replication fork. In the absence of RNAi, stalled forks are repaired by homologous recombination without histone modification. small RNA cloning from wild type and dcr1-deleted strains

Zscan4 mediates transient remodeling and transcriptional burst of heterochromatin in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Repetitive sequences such as telomeres, centromeres, and retrotransposons are packed in permanently-condensed and transcriptionally-silenced heterochromatin, whose maintenance is critical for the genome stability. We have recently found that mouse ES cells occasionally go through a unique cell state marked by the transient expression of Zscan4, which plays a key role in long-term genome stability. Here we report our unexpected and counterintuitive finding that the Zscan4+ state is accompanied by a Zscan4-mediated rapid activation and repression of heterochromatin: the burst of transcription from heterochromatin coincided with its transient histone hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation, the clustering of pericentromeric heterochromatin in the perinucleolar region, and the accumulation of chromatin remodeling complexes for both activation (HATs, SWI/SNF) and repression (HDACs, LSD1/KDM1A, NuRD) on heterochromatin. Overall, these findings suggest that ES cells maintain their extraordinary genome stability and immortality by transiently taking extreme measures – a usually forbidden transition to the activated state of heterochromatin.
