Keith Michael Porter Keith Michael Porter 1 Impact of the chromatin remodeller SMARCAD1 on murine intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte and white adipose tissue biology. Chromatin remodelling factors use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to drive the movement of and/or affect molecular changes to the nucleosome. One such factor, SMARCAD1 (SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A containing DEAD/H box 1), has been previously shown to restore heterochromatin at the replication fork in vitro. This project aimed to assess the impact of SMARCAD1 on mammalian biology, utilising an animal model in which the catalytic ATPase domain of murine SMARCAD1 had been deleted using Cre/lox technology. Preliminary results had implicated SMARCAD1 in adaptive-immunity and white adipose tissue biology, and SMARCAD1 expression in these tissues/cells was confirmed by tissue-panel western blot. This project therefore aimed to build on these results to understand better the impact of SMARCAD1 on adaptive immune development and white adipose tissue biology. In addition, fewer than expected viable Smarcad1-/- homozygous offspring were produced during Smarcad1+/- x +/- matings, which both confirmed the observation from a previous knockout model of Smarcad1, and limited the number of knockout animals available for this study. Investigation of systemic B- and T-cells in the bone marrow, thymus and spleen had previously suggested there was no significant defect in adaptive immune development in Smarcad1-/- mice, however a tissue-specific and age-related loss of intra-epithelial (IEL) T-lymphocytes was found in the small intestine by flow cytometry. Analysis by qPCR of duodenal RNA suggested that differentiation rather than inflammation may underpin any loss-of-IEL phenotype, although further examination of cell-proliferation and crypt/villus anatomy by EdU incorporation and immunofluorescence revealed no overt cell-anatomical or proliferative difference in the knockout mice. The requirement for large numbers of aged mice made further investigation of the intestinal IEL phenotype logistically prohibitive. The reduction of epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) size had also been observed in male Smarcad1-/- mice, and serum from these mice showed elevated triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) levels. Transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq of whole-WAT revealed an elevation in macrophage-related markers in knockout mice, which was confirmed by flow cytometry. As a number of reports have implicated SMARCAD1 in stem cell biology, putative adipose stem cells were isolated from +/+ and -/- mice by FACS and used for adipogenic differentiation assays ex-vivo In parallel, mouse embryonic fibroblasts from +/- and -/- mice were also assayed for adipogenic differentiation. While no significant differences in adipogenesis were observed, Smarcad1-/- mice challenged with a (60%) high fat diet did show increased weight gain over +/+ mice, and measurements of adipocyte size and cell cycle/cell proliferation analysis suggested hyperplasia rather than defects in adipogenesis may drive any WAT- related pathology in these mice.

I would like to thank Dr. Patrick Varga-Weisz not just for the opportunity to pursue a PhD, but for allowing me through the looking glass of research savoir-faire. The down-to-earth perspective of Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith FRS was invaluable and gave exactly the taste of scientific cut-and-thrust this student desired, while never sparing of support when needed. Similarly the endless patience of Dr Anne Corcoran allowed me to mentally explore without reproach or suffocation, and whose leadership and success provide inspiration for many. No pivotal moment of my life would be right without mention of my late friend, Richard Dhamesin. Moments of struggle are always grounded by his memory, and I’m certain that he’s somewhere chortling that I managed to pull this one off I’ll be raising a glass to you, but keeping the PhD to myself thank you very much ;) The biggest dedications have to go to family and friends. My parents have never pressured me in whatever I do, but instead always have an ear and supportive words to encourage me along the way. My partner Carol Edwards thought it would be a good idea to apply to the Babraham Institute, and has always offered scientific and non-scientific advice – but most importantly has always been there. We also shared possibly the most expensive and life-changing bottle of Rosé wine in Carpentras in 2013, for which we will forever be picking up the tab –x- There aren’t the words to describe the gratitude I have for the entry of Alicia Erin Porter into my life. So rather than try and fail, I’ll just say that moments after she was born she opened her eyes and looked me up and down, which made it clear we were equals from the get-go; nothing more, nothing less. More than any seminar, the reality of biology unfolding before my eyes is the greatest influence and celebration of the subject I try and articulate over the next couple of hundred pages –x- Keith Michael Porter 4 Contents Chapter 1 - General Introduction ................................................................................ 1 1.1 Chromatin, nucleosomes and DNA compaction ............................................. 2 1.2 Histone modification and the histone code. .................................................... 2 1.3 Chromatin remodelling and chromatin remodeller families. .......................... 7 1.3.1.

  • Genome-Wide Linkage Analysis and Whole-Genome Sequencing Identify a Recurrent SMARCAD1 Variant in a Unique Chinese Family with Basan Syndrome
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2016) 24, 1367–1370 & 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved 1018-4813/16 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT Genome-wide linkage analysis and whole-genome sequencing identify a recurrent SMARCAD1 variant in a unique Chinese family with Basan syndrome Ming Li*,1,3, Jianbo Wang2,3, Zhenlu Li2, Jia Zhang1, Cheng Ni1, Ruhong Cheng1 and Zhirong Yao*,1 Basan syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis, characterized by rapidly healing congenital acral bullae, congenital milia and lack of fingerprints. A mutation in the SMARCAD1 gene was recently reported to cause Basan syndrome in one family. Here, we present a large Chinese family with Basan syndrome; some patients presented with hyperpigmentation and knuckle pads in addition to previously reported clinical manifestations. We used genome-wide linkage analysis and whole- genome sequencing (WGS) to identify the pathogenic gene in this unique pedigree. Genome-wide linkage analysis successfully mapped the candidate gene to 4p15.31-4p14 and 4q13.2-4q23. The maximal LOD score was 3.01. WGS in one patient identified a splice variant (c.378+1G4T) in the SMARCAD1 gene (NG_031945.1) that was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Co-segregation of the variant was confirmed in this pedigree. The same variant was recently found to be associated with isolated adermatoglyphia (ADG) in another family, suggesting that this variant is causative for both Basan syndrome and autosomal dominant ADG (OMIM 136 000). This indicates that ADG and Basan syndrome may be the phenotypic variants of the same disease. Further studies should be performed to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms induced by this variant.

