Project description:Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) comprise a significant portion of mammalian genomes. Although specific ERV loci feature regulatory roles for host gene expression, most ERV integrations are transcriptionally repressed by Setdb1 mediated H3K9me3 and DNA methylation. However, the protein network which regulates the deposition of these chromatin modifications is still incompletely understood. Here, we performed a genome-wide sgRNA screen for genes involved in ERV silencing and identified the GHKL ATPase protein Morc3 as a top-scoring hit. Morc3 knock-out cells display de-repression, reduced H3K9me3, and increased chromatin accessibility of distinct ERV families. We found that the Morc3 ATPase cycle and Morc3 SUMOylation are important for ERV chromatin regulation. Proteomic analysis revealed that Morc3 mutant proteins fail to interact with the histone H3.3 chaperone Daxx. This interaction depends on Morc3 SUMOylation and Daxx SUMO binding. Notably, in Morc3 ko cells, we observed strongly reduced histone H3.3 on Morc3 binding sites. Thus, our data demonstrate Morc3 as a critical regulator of Daxx-mediated histone H3.3 incorporation to ERV regions. This dataset comprises several experiments addressing different questions: 1. ChIP-MS experiment to determine the protein interaction context of Morc3 using a Morc3-3xFLAG knock-in ES cell line compared to wild type ES cells (Experiment 20200408). 2. ChIP-MS experiments to investigate changes in the protein interaction context of the Morc3 mutant rescue cell lines. Comparison of Morc3 knock-out cell lines with re-expression of Morc3-CW-3xFLAG mutant (Ref. #3111), Morc3-ATP-binding-3xFLAG and Morc3-SUMOylation-3xFLAG mutants (Ref. #3635), and Morc3-deltaN-3xFLAG mutant (Ref. #5174) compared to wt Morc3-3XFLAG rescue. 3. ChIP-MS experiment to determine if the interaction between Morc3 and Daxx is mediated through this C-terminal SIM, comparing Daxx knock-out cell lines with re-expression of wild type 3xFLAG-Daxx protein or 3xFLAG-Daxx ∆SIM, which lacks the C-terminal SIM domain.

Project description:Objective: Daxx is a protein with multiple functions and is essential for embryonic development. Daxx knockout embryos fail to develop properly and exhibit lethal phenotype around E6.5. One of the important functions is as a histone chaperone for the histone H3 variant, H3.3. Daxx interacts with Atrx to form a protein complex that deposits H3.3 into heterochromatic regions of the genome, including centromeres, telomeres and repeat loci. Here, we investigated how histone chaperone function of Daxx contributes to the embryonic development. Methods: We developed two Daxx mutant alleles in the mouse germline which abolish the interactions between Daxx and Atrx (DaxxY130A), Daxx and H3.3 (DaxxS226A). We set up mating between either heterozygous DaxxY130A or heterozygous DaxxS226A individually and looked for the viability of homozygous mutants at different development stages. We also performed bulk RNA-seq on tissues from the two mutant embryos and analyzed the changes in gene expression and transposable elements (TE). Results: We found that the interaction between Daxx and Atrx is dispensable for viability in both the pre- and post-natal setting as homozygous Daxx-Y130A mutants are both viable and fertile. The loss of the Atrx interaction, however, does cause dysregulated expression of both endogenous retroviruses and nearby protein coding genes. On the contrary, the interaction between Daxx and H3.3 is not required for embryonic development but is essential for postnatal viability. Transcriptome analysis of embryonic tissues demonstrates that this interaction is important for silencing endogenous retroviruses and for maintaining proper hematopoiesis. Conclusions: The histone chaperone function of Daxx is dispensable for embryonic development but important for hematopoiesis, which is independent of the interaction with Atrx. Moreover, both the interactions with Atrx and with H3.3 is important for regulation of ERV expression. Overall, these results clearly demonstrate that Daxx and H3.3 have both Atrx-dependent and independent functions, advancing our understanding of this epigenetic regulatory complex.
