Project description:Host innate immune defences play a critical role in restricting the intracellular propagation and pathogenesis of invading viral pathogens. Here we show that the histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA (histone cell cycle regulator) associates with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. Following the activation of innate immune signalling, HIRA localized at PML-NBs in a Janus-Associated Kinase (JAK), Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK), and Sp100-dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis revealed that HIRA promoted the transcriptional upregulation of a broad repertoire of host genes that regulate innate immunity to HSV-1 infection, including those involved in MHC-I antigen presentation, cytokine signalling, and interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that PML, the principle scaffolding protein of PML-NBs, was required for the enrichment of HIRA onto ISGs, identifying a role for PML in the HIRA-dependent regulation of innate immunity to virus infection. Our data identifies independent roles for HIRA in the intrinsic silencing of viral gene expression and the induction of innate immune defences to restrict the initiation and propagation of HSV-1 infection, respectively. These intracellular host defences are antagonized by the HSV-1 ubiquitin ligase ICP0, which disrupts the stable recruitment of HIRA to infecting viral genomes and PML-NBs at spatiotemporally distinct phases of infection. Our study highlights the importance of histone chaperones to regulate multiple phases of intracellular immunity to virus infection, findings that are likely to be highly pertinent in the cellular restriction of many clinically important viral pathogens.

Project description:Promyelocytic Leukemia Nuclear Bodies (PML NBs) are nuclear membrane-less organelles physically associated with chromatin underscoring their crucial role in genome function. The H3.3 histone chaperone complex HIRA accumulates in PML NBs upon senescence, viral infection or IFN-I treatment in primary cells. Yet, the molecular mechanisms of this partitioning and its function in regulating histone dynamics have remained elusive. Here, by using specific siRNAs and protein Affimers, we identify intermolecular SUMO-SIM interactions as an essential mechanism for HIRA recruitment in PML NBs. In addition, we demonstrate that HIRA localization in the nuclear bodies is intimately linked to the presence of a soluble pool of H3.3-H4 dimers inside PML NBs, that is not found in cancer cells. Transcription inhibition prevents HIRA accumulation in PML NBs underscoring the importance of transcriptional activity to drive HIRA through PML NBs. Finally, in the context of inflammatory responses, HIRA and PML are necessary for the prolonged H3.3 deposition at the transcriptional end sites of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), well beyond the peak of transcription. We thus propose that HIRA partitioning in PML NBs is essential to regulate H3.3 deposition on transcriptionally active regions.

Project description:The establishment of latent herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection is controlled by promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs). Viral genomes are recruited to PML NBs structures and chromatinized by repressive H3.3K9me3 modified H3.3 histone variant to form viral DNA-containing PML-NBs (vDCP NBs). Exactly how this occurs is unclear. Here we identify an essential role for the HUSH complex and its SETDB1 and MORC2 effectors in the establishment and maintenance of latent herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. ChIP-seq analyses conducted on latently/quiescently infected primary human fibroblasts highlight the association of the H3K9me3 mark with the entire viral genome. We demonstrate the necessity of HUSH, SETDB1, and MORC2 in the establishment of repressive heterochromatin in vDCP NBs. Depletion of these components prior to viral infection results in reduced H3K9me3 levels across the entirety of latent/quiescent HSV-1 genomes, with minimal impact on the cellular genome as a whole. Once latency is established, depletion of HUSH, SETDB1, or MORC2 by shRNAs or the HIV-2ROD Vpx protein, induces the reactivation of HSV-1 in infected primary human fibroblasts as well as in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neurons (hiPSDN). We discovered that the viral protein ICP0 induces MORC2 degradation via the proteasome machinery. This process is concurrent with ICP0 capability to initiate full HSV-1 reactivation, as well as the significant reactivation of HSV-1 upon MORC2 depletion in hiPSDN. Our data demonstrate the potent antiviral restriction activity of the HUSH/SETDB1/MORC2 complex to a non-integrated human herpesvirus, its close association with PML NBs, and introduces a new target for anti-herpesvirus therapy.

Project description:Cellular senescence, a stable proliferation arrest caused by a range of cellular stresses, is a bona fide cause of cell and tissue aging. As well as proliferation arrest, cell senescence is associated with a potent pro-inflammatory phenotype, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Given that SASP is regulated at various levels, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its regulation is crucial. This understanding can pave the way for potential therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating SASP, which could promote healthy aging and alleviate the burden of senescence-associated diseases and degeneration. We show here that both the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein and HIRA histone chaperone are required for SASP expression in senescent cells. PML protein is the key organizer of PML nuclear bodies, nuclear features up to 1mM in diameter, containing many proteins and previously implicated in diverse cellular processes, including control of cell senescence and cellular intrinsic anti-viral immunity. HIRA is a histone chaperone best known for its ability to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into nuclear chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner, including in non-proliferating senescent cells. HIRA localizes to PML nuclear bodies in senescent cells. We show that both HIRA and PML are required for activation of NF-kB and SASP. We found that HIRA regulates cytoplasmic NF-kB signaling in senescent cells through CCF-cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway and interaction with autophagy cargo receptor Sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1).

Project description:A previous study has shown that PML-dependent recruitment of HIRA to ISG promoters contributes to the up-regulation of gene expression as a result of cytokine release in response to HSV infection (McFarlane et al., 2019). Although carried out in non-neuronal cells, this study and others (Ulbricht et al., 2012, Kim and Ahn, 2015, Scherer et al., 2016, Chen et al., 2015) suggest that PML itself may contribute to ISG upregulation, so to determine whether PML was indeed required for ISG stimulation in SCG neurons, we carried out RNA sequence analysis in IFNα-treated neurons depleted of PML.

Project description:TRIM33 is a chromatin reader required for mesendoderm differentiation upon activation of Nodal signaling. But, its role in mESCs is still elusive. Here, we found that TRIM33 co-localizes with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) specifically in mESCs to mediate Nodal signaling-directed transcription of Lefty1/2. We showed that TRIM33 puncta formation in mESCs depends on PML and specific assembly of PML NBs. Moreover, TRIM33 and PML co-regulate Lefty1/2 expression in mESCs. In addition, both PML and mESCs-specific PML NBs are required for TRIM33 recruitment at Lefty1/2 loci. Remarkably, PML NBs directly associate with the Lefty1/2 loci in mESCs. Finally, a TurboID proximity labeling experiment confirmed that TRIM33 is highly enriched in the mESCs-specific PML NBs. Thus, our study provides the mechanistic insight about TRIM33 condensate in regulating Nodal signaling-directed transcription in mESCs, it also reveals that PML NBs recruit distinct sets of client proteins in cell context dependent manner.

Project description:TRIM33 is a chromatin reader required for nodal signaling during mesendoderm differentiation, although differences in its function between mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and differentiated mesendoderm cells are unknown. Here, we found that TRIM33 co-condenses with PML nuclear bodies (NBs) via liquid-liquid phase separation specifically in mESCs to mediate nodal signaling-directed transcription of Lefty1/2. Our findings show that TRIM33 puncta formation depends on the presence of PML NBs. TurboID proximity labeling further revealed that PML NBs recruit distinct sets of client proteins in NaAsO2-treated, untreated mESCs, and differentiated cells. TRIM33 and PML co-regulate Lefty1/2 expression, while PML NBs directly associate with the Lefty1/2 loci and regulate a gene cluster that includes Lefty1/2 loci specifically in mESCs. Moreover, TRIM33 association with chromatin depends on PML NBs. Thus, PML NBs serve as a hub for transcriptional regulation of Lefty1/2 by TRIM33 and other pluripotency factors in mESCs.
