Abstract

The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play a central role in developmental gene regulation in multicellular organisms. PRC1 and PRC2 modify chromatin by catalysing histone H2A lysine 119 ubiquitylation (H2AK119u1), and H3 lysine 27 methylation (H3K27me3), respectively. Reciprocal crosstalk between these modifications is critical for the formation of stable Polycomb domains at target gene loci. While the molecular mechanism for recognition of H3K27me3 by PRC1 is well defined, the interaction of PRC2 with H2AK119u1 is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate a critical role for the PRC2 cofactor Jarid2 in mediating the interaction of PRC2 with H2AK119u1. We identify a ubiquitin interaction motif at the amino-terminus of Jarid2, and demonstrate that this domain facilitates PRC2 localization to H2AK119u1 both in vivo and in vitro . Our findings ascribe a critical function to Jarid2 and define a key mechanism that links PRC1 and PRC2 in the establishment of Polycomb domains.

Figures

Figure 1 JARID2 is required for recruitment of PRC2 to H2AK119u1 modified chromatin. (a) Schematic of the experiment. The MBD localizes to high meCpG regions including PCH. The minimal E3 ligase fusion protein (RPCD) catalyses H2AK119u1 but does not interact with PRC1 or PRC2. (b) Immunofluorescence staining of WT and Aebp2tr/tr mESCs. Scale bar, 5 μm. Arrowhead indicates a PCH focus. (c) Quantification of H3K27me3-positive PCH domains shown in b. (d,e) As (b,c) but for Jarid2 WT and Jarid2 KO mESCs. A minimum of 300 cells were counted in three biological repeats. Error bars indicate s.d.

Figure 2 JARID2 is required for establishment of H3K27me3 at PCH domains upon loss of DNA methylation. (a) Schematic of the experimental set-up. DNA methylation (filled lollipops) was removed by tamoxifen induction of conditional Dnmt1F/F mESCs and culturing for 6–12 days. In response to the loss of DNA methylation PRC1 (H2AK119u1) and PRC2 (H3K27me3) complexes localize to PCH (major satellites).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
