Project description:To understand whether parental histone PTM landscape plays roles in cell differentiation, we perturbed parental histone PTM allocation by mutating histone chaperone MCM2 on its histone binding domain (MCM2-2A mutation), disrupted only the histone transferring of MCM2 protein in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Combining single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics with lineage barcoding, we found that MCM2-2A mutant ESCs cannot be fully differentiated to neuronal precursor cells (NPCs), causing by the redistribution of H3K27me3, and subsequently NPC related gene expression. Here, we show that the parental histone allocation plays an important role in the establishment of chromatin landscapes, altering ESC differentiational potential, shaping expression programs and cell heterogeneity.

Project description:Chromatin-based epigenetic memory relies on the accurate distribution of parental histone tetramers to newly replicated DNA strands, serving as templates for chromatin structure duplication. Mcm2, a subunit of the replicative helicase, and the Dpb3/4, subunits of polymerase epsilon, govern parental histone deposition to the lagging and leading strands, respectively. However, their contribution to epigenetic inheritance remains controversial. Here we show in fission yeast that a Mcm2 histone chaperone mutation severely disrupts heterochromatin inheritance, while Dpb3/4 mutations cause only moderate defects. Surprisingly, simultaneous Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 mutations stabilizes heterochromatin inheritance. eSPAN analyses confirm the conservation of Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 functions in parental histone segregation, with their collective absence reducing segregation bias. Furthermore, the FACT histone chaperone also regulates parental histone transfer independently of strands and collaborates with Mcm2 and Dpb3/4 to maintain parental histone density, ensuring faithful heterochromatin inheritance. These results underscore the importance of precise parental histone segregation to the lagging strand for epigenetic inheritance and unveil unique properties of parental histone chaperones during DNA replication.

Project description:Faithful transfer of parental histones to newly replicated daughter DNA strands is critical for inheritance of epigenetic states. Although replication proteins that facilitate parental histone transfer have been identified, how intact histone H3-H4 tetramers travel relatively large distances from the front to the back of the replication fork remains unknown. Here, we use AlphaFold-Multimer structural predictions combined with biochemical and genetic approaches to identify the Mrc1/CLASPIN subunit of the replisome as a histone chaperone. Mrc1 contains a conserved histone binding domain that forms a brace around the H3-H4 tetramer mimicking nucleosomal DNA and H2A-H2B histones, is required for heterochromatin inheritance, and promotes parental histone recycling during replication. We further identify binding sites for the FACT histone chaperone in Swi1/TIMELESS and DNA polymerase α that are required for heterochromatin inheritance. We propose that Mrc1, in concert with FACT acting as a mobile co-chaperone, coordinates the distribution of parental histones to newly replicated DNA.

Project description:In this study, we constructed a tumor model of impaired inheritance of parental histones by introducing an MCM2 histone-binding domain (HBD) mutation in the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7. In this model, impaired histone inheritance resulted in dramatic epigenetic reprogramming, especially the pattern of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3, and promoted tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.

Project description:Modified parental histones are segregated symmetrically to daughter DNA strands during replication and inherited through mitosis. How this may sustain the epigenome and cell identity remains unknown. Here, we show that transmission of histone-based information during replication maintains epigenome fidelity and embryonic stem cell plasticity. Asymmetric segregation of parental histones H3-H4 in MCM2-2A mutants compromised mitotic inheritance of histone modifications and globally altered the epigenome. This included widespread spurious deposition of repressive modifications, suggesting elevated epigenetic noise. Moreover, H3K9me3 loss at repeats caused de-repression and H3K27me3 redistribution across bivalent promoters correlated with misexpression of developmental genes. MCM2-2A mutation challenged dynamic transitions in cellular states across the cell cycle, enhancing naïve pluripotency and reducing lineage priming in G1. Further, developmental competence was diminished, correlating with impaired exit from pluripotency. Collectively, this argues that epigenetic inheritance of histone modifications maintains a correctly balanced and dynamic chromatin landscape able to support mammalian differentiation.

Project description:Recycling of parental histones is an important step in epigenetic inheritance. During DNA replication, DNA polymerase epsilon subunit DPB3/DPB4 and DNA replication helicase subunit MCM2 are involved in the transfer of parental histones to the leading and lagging DNA strands, respectively. Single Dpb3 deletion (dpb3[DELTA]) or Mcm2 mutation (mcm2-3A), which each disrupt one parental histone transfer pathway, leads to the other[prime]s predominance. However, the impact of the two histone transfer pathways on chromatin structure and DNA repair remains elusive. In this study, we used budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to determine the genetic and epigenetic outcomes from disruption of parental histone H3-H4 tetramer transfer. We found that a dpb3[DELTA]/mcm2-3A double mutant did not exhibit the single dpb3[DELTA] and mcm2-3A mutants[prime] asymmetric parental histone patterns, suggesting that the processes by which parental histones are transferred to the leading and lagging strands are independent. Surprisingly, the frequency of homologous recombination was significantly lower in dpb3[DELTA], mcm2-3A, and dpb3[DELTA]/mcm2-3A mutants relative to the wild-type strain, likely due to the elevated levels of free histones detected in the mutant cells. Together, these findings indicate that proper transfer of parental histones to the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication is essential for maintaining chromatin structure and that high levels of free histones due to parental histone transfer defects are detrimental to cells.
