Methylation of H3K9 occurs during the formation of the inactive X chromosome in somatic cells of female mammals (de Las Heras et al., 2003). [32, 33]. In addition to its main role in apoptosis, Daxx was shown to be a chaperone of the histone variant H3.3 While in mammals the recruitment of SUV39H and the formation and spreading of heterochromatin at pericentromeres is only poorly understood, this critical question of establishment is better understood in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and involves the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery (see next). Spatially and temporally regulated activation of pericentromeric transcription was observed throughout mouse development Levine M, McDevitt RA, Meer M, Perdue K, Di Francesco A, Meade T, Farrell C, Thrush K, Wang M, Dunn C, Pellegrini M, de Cabo R, Ferrucci L. Elife. Curr Opin Cell Biol 2001,13(2):232–8. [59], although how this is achieved is unclear. [58]. In general, proteins involved in various pathways are required for heterochromatin formation and maintenance, and are listed in this panel.

Probst and co-workers 2010;26:471–501. CAS  They alter the chromatin state by inducing nucleosome sliding and dissociating histones from DNA, thereby controlling access to DNA Upon extensive passaging of primary human fibroblasts, cells entered replicative senescence, which correlated with expression of pericentromeric transcripts that were polyadenylated and in a sense orientation. EMBO Rep 2013,14(8):704–10. In addition to a strong decrease in DNA methylation levels, transcriptional activation correlated with an increase of active histone marks, like H3K4me3 and acetylation of histone H4 (H4ac), as well as incorporation of the H3.3 histone variant. Tetrahymena .  |  These data suggest that the regulation and the formation of constitutive heterochromatin domains may be more dynamic than anticipated. If the only function of heterochromatin at pericentromeres is to act as a boundary for centromeres, the oncogenic deregulation of heterochromatin may explain why there is an observed expansion of CENP-A in cancer cells [80]. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome arises from mutations in the LaminA gene (reviewed in Third, the SatIII transcripts could serve to protect a fragile region of the genome from stress-induced damage, although how this could work remains unclear. Mitosis-specific changes have been shown, with rapid increases when the cell enters mitosis. This suggests that SIRT1 is involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin in a direct or an indirect manner. Another study recently linked the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene to a role in the repression of pericentromeric expression Schematic representation of constitutive heterochromatin formation in mammals. [65]. For example, in constitutive heterochromatic regions histones are generally hypo-acetylated and hyper-methylated at histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me) [5–7]. It may be that the contributions of these factors are only critical at developmental stages, where heterochromatin is established (for example, in the zygote). Importantly, DNA methylation is impaired in neoplasia, which is characterized by a global DNA demethylation as well as localized hypomethylation of oncogenes and hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes (reviewed in A high expression level of pericentromeric RNA was also observed in adult mice testes However, the respective contribution of each of these activities to heterochromatin formation is poorly understood. : Regulation of HP1-chromatin binding by histone H3 methylation and phosphorylation. [87, 122, 123]. However, it is defined epigenetically by the same imprint as constitutive heterochromatin; trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9). Telomeres are bound by conserved protein machineries acting to protect chromosomal ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks. All other cellular stresses induced transcription in the sense orientation only 10.1074/jbc.M806857200, Tachibana M, Sugimoto K, Fukushima T, Shinkai Y: SET domain-containing protein, G9a, is a novel lysine-preferring mammalian histone methyltransferase with hyperactivity and specific selectivity to lysines 9 and 27 of histone H3. [71] and are not expected to bind to pericentric heterochromatin, where no developmental genes are located. -, Schueler MG, Sullivan BA. : Stress-induced transcription of satellite III repeats. Of note, none of these screens uncovered non-nuclear proteins, which might suggest the absence of signal transduction pathways specific to the control of pericentromeric heterochromatin. However, recent studies (in the last few decades) are changing our perspective of constitutive The basic mechanism implicates components involved in chromatin modifications, like histone deacetylases Clr3 (HDAC1), Clr6 (RPD3), and, especially, Sir2 (which deacetylates H3K9 and H4K16), which is followed by H3K9me by Clr4 protein (a homolog of mammalian proteins SUV39H) (reviewed in Today, with the increased sensitivity of molecular techniques, transcription of pericentromeric satellite repeats has been confirmed in a multitude of organisms and in various contexts, including proliferation, development, differentiation, senescence, stress response, and transformation. 10.1073/pnas.1008850107, Drane P, Ouararhni K, Depaux A, Shuaib M, Hamiche A: The death-associated protein DAXX is a novel histone chaperone involved in the replication-independent deposition of H3.3. describe the structure of the H3K9me3-containing dinucleosome complexed with human HP1, obtained by the cryo-EM technique. 10.1016/j.cell.2012.06.048, Loyola A, Tagami H, Bonaldi T, Roche D, Quivy JP, Imhof A, et al. As a consequence, centromere function was impaired and mitotic defects, including multiple spindle attachments and aneuploidy, were observed DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic marks of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentromeres and is a crucial player in transcriptional repression in mammals.

