A novel chromatin-remodeling complex variant, dcPBAF, is involved in maintaining transcription in differentiated neurons. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1271598.

Abstract
The Polybromo-associated BAF (BRG1- or BRM-associated factors) (PBAF) chromatin-remodeling complex is essential for transcription in mammalian cells. In this study, we describe a novel variant of the PBAF complex from differentiated neuronal cells, called dcPBAF, that differs from the canonical PBAF existing in proliferating neuroblasts. We describe that in differentiated adult neurons, a specific subunit of PBAF, PHF10, is replaced by a PHF10 isoform that lacks N- and C-terminal domains (called PHF10D). In addition, dcPBAF does not contain the canonical BRD7 subunit. dcPBAF binds promoters of the actively transcribed neuron-specific and housekeeping genes in terminally differentiated neurons of adult mice. Furthermore, in differentiated human neuronal cells, PHF10D-containing dcPBAF maintains a high transcriptional level at several neuron-specific genes.

ZC3H13-mediated N6-methyladenosine modification of PHF10 is impaired by fisetin which inhibits the DNA damage response in pancreatic cancer. Cancer Lett 2022; 530:16-28. [PMID: 35033590 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2022.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
DNA damage repair is a major barrier for chemotherapy efficacy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), including the efficacy of platinum-based and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel treatments. N6-methyladenosine modifications (m6A) have recently been reported to play a role in homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs); however, the mechanism of action remains unknown. Our previous work indicated that fisetin may be a promising anti-tumour agent that induces DNA damage. In this study, we reported that fisetin induced DSBs and suppressed HR repair through m6A modification in PDAC cells. The m6A writer ZC3H13 and PHF10, which is a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodelling complex, were identified as the main molecules affected by fisetin treatment. To our knowledge, it's the first time that PHF10 was found and involved in the DNA damage response. PHF10 loss-of-function resulted in elevated recruitment of γH2AX, RAD51, and 53BP1 to DSB sites and decreased HR repair efficiency. Moreover, ZC3H13 knockdown downregulated the m6A methylation of PHF10 and decreased PHF10 translation in a YTHDF1-dependent manner. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that fisetin enhanced DSBs via ZC3Hl3-mediated m6A modification of PHF10, which may provide insight into novel therapeutic approaches for PDAC.

Conserved Structure and Evolution of DPF Domain of PHF10-The Specific Subunit of PBAF Chromatin Remodeling Complex. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222011134.

Abstract
Transcription activation factors and multisubunit coactivator complexes get recruited at specific chromatin sites via protein domains that recognize histone modifications. Single PHDs (plant homeodomains) interact with differentially modified H3 histone tails. Double PHD finger (DPF) domains possess a unique structure different from PHD and are found in six proteins: histone acetyltransferases MOZ and MORF; chromatin remodeling complex BAF (DPF1–3); and chromatin remodeling complex PBAF (PHF10). Among them, PHF10 stands out due to the DPF sequence, structure, and functions. PHF10 is ubiquitously expressed in developing and adult organisms as four isoforms differing in structure (the presence or absence of DPF) and transcription regulation functions. Despite the importance of the DPF domain of PHF10 for transcription activation, its structure remains undetermined. We performed homology modeling of the human PHF10 DPF domain and determined common and distinct features in structure and histone modifications recognition capabilities, which can affect PBAF complex chromatin recruitment. We also traced the evolution of DPF1–3 and PHF10 genes from unicellular to vertebrate organisms. The data reviewed suggest that the DPF domain of PHF10 plays an important role in SWI/SNF-dependent chromatin remodeling during transcription activation.

Abstract
The PBAF complex, a member of SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodelers, plays an essential role in transcriptional regulation. We revealed a disease progression associated elevation of PHF10 subunit of PBAF in clinical melanoma samples. In melanoma cell lines, PHF10 interacts with MYC and facilitates the recruitment of PBAF complex to target gene promoters, therefore, augmenting MYC transcriptional activation of genes involved in the cell cycle progression. Depletion of either PHF10 or MYC induced G1 accumulation and a senescence-like phenotype. Our data identify PHF10 as a pro-oncogenic mechanism and an essential novel link between chromatin remodeling and MYC-dependent gene transcription.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:763392. [PMID: 35046892 PMCID: PMC8762305 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2021.763392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chromatin remodeling, specifically the tissue-specific regulation in mineralized tissues, is an understudied avenue of gene regulation. Here we show that Baf45a and Baf45d, two Baf45 homologs belong to ATPase-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, preferentially expressed in osteoblasts and odontoblasts compared to Baf45b and Baf45c. Recently, biochemical studies revealed that BAF45A associates with Polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF) complex. However, the BAF45D subunit belongs to the polymorphic canonical BRG1-associated factor (cBAF) complex. Protein profiles of osteoblast and odontoblast differentiation uncovered a significant increase of BAF45A and PBAF subunits during early osteoblast and odontoblast maturation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) during the bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) differentiation showed higher histone H3K9 and H3K27 acetylation modifications in the promoter of Baf45a and Baf45d and increased binding of bone and tooth specific transcription factor RUNX2. Overexpression of Baf45a in osteoblasts activates genes essential for the progression of osteoblast maturation and mineralization. Furthermore, shRNA-mediated knockdown of Baf45a in odontoblasts leads to markedly altered genes responsible for the proliferation, apoptosis, DNA repair, and modest decrease in dentinogenic marker gene expression. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) assay in Baf45a knockout osteoblasts revealed a noticeable reduction in chromatin accessibility of osteoblast and odontoblast specific genes, along with transcription factor Atf4 and Klf4. Craniofacial mesenchyme-specific loss of Baf45a modestly reduced the mineralization of the tooth and mandibular bone. These findings indicated that BAF45A-dependent mineralized tissue-specific chromatin remodeling through PBAF-RUNX2 crosstalk results in transcriptional activation is critical for early differentiation and matrix maturation of mineralized tissues.
