Project description:Fibrillarin (FBL) is a dual function nucleolar protein which catalyses 2´-O methylation of pre-rRNA and methylation of histone H2A at glutamine 104 (H2AQ104me). The mechanisms that regulate FBL activity are unexplored. Here we show that FBL is acetylated at several lysine residues by the acetyltransferase CBP and deacetylated by SIRT7. While reversible acetylation does not impact FBL-mediated pre-rRNA methylation, hyperacetylation impairs the interaction of FBL with histone H2A and chromatin, thereby compromsing H2AQ104 methylation (H2AQ104me) and rDNA transcription. SIRT7-dependent deacetylation of FBL ensures H2AQ104me and high levels of rRNA synthesis during interphase. At the onset of mitosis, nucleolar disassembly is accompanied by hyperacetylation of FBL, loss of H2AQ104me and repression of Pol I transcription. H2AQ104me and transcriptional activity are restored by overexpression of an acetylation-deficient but not by an acetylation-mimicking FBL mutant. The results reveal that SIRT7-dependent deacetylation impacts nucleolar activity by a FBL-driven circuitry that mediates cell cycle-dependent fluctuation of rDNA transcription.

Project description:SIRT7 is an NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase with important roles in ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation. Previous studies have established that SIRT7 is associated with RNA polymerase I, interacts with pre-rRNA and promotes rRNA synthesis. Here we show that SIRT7 is also associated with snoRNAs that are involved in pre-rRNA processing and rRNA maturation. Knockdown of SIRT7 impairs U3 snoRNA-dependent early cleavage steps that are necessary for generation of 18S rRNA. Mechanistically, SIRT7 deacetylates U3-55k, a core component of the U3 snoRNP complex, and reversible acetylation of U3-55k modulates the association of U3-55k with U3 snoRNA. Deacetylation by SIRT7 enhances U3-55k binding to U3 snoRNA, which is a prerequisite for pre-rRNA processing. Under stress conditions, SIRT7 is released from nucleoli, leading to hyperacetylation of U3-55k and attenuation of prerRNA processing. The results reveal a multifaceted role of SIRT7 in ribosome biogenesis, regulating both transcription and processing of rRNA. CLIP-seq was performed in Flag-SIRT7-293T cells.

Project description:Sirtuin proteins regulate diverse cellular pathways that influence genomic stability, metabolism, and ageing. SIRT7 is a mammalian sirtuin whose biochemical activity, molecular targets, and physiologic functions have been unclear. Here we show that SIRT7 is an NAD+-dependent, histone H3 acetyl-lysine 18 (H3K18Ac) deacetylase that stabilizes the transformed state of cancer cells. Genome-wide binding studies reveal that SIRT7 binds to promoters of a specific set of gene targets, where it deacetylates H3K18Ac and promotes transcriptional repression. The spectrum of SIRT7 target genes is defined in part by interaction of SIRT7 with the cancer-related ETS transcription factor ELK4, and comprises numerous genes with links to tumour suppression. Notably, selective hypoacetylation of H3K18Ac has recently been linked to oncogenic transformation, and in patients, is associated with aggressive tumour phenotypes and poor prognosis. We find that deacetylation of H3K18Ac by SIRT7 is necessary for maintaining essential features of human cancer cells including anchorage independent growth and escape from contact inhibition. Moreover, SIRT7 is necessary for a global hypoacetylation of H3K18Ac associated with cellular transformation by viral oncoproteins. Finally, SIRT7 depletion markedly reduces the tumourigenicity of human cancer cell xenografts in mice. Together, our work establishes SIRT7 as the first known site-specific H3K18Ac deacetylase and demonstrates a pivotal role for SIRT7 in chromatin regulation, cellular transformation programs, and tumour formation in vivo. SIRT7 ChIP-seq was performed in K562 cell lines under normal conditions. Two replicates were performed for both the SIRT7 ChIP as well as input control.

