Project description:Histone variant H3.3 is encoded by two genes, H3f3a and H3f3b, which can be expressed differentially depending on tissue type. Previous work in our lab has shown that knockout of H3f3b causes some neonatal lethality and infertility in mice, and chromosomal defects in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Studies of H3f3a and H3f3b null mice by others have produced generally similar phenotypes to what we found in our H3f3b nulls, but the relative impacts of loss of either H3f3a or H3f3b have varied depending on the approach and genetic background. Here we used a knockout-first approach to target the H3f3a gene for inactivation in C57BL6/J mice. Homozygous H3f3a targeting produced a lethal phenotype at or before birth. E13.5 embryos had some potential morphological differences from WT littermates including smaller size and reduced head size, while an E18.5 null embryo was smaller than its control littermates with several potential defects including small head and brain size as well as small lungs, which would be consistent with a late gestation lethal phenotype. Despite a reduction in H3.3 and total H3 protein levels, the only histone H3 post-translational modification in the small panel assessed that was significantly altered was the unique H3.3 mark phospho-Serine31, which was consistently increased in null neurospheres. H3f3a null neurospheres also exhibited consistent gene expression changes including in protocadherins. Overall, our findings are consistent with the model that there are differential, cell-type-specific contributions of H3f3a and H3f3b to H3.3 functions in epigenetic and developmental processes.

Project description:Study to investigate the role of histone residues H3K4 and H3K36 for gene expression, histone localization and neuronal lineage specification by mutation of K4 and K36 in H3.3 to alanine. Histone variant H3.3 differs from the canonical H3.1/H3.2 by only 4 to 5 amino acids, which are necessary for nucleosome assembly independent of DNA replication, and is encoded by two gene copies. Complete loss of the two H3.3 genes (H3f3a and H3f3b) leads to embryonic lethality while single gene knockout yields viable mice. We used CRISPR-Cas9 to delete H3f3a and introduce homozygous point-mutations into H3f3b, thus ensuring that the entire pool of H3.3 protein carries the mutation of interest. We differentiated H3.3ctrl (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b wild type), H3.3K4A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K4A) and H3.3K36A mutant (H3f3a knock-out; H3f3b K36A) ESCs into glutamatergic neurons. To assess the effect of the K4A mutation on Pol II activity, nascent RNA levels were mesaured by PRO-seq.

Gene expression profiles were measured by mRNA-Sequencing in undifferentiated ESCs (D0), neurodevelopment (D8) and differentiated neurons (D12) to assess the impact of the mutation on gene expression and development.

Genomic localization of H3.3 protein was determined by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0). Histone modifications patterns of H3K4me1, H3K4me3 and H3K27ac were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0) to assess the impact of the H3.3K4A mutation on the epigenetic landscape. Levels of H3K36me3 were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in WT and H3.3K36A mutant ESCs (D0), NPCs (D8) and neurons (D12) to assess the impact of the H3.3K36A mutation on H3K36me3 levels in development.

Project description:Y box-binding protein 1 (Ybx1) is critical for embryogenesis and organogenesis. In zebrafish, we identify Ybx1 is predominantly expressed in the enterocytes of intestine in day5 larvae, whereas its immediately degradation driven by ubiquitination on day6. Here we show the maternal lethality with cardiac edema in ybx1-/- larvae, and postnatal larval lethality exhibited in ybx1-/- larvae within the death window from 10dpf to 20dpf. To study the underlying mechanisms for the ybx1-/- larvae partial lethality, we performed RNA-seq and experimental results showed the increased ROS might be the underlying cause for the postnatal lethality. By ascorbic acid treatment, we found ascorbic acid exposure prevented ybx1-/- larvae from postnatal lethality, while hydrogen peroxide aggravated ybx1-/- larvae postnatal lethality during the death window. By RNA-seq analysis, we also found significantly increased expressions of mmp9 and mmp13a in ybx1-/- larvae, and by inhibition of either MMP9 or MMP13a expression partially rescue the ybx1-/- postnatal lethality during the death window. Later, we further identify the intestinal impairs on 30 dpf and further deteriorated severe intestinal disorder in Ybx1 deficiency zebrafish. By exposure of ybx1-/- zebrafish for 14 days, we discover ascorbic acid partially mend the impaired intestine in ybx1-/-. In this study, we demonstrate that ybx1-/- larvae were ROS-susceptible, and the increased inflammation in ybx1-/- larvae intestine identified enables the ybx1-/- zebrafish as good model for studying of intestinal disease.

Genomic localization of H3.3 protein was determined by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0). Distribution patterns of RNA Polymerase II Phosphorylated on Serine 5 (RNA Pol II Ser5P), of histone modification H3K27me3 and chromatin remodeler components Brg1/Smarca4 (Swi/Snf) and Chd4 (NuRD) were measured by ChIP-Sequencing in ESCs (D0) to assess the impact of the H3.3K4A mutation on the epigenetic landscape. Distribution patterns of H3.3 were assessed by ChIP-Sequencing in HEK293T cells after depletion of Brg1/Smarca4 (Swi/Snf) and Chd4 (NuRD).
