MeCP2 heterochromatin organization is modulated by arginine methylation and serine phosphorylation

Project description:Rett syndrome is a human intellectual disability disorder that is associated with mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene. Theepigenetic reader MeCP2 binds to methylated cytosines on the DNA and regulates chromatin organization. We have shownpreviously that MECP2 Rett syndrome missense mutations are impaired in chromatin binding and heterochromatinreorganization. Here, we performed a proteomics analysis of post-translational modifications of MeCP2 isolated from adult mousebrain. We show that MeCP2 carries various post-translational modifications, among them phosphorylation on S80 and S421, whichlead to minor changes in either heterochromatin binding kinetics or clustering. We found that MeCP2 is (di)methylated on severalarginines and that this modification alters heterochromatin organization. Interestingly, we identified the Rett syndrome mutationsite R106 as a dimethylation site. In addition, co-expression of protein arginine methyltransferases 1 and 6 lead to a decrease ofheterochromatin clustering. Altogether, we identified and validated novel modifications of MeCP2 in the brain and show that thesecan modulate its ability to bind as well as reorganize heterochromatin, which may play a role in the pathology of Rett syndrome.

Wild-type and Mecp2 -/y callosal projection neurons

Project description:Mutations of the transcriptional regulator Mecp2 cause the X-linked autism spectrum disorder Rett syndrome (RTT), and Mecp2 has been implicated in several other neurodevelopmental disorders. To identify potential target genes regulated directly or indirectly by MeCP2, we performed comparative gene expression analysis via oligonucleotide microarrays on Mecp2-/y (Mecp2-null) and wild-type CPN purified via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).

Multiplex Epigenome Editing of MECP2 to Rescue Rett Syndrome Neurons (WGBS)

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function heterozygous mutations of MECP2. Reactivation of the silent wild-type MECP2 allele on the inactive X chromosome (Xi) represents a promising therapeutic opportunity for female RTT patients. Here, we applied a multiplex epigenome editing approach to reactivate MECP2 on Xi. Demethylation of the MECP2 promoter by dCas9-Tet1 with target sgRNA reactivated MECP2 on Xi in RTT hESCs without detectable off-target effects at the transcriptome level. Neurons derived from methylation edited RTT hESCs reversed the smaller soma size and electrophysiological abnormalities. Insulation of the methylation edited MECP2 locus in RTT neurons by dCpf1-CTCF with target crRNA stabilized MECP2 reactivation and rescued the RTT-related neuronal defects, providing a proof-of-concept study for multiplex epigenome editing to treat RTT.

Length-dependent gene misregulation in Rett syndrome (MeCP2)

Project description:Disruption of the MECP2 gene leads to Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurological disorder with features of autism. MECP2 encodes a methyl-DNA-binding protein that is proposed to function as a transcriptional repressor, but, despite numerous studies examining neuronal gene expression in MeCP2 mutants, no coherent model has emerged for how MeCP2 regulates transcription. Here we identify a genome-wide length-dependent increase in the expression of long genes in neurons lacking MeCP2. This gene misregulation occurs in human RTT brains and correlates with onset and severity of phenotypes in Mecp2 mutant mice, suggesting that the disruption of long gene expression contributes to RTT pathology. We present evidence that MeCP2 represses long genes by binding to brain-enriched, methylated CA dinucleotides within genes and show that loss of methylated CA in the brain recapitulates gene expression defects observed in MeCP2 mutants. We find that long genes encode proteins with neuronal functions, and overlap substantially with genes that have been implicated in autism and Fragile X syndrome. Reversing the overexpression of long genes in neurons lacking MeCP2 can improve some RTT-associated cellular deficits. These findings suggest that a function of MeCP2 in the mammalian brain is to temper the expression of genes in a length-dependent manner, and that mutations in MeCP2 and possibly other autism genes may cause neurological dysfunction by disrupting the expression of long genes in the brain.

Transcription profiling of human super frontal gyrus (post mortem brain) from Rett syndrome patients and age sex matched controls reveals FXYD1, an MeCP2 target gene overexpressed in the brains of Rett syndrome patients and Mecp2-null mice

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT, OMIM 312750) is a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder linked to heterozygous de novo mutations in the MECP2 gene. MECP2 encodes methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which represses gene transcription by binding to 5-methylcytosine residues in symmetrically positioned CpG dinucleotides. The disorder is almost exclusively diagnosed in females, because males affected by the disease usually die perinatally due to severe encephalopathy. Direct MeCP2 target genes underlying the neuropathogenesis of RTT remain largely unknown.

Neuronal cytoskeletal gene dysregulation drives mechanical hypersensitivity in Rett Syndrome

Project description:This study investigated mechanisms of peripheral sensory abnormalities in Rett Syndrome using a MeCP2 knockout rat. Dramatic changes in peripheral innervation by DRG sensory neurons were observed in the knockout rats that strongly correlated with modality-specific sensory dysfunction. The cell-autonomous effect of MeCP2 mutation in DRG neurons disrupt axon growth mechanisms leading to the altered cutaneous innervation density. We performed RNA-Seq to compare the transcriptome of MeCP2 KO DRGs with that derived from wildtype littermates. This revealed profound impact of MeCP2 loss on axon growth regulatory pathways in sensory neurons. The findings will have significant impact on our understanding of sensory dysfunctions in Rett syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders at large.
