Analysis of DU145 prostate cancer cells depleted for Vpr binding protein (VPRBP). VPRBP knockdown decreases histone H2A threonine 120 (H2AT120) phosphorylation and impairs the viability of DU145 cells. Results provide insight into the role of VprBP in regulating gene transcription.

(Submitter supplied) VprBP has been implicated in transcriptionally silent chromatin formation and cell cycle regulation, but the molecular basis underlying such effects remains unclear. To investigate the role of VprBP on gene regulation, genme-wide gene expression analysis is carried out in DU145 cells expressing either control shRNA or VprBP shRNA.

(Submitter supplied) Histone modification is aberrantly regulated in cancer and generates an unbalanced state of gene transcription. VprBP, a recently identified kinase, phosphorylates histone H2A on threonine 120 (T120) and is involved in oncogenic transcriptional dysregulation; however, its specific role in colon cancer is undefined. Here we show that VprBP is overexpressed in colon cancer and directly contributes to epigenetic gene silencing and cancer pathogenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) DCAF1, also known as VprBP, is a recently identified atypical kinase and plays an important role in downregulating the transcription of tumor suppressor genes as well as increasing the risk for colon and prostate cancers. Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer arising from pigment-producing melanocytes and is often associated with dysregulation of epigenetic factors targeting histones. Here we demonstrate that DCAF1 is highly expressed and phosphorylates threonine 120 (T120) on histone H2A to drive transcriptional inactivation of growth regulatory genes in melanoma cells. As is the case for its epigenetic function in other types of cancers, DCAF1 acts to induce gene silencing program dependently of H2AT120 phosphorylation (H2AT120p). The significance of DCAF1-mediated H2AT120p is further underscored by the fact that DCAF1 knockdown- or DCAF1 inhibitor-induced lockage of H2AT120p mitigates melanoma tumor growth in xenograft models. Collectively, our results establish DCAF1-mediated H2AT120p as a key epigenetic signal for melanomagenesis and suggest the therapeutic potential of targeting DCAF1 kinase activity for effective melanoma treatment.

(Submitter supplied) Our recent work has shown that VprBP is overexpressed in colon cancer and phosphorylates histone H2AT120 to drive epigenetic gene inactivation and oncogenic transformation. We have extended these observations by investigating whether VprBP also phosphorylates non-histone proteins as an additional mechanism linking its kinase activity to colon cancer development. We now demonstrate that VprBP directly phosphorylates EZH2 at T367 to augment its nuclear stabilization and enzymatic activity in colon cancer cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: Epigenetic modifications of histones and regulation of chromatin structure have been implicated in regulation of virulence gene families in P. falciparum. To better understand chromatin-mediated gene regulation, we used a high-density oligonucleotide microarray to map the position and enrichment of nucleosomes across the entire genome of P. falciparum at three time points of the intra-erythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) in vitro. more...

(Submitter supplied) It is well known that deregulation of chromatin modifiers, such as histone acetylases and methylases, causes malignancies. However, the possible role of histone phosphorylation in carcinogenesis has not yet been elucidated. Here, we found that histone phosphorylation by itself can be the causal event in carcinogenesis. First, we found that histone H2A T120 is phosphorylated in human cancer cell lines and proved that this phosphorylation is catalyzed by hVRK1. more...

(Submitter supplied) Gene-expression in siRNA treated U2OS and hTERT-RPE1 cells showed that CASP8AP2, NPAT and HINFP do not regulate expression of each other, and do not have any common target genes, except histones. Most histone genes are downregulated in U2OS cells following loss of CASP8AP2, NPAT or HINFP. In normal cells, highly-expressed histone genes were downregulated, albeit less than in tumor cells following loss of CASP8AP2. more...

(Submitter supplied) The regulation of replication-dependent histone genes by CASP8AP2 and NPAT is likely direct, based on ChIP-seq. CASP8AP2 and NPAT ChIP-Seq peaks were enriched near transcription start sites (TSSs) of replication-dependent, but not replication-independent histone genes on chromosomes 1, 6 and 12 in both cell lines. HINFP ChIP-Seq peaks were enriched near transcription start sites (TSSs) of replication-dependent histone genes H4 and H2B and replication-independent histone genes H1FX and H1F0 in both cell lines. more...

(Submitter supplied) Nucleosome positioning is both active and passive and regulates access to the genome for replication, transcription and repair. Here we report that Mit1, a subunit of the fission yeast SHREC complex similar to Mi-2/NuRD, regulates transcription at regions of heterochromatin by positioning nucleosomes to preclude access to RNA Polymerase II. Purified Mit1 is a nucleosome remodeling factor capable of mobilizing histone octamers on short DNA fragments and requires ATP hydrolysis and chromatin tethering domains to remodel nucleosomes and silence transcription. more...

Here, we present a high-throughput proteogenomic platform designed to characterize the nucleosomal make-up of chromatin enriched with a set of histone PTM-binding proteins known as histone PTM readers. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Drosophila MSL complex mediates dosage compensation by increasing transcription of the single X chromosome in males approximately two-fold. This is accomplished through recognition of the X chromosome and subsequent acetylation of histone H4K16 on X-linked genes. Initial binding to the X is thought to occur at a subset of sites. However, the consensus sequence motif of entry sites (“MSL recognition element” or MRE) is only slightly enriched on the X (~2 fold), and only a fraction of them is utilized by the MSL complex. more...
