Title The histone H3G34R mutation disrupts the epigenome via catalytic inactivation of the ASH1 H3K36 methyltransferase [ChIP-seq]
Organism Neurospora crassa
Experiment type Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary The recurrent mutation of histone variant H3.3 at glycine-34 (H3.3G34) defines a type of pediatric glioma. Characteristic changes to the epigenome associated with the disease are thought to be the consequence of altered methylation of the adjacent lysine-36 (K36) residue, but the complexity of this regulatory pathway in humans, combined with a multi-component disease etiology, has limited our understanding of how H3.3G34 mutations contribute to oncogenesis. Here we use Neurospora crassa to show that the most common mutation associated with this tumor, glycine to arginine (G34R), drives aberrant heterochromatin formation and abnormal growth by inhibiting the H3K36 methyltransferase ASH1. Inactivation of ASH1, either directly or with H3G34R, drives spurious intergenic DNA methylation, redistribution of H3K27 methylation, and derepression of silent genes. We provide evidence that these defects are largely due to aberrant activity of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-associated SET-2, and propose targeted SET-2 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for H3.3G34R gliomas.
 
Overall design We analyzed the distribution of histone H3 lysine 27 methylation (H3K27me2/3), H3K36me2/3, and H3K9me3 in Neurospora crassa by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Strains were grown, crosslinked, lysed, modified nucleosomes were immunopurified, and associated DNA was sequenced. A total of five genetic backgrounds are included here. Each background and each mark was done in replicate. Data sets with wild-type strains and related mutant backgrounds are deposited in GEO submision GSE118495.