  • SMARCAD1 Gene SWI/SNF-Related, Matrix-Associated Actin-Dependent Regulator of Chromatin, Subfamily A, Containing DEAD/H Box 1
    SMARCAD1 gene SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, containing DEAD/H box 1 Normal Function The SMARCAD1 gene provides instructions for making two versions (isoforms) of the SMARCAD1 protein: a full-length isoform and a shorter, skin-specific isoform. The full- length isoform is active (expressed) in multiple tissues, where it regulates the activity of a wide variety of genes involved in maintaining the stability of cells' genetic information. The skin-specific isoform is expressed only in skin cells, and little is known about its function. However, it appears to play a critical role in the formation of dermatoglyphs, which are the patterns of skin ridges on the pads of the fingers that form the basis for each person's unique fingerprints. These ridges are also present on the toes, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. Dermatoglyphs develop before birth and remain the same throughout life. The activity of the skin-specific isoform of the SMARCAD1 protein is likely one of several factors that determine each person's unique fingerprint pattern. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Adermatoglyphia At least four mutations in the SMARCAD1 gene have been found to cause adermatoglyphia, which is the absence of dermatoglyphs on the hands and feet. Because affected individuals do not have skin ridges on the pads of their fingers, they cannot be identified on the basis of their fingerprints. Adermatoglyphia can occur without any related signs and symptoms, or it may be associated with other features, typically affecting the skin. The mutations that cause adermatoglyphia affect the skin-specific isoform of the SMARCAD1 protein but not the full-length isoform.

  • The Role of SMARCAD1 During Replication Stress Sarah Joseph
    The role of SMARCAD1 during replication stress Sarah Joseph Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Sarah Joseph All Rights Reserved Abstract The role of SMARCAD1 during replication stress Sarah Joseph Heterozygous mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predispose carriers to an increased risk for breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) play an integral role in promoting genomic stability through their respective actions during homologous recombination (HR) mediated repair and stalled replication fork protection from nucleolytic degradation. SMARCAD1 (SD1) is a SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler that has been implicated in promoting long-range end resection and contributes to HR. Using human cell lines, we show that SMARCAD1 promotes nucleolytic degradation in BRCA1/2-deficient cells dependent on its chromatin remodeling activity. Moreover, SMARCAD1 prevents DNA break formation and promotes fork restart at stalled replication forks. These studies identify a new role for SMARCAD1 at the replication fork. In addition to the work presented here, I discuss a method for introducing stop codons (nonsense mutations) into genes using CRISPR-mediated base editing, called iSTOP, and provide an online resource for accessing the sequence of iSTOP sgRNASs (sgSTOPs) for five base editor variants (VQR-BE3, EQR-BE3, VRER-BE3, SaBE3, and SaKKH-BE3) in humans and over 3 million targetable gene coordinates for eight eukaryotic species. Ultimately, with improvements to CRISPR base editors this method can help model and study nonsense mutations in human disease.

Lluis Companys 23, Barcelona 08010, Spain *Corresponding authors: Luciano Di Croce ([email protected]) Sergi Aranda ([email protected]) 1 GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Chromatin-bound proteins regulate gene expression, replicate and repair DNA, and transmit epigenetic information. Several human diseases are highly influenced by alterations in the chromatin- bound proteome. Thus, biochemical approaches for the systematic characterization of the chromatome could contribute to identifying new regulators of cellular functionality, including those that are relevant to human disorders. 2 SUMMARY Chromatin-bound proteins underlie several fundamental cellular functions, such as control of gene expression and the faithful transmission of genetic and epigenetic information. Components of the chromatin proteome (the “chromatome”) are essential in human life, and mutations in chromatin-bound proteins are frequently drivers of human diseases, such as cancer. Proteomic characterization of chromatin and de novo identification of chromatin interactors could thus reveal important and perhaps unexpected players implicated in human physiology and disease. Recently, intensive research efforts have focused on developing strategies to characterize the chromatome composition. In this review, we provide an overview of the dynamic composition of the chromatome, highlight the importance of its alterations as a driving force in human disease (and particularly in cancer), and discuss the different approaches to systematically characterize the chromatin-bound proteome in a global manner.

  • Nucleosomes Around a Mismatched Base Pair Are Excluded Via an Msh2-Dependent Reaction with the Aid of SNF2 Family Atpase Smarcad1
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 3, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Nucleosomes around a mismatched base pair are excluded via an Msh2-dependent reaction with the aid of SNF2 family ATPase Smarcad1 Riki Terui,1,2 Koji Nagao,1,3 Yoshitaka Kawasoe,2 Kanae Taki,1 Torahiko L.

Although the MMR system may need to handle nucleosomes at the site of chromatin replication, how MMR occurs in the chromatin environment remains unclear. Here, we show that nucleosomes are excluded from a >1-kb region surrounding a mismatched base pair in Xenopus egg extracts. The exclusion was dependent on the Msh2–Msh6 mismatch recognition complex but not the Mlh1-containing MutL homologs and counteracts both the HIRA- and CAF-1 (chromatin assembly factor 1)-mediated chromatin assembly pathways. We further found that the Smarcad1 chromatin remodeling ATPase is recruited to mismatch-carrying DNA in an Msh2-dependent but Mlh1- independent manner to assist nucleosome exclusion and that Smarcad1 facilitates the repair of mismatches when nucleosomes are preassembled on DNA.
