Abstract

Mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermentable (mSWI/SNF) complex regulates chromatin accessibility and frequently shows alterations due to mutation in cancer and neurological diseases. Inadequate expression of mSWI/SNF in heterozygous mice can lead to developmental defects, indicating dosage-sensitive effects of mSWI/SNF. However, how its dosage affects function has remained unclear. Using a targeted protein degradation system, we investigated its dosage-sensitive effects by precisely controlling protein levels of BRG1, the ATPase subunit of the mSWI/SNF complex. We found that binding of BRG1 to chromatin exhibited a linear response to the BRG1 protein level. Although chromatin accessibility at most promoters and insulators was largely unaffected by BRG1 depletion, 44% of enhancers, including 84% of defined superenhancers, showed reduced accessibility. Notably, half of the BRG1-regulated enhancers, particularly superenhancers, exhibited a buffered response to BRG1 loss. Consistently, transcription exhibited a predominantly buffered response to changes in BRG1 levels. Collectively, our findings demonstrate a genomic feature-specific response to BRG1 dosage, shedding light on the dosage-sensitive effects of mSWI/SNF complex defects in cancer and other diseases.

摘要

哺乳动物的转换/蔗糖非发酵(mSWI/SNF)复合体调节染色质可及性,并且在癌症和神经疾病中常因突变而发生改变。杂合小鼠中mSWI/SNF表达不足会导致发育缺陷,表明mSWI/SNF具有剂量敏感效应。然而,其剂量如何影响功能仍不清楚。我们使用靶向蛋白质降解系统,通过精确控制mSWI/SNF复合体的ATP酶亚基BRG1的蛋白质水平,研究了其剂量敏感效应。我们发现BRG1与染色质的结合对BRG1蛋白质水平呈线性反应。虽然大多数启动子和绝缘子处的染色质可及性在很大程度上不受BRG1缺失的影响,但44%的增强子,包括84%已定义的超级增强子,显示出可及性降低。值得注意的是,BRG1调节的增强子中有一半,特别是超级增强子,对BRG1缺失表现出缓冲反应。一致地,转录对BRG1水平的变化主要表现出缓冲反应。总的来说,我们的研究结果证明了对BRG1剂量的基因组特征特异性反应,揭示了mSWI/SNF复合体缺陷在癌症和其他疾病中的剂量敏感效应。