Nucleic Acids Res 2009,37(19):6340–54. The monomethylation of H3K9 at pericentromeric heterochromatin relies on the action of two enzymes (Prdm3 and 16), and this reaction might occur prior to histone deposition WD repeat and HMG-box DNA binding protein 1. [104]. 10.1016/S0959-437X(00)00065-4, Pal-Bhadra M, Leibovitch BA, Gandhi SG, Chikka MR, Bhadra U, Birchler JA, et al. [41], it is tempting to speculate that histone composition is modified at pericentromeric regions after replication. 10.1101/gad.566910, Santenard A, Ziegler-Birling C, Koch M, Tora L, Bannister AJ, Torres-Padilla ME: Heterochromatin formation in the mouse embryo requires critical residues of the histone variant H3.3. In addition, despite of the heterochromatic nature of pericentromeres, there is increasing evidence for active and regulated transcription at these loci, in a multitude of organisms and under various biological contexts. 10.1038/ncb2089, Fan JY, Rangasamy D, Luger K, Tremethick DJ: H2A.Z alters the nucleosome surface to promote HP1α-mediated chromatin fiber folding. 10.1038/cr.2010.157, Gao S, Xiong J, Zhang C, Berquist BR, Yang R, Zhao M, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2006,103(23):8703–8. Heterochromatin, the best-known form of repressed chromatin, is characterized by dense structure and absent or strongly diminished transcription. Finally, few genes lie within constitutive heterochromatin at pericentromeres, like TPTE, POTE, BAGE, and their aberrant expression could also account for transformation. [5]). Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2005,102(21):7629–34. 10.1038/nsmb.1416, Yamashita K, Sato A, Asashima M, Wang PC, Nishinakamura R: Mouse homolog of SALL1, a causative gene for Townes-Brocks syndrome, binds to A/T-rich sequences in pericentric heterochromatin via its C-terminal zinc finger domains. In contrast with telomeres, the repeat sequences making pericentromeres and their organization can greatly vary between organisms, or even between chromosomes of the same species (Figure  2020 Nov 5;10:594163. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2020.594163. SUV39H is the responsible HTMase for H3K9me3 on pericentromeres, a histone mark recognized by HP1 proteins. In the liver, transcripts exclusively existed in the sense orientation, while in the testis, transcripts were observed in the antisense orientation in immature germ cells and in the sense orientation in mature germ cells, again suggesting a regulated process during differentiation. Lu and Gilbert found a physiological transient transcription of pericentromeric heterochromatin in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts, which was proliferation and cell-cycle dependent The expression of SatIII repeats was shown to correlate with a loss of constitutive heterochromatin mark H3K9me3, and of HP1 binding doi: 10.7554/eLife.61171. Nature 2011,469(7330):343–9. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol 2011,3(9):a003731. Additionally, factors like GFI1B Cell 2004,118(5):567–78. Hence, constitutive heterochromatin is often viewed as a more static structure than facultative heterochromatin. 10.1038/nrm1405, Jolly C, Lakhotia SC: Human sat III and Constitutive heterochromatin formation and transcription in mammals . -/- mice are viable, which suggests that the enzyme’s functions may not be critically required for development and differentiation. [22]. Silent chromatin necessitates the histone deacetylase Sir2 PubMed  [61], and preferentially localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin. Cytogenet Genome Res 2009,124(3–4):277–87. Transcriptional repressors like MeCP2 are indeed directly recruited by methylated DNA, but no increase in steady-state pericentromeric RNA was observed in Dnmt-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells. EMBO J 2005,24(4):800–12. 10.1101/gad.1200204, Li G, Margueron R, Ku M, Chambon P, Bernstein BE, Reinberg D: Jarid2 and PRC2, partners in regulating gene expression. : Impaired replication elongation in The dynamics of strand-specific transcription, and the differential processing and localization of such transcripts constitute another example, building a stronger case for a biological function of pericentromeric transcription.
