Project description:DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3A) plays a crucial role in multiple biological processes during mouse development. We report that the longer isoform DNMT3A1, but not the shorter DNMT3A2, is essential for mouse postnatal development. DNMT3A1 binds to and regulates bivalent developmental genes in the brain. The disordered N-terminal domain is required for DNMT3A1-regulated development, DNA methylation and gene expression in the nervous system. A potential ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) in the N-terminus may bind to histone H2AK119 ubiquitination, mediating the recruitment of DNMT3A1 to its targets. These data reveal the N-terminus as a necessary regulatory domain for DNMT3A1 chromatin occupancy and functions.

Project description:As an essential regulator of higher-order chromatin structures, CTCF is a highly conserved DNA binding protein with a central DNA-binding domain of 11 tandem zinc fingers, which are flanked by N- and C-terminal domains of intrinsically disordered regions. The N-terminal domain interacts with cohesin complex and the central ZF domains recognize a large range of diverse genomic sites. However, the function of C-terminal unstructured domain remains less understood. Here, we found that deletion of C-terminal fragment of 116 amino acid increases CTCF-DNA binding. By genetic dissection of this fragment, we uncovered a negatively-charged region responsible for repressing CTCF binding to DNA. Thus, the unstructured C-terminal domain play an important role in maintaining proper CTCF-DNA interactions.

Project description:DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) deposit repressive DNA methylation, which regulates gene expression and is essential for mammalian development. Histone post-translational modifications can recruit DNMTs to DNA. The PWWP domains of DNMT3A and DNMT3B are posited to interact with histone 3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3); however, the functionality of this interaction for DNMT3A remains untested in vivo. Here we present a mouse model carrying a D329A point mutation in the DNMT3A PWWP domain. The mutation causes dominant postnatal growth retardation. At the molecular level, it results in aberrant progressive acquisition of DNA methylation across domains marked by bivalent chromatin, resulting in de-repression of important developmental regulatory genes in adult hypothalamus. Evaluation of non-CpG methylation further demonstrates the altered recruitment and activity of mutant DNMT3A at bivalent domains. This work provides key molecular insights into analogous growth phenotypes observed in humans with congenital mutations in the DNMT3A PWWP domain.

Project description:DROSHA serves as a gatekeeper of the microRNA (miRNA) pathway by processing primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs). While the functions of structured domains of DROSHA have been well-documented, the contribution of N-terminal proline-rich disordered domain (PRD) remains elusive. Here we show that the PRD promotes the processing of miRNA hairpins located within introns. We identified a DROSHA isoform (p140) lacking the PRD, which is produced by proteolytic cleavage. Small RNA sequencing revealed that p140 is significantly impaired in the maturation of intronic miRNAs. Consistently, our minigene constructs demonstrated that PRD enhances the processing of intronic hairpins, but not those in exons. Splice site mutations did not affect the PRD’s enhancing effect on intronic constructs, suggesting that the PRD acts independently of splicing reaction by interacting with sequences residing within introns. The N-terminal regions from zebrafish and Xenopus DROSHA can replace the human counterpart, indicating functional conservation despite poor sequence alignment. Moreover, we found that rapidly evolving intronic miRNAs are generally more dependent on PRD than conserved ones, suggesting a role of PRD in miRNA evolution. Our study reveals a new layer of miRNA regulation mediated by a low-complexity disordered domain that senses the genomic contexts of miRNA loci.

Project description:DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining DNA methylation patterns. However, the mechanisms underlying DNMT3A recruitment to and function within different chromatin environments remain unclear. Using a combination of biochemical and structural approaches we find that DNMT3A interacts using multiple interfaces with chromatin; directly binding generic nucleosome features as well as site-specific post-translational histone modifications. The N-terminal region, unique to the DNMT3A1 isoform, is essential for these interactions and stabilises H3K36me2-nucleosome recruitment. Intriguingly, in the same region critical for nucleosome binding we also map a ubiquitylation-dependent recruitment motif (UDR). The UDR binds specifically to ubiquitylated H2AK119, explaining the previously observed recruitment to Polycomb-occupied heterochromatin. A cryo-EM structure of DNMT3A1-DNMT3L with a modified nucleosome reveals that the UDR interacts with the nucleosome surface including the acidic patch. Previously unexplained disease-associated mutations are present in the UDR and ablate nucleosome interactions. This leads to an increased understanding of how DNMT3A1 recruitment occurs in the genome and highlights the importance of multivalent binding of DNMT3A to histone modifications and the nucleosome.

Project description:Human periostin is a 78-91 kDa alternatively spliced protein belonging to the group of matricellular proteins. The protein has been implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor development, and metastasis, inflammatory diseases like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and asthma. The C-terminal may be alternatively spliced, but the role of the ten variants is not understood. Here we investigate the structure of the C-terminal domain containing the protein sequence encoded by the fourall exons and its interactome. Structural analysis using SAXS, CD spectroscopy, and limited proteolysis suggested that the C-terminal domain was disordered. In addition, the motif responsible for heparin-binding was mapped to an arginine-rich sequence in the conserved very C-terminal part of periostin. Co-immunoprecipitationPull-down confirmed three known interaction partners bound to the C-terminal domain of periostin and identified an additional 140 novel potential interaction partners. Nine of these have been implicated in atopic dermatitis. Based on our findings, we suggest that the C-terminal domain anchor periostin to cell surfaces and facilitates interactions between connective tissue components or other cells. We propose that the C-terminal domain is a central part of the suggested function as a multifunctional modulator of extracellular matrix stability and wound healing.
