Nuclear receptor (NR) transactivation involves multiple coactivators, and the molecular basis for how these are functionally integrated needs to be determined to fully understand the NR action. Activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2), a transcriptional coactivator of many NRs and transcription factors, forms a steady-state complex, ASCOM (for ASC-2 complex), which contains histone H3-lysine-4 (H3K4) methyltransferase MLL3 or its paralog MLL4. Here, we show that ASCOM requires a functional cross talk with the ATPase-dependent chromatin remodeling complex Swi/Snf for efficient NR transactivation. Our results reveal that ASCOM and Swi/Snf are tightly colocalized in the nucleus and that ASCOM and Swi/Snf promote each other's binding to NR target genes. We further show that the C-terminal SET domain of MLL3 and MLL4 directly interacts with INI1, an integral subunit of Swi/Snf. Our mutational analysis demonstrates that this interaction underlies the mutual facilitation of ASCOM and Swi/Snf recruitment to NR target genes. Importantly, this study uncovers a specific protein-protein interaction as a novel venue to couple two distinct enzymatic coactivator complexes during NR transactivation.

CHD8 is a chromatin remodeling ATPase of the SNF2 family. We found that depletion of CHD8 impairs cell proliferation. In order to identify CHD8 target genes, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of CHD8-depleted cells, finding out that CHD8 controls the expression of cyclin E2 (CCNE2) and thymidylate synthetase (TYMS), two genes expressed in the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. CHD8 was also able to co-activate the CCNE2 promoter in transient transfection experiments. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that CHD8 binds directly to the 5' region of both CCNE2 and TYMS genes. Interestingly, both RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and CHD8 bind constitutively to the 5' promoter-proximal region of CCNE2, regardless of the cell-cycle phase and, therefore, of the expression of CCNE2. The tandem chromodomains of CHD8 bind in vitro specifically to histone H3 di-methylated at lysine 4. However, CHD8 depletion does not affect the methylation levels of this residue. We also show that CHD8 associates with the elongating form of RNAPII, which is phosphorylated in its carboxy-terminal domain (CTD). Furthermore, CHD8-depleted cells are hypersensitive to drugs that inhibit RNAPII phosphorylation at serine 2, suggesting that CHD8 is required for an early step of the RNAPII transcription cycle.

The orderly differentiation of cell lineages within gastric glands is regulated by a complicated interplay of local mucosal growth factors and hormones. Histamine secreted from enterochromaffin-like cells plays an important role in not only stimulated gastric acid secretion but also coordination of intramucosal growth and lineage differentiation. We have examined histidine-decarboxylase (HDC)-deficient mice, which lack endogenous histamine synthesis, to evaluate the influence of histamine on differentiation of fundic mucosal lineages and the development of metaplasia following induction of acute oxyntic atrophy. Stomachs from HDC-deficient mice and wild-type mice were evaluated at 8 wk and 12 mo of age. DMP-777 was administrated orally to 6-wk-old mice for 1 to 14 days. Sections of gastric mucosa were stained with antibodies against Mist1, intrinsic factor, H/K-ATPase, trefoil factor 2 (TFF2), chromogranin A, and Ext1 and for the cell cycle marker phospho-histone H3. HDC-deficient mice at 8 wk of age demonstrated a prominent increase in chief cells expressing Mist1 and intrinsic factor. Importantly Mist1-positive mature chief cells were present in the midgland region as well as at the bases of fundic glands, indicating a premature differentiation of chief cells. Mice dually deficient for both HDC and gastrin showed a normal distribution of chief cells in fundic glands. Treatment of HDC-deficient mice with DMP-777 led to loss of parietal cells and an accelerated and exaggerated emergence of mucous cell metaplasia with the presence of dual intrinsic factor and TFF2-expressing cells throughout the gland length, indicative of the emergence of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) from chief cells. These findings indicate that histamine, in concert with gastrin, regulates the appropriate differentiation of chief cells from mucous neck cells as they migrate toward the bases of fundic glands. Nevertheless, histamine is not required for emergence of SPEM following acute oxyntic atrophy.

