Two H3K23 histone methyltransferases, SET-32 and SET-21, function synergistically to promote germline nuclear RNAi, proper endogenous siRNA expression, and germline immortality in Caenorhabditis elegans [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Nuclear RNAi in C. elegans induces a set of transgenerationally heritable marks of H3K9me3, H3K23me3, and H3K27me3 at the target genes. The function of H3K23me3 in the nuclear RNAi pathway is largely unknown due to the limited knowledge of H3K23 histone methyltransferase (HMT). In this study we identified SET-21 as a novel H3K23 HMT. By taking combined genetic, biochemical, and genomic approaches we found that SET-21 functions synergistically with a previously reported H3K23 HMT SET-32 to deposit H3K23me3 at the native targets of germline nuclear RNAi. We identified a subset of nuclear RNAi targets become transcriptionally activated in the set-21;set-32 double mutant. SET-21 and SET-32 are also required for a robust transgenerational gene silencing induced by exogenous dsRNA. The loss of SET-21 and SET-32 leads to a mortal germline phenotype, similar to mutations of the core nuclear RNAi component. Together, these results support a model in which H3K23 HMTs SET-21 and SET-32 ensure the robustness of germline nuclear RNAi and promotes the germline immortality at a high temperature.

A nuclear Argonaute promotes germline immortality and epigenetic inheritance across generations

Project description:dsRNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) can be inherited for multiple generations in C. elegans. To understand this process we conducted a genetic screen for animals defective for transmitting RNAi silencing signals to future generations. This screen identified the gene heritable RNAi defective (hrde)-1. hrde-1 encodes an Argonaute (Ago) that associates with siRNAs in germ cells of the progeny of animals exposed to dsRNA. In nuclei of these germ cells, HRDE-1 engages the Nrde nuclear RNAi pathway to promote RNAi inheritance, and directs H3K9me3 chromatin marks at RNAi targeted genomic loci. Under normal growth conditions, HRDE-1 associates with endogenously expressed small RNAs, which direct nuclear gene silencing in germ cells. In RNAi inheritance mutant animals, silencing is lost over generational time. Concurrently, RNAi inheritance mutant animals exhibit progressively worsening germline defects that ultimately lead to sterility. These results establish that the Ago HRDE-1 directs gene-silencing events in germ cell nuclei, which are required for multi-generational RNAi inheritance and immortality of the germ cell lineage. We propose that C. elegans use the RNAi inheritance machinery to transmit epigenetic information, accrued by past generations, into future generations to ensure immortality of the germ cell lineage.

C. elegans nuclear RNAi factor SET-32 is an H3K23 methyltransferase and deposits the transgenerational heritable modification of H3K23me3

Project description:Nuclear RNAi provides a highly tractable system to study RNA-mediated chromatin changes and epigenetic inheritance. Recent studies indicate that nuclear RNAi-mediated heterochromatin is highly complex in its regulation and function. The knowledge of histone modifications that are involved in nuclear RNAi and the corresponding histone modifying enzymes remains limited. In this study, we show that the heterochromatin mark H3K23me3 is induced by nuclear RNAi at both exogenous and endogenous targets in C. elegans. In addition, RNAi-induced H3K23me3 can be inherited for at least four generations. We also demonstrate that the histone methyltransferase SET-32, methylates H3K23 in vitro. Both set-32 and the germline nuclear RNAi Argonaute, hrde-1, are required for nuclear RNAi-induced H3K23me3 in vivo. Our data poise H3K23me3 as a chromatin modification involved in the nuclear RNAi pathway and provides the field with a new target for uncovering the role of heterochromatin in transgenerational epigenetic silencing.
