The histone variant H3.3 G34W substitution in giant cell tumor of the bone link chromatin and RNA processing

Abstract: While transcription as regulated by histones and their post-translational modifications has been well described, the function of histone variants in this process remains poorly characterized. Potentially important insight into this process pertain to the frequently occurring mutations of H3.3, leading to G34 substitutions in childhood glioblastoma and giant cell tumor of the bone (GCTB). In this study, we have established primary cell lines from GCTB patients and used them to uncover the influence of H3.3 G34W… Show more

“…We also reported that Rpp29 depletion increases H3.3 chromatin deposition and sense (S) and AS RNA levels, which suggests that an RNase P variant represses H3.3 chromatin assembly and transcription. Consistent with our results, a recent study identified RNA proteins, including RPLs and splicing factors, as H3.3-interacting factors (40). This study also showed that H3.3(G34W) increases chromatin compaction and causes aberrant RNA processing.…”

“…Several, including the GCTB mutation, G34W, increase the affinity for Rpp29. Of interest, H3.3(G34W) has been reported to down-regulate transcription and increase chromatin compaction (40). Because we show that Rpp29 promotes heterochromatic PTM deposition, it is possible that H3.3(G34W) promotes tumorigenesis by enhancing the gene-silencing function of Rpp29.…”

“…For GCTB, the genes undergoing a change upon redistribution of the H3K36me3 marks as a result of the H3F3A G34W/L mutations remain to be identified. Changes that are observed in primary GCTB cells harbouring a G34W mutation are increased proliferation, migration and colony formation capacity as compared to wild-type counterparts [55,56]. Furthermore, splicing aberrations and alternative transcription start sites are frequently observed in H3F3A G34W-mutated cells, suggesting an alteration in the RNA processing pathway [55].…”

Furthermore, splicing aberrations and alternative transcription start sites are frequently observed in H3F3A G34W-mutated cells, suggesting an alteration in the RNA processing pathway [55]. Future studies are needed to elucidate which genes and signalling pathways are affected by the H3F3A G34 mutationdriven epigenetic alterations.…”
