Project description:The specialised structure of the centromere is critical for effective chromosome segregation, but its repetitive nature makes it vulnerable to rearrangements. Centromere fragility can drive tumorigenesis, but protective mechanisms preventing fragility are still not fully understood. The PBAF chromatin remodelling complex is frequently misregulated in cancer, but its role in cancer is incompletely characterized. Here, we identify PBAF as a protector of centromere and pericentromere structure with profound consequences for genome stability. A conserved feature of isogenic cell lines lacking PBRM1, a subunit of PBAF, is compromised centromere and pericentromere integrity. PBAF is present at these regions, and binding patterns of PBAF and H3K9 methylation change when PBRM1 is absent. PBRM1 loss creates a dependence on the spindle assembly checkpoint, which represents a therapeutic vulnerability. Importantly, we find that even in the absence of any perturbations, PBRM1 loss leads to centromere fragility, thus identifying a new player in centromere protection.

Project description:The specialized structure of the centromere is critical for effective chromosome segregation, but its repetitive nature and configuration makes it vulnerable to rearrangements. Centromere fragility can drive tumorigenesis, but protective mechanisms preventing fragility are still not fully understood. To identify core functions of the tumor suppressor PBRM1, a subunit of the PBAF remodelling complex, we created a panel of isogenic cell lines. We found that compromised centromere integrity is a general feature of cells lacking PBRM1. This defect creates a dependence on the spindle assembly checkpoint, which can be therapeutically exploited. We map the SMARCA4 subunit of PBAF across centromeric and pericentromeric chromatin and find PBRM1-dependent association with specific sequences. We further find that loss of PBRM1 leads to altered transcription of pericentromere-associated genes and transposable elements. These data identify PBAF as a protector of centromere structure with profound consequences for genome integrity.

Project description:PBRM1 is an accessory subunit of the PBAF subclass of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler. The inactivation of PBRM1 is the second most frequent mutational event in kidney tumorigenesis. Here we show that in VHL-deficient ccRCC tumors, PBRM1 loss results in an altered PBAF complex that retains the association between SMARCA4 and ARID2 but disengages BRD7 from SMARCA4. The PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes redistribute from promoter proxy regions to distal enhancer regions. The ATPase function of SMARCA4 enhances the recruitment of nuclear factor RELA to aberrant sites and promotes NF-κB activity. Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reverses NF-κB activation by reducing RELA binding at regions bound by PBRM1-deficient PBAF and delays PBRM1-deficient tumor growth. In conclusion, PBRM1 safeguards the chromatin by repressing aberrant liberation of pro-tumorigenic NF-κB target genes by residual PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes.

Project description:PBRM1 encodes an accessory subunit of the PBAF subclass of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler and the inactivation of PBRM1 is the second most frequent mutational event in kidney cancer. However, the impact of PBRM1 loss on chromatin remodeling, especially pertaining to kidney tumorigenesis, has not been well examined. Here we show that in VHL-deficient renal tumors, PBRM1 deficiency results in aberrant PBAF complexes that localize to de novo genomic loci and activate the pro-tumorigenic NF-?B pathway. PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes, despite retaining the association between SMARCA4 and ARID2, have loosely tethered BRD7 and redistribute from promoter proximal regions to distal enhancers containing NF-?B motifs. Subsequently, PBRM1-deficient cells display heightened NF-?B activity in multiple models and clinical samples. The ATPase function of SMARCA4 maintains chromatin occupancy of both pre-existing and newly acquired RELA specific to PBRM1 loss, and activates downstream target gene expression. Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reverses NF-?B activation by reducing RELA occupancy and delays growth of PBRM1-deficient tumors. In conclusion, PBRM1 safeguards the chromatin by repressing aberrant liberation of pro-tumorigenic NF-?B target genes by residual PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes.
