Abstract

Epigenetic regulation of gene expression, including by Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins, may depend on heritable chromatin states, but how these states can be propagated through mitosis is unclear. Using immunofluorescence and biochemical fractionation, we find PcG proteins associated with mitotic chromosomes in Drosophila S2 cells. Genome-wide sequencing of chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP-SEQ) from mitotic cells indicates that Posterior Sex Combs (PSC) is not present at well-characterized PcG targets including Hox genes in mitosis, but does remain at a subset of interphase sites. Many of these persistent sites overlap with chromatin domain borders described by Sexton et al. (2012), which are genomic regions characterized by low levels of long range contacts. Persistent PSC binding sites flank both Hox gene clusters. We hypothesize that disruption of long-range chromatin contacts in mitosis contributes to PcG protein release from most sites, while persistent binding at sites with minimal long-range contacts may nucleate re-establishment of PcG binding and chromosome organization after mitosis.

摘要

基因表达的表观遗传调控,包括多梳组(PcG)蛋白的调控,可能依赖于可遗传的染色质状态,但这些状态如何在有丝分裂中传递尚不清楚。使用免疫荧光和生化分级分离,我们在果蝇 S2 细胞中发现 PcG 蛋白与有丝分裂染色体相关。来自有丝分裂细胞的染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP-SEQ)的全基因组测序表明,后性梳(PSC)在有丝分裂中并不存在于包括 Hox 基因在内的特征明确的 PcG 靶标上,但确实存在于一部分间期中。这些持久的位点中有许多与 Sexton 等人(2012)描述的染色质域边界重叠,这些边界是由长距离接触水平低的基因组区域组成的。持久的 PSC 结合位点位于 Hox 基因簇的两侧。我们假设,有丝分裂中长距离染色质接触的破坏导致 PcG 蛋白从大多数位点释放,而在长距离接触最少的位点上持续结合可能有助于在有丝分裂后重新建立 PcG 结合和染色体组织。
