Project description:During meiosis, gene expression is silenced in aberrantly unsynapsed chromatin and in heterogametic sex chromosomes. Initiation of sex chromosome silencing is disrupted in meiocytes with sex chromosome-autosome translocations. To determine whether this is due to aberrant synapsis or loss of continuity of sex chromosomes, we engineered Caenorhabditis elegans with non-translocated, bisected X chromosomes. In early meiocytes of mutant males and hermaphrodites, X segments were enriched with euchromatin assembly markers and active RNA polymerase II staining, indicating active transcription. Analysis of RNA-seq data showed that genes from the X chromosome were upregulated in gonads of mutant worms. Contrary to previous models, which predicted that any unsynapsed chromatin is silenced during meiosis, our data indicate that unsynapsed X segments are transcribed. Therefore, our results suggest that sex chromosome chromatin has a unique character that facilitates its meiotic expression when its continuity is lost, regardless of whether or not it is synapsed.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor OCT4 is highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells which are derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts. Pluripotency and self renewal are controlled by a transcription regulatory network governed by the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Recent studies on reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells highlight OCT4 as a key regulator of pluripotency.
RESULTS: We have carried out an integrated analysis of high-throughput data (ChIP-on-chip and RNAi experiments along with promoter sequence analysis of putative target genes) and identified a core OCT4 regulatory network in human embryonic stem cells consisting of 33 target genes. Enrichment analysis with these target genes revealed that this integrative analysis increases the functional information content by factors of 1.3 - 4.7 compared to the individual studies. In order to identify potential regulatory co-factors of OCT4, we performed a de novo motif analysis. In addition to known validated OCT4 motifs we obtained binding sites similar to motifs recognized by further regulators of pluripotency and development; e.g. the heterodimer of the transcription factors C-MYC and MAX, a prerequisite for C-MYC transcriptional activity that leads to cell growth and proliferation.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows how heterogeneous functional information can be integrated in order to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. As a test case we identified a core OCT4-regulated network that is important for the analysis of stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. Functional information is largely enriched using different experimental results. The de novo motif discovery identified well-known regulators closely connected to the OCT4 network as well as potential new regulators of pluripotency and differentiation. These results provide the basis for further targeted functional studies.

Project description:Here we report the discovery of a set of potent de-novo cyclic peptides (CPs) targeting different binding sites on KDM7B. One CP (OC9) bound directly to the KDM7 PHD-finger, as supported by bio-layer interferometry (BLI), isothermal calorimetry (ITC), hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDxMS) and NMR studies, and was highly selective for KDM7s over other PHD-fingers. OC9 disrupted PHD-finger binding to H3K4me3, and allosterically modulated KDM7 demethylase activity at H3K9me2 site on peptides and histone extracts demonstrating PHD-finger targeting is as JmjC-domain targeted inhibitors, but more selective for specific KDM7 subfamily member and certain combinatorial histone PTM signatures. Proteomic analysis confirmed OC9 to selectively target KDM7 in nuclear lysates demonstrating its high affinity and selectivity against other H3K4me3 reader domains and KDMs.

Project description:Chromatin state influences lifespan and may allow for the epigenetic inheritance of this complex trait. At sites of active transcription, the COMPASS complex methylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me). In Caenorhabditis elegans, reductions in COMPASS extend lifespan, and wild-type descendants of COMPASS mutants inherit longevity for four generations. Here we show that the longevity of COMPASS mutants is itself a transgenerational trait caused by gradual changes in the repressive chromatin factor H3K9me2. H3K9me2 is required for longevity in COMPASS mutants and can confer longevity when increased in other chromatin modifier mutants. H3K9me2 levels also correlate with a transgenerational decline in wild-type lifespan after freezing or starvation. We propose that germline transcription-coupled H3K4me encroaches on H3K9me2 to limit lifespan. Loss of COMPASS complex alleviates the burden of H3K4me and therefore extends lifespan. This study suggests a causal role for a single heterochromatin factor in the establishment and inheritance of longevity.

Project description:Linker histones are essential components of chromatin but the distributions and functions of many during cellular differentiation is not well understood. Here, we show that H1.5 binds to genic and intergenic regions, forming blocks of enrichment, in differentiated human cells from all three embryonic germ layers but not in embryonic stem cells. In differentiated cells, H1.5, but not H1.3, binds preferentially to genes that encode membrane and membrane-related proteins. Strikingly, 37% of H1.5 target genes belong to gene family clusters, groups of homologous genes that are located in proximity to each other on chromosomes. H1.5 binding is associated with gene repression and is required for SIRT1 binding, H3K9me2 enrichment and chromatin compaction. Depletion of H1.5 results in loss of SIRT1 and H3K9me2, increased chromatin accessibility, deregulation of gene expression and decreased cell growth. Our data reveal for the first time a specific and novel function for linker histone subtype H1.5 in maintenance of condensed chromatin at defined gene families in differentiated human cells.

Project description:The establishment and maintenance of chromatin domains shape the epigenetic memory of a cell, with histone H3 lysine 9 methylation defining repressed heterochromatin. We show that in C. elegans the SET-25 (SUV39/G9a) HMT that catalyzes H3K9me1-3, is able to establish repressed domains de novo. We identify here two distinct pathways that recruit SET-25 to its targets. One requires LIN-61 (L3MBTL2), a conserved protein with 4 MBT domains that recognizes H3K9me2 deposited by the HMT MET-2 (SETDB1). The second pathway is MET-2-independent and requires a somatic Argonaut NRDE-3 and 22nt small nuclear RNAs. This NRDE-3 pathway targets ~10% of all SET-25-modified loci genome-wide including intact RNA and DNA transposons. Removal of both pathways in the met-2;nrde-3 double mutant synergistically derepresses transposons in early embryos and elevates embryonic lethality. The redundancy of these pathways illustrates the key role played by chromatin-mediated silencing in protecting the genome against inherent threats.
