Project description:The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 act non-redundantly at target genes to maintain transcriptional programs and ensure cellular identity. PRC2 methylates lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me), while PRC1 mono-ubiquitinates histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2Aub1). Here we present engineered mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) targeting the PRC2 subunits EZH1 and EZH2 to discriminate between contributions of distinct H3K27 methylation states and the presence of PRC2/1 at chromatin. We generate catalytically inactive EZH2 mutant ESCs, demonstrating that H3K27 methylation, but not recruitment to the chromatin, is essential for proper ESC differentiation. We further show that EZH1 activity is sufficient to maintain repression of Polycomb targets by depositing H3K27me2/3 and preserving PRC1 recruitment. This occurs in the presence of altered H3K27me1 deposition at actively transcribed genes and by a diffused hyperacetylation of chromatin that compromises ESC developmental potential. Overall, this work provides insights for the contribution of diffuse chromatin invasion by acetyltransferases in PRC2-dependent loss of developmental control.

Project description:The Wnt/b-catenin signaling inhibits adipogenesis. Genome-wide profiling studies have revealed the enrichment of histone H3K27 methyltransferase PRC2 on Wnt genes. However, the functional significance of such a direct link between the two types of developmental regulators in mammalian cells, and the role of PRC2 in adipogenesis, remain unclear. Here we show PRC2 and its H3K27 methyltransferase activity are required for adipogenesis. PRC2 directly represses Wnt1, 6, 10a and 10b genes in preadipocytes and during adipogenesis. Deletion of the enzymatic Ezh2 subunit of PRC2 eliminates H3K27me3 on Wnt promoters and de-represses Wnt expression, which leads to activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling and inhibition of adipogenesis. Ectopic expression of the wild type Ezh2, but not the enzymatically inactive F667I mutant, prevents the loss of H3K27me3 and the defects in adipogenesis in Ezh2-/- preadipocytes. The adipogenesis defects in Ezh2-/- cells can be rescued by expression of adipogenic transcription factors PPARa, C/EBPb, or inhibitors of Wnt/b-catenin signaling. Interestingly, Ezh2-/- cells show marked increase of H3K27 acetylation globally as well as on Wnt promoters. These results indicate that H3K27 methyltransferase PRC2 directly represses Wnt genes to facilitate adipogenesis, and suggest that acetylation and trimethylation on H3K27 play opposing roles in regulating Wnt expression. To identify additional PRC2-regulated genes in preadipocytes, we performed microarray analysis in Ezh2flox/flox preadipocytes infected with retroviruses expressing Cre or vector alone.

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes H3K27 methylation and is required for maintaining transcriptional patterns and cellular identity, but the specification and maintenance of genomic PRC2 binding and H3K27 methylation patterns remain incompletely understood. Epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed, wherein pre-existing H3K27 methylation directs recruitment and regulates the catalytic activity of PRC2 to support its own maintenance. Here we investigate if such mechanisms are required for specifying H3K27 methylation patterns in mouse embryonic stem cells. Through genetic knockouts of subunits, we find that PRC2 is responsible for all levels of H3K27 methylation, and that methylation patterns can be accurately established de novo, when a subunit is reintroduced in the absence of pre-existing H3K27 methylation and PRC2 chromatin binding. Furthermore, we find that the core-subunit SUZ12 directs genomic binding of PRC2, which is essential for establishing correct methylation patterns.

Project description:The acquisition of neuronal identity requires the coordinated action of transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes. However, little is known about the mechanisms that are responsible for maintaining neuronal identity throughout life. The paralogous lysine acetyltransferases CBP and p300 are both essential during development, but their specific function in postmitotic neurons remains unclear. Here, we show that when both KATs are simultaneously knocked out in excitatory neurons of the mouse adult brain, the mice express a rapidly progressing neurological phenotype. This phenotype is associated with a loss of physiological, morphological and transcriptional features defining excitatory neuron identity. This correlates with a dramatic loss of H3K27 acetylation and occupancy by pro-neural transcription factors at neuron-specific genes and enhancers. Restoring CBP expression or lysine acetylation restitutes neuronal-specific gene expression. These experiments demonstrate that CBP and p300 are jointly necessary for maintaining neuronal identity and function by preserving correct chromatin acetylation levels in the adult brain.
