Project description:The transcription factor RTF1 has been identified as a gene associated with an increased risk of ulcerative colitis (UC) . In this study, we investigated its impact on modulating intestinal inflammation through the control of T cells expressing interleukin-17A (Th17) cells. Our results demonstrate that RTF1 deficiency disrupts the differentiation of Th17 cells, while leaving regulatory T cells (Treg) cells unaffected. Mechanistically, RTF1 facilitates Histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1), which requires its histone modification domain (HMD). Impaired Th17 differentiation was also observed in cells lacking the H2Bub1 E3 ligase subunit RNF40. This study underscores the essential role of RTF1 in H2Bub1-mediated epigenetic regulation of Th17 cell differentiation. Understanding this process provides valuable insight into addressing Th17-associated inflammatory disorders.

Project description:We report that histone GlcNAcylation of H2B S112 is a vital histone modification which facilitates histone monoubiquitination (ub). In a genome-wide analysis, H2B S112 GlcNAcylation sites were observed widely distributed over entire chromosomes including transcribed gene loci, together with co-localization of H2B S112 GlcNAcylation and K120 ub.

Project description:Monoubiquitination of histone H2B on lysine 123 (H2BK123ub) is a transient histone modification considered to be essential for establishing H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation by Set1/COMPASS and Dot1, respectively. Many of the factors such as Rad6/Bre1, the Paf1 complex, and the Bur1/Bur2 complex were identified to be required for proper histone H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation, and were shown to function by regulating H2BK123ub levels. Here, we have identified Chd1 as a factor that is required for proper maintenance of H2B monoubiquitination levels, but not for H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Loss of Chd1 results in a substantial loss of H2BK123ub levels with little to no effect on the genome-wide pattern of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation. Our data shows that nucleosomal occupancy is reduced in gene bodies in both CHD1 null and K123A backgrounds. We have also demonstrated that Chd1’s function in maintaining H2BK123ub levels is conserved from yeast to human. Our study provides evidence that only small levels of H2BK123ub are necessary for full levels of H3K4 and H3K79 trimethylation in vivo, and points to a role for Chd1 in positively regulating gene expression through promoting nucleosome re-assembly coupled with H2B monoubiquitination.

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II is regulated by epigenetic modifications to the chromatin template. The mono-ubiquitylation of H2B is established during transcription elongation and broadly impacts chromatin architecture and gene expression. The Polymerase Associated Factor 1 complex (Paf1C) is required for H2B ubiquitylation through an unknown mechanism. Here, we find that a 66-amino acid histone modification domain (HMD) within the Rtf1 subunit of Paf1C promotes H2B ubiquitylation in cells lacking all Paf1C members and present the crystal structure of this domain. Using site-specific in vivo crosslinking, we show that Rtf1 directly interacts with the ubiquitin conjugase Rad6 through a conserved surface on the HMD. Through ChIP-exo analysis, we observe that enrichment of Paf1C correlates with H2B ubiquitylation, and that the HMD, Rad6 and Bre1 localize to H2B. Finally, we demonstrate that the HMD directly stimulates H2B ubiquitylation in a reconstituted system, arguing that Paf1C functions as a cofactor for Rad6-Bre1 mediated catalysis.

Project description:Extensive changes in post-translational histone modifications accompany the rewiring of the transcriptional program during stem cell differentiation. However, the mechanisms controlling the changes in specific chromatin modifications and their function during differentiation remain only poorly understood. We show that histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1) significantly increases during differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), various lineage-committed precursor cells and in diverse organisms. Furthermore, the H2B ubiquitin ligase RNF40 is required for the induction of differentiation markers and transcriptional reprogramming of hMSC. This function is dependent upon CDK9 and the WAC adaptor protein, which are required for H2B monoubiquitination. Finally, we show that RNF40 is required for the resolution of the H3K4me3/H3K27me3 bivalent poised state on lineage-specific genes during the transition from an inactive to active chromatin conformation. Thus, these data indicate that H2Bub1 is required for maintaining multipotency of hMSC cells and plays a central role in controlling stem cell differentiation.
