Project description:Actr5 is one of the subunits of the ATPase-dependent chromatin remodeling complex INO80. In muscle tissues such as skeletal muscle, heart, and aorta, the expression of Actr5 is much lower than that in non-muscle tissues. During skeletal and smooth muscle development, it interacts with transcription factors such as MyoD, MyoG, SRF, and myocardin to play a repressive role in muscle differentiation, but its physiological role in cardiac development is not entirely clear. To investigate the role of Actr5 in the heart, AAV6 expression vectors containing Actr5 gene were infected into mice, and total RNA were extracted from the heart, followed by DNA microarray analysis.
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: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:INO80 is the catalytic subunit of the multi-subunit INO80-chromatin remodeling complex that has been implicated in DNA replication, repair, and transcription regulation. Ino80-deficiency in murine spermatocytes (Ino80cKO) results in pachytene arrest of spermatocytes, due to incomplete synapsis and aberrant DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) that leads to apoptosis. We explored the mechanism by which INO80 mediates meiotic progression. RNA-seq on Ino80cKO spermatocytes revealed major changes in transcription, indicating that an aberrant transcription program arises upon INO80 depletion. In Ino80WTspermatocytes, genome-wide analysis showed that INO80-binding sites were mostly promoter proximal and necessary for the regulation of spermatogenic gene expression, primarily of premeiotic and meiotic genes. Further, most of the genes poised for activity, as well as those genes that are active, shared INO80 binding. In Ino80cKO spermatocytes, most poised genes demonstrated de-repression due to reduced H3K27me3 enrichment, and in turn showed increased expression levels. INO80 interacts with the core PRC2 complex member SUZ12 and promotes its recruitment. Further, INO80 mediates H2A.Z incorporation at the poised promoters, which was reduced in Ino80cKO spermatocytes. Taken together, INO80 is emerging as a major regulator of the meiotic transcription program by mediating poised chromatin establishment through SUZ12 binding.

Project description:The project aimed to investigate the composition/interactome of the human INO80 complex. To this end, INO80B - a core INO80 complex subunit - was endogenously tagged with V5 epitope tag at its C terminus in MCF-7 cells, and co-immunoprecipitation followed by LC-MS/MS analysis was performed using anti-V5 Abs.