Project description:SIRT7 is a member of the mammalian sirtuin family of NAD+ dependent deacylases, and interacts with RNA polymerase I and UBF to regulate rDNA transcription. Various studies in mammalian cells and human clinical data have linked SIRT7 to cancer. However studies differ as to whether SIRT7 is oncogenic or tumor suppressive. Here we analyzed SIRT7 knockout mice and found SIRT7 deficiency caused sub-Mendelian birth numbers and a reduction in body size. Moreover, at 18 month of age, roughly 60 % of the SIRT7 knockout mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in many cases leading to suspected metastasis. Several HCC associated genes were up-regulated in livers of mice as young as 6 months of age, particularly targets of the proto-oncogene, c- MYC. Indeed SIRT7 interacts with MYC at endogenous protein levels and also represses MYC activity. Our findings thus show that SIRT7 acts as a tumor suppressor in vivo, and may suggest novel strategies to treat liver cancer.

Project description:Long interspersed elements-1 (LINE-1, L1) are retrotransposons that hold the capacity of selfpropagation in the genome with potential mutagenic outcomes. How somatic cells restrict L1 activity and how this process becomes dysfunctional during aging and in cancer cells is poorly understood. L1s are enriched at lamin associated domains, heterochromatic regions of the nuclear periphery. Whether this association is necessary for their repression has been elusive. Here we show that the sirtuin family member SIRT7 participates in the epigenetic transcriptional repression of L1 genome-wide in both mouse and human cells. SIRT7 depletion leads to increased L1 expression and retrotransposition. Mechanistically, we identify a novel interplay between SIRT7 and Lamin A/C in L1 repression. Our results demonstrate that SIRT7-mediated H3K18 deacetylation regulates L1 expression by promoting L1 association with elements of the nuclear lamina. The failure of such activity might contribute to the observed genome instability and compromised viability in SIRT7 knockout mice. Overall, our results reveal a novel function of SIRT7 on chromatin organization by mediating the anchoring of L1 to the nuclear envelope, and a new mechanism by which the nuclear lamina maintains genome integrity.

Project description:Nucleosomes are decorated with numerous post-translational modifications capable of influencing many DNA processes. Here, we describe a new class of modification, methylation of glutamine, occurring on yeast histone H2A at position 105 (Q105) and human H2A at Q104. We identify Nop1 as the methyltransferase in yeast and we demonstrate that Fibrillarin is the equivalent enzyme in human cells. Glutamine methylation of H2A is restricted to the nucleolus. Global analysis in yeast, using a H2AQ105me specific antibody, show that this modification is exclusively enriched over the 35S rDNA transcriptional unit. We show that the Q105 residue is part of the binding site for the histone chaperone FACT (Facilitator of Transcription) complex. Methylation of Q105 or its substitution to alanine disrupts binding to FACT in vitro. A yeast strain mutated at Q105 exhibits a defect in histone incorporation and shows increased transcription at rDNA genes. This defect is phenocopied by mutations in FACT that decrease its activity. Together these data identify glutamine methylation of H2A as the first histone epigenetic mark dedicated to a specific RNA polymerase and define its function as a regulator of FACT interaction with nucleosomes.

Project description:B lymphopoiesis is a key developmental event orchestrated by a complex combinatorial action of lineage-specific transcription factors. In early B cell progenitors, lineage commitment is directly mediated by the master regulator Pax5, whose deficiency is commonly associated with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Despite its essential role in mammalian immunity, the regulatory mechanisms that control Pax5 function remain largely unknown. Here we show that NAD+-dependent enzyme SIRT7 coordinates B cell development progression through regulation of Pax5 function. We have identified a SIRT7-dependent regulatory switch based on dynamic deacetylation of a single Pax5 residue, which controls its activity and thereby B cell fate. While a PAX5K198 acetylated mimic is incapable of inducing both B cell development and identity due to reduced protein stability and impaired binding to chromatin, deacetylation of this residue boosts Pax5 activity, leading to massive gene repression and restoration of B cell commitment but not differentiation in vivo. These findings suggest an unexpected uncoupling of hematopoietic differentiation and lineage commitment. Further supporting the functional relevance of the SIRT7-PAX5 axis, the interplay between both factors is largely conserved in human B-ALL, where high SIRT7 expression is an independent good prognostic factor. Our findings unveil a crucial mechanism in the regulation of B-cell production based on the control of Pax5 function and underscore the key role of Sirtuins in the regulation of the immune system.
