Mol Cell Endocrinol 2024; 589:112233. [PMID: 38616036 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2024.112233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Mitotic genome-bookmarking preserves epigenetic information, re-establishing progenitor's gene expression profile through transcription factors, chromatin remodelers, and histone modifiers, thereby regulating cell fate and lineage commitment post-mitotically in progeny cells. Our recent study revealed that the constitutive association of VDR with mitotic chromatin involves its DNA-binding domain. However, amino acid residues in this domain, crucial for genome bookmarking, remain elusive. This study demonstrates that nuclear localization signal (NLS) residues between 49 and 55 amino acids in VDR are essential for receptor-chromatin interaction during mitosis. Furthermore, it is revealed that both bipartite nature of VDR-NLS region and N-terminally located positively charged arginine residues are critical for its 'genome-bookmarking' property. Since mitotic chromatin association of heterodimeric partner RXR depends on VDR-chromatin association, interventions in VDR binding also abort RXR-chromatin interaction. Overall, this study documents the mechanistic details underlying VDR-chromatin interactions in genome-bookmarking behavior, potentially aiding in comprehending VDR-mediated diseases attributed to certain SNPs.

Exp Cell Res 2024; 437:114017. [PMID: 38555013 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-modulated transcription factors. Upon ligand binding, THRβ sequentially recruits the components of transcriptional machinery to modulate target gene expression. In addition to regulating diverse physiological processes, THRβ plays a crucial role in hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis feedback regulation. Anomalies in THRβ gene/protein structure are associated with onset of diverse disease states. In this study, we investigated disease-inflicting truncated variants of THRβ using in-silico analysis and cell-based assays. We examined the THRβ truncated variants on multiple test parameters, including subcellular localization, ligand-receptor interactions, transcriptional functions, interaction with heterodimeric partner RXR, and receptor-chromatin interactions. Moreover, molecular dynamic simulation approaches predicted that shortened THRβ-LBD due to point mutations contributes proportionally to the loss of structural integrity and receptor stability. Deviant subcellular localization and compromised transcriptional function were apparent with these truncated variants. Present study shows that 'mitotic bookmarking' property of some THRβ variants is also affected. The study highlights that structural and conformational attributes of THRβ are necessary for normal receptor functioning, and any deviations may contribute to the underlying cause of the inflicted diseases. We anticipate that insights derived herein may contribute to improved mechanistic understanding to assess disease predisposition.

Mitotic bookmarking redundancy by nuclear receptors in pluripotent cells. Nat Struct Mol Biol 2024; 31:513-522.

Abstract
Mitotic bookmarking transcription factors (TFs) are thought to mediate rapid and accurate reactivation after mitotic gene silencing. However, the loss of individual bookmarking TFs often leads to the deregulation of only a small proportion of their mitotic targets, raising doubts on the biological significance and importance of their bookmarking function. Here we used targeted proteomics of the mitotic bookmarking TF ESRRB, an orphan nuclear receptor, to discover a large redundancy in mitotic binding among members of the protein super-family of nuclear receptors. Focusing on the nuclear receptor NR5A2, which together with ESRRB is essential in maintaining pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells, we demonstrate conjoint bookmarking activity of both factors on promoters and enhancers of a large fraction of active genes, particularly those most efficiently reactivated in G1. Upon fast and simultaneous degradation of both factors during mitotic exit, hundreds of mitotic targets of ESRRB/NR5A2, including key players of the pluripotency network, display attenuated transcriptional reactivation. We propose that redundancy in mitotic bookmarking TFs, especially nuclear receptors, confers robustness to the reestablishment of gene regulatory networks after mitosis.

Abstract
The current study in prostate cancer (PCa) focused on the genomic mechanisms at the cross-roads of pro-differentiation signals and the emergence of lineage plasticity. We explored an understudied cistromic mechanism involving RARγ's ability to govern AR cistrome-transcriptome relationships, including those associated with more aggressive PCa features. The RARγ complex in PCa cell models was enriched for canonical cofactors, as well as proteins involved in RNA processing and bookmarking. Identifying the repertoire of miR-96 bound and regulated gene targets, including those recognition elements marked by m6A, revealed their significant enrichment in the RARγ complex. RARγ significantly enhanced the AR cistrome, particularly in active enhancers and super-enhancers, and overlapped with the binding of bookmarking factors. Furthermore, RARγ expression led to nucleosome-free chromatin enriched with H3K27ac, and significantly enhanced the AR cistrome in G2/M cells. RARγ functions also antagonized the transcriptional actions of the lineage master regulator ONECUT2. Similarly, gene programs regulated by either miR-96 or antagonized by RARγ were enriched in alternative lineages and more aggressive PCa phenotypes. Together these findings reveal an under-investigated role for RARγ, modulated by miR-96, to bookmark enhancer sites during mitosis. These sites are required by the AR to promote transcriptional competence, and emphasize luminal differentiation, while antagonizing ONECUT2.

Abstract
Arrival of multi-colored fluorescent proteins and advances in live cell imaging has immensely contributed to our understanding of intracellular trafficking of nuclear receptors and their roles in gene regulatory functions. These regulatory events need to be faithfully propagated from progenitor to progeny cells. This is corroborated by multiple converging mechanisms that include histone modifications and lately, the phenomenon of 'mitotic genome-bookmarking' by specific transcription factors. This phenomenon refers to the retention and feed-forward transmission of progenitor's architectural blueprint of active transcription status which is silenced and preserved during mitosis. Upon mitotic exit, this phenomenon ensures accurate reactivation of transcriptome, proteome, cellular traits and phenotypes in the progeny cells. In addition to diverse modes of genome-bookmarking by nuclear receptors, a correlation between disease-associated receptor polymorphism and disruption of this phenomenon is apparent. However, breakthrough technologies shall reveal finer details of this phenomenon to help achieve normalcy in receptor-specific diseases.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. It is a primary regulator of calcium and phosphate homeostasis required for skeleton and bone mineralization. Vitamin D in active form 1α,25 dihydroxyvitamin-D3 mediates its cellular functions by binding to VDR. Active VDR forms heterodimers with partner RXR (retinoid X receptor) to execute its physiological actions. HVDRR (Hereditary Vitamin D-Resistant Rickets) is a rare genetic disorder that occurs because of generalized resistance to the 1α,25(OH)2D3. HVDRR is caused by the polymorphic variations in VDR gene leading to defective intestinal calcium absorption and mineralization of newly forming bones. Using point and deletion SNPs of VDR we have studied several HVDRR-associated SNP variants for their subcellular dynamics, transcriptional functions, 'genome bookmarking', heterodimeric interactions with RXR, and receptor stability. We previously reported that VDR is a 'mitotic bookmarking factor' that remains constitutively associated with the mitotic chromatin to inherit 'transcriptional memory', however the mechanistic details remained unclear. We document that 'genome bookmarking' property by VDR is critically impaired by naturally occurring HVDRR-associated point and deletion variants found in patients. Furthermore, these HVDRR-associated SNP variants of VDR were found to be compromised in transcriptional function, nuclear translocation, protein stability and intermolecular interactions with its heterodimeric partner RXR. Intriguingly, majority of these disease-allied functional defects failed to be rescued by RXR. Our findings suggest that the HVDRR-associated SNP variations influence the normal functioning of the receptor, and this derived understanding may help in the management of disease with precisely designed small molecule modulators.
