Project description:Cellular senescence, a stable proliferation arrest caused by a range of cellular stresses, is a bona fide cause of cell and tissue aging. As well as proliferation arrest, cell senescence is associated with a potent pro-inflammatory phenotype, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Given that SASP is regulated at various levels, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its regulation is crucial. This understanding can pave the way for potential therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating SASP, which could promote healthy aging and alleviate the burden of senescence-associated diseases and degeneration. We show here that both the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein and HIRA histone chaperone are required for SASP expression in senescent cells. PML protein is the key organizer of PML nuclear bodies, nuclear features up to 1mM in diameter, containing many proteins and previously implicated in diverse cellular processes, including control of cell senescence and cellular intrinsic anti-viral immunity. HIRA is a histone chaperone best known for its ability to incorporate histone variant H3.3 into nuclear chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner, including in non-proliferating senescent cells. HIRA localizes to PML nuclear bodies in senescent cells. We show that both HIRA and PML are required for activation of NF-kB and SASP. We found that HIRA regulates cytoplasmic NF-kB signaling in senescent cells through CCF-cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway and interaction with autophagy cargo receptor Sequestosome-1 (p62/SQSTM1).

Project description:Promyelocytic Leukemia Nuclear Bodies (PML NBs) are nuclear membrane-less organelles physically associated with chromatin underscoring their crucial role in genome function. The H3.3 histone chaperone complex HIRA accumulates in PML NBs upon senescence, viral infection or IFN-I treatment in primary cells. Yet, the molecular mechanisms of this partitioning and its function in regulating histone dynamics have remained elusive. Here, by using specific siRNAs and protein Affimers, we identify intermolecular SUMO-SIM interactions as an essential mechanism for HIRA recruitment in PML NBs. In addition, we demonstrate that HIRA localization in the nuclear bodies is intimately linked to the presence of a soluble pool of H3.3-H4 dimers inside PML NBs, that is not found in cancer cells. Transcription inhibition prevents HIRA accumulation in PML NBs underscoring the importance of transcriptional activity to drive HIRA through PML NBs. Finally, in the context of inflammatory responses, HIRA and PML are necessary for the prolonged H3.3 deposition at the transcriptional end sites of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), well beyond the peak of transcription. We thus propose that HIRA partitioning in PML NBs is essential to regulate H3.3 deposition on transcriptionally active regions.

Project description:Host innate immune defences play a critical role in restricting the intracellular propagation and pathogenesis of invading viral pathogens. Here we show that the histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA (histone cell cycle regulator) associates with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. Following the activation of innate immune signalling, HIRA localized at PML-NBs in a Janus-Associated Kinase (JAK), Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK), and Sp100-dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis revealed that HIRA promoted the transcriptional upregulation of a broad repertoire of host genes that regulate innate immunity to HSV-1 infection, including those involved in MHC-I antigen presentation, cytokine signalling, and interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that PML, the principle scaffolding protein of PML-NBs, was required for the enrichment of HIRA onto ISGs, identifying a role for PML in the HIRA-dependent regulation of innate immunity to virus infection. Our data identifies independent roles for HIRA in the intrinsic silencing of viral gene expression and the induction of innate immune defences to restrict the initiation and propagation of HSV-1 infection, respectively. These intracellular host defences are antagonized by the HSV-1 ubiquitin ligase ICP0, which disrupts the stable recruitment of HIRA to infecting viral genomes and PML-NBs at spatiotemporally distinct phases of infection. Our study highlights the importance of histone chaperones to regulate multiple phases of intracellular immunity to virus infection, findings that are likely to be highly pertinent in the cellular restriction of many clinically important viral pathogens.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest that suppresses tumorigenesis. Histone chaperone HIRA deposits nucleosome-destabilizing histone variant H3.3 into chromatin in a DNA replication-independent manner. Histone H3.3 and a subset of other typically M-bM-^@M-^\replication-dependentM-bM-^@M-^] core histones were expressed in non-proliferating senescent cells, the latter linked to alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation. Senescent cells incorporated newly-synthesized histones into chromatin, partially dependent on HIRA. HIRA and newly-deposited histone H3.3 co-localized at promoters of expressed genes, and their distribution shifted between proliferating and senescent cells, paralleling changes in gene expression. In senescent cells, gene promoters showed exceptional enrichment of a histone acetylation linked to open and dynamic chromatin, H4K16ac. Abundance of H4K16ac depended on HIRA. In the mouse, inactivation of HIRA downregulated H4K16ac and dramatically enhanced oncogene-induced hyperplasia. To conclude, HIRA controls a previously undefined dynamic non-canonical H4K16ac-decorated chromatin landscape in senescence, and also plays an unanticipated role in suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia.

Project description:Quiescence (G0) is a reversible non-dividing state that facilitates cellular survival in adverse conditions. Here we demonstrate that the function of the HIRA histone chaperone complex is required for viability during nitrogen-starvation induced quiescence in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. G0 cells lacking the HIRA protein, Hip1 exhibit elevated levels of antisense ncRNAs and an increase in unrepaired DNA double strand breaks. Nitrogen-starved hip1∆ cells retain metabolic activity but, in contrast to wild type, rapidly lose the ability to resume proliferation. After a short period in G0 (1 day), hip1∆ mutants are able to resume cell growth in response to the restoration of a nitrogen source, but do not efficiently induce Start-specific gene expression and re-enter the cell cycle. However, hip1∆ cells rapidly progress to an unresponsive state and by 4 days in G0, the majority no longer initiate growth following nitrogen source restoration. Analysis using a conditional hip1 allele is consistent with these findings and indicates that HIRA is required for efficient exit from quiescence and prevents a permanent cell cycle arrest.

Project description:The assembly of nucleosomes by histone chaperones is an important component of transcriptional regulation. Here we have assessed the global roles of the S. pombe HIRA histone chaperone complex. Microarray analysis indicates that inactivation of the HIRA complex results in increased expression of at least 4% of fission yeast genes. HIRA-regulated genes overlap with those which are normally repressed in vegetatively growing cells, such as targets of the Clr6 histone deacetylase and silenced genes located in subtelomeric regions. HIRA is also required for silencing of all 13 intact copies of the Tf2 long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon. However, the role of HIRA is not restricted to bona fide promoters, because it also suppresses non-coding transcripts from solo LTR elements and spurious antisense transcripts from cryptic promoters associated with transcribed regions. Furthermore, the HIRA complex is essential in the absence of the quality control provided by nuclear exosome-mediated degradation of illegitimate transcripts. This suggests that HIRA restricts genomic accessibility, and, consistent with this, the chromosomes of cells lacking HIRA are more susceptible to genotoxic agents that cause double strand breaks. Thus the HIRA histone chaperone is required to maintain the protective functions of chromatin.
