![]() | ![]() Title: Diverse RNA Structures Induce PRC2 Dimerization and Inhibit Histone Methyltransferase Activity. Authors: Jiarui Song / Liqi Yao / Anne R Gooding / Valentin Thron / Vignesh Kasinath / Thomas R Cech Abstract: Methyltransferase PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) introduces histone H3K27 trimethylation, a repressive chromatin mark, to tune the differential expression of genes. PRC2 is precisely regulated ...Methyltransferase PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) introduces histone H3K27 trimethylation, a repressive chromatin mark, to tune the differential expression of genes. PRC2 is precisely regulated by accessory proteins, histone post-translational modifications and, notably, RNA. Research on PRC2-associated RNA has mostly focused on the tight-binding G-quadruplex (G4) RNAs, which inhibit PRC2 enzymatic activity in vitro and in cells. Our recent cryo-EM structure provided a molecular mechanism for G4 RNA inactivating PRC2 via dimerization, but it remained unclear how diverse RNAs associate with and regulate PRC2. Here, we show that a single-stranded G-rich RNA and an atypical G4 structure called pUG-fold unexpectedly also mediate near-identical PRC2 dimerization resulting in inhibition of PRC2 methyltransferase activity. The conformational flexibility of arginine-rich loops within subunits EZH2 and AEBP2 of PRC2 can accommodate diverse RNA secondary structures, resulting in protein-RNA and protein-protein interfaces similar to those observed previously with G4 RNA. Furthermore, we address a recent report that failed to detect PRC2-associated RNAs in living cells by demonstrating the insensitivity of PRC2-RNA interaction to photochemical crosslinking. Our results support the significance of RNA-mediated PRC2 regulation by showing that this interaction is not limited to a single RNA secondary structure, consistent with the broad PRC2 transcriptome containing many G-tract RNAs incapable of folding into G4 structures. | |||||||||

The coordinates of G-quadruplex RNA-bound PRC2 six-subunit complex (PDB: 8FYH) provided a starting model from which all the coordinates were adjusted and rebuilt in the new map using COOT. The model of each PRC2 promoter was subjected to global refinement and minimization in real space using PHENIX. These were then subjected to manual inspection and adjustment in COOT, followed by refinement again in PHENIX. TERRAmut RNA model was generated using a 10-nucleotide single-stranded fragment (UGAGUGUGAG) using AlphaFold3 and then docked into our map for the position we designated as the RNA density. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
