P300 Regulates Histone Crotonylation and Preimplantation Embryo Development
Research Square (Research Square)(2023)
摘要
Histone lysine crotonylation, an evolutionarily conserved modification differing from acetylation, exerts pivotal control over diverse biological processes. Among these are gene transcriptional regulation, spermatogenesis, and cell cycle processes. However, the dynamic changes and functions of histone crotonylation in preimplantation embryonic development in mammals remain unclear. Here, we showed that the transcription coactivator P300 functioned as a writer of histone crotonylation during embryonic development. Depletion of P300 resulted in significant developmental defects and dysregulation of the transcriptome of embryos. Importantly, we demonstrated that P300 catalyzes the crotonylation of histone, directly stimulating transcription and regulating gene expression, thereby ensuring successful progression of embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. Moreover, the modification of histone H3 lysine 18 crotonylation (H3K18cr) was primarily localized to active promoter regions. This modification served as a distinctive epigenetic indicator of crucial transcriptional regulators, facilitating the activation of gene transcription. Together, our results propose a model wherein P300-mediated histone crotonylation plays a crucial role in regulating the fate of embryonic development.