Nucleosome movement is, at least in part, facilitated by ISWI ATPase Smarca5 (Snf2h). Smarca5 gene inactivation in mouse demonstrated its requirement at blastocyst stage; however its role at later stages is not completely understood. We herein determined nuclear distribution of Smarca5 and histone marks associated with actively transcribed and repressed chromatin structure in embryonic and adult murine tissues and in tumor cells. Confocal microscopy images demonstrate that Smarca5 is localized mainly in euchromatin and to lesser extent also in heterochromatin and nucleoli. Smarca5 heterozygous mice for a null allele display decreased levels of histone H3 modifications and defects in heterochromatin foci supporting role of Smarca5 as a key regulator of global chromatin structure.

CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4) ATPase is a major subunit of the repressive NuRD (nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase) complex, which is involved in transcriptional regulation and development. CHD4 contains two PHD (plant homeodomain) fingers of unknown function. Here we show that the second PHD finger (PHD2) of CHD4 recognizes the N-terminus of histone H3 and that this interaction is facilitated by acetylation or methylation of Lys9 (H3K9ac and H3K9me respectively) but is inhibited by methylation of Lys4 (H3K4me) or acetylation of Ala1 (H3A1ac). An 18 microM binding affinity toward unmodified H3 rises to 0.6 microM for H3K9ac and to 0.9 microM for H3K9me3, whereas it drops to 2.0 mM for H3K4me3, as measured by tryptophan fluorescence and NMR. A peptide library screen further shows that phosphorylation of Thr3, Thr6 or Ser10 abolishes this interaction. A model of the PHD2-H3 complex, generated using a combination of NMR, data-driven docking and mutagenesis data, reveals an elongated site on the PHD2 surface where the H3 peptide is bound. Together our findings suggest that the PHD2 finger plays a role in targeting of the CHD4/NuRD complex to chromatin.

Studies indicate that the 19S proteasome functions in the epigenetic regulation of transcription. We have shown that as in yeast, components of the 19S proteasome are crucial for regulating inducible histone acetylation events in mammalian cells. The 19S ATPase Sug1 binds to histone acetyltransferases and to acetylated histone H3 and, in the absence of Sug1, histone H3 acetylation is dramatically decreased at mammalian promoters. Research in yeast further indicates that the ortholog of Sug1, Rpt6, is a link between ubiquitination of histone H2B and H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3). To characterize the role that the 19S proteasome plays in regulating additional activating modifications, we examined the methylation and ubiquitination status of histones at inducible mammalian genes. We find that Sug1 is crucial for regulating histone H3K4me3 and H3R17me2 at the cytokine inducible MHC-II and CIITA promoters. In the absence of Sug1, histone H3K4me3 and H3R17me2 are dramatically decreased, but the loss of Sug1 has no significant effect on H3K36me3 or H2BK120ub. Our observation that a subunit of hCompass interacts with additional activating histone modifying enzymes, but fails to bind the CIITA promoter in the absence of Sug1, strongly implicates Sug1 in recruiting enzyme complexes responsible for initiating mammalian transcription.

Class II transactivator (CIITA) is the master regulator of the major histocompatibility class II transcription complex (MHC-II) and is critical for initiation of adaptive immune responses. We have previously demonstrated that the 19S proteasome ATPase Sug1 plays a significant role in regulating CIITA activity and MHC-II expression. We now show that an additional component of the 19S complex, the 19S ATPase S6a (S6'/Tat-binding protein 1), is crucial for regulating cytokine-inducible transcription of CIITA. Lack of S6a negatively impacts CIITA activity and CIITA expression. Decreased expression of S6a significantly diminishes the recruitment of transcription factors to the CIITA interferon-gamma-inducible promoter [CIITA promoter IV (pIV)] and significantly decreases CIITApIV histone H3 and histone H4 acetylation, with a preferential loss of acetylation at H3 lysine 18 and H4 lysine 8. In addition, we provide evidence for the involvement of the 19S AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activity) ATPase hexamer as the 19S ATPase S6b binds CIITApIV in an S6a-dependent fashion and has effects similar to S6a on CIITApIV histone acetylation. These analyses demonstrate the importance of 19S ATPases in the assembly of CIITApIV transcription machinery and provide additional insight into the regulatory mechanisms of the 19S proteasome in mammalian transcription.

