Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins maintain the silenced state of key developmental genes, but how these proteins are recruited to specific regions of the genome is still not completely understood. In Drosophila, PcG proteins are recruited to Polycomb response elements (PREs) comprised of a flexible array of sites for sequence-specific DNA binding proteins, “PcG recruiters”, including Pho, Spps, Cg, GAF and many others. Pho is thought to play a central role in PcG recruitment. Early data showed that mutation of Pho binding sites in PREs in transgenes abrogated the ability of those PREs to repress gene expression. In contrast, genome-wide experiments in pho mutants or by Pho knockdown showed that PcG proteins can bind to PREs in the absence of Pho. Here we directly addressed the importance of Pho binding sites in two engrailed (en) PREs at the endogenous locus and in transgenes. Our results show that Pho binding sites are required for PRE activity in transgenes with a single PRE. In a transgene, two PREs together lead to stronger, more stable repression and confer some resistance to the loss of Pho binding sites. Making the same mutation in Pho binding sites has little effect on PcG-protein binding at the endogenous en gene. Overall, our data support the model that Pho is important for PcG binding but emphasize how multiple PREs and chromatin environment increase the ability of PREs to function in the absence of Pho.

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins maintain the silenced state of key developmental genes in animals, but how these proteins are recruited to specific regions of the genome is still poorly understood. In Drosophila, PcG proteins are recruited to Polycomb response elements (PREs) that include combinations of sites for sequence specific DNA binding “PcG recruiters,” including Pho, Cg, and Spps. To understand their roles in PcG recruitment, we compared Pho-, Cg-, and Spps-binding sites against H3K27me3 and key PcG proteins by ChIP-seq in wild-type and mutant third instar larvae. H3K27me3 in canonical Polycomb domains is decreased after the reduction of any recruiter. Reduction of Spps and Pho, but not Cg, causes the redistribution of H3K27me3 to heterochromatin. Regions with dramatically depleted H3K27me3 after Spps knockout are usually accompanied by decreased Pho binding, suggesting their cooperative binding. PcG recruiters, the PRC2 component E(z), and the PRC1 components Psc and Ph cobind thousands of active genes outside of H3K27me3 domains. This study demonstrates the importance of distinct PcG recruiters for the establishment of unique Polycomb domains. Different PcG recruiters can act both cooperatively and independently at specific PcG target genes, highlighting the complexity and diversity of PcG recruitment mechanisms.

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of REST and Polycomb binding in Rest-/- and Eed-/- mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells showed that Rest was required for PRC1 recruitment to a subset of Polycomb regulated neuronal genes. Furthermore, we found that PRC1 can be recruited to Rest binding sites independently of CpG islands and the H3K27Me3 mark., and that PRC2 was frequently increased around Rest binding sites located in CpG-rich regions in the Rest2/2 mES cells.

Project description:We report the evolutionary behaviour of Polycomb group proteins, their recruitment factors and their underlying sequences by performing ChIP-seq analysis in 4-5 different Drosophila species (GSE60428) and HiC analysis in Drosophila melanogaster. We demonstrate an extremely high conservation of Polycomb repressive domains across Drosophila species We validate few cases of PRE divergence that shows that cis-driven PRE evolution is a rare event. We further show that PHO recruitment to Polycomb domains is evolutionarily robust to motif changes and that PRC1 stabilizes binding of its key recruiter HiC experiments in wild type drosophila embryos
