Project description:INO80 complex is an ATPase-dependent chormatin remodeling complex, which regulates various DNA metabolic processes such as DNA replication and repair. Additionally, INO80 complex also contributes to the regulation of gene expression in sterss response and development. In order to investigate the function of INO80 complex in rhabdomyosarcoma, we examined the knockdown of subunits of INO80 complex Actr5, Ies6, and Ino80 in human rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells. As a result, it was found that INO80 complex is involved in the sarcomagenicity and the disregulation of myogenic properties of rhabdomyosarcoma cells.
Project description:We mapped 4 subunits of the INO80 complex using ChIP-seq in HepG2 liver cancer cells. We found a subclass of sites occupied by the INO80 ATPase subunit, but not by any accessory subunits that we call 'Non-canonical' INO80 sites. These sites are characterized by repressed chromatin.
Project description:We mapped 4 subunits of the INO80 complex using ChIP-seq in HepG2 and Huh7 liver cancer cell lines. We found a subclass of sites occupied by the INO80 ATPase subunit, but not by any accessory subunits that we call 'Autonomous' INO80 sites. These sites are present in both HepG2 and Huh7 cells and are characterized by repressed chromatin. Relief of reprissive histone modifications thorugh EZH2 inhbiition led to the increase in H3K27ac at INO80 targets.
Project description:In the multi-subunit INO80 chromatin-remodeling complex, all the auxiliary subunits assemble on three distinct domains of the catalytic chromatin remodeler INO80, which are N-terminal domain, HSA domain, and ATPase domain. While the ATPase and HSA domains and the auxiliary subunits assembling on the domains are known to be responsible for ATP hydrolysis and chromatin remodeling, it is largely unknown how the auxiliary subunits assembling on the INO80 N-terminal domain regulate the chromatin status. We identify both conserved and non-conserved auxiliary subunits of the INO80 complex in Arabidopsis thaliana. All the auxiliary subunits assemble on the conserved N-terminal domain, HSA domain, and ATPase domain of INO80 in Arabidopsis. While the auxiliary subunits assembling on the INO80 ATPase domain are required for the ATPase-dependent function, the INO80 N-terminal domain and the auxiliary subunits assembling on the domain can regulate gene expression and development even when the ATPase domain is absent, suggesting that INO80 has an ATPase-independent role. Furthermore, we find that a subclass of the COMPASS histone H3K4 methyltransferase complexes assemble on the INO80 N-terminal domain in the INO80 complex and function together with the other auxiliary subunits assembling on the INO80 N-terminal domain, thereby facilitating the ATPase-independent function. This study suggests that the conserved chromatin remodeler INO80 has an ATPase-independent role and demonstrates that the auxiliary subunits assembling on the INO80 N-terminal domain are required for the ATPase-independent role.

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of INO80 knockdown by siRNA in human kidney-2 cells (HK-2). We found that downstream target genes of INO80. This study provides novel insights into the chromatin remodeling factors regulated by INO80 in renal epithelial cells.
Project description:We carried out two sets of experiments to understand how the INO80 complex affected gene expression. Expression analysis following depletion of INO80 with two siRNAs to determine INO80 dependent transcription programs. In addition siMCRS1 or siNTG expression analysis with and without treatment with EZH2 inhibitor (EPZ-6438) was performed to determine what genes in HepG2 cells are de-repressed by EZH2 inhibition, and test the hypothesis that changes at INO80 autonomous sites would depdend on expression of other INO80 subunits (MCRS1). We found that de-repression caused by EZH2 inhbition was blunted when cells were treated with an siRNA targeting MCRS1 and that this was especially pronounced at a set of INO80 target genes.
Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are essential for transcription regulation, and yet it is unclear how these multisubunit complexes coordinate their activities to facilitate diverse transcriptional responses. In this study, we found that the conserved Arp5 and Ies6 subunits of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae INO80 chromatin-remodeler form an abundant and distinct subcomplex in vivo and stimulate INO80-mediated activity in vitro. Moreover, our genomic studies reveal that the relative occupancy of Arp5-Ies6 correlates with nucleosome positioning at transcriptional start sites and expression levels of >1,000 INO80- regulated genes. Notably, these genes are significantly enriched in energy metabolism pathways. Specifically, arp5d, ies6d, and ino80d mutants demonstrate decreased expression of genes involved in glycolysis and increased expression of genes in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Deregulation of these metabolic pathways results in constitutively elevated mitochondrial potential and oxygen consumption. Our results illustrate the dynamic nature of the INO80 complex assembly and demonstrate for the first time that a chromatin remodeler regulates glycolytic and respiratory capacity, thereby maintaining metabolic stability.
Project description:Centromere is the chromosomal locus at which kinetochore is assembled to direct chromosome segregation. Histone H3 variant CENP-A epigenetically marks active centromeres; however, the mechanism by which CENP-A propagates at the centromere, replacing histone H3, remains poorly understood. Using fission yeast, we find that CENP-ACnp1 chromatin assembly at the centromere requires the Ino80 ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex which removes histone H3-containing nucleosomes from associated chromatin. CENP-ACnp1 chromatin actively recruits the Ino80 complex to centromeres to elicit eviction of histone H3-containing nucleosomes. Artificial targeting of Ino80 subunits to a non-centromeric DNA placed in a native centromere enhances the spreading of CENP-ACnp1 chromatin into the non-centromeric DNA. Based on these results, we propose that CENP-ACnp1 chromatin employs the Ino80 complex to mediate replacement of histone H3 with CENP-ACnp1, and thereby reinforces itself.