Rad26p, a yeast homologue of human Cockayne syndrome B with an ATPase activity, plays a pivotal role in stimulating DNA repair at the coding sequences of active genes. On the other hand, DNA repair at inactive genes or silent areas of the genome is not regulated by Rad26p. However, how Rad26p recognizes DNA lesions at the actively transcribing genes to facilitate DNA repair is not clearly understood in vivo. Here, we show that Rad26p associates with the coding sequences of genes in a transcription-dependent manner, but independently of DNA lesions induced by 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Further, histone H3 lysine 36 methylation that occurs at the active coding sequence stimulates the recruitment of Rad26p. Intriguingly, we find that Rad26p is recruited to the site of DNA lesion in an elongating RNA polymerase II-dependent manner. However, Rad26p does not recognize DNA lesions in the absence of active transcription. Together, these results provide an important insight as to how Rad26p is delivered to the damage sites at the active, but not inactive, genes to stimulate repair in vivo, shedding much light on the early steps of transcription-coupled repair in living eukaryotic cells.

The left and right ventricles are muscular chambers of the heart that differ significantly in the extent of pressure work-load. The regional and differential distribution of gene expression patterns is critical not only for heart development, but, also in the establishment of cardiac hypertrophy phenotypes. the cells of the myocardium employ elaborate regulatory mechanisms to establish changes in chromatin structure and function, yet, the role of epigenetic modifications and specific gene expression patterns in cardiac ventricles remains poorly understood. We have examined gene expression changes and studied histone H3 and H4 acetylation as well as dimethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 on promoters of alpha-Myosin heavy chain gene (alpha-MHC), beta-Myosin heavy chain gene (beta-MHC), Atrial natriuretic peptide gene (ANp), B-type natriuretic peptide gene (BNP) and Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase gene (SERCA2a). The recruitment of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) enzyme p300, which is a transcriptional coactivator, was also studied on the hyperacetylated promoters using immunopurification of soluble chromatin in the left and right ventricles of the mouse. We present evidence for the first time that the pattern of gene expression is closely linked with histone modifications and propose the left and right chambers of the heart are epigenetically distinguishable.

CHD1 is a SNF2-related ATPase that is required for the genome-wide incorporation of variant histone H3.3 in the paternal pronucleus as well as in transcriptionally active nuclei in Drosophila embryos. The S. pombe and vertebrate orthologs of CHD1 have been implicated in the assembly of the centromeric histone H3 variant CenH3(CENP-A), which occurs in a DNA replication-independent manner. Here, we examined whether CHD1 participates in the assembly of CenH3(CID) in Drosophila. In contrast to the findings in fission yeast and vertebrate cells, our evidence clearly argues against such a role for CHD1 in Drosophila. CHD1 does not localize to centromeres in either S2 cells or developing fly embryos. Down-regulation of CHD1 in S2 cells by RNAi reveals unchanged levels of CenH3(CID) at the centromeres. Most notably, ablation of functional CHD1 in Chd1 mutant fly embryos does not interfere with centromere and kinetochore assembly, as the levels and localization of CenH3(CID), CENP-C and BubR1 in the mutant embryos remain similar to those seen in wild-type embryos. These results indicate that Drosophila CHD1 has no direct function in the incorporation of the centromeric H3 variant CenH3(CID) into chromatin. Therefore, centromeric chromatin assembly may involve different mechanisms in different organisms.
