Project description:NCoR and SMRT are two paralogous vertebrate proteins that function as corepressors with unliganded nuclear receptors. Although C. elegans has a large number of nuclear receptors, orthologues of the corepressors NCoR and SMRT have not unambiguously been identified in Drosophila or C. elegans. Here, we identify GEI-8 as the closest homologue of NCoR and SMRT in C. elegans and demonstrate that GEI-8 is expressed as at least two isoforms throughout development in multiple tissues, including neurons, muscle and intestinal cells. We demonstrate that a homozygous deletion within the gei-8 coding region, which is predicted to encode a truncated protein lacking the predicted NR domain, results in severe mutant phenotypes with developmental defects, slow movement and growth, arrested gonadogenesis and defects in cholinergic neurotransmission. Whole genome expression analysis by microarrays identified sets of de-regulated genes consistent with both the observed mutant phenotypes and a role of GEI-8 in regulating transcription. Interestingly, the upregulated transcripts included a predicted mitochondrial sulfide:quinine reductase encoded by Y9C9A.16. This locus also contains non-coding, 21-U RNAs of the piRNA. Inhibition of the expression of the region coding for 21-U RNAs leads to irregular gonadogenesis in the homozygous gei-8 mutants, but not in an otherwise wild-type background, suggesting that GEI-8 may function in concert with the 21-U RNAs to regulate gonadogenesis. Our results confirm that GEI-8 is the orthologue of the vertebrate NCoR/SMRT corepressors and demonstrate important roles for this putative transcriptional corepressor in development and neuronal function.

Project description:Here, we systemically investigated the GPS2 corepressor complex function on cyclooxygenase 1 (Ptgs1) in macrophage M2 activation. We found the inflammatory states changed the DNA topology structure along with the histone modification and the gene expression on Ptgs1 locus. GPS2 related NCOR/SMRT corepressor physically bound to Ptgs1 promoter and enhancer, and depletion of all corepressor subunits caused the basal overexpression of Ptgs1 along with the H3K27ac activation. The corepressor subunits display a conserved function on Ptgs1 expression in M2 activation and this regulation is dependent on STAT6 but not through the direct interaction. We find the GPS2 depletion interferences the DNA accessibility on Ptgs1 locus and promotes the enhancer-promoter interaction and the transcriptional process in M2 activation. We further find the GPS2 depletion caused the recruitments of KDM1A, which specifically demethylated the H3K9me2/3 on Ptgs1 locus. In summary, these findings suggest a new paradigm of the corepressor mediated common gene repression in M2 activation and indicate the potential function of the GPS2/NCOR/SMRT function in the tissue homeostasis and wound healing during Th2-mediated immune responses.

Project description:Changing the somatic cell transcriptome to a pluripotent state using exogenous reprogramming factors needs transcriptional co-regulators that help activate or suppress gene expression and rewrite the epigenome. Here, we show that reprogramming-specific engagement of the NCoR/SMRT co-repressor complex at key pluripotency loci creates an epigenetic block to reprogramming. HDAC3 executes the repressive function of NCoR/SMRT in reprogramming by inducing histone deacetylation at these loci. Recruitment of NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 to pluripotency genes is facilitated by all 4 Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC) but mostly by c-MYC. Class IIa HDACs further potentiate this recruitment by interacting with both the reprogramming factors and NCoR/SMRT. Consequently, depleting NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 function enables high efficiency of reprogramming, while elevating NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 recruitment at pluripotency loci by over-expressing constitutively active class IIa HDACs derails it. Our findings thus uncover an unexpected epigenetic mechanism involving c-MYC, whose manipulation greatly enhances reprogramming efficiency.

Project description:We detected an interaction between checkpoint kinase Chk2 and some members of the NCOR/SMRT co-repressor complex. In order to study the role of gene repression in the checkpoint response to DNA damage, we performed RNA profiling in NCOR or SMRT knockdown cells after treztment with cisplatin. U2OS cells were transfected with siRNAs for NCOR or SMRT, grown for 2 days in complete medium, and then treated with 100 microM cisplatin (CDDP) for 6h. Biological duplicates were used for RNa profiling

Project description:Using ChIP-seq, we reveal the SMRT and NCoR co-repressor cistromes, which each consist of over 30,000 half-shared binding sites. Moreover, we identify Bcl6-bound sub-cistromes for each co-repressor, which are strongly concentrated on NF-κB-driven inflammatory and tissue remodeling genes. These results reveal a critical role for Bcl6 and its corepressors SMRT and NCoR in the prevention of atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation.
