Identification of SMARCB1 as an IPMK-interacting protein via unbiased screening assays.

(A) IPMK and SMARCB1 interaction test in yeast strain AH109 containing two reporter genes (ADE2 and HIS3). Yeast cells were co-transformed with either the GAL4-BD fusion plasmid pGBKT7 or pGBKT7-IPMK, and the GAL4-AD fusion plasmid pACT2-SMARCB1. The yeast cells were spread on a selection medium lacking leucine and tryptophan (SD-LW) to select co-transformants of bait and prey vectors. Specific interactions between bait and prey proteins were monitored via cell growth on selection medium lacking leucine, tryptophan, and adenine (SD-LWA), or a selection medium lacking leucine, tryptophan, and histidine (SD-LWH). 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) was used to suppress leaky HIS3 expression in transformants to obtain an accurate phenotype. Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) gene fused with the GAL4 DNA binding domain (BD-PTB) and PTB gene fused with the GAL4 activation domain (AD-PTB) were used as positive controls of bait and prey vectors, respectively. The negative control is cells transformed with the parental bait vector (pGBKT7) and prey vector (pACT2). (B) Schematic diagram displaying the identification strategy of IPMK-proximal/interacting proteins, which are biotinylated by APEX-tagged IPMK. (C) Bar graphs showing the relative abundance of biotinylated proteins related to the SWI/SNF complex and two negative controls (left). Target proteins were arranged according to their significance (left, significant; right, not significant). The volcano plot shows the relative abundance and significance (P-value) of biotinylated proteins related to the SWI/SNF complex and two negative controls (right). A dotted line within the volcano plot indicates p = 0.05. The relative abundance (abundance ratio) was derived by comparing the fold enrichment of target proteins in IPMK-APEX2-expressing vs. APEX2-expressing HEK293 cells. P-values were calculated using the Student’s t-test, and error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from three biological replicates.

Domain maps of the interaction between IPMK and SMARCB1.

(A) IPMK and SMARCB1 domain interaction test in yeast strain AH109 containing the HIS3 reporter gene. Yeast cells were co-transformed with either the GAL4-BD fusion plasmid pGBKT7 or pGBKT7-IPMK and the GAL4-AD fusion plasmid pGADT7 with SMARCB1 deletion constructs or pACT2-SMARCB1. IPMK interacts with 99–245 or 99–319 SMARCB1 deletion constructs, and IPMK does not interact with 99–185 SMARCB1 constructs. The yeast cells were spread on the selection medium lacking leucine and tryptophan (SD-LW) to select co-transformants of bait and prey vectors. Specific interactions between bait and prey proteins were monitored by cell growth on a selection medium lacking leucine, tryptophan, and histidine (SD-LWH). 3-AT (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) was used to suppress leaky HIS3 expression in transformants to obtain an accurate phenotype. A schematic diagram of the SMARCB1 domain map with the number of amino acid sequences is presented on the right. The IPMK-binding sites (Rpt1 and Rpt2) are highlighted in red.

(A and B) Examples of BRG1 (EgfpKD and IpmkKD), IPMK CUT&RUN, and ATAC-seq (EgfpKD, IpmkKD, Control, and Brg1KD) assays at the TSSs of Rasl12 (A) and Phactr3 (B). The TSSs are marked with red boxes (bottom) and dotted lines. The graphs indicate RT-qPCR analysis of Rasl12 (A) and Phactr3 (B) expression after siRNA treatment. Error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from four biological replicates. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of β-actin. P-values were calculated using the Student’s t-test. (C) Volcano plots showing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) upon IpmkKD based on the mRNA-seq data. Red and blue dots indicate significant up- and down-regulation, respectively (p ≤ 0.05 and fold change ≥1.5). (D) Bar graphs showing the average differential BRG1 (red) and ATAC-seq (blue) intensity upon IpmkKD at BRG1 CUT&RUN peaks (for BRG1 intensity) and ATAC-seq peaks (for ATAC intensity) that are closest (within 2 kb for BRG1 peaks and within 500 bp for ATAC-seq peaks) to the TSSs of the down-regulated DEGs. **p < 1 × 10–5, ***p < 1 × 10–10, Wilcoxon signed rank test. (E) mRNA-seq analysis of Phactr3 expression after siRNA treatment. P-values were calculated using the Student’s t-test. (F) Examples of BRG1 (EgfpKD and IpmkKD), IPMK CUT&RUN, and ATAC-seq (EgfpKD, IpmkKD, Control, and Brg1KD) assays at the TSSs of Lrrc61 (left) and Arhgap44 (right). The BRG1 CUT&RUN peaks (EgfpKD cells) and ATAC-seq peaks are marked at the top with blue and green boxes, respectively. TSSs are marked with red boxes (bottom) and dotted lines. mRNA-seq analysis of Lrrc61 (left) and Arhgap44 (right) expression after siRNA treatment. P-values were calculated using the Student’s t-test.

Alterations in BRG1/ATAC upon IpmkKD affect gene expression.

(A) Examples of BRG1 (EgfpKD and IpmkKD), IPMK CUT&RUN, and ATAC-seq (EgfpKD, IpmkKD, Control, and Brg1KD) assays at the TSS of Me2 (left) and Sfrp2 (right). TSSs are marked with red boxes (bottom) and dotted lines. The graphs are RT-qPCR analysis of Me2 (left) and Sfrp2 (right) expression after siRNA treatment. Error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from four biological replicates. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of β-actin. P-values were calculated using Student’s t-test.

Figure 7 with 1 supplement
Effect of IPMK on the expression of endodermal marker genes and our proposed model depicting the function of IPMK.

(A and B) RT-qPCR analysis of the expression of pluripotency (A) and endodermal (B) marker genes after shRNA-mediated Ipmk silencing at the indicated time points during embryoid body (EB) formation. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments and error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from three biological replicates. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of Arbp. (C) RT-qPCR analysis of Brg1, Phactr3, and endodermal marker gene expression after siRNA treatment (two different siRNAs against Brg1). Error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from four biological replicates. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of β-actin. (A–C) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, Student’s t-test. (D) A model displaying the physical interactions between IPMK and SMARCB1 (left). For these physical interactions, exons 3, 4, and 6 of IPMK (orange boxes) and the Rpt1 and Rpt2 (particularly N-terminal β sheets) domains of SMARCB1 (red boxes) are required. An additional model showing our speculation of the position of IPMK directly interacting with SMARCB1, BRG1, and BAF155 (right) within the SWI/SNF complex. (E) In wild-type mESCs (left), IPMK regulates appropriate BRG1 localization (probably via physical interaction with various subunits of the SWI/SNF complex) and chromatin accessibility at the nucleosome free region (NFR) of the TSS. Upon Ipmk depletion (right), BRG1 localization is perturbed, resulting in decreased chromatin accessibility at the NFR of TSSs.

Effect of IPMK and BRG1 on ectodermal and mesodermal marker genes and proposed model depicting the physical interaction of IPMK and nucleosome-bound SWI/SNF complex.

(A and B) RT-qPCR analysis of ectodermal (A) and mesodermal (B) marker expression after shRNA-mediated Ipmk silencing at the indicated time points during EB formation. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments and error bars denote the standard error of the mean obtained from three biological replicates. The expression levels were normalized to the expression of Arbp. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, Student’s t-test. (C) Radar graphs showing the relative differentiation patterns of EBs regarding the three germ layers at the indicated time points. The values were calculated as the average relative expression of representative genes listed in Figure 7B and (A, B) and B.
