Project description:Background: During mitosis the cell depends on proper attachment and segregation of replicated chromosomes to generate two identical progeny. In cancers defined by overexpression or dysregulation of the MYC oncogene this process becomes impaired, leading to genomic instability and tumor evolution. Recently it was discovered that the chromatin regulator WDR5—a critical MYC cofactor—regulates expression of genes needed in mitosis through a direct interaction with the master kinase PDPK1. However, whether PDPK1 and WDR5 contribute to similar mitotic gene regulation in MYC-overexpressing cancers remains unclear. Therefore, to characterize the influence of WDR5 and PDPK1 on mitotic gene expression in cells with high MYC levels, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis in neuroblastoma cell lines defined by MYCN-amplification, which results in high cellular levels of the N-MYC protein. Results: Using RNA-seq analysis, we identify the genes regulated by N-MYC and PDPK1 in multiple engineered CHP-134 neuroblastoma cell lines and compare them to previously published gene expression data collected in CHP-134 cells following inhibition of WDR5. We find that as expected N-MYC regulates a multitude of genes, including those related to mitosis, but that PDPK1 regulates specific sets of genes involved in development, signaling, and mitosis. Analysis of N-MYC- and PDPK1-regulated genes reveals a small group of commonly controlled genes associated with spindle pole formation and chromosome segregation, which overlap with genes that are also regulated by WDR5. We also find that N-MYC physically interacts with PDPK1 through the WDR5-PDPK1 interaction suggesting regulation of mitotic gene expression may be achieved through a N-MYC-WDR5-PDPK1 nexus. Conclusions: Overall, we identify a small group of genes highly enriched within functional gene categories related to mitotic processes that are commonly regulated by N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 and suggest that a tripartite interaction between the three regulators may be responsible for setting the level of mitotic gene regulation in N-MYC amplified cell lines. This study provides a foundation for future studies to determine the exact mechanism by which N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 converge on cell cycle related processes.

Project description:We report a comparison of the genome-wide binding patterns of MYC and WDR5, and the effects of a mutation in MYC (WBM) that disrupt the MYC-WDR5 interaction. The experimental design included two distinct experimental strategies. For comparison of genome-wide binding patters of wild-type (WT) and WDR5 binding-deficient (WBM) MYC, HEK293 cells were engineered by retroviral transduction to express either FLAG-tagged WT-MYC, FLAG-tagged WBM-MYC, or an empty vector control ("vec") ChIP was performed on all samples using the anti-FLAG antibody, and co-precipitating DNAs subject to next-generation sequencing. Samples "2514-WPT-1_1", "2514-WPT-5_1" and "2514-WPT-13_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the "vec" control cells (i.e., those not expressing any exogenous MYC). Samples "2514-WPT-2_1", "2514-WPT-6_1" and "2514-WPT-10_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the WT-MYC expressing cells. "2514-WPT-3_1", "2514-WPT-7_1" and "2514-WPT-11_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the WBM-MYC expressing cells. For comparison of these binding patterns with those of WDR5, we performed ChIP in HEK293 cells with either an antibody against WDR5, or with IgG (negative control). Samples "2514-WPT-23_1", "2514-WPT-25_1", and "2514-WPT-27_1" are independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed with the anti-WDR5 antibody. Samples "2514-WPT-24_1", "2514-WPT-26_1", and "2514-WPT-28_1" are independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed with the negative IgG control.

Project description:The highly conserved WD40-repeat protein WDR5 is part of multiple functional complexes both inside and outside the nucleus, interacting with the MLL/SET1 histone methyltransferases that catalyze histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) di- and tri-methylation (me2,3), and KIF2A, a member of the Kinesin-13 family of microtubule depolymerase. It is currently unclear whether, and how, the distribution of WDR5 between complexes is regulated. Here, we show that an unannotated microprotein dually encoded in the human SCRIB gene regulates the association of WDR5 with epigenetic and KIF2A complexes. We propose to name this alt-protein EMBOW, or microprotein that is the epigenetic to mitotic binder of WDR5. Loss of EMBOW decreases WDR5 interaction with KIF2A, displaces WDR5 from the spindle pole during G2/M phase, and shortens the spindle length, hence prolonging G2/M phase and delaying cell proliferation. On the other hand, loss of EMBOW increases WDR5 interaction with epigenetic complexes, including KMT2A/MLL1, and promotes WDR5 association with chromatin and binding to the target genes, hence increasing H3K4me3 levels of target genes. Together, these results implicate EMBOW as a regulator of WDR5 that switches it between epigenetic and mitotic regulatory roles during cell cycle, explaining how mammalian cells can temporally control the multifunctionality of WDR5.

Project description:Collectively, the MYC family of oncoprotein transcription factors are overexpressed or deregulated in more than half of all malignancies. The ability of MYC proteins to access chromatin is fundamental to their role in promoting oncogenic gene expression programs in cancer and this function depends on MYC-cofactor interactions. One such cofactor is the chromatin regulator WDR5, which in models of Burkitt’s lymphoma facilitates recruitment of the c-MYC protein to chromatin at select target genes associated with protein synthesis, allowing for tumor progression and maintenance. However, beyond Burkitt’s lymphoma it is unknown whether these observations extend to other cancers or MYC family members, and whether WDR5 can be deemed as a “universal” MYC recruiter. Here, we focus on N-MYC amplified neuroblastoma to determine the extent of colocalization between N-MYC and WDR5 on chromatin while also demonstrating that like c-MYC, WDR5 can facilitate recruitment of N-MYC to known conserved WDR5-bound genes. We conclude based on this analysis that N-MYC and WDR5 colocalize invariantly across cell lines at predicted sites of facilitated recruitment associated with protein synthesis genes. Surprisingly, we also identify N-MYC-WDR5 cobound genes that are associated with DNA repair and cell cycle processes. Dissection of chromatin binding characteristics of N-MYC and WDR5 at all cobound genes reveals that sites of facilitated recruitment are inherently different than most N-MYC-WDR5 cobound sites. Our data reveals that WDR5 acts as a universal MYC recruiter at a small cohort of previously identified genes and highlights novel biological functions that may be coregulated by N-MYC and WDR5 to sustain the neuroblastoma state.
