BRD8 guards the pluripotent state by sensing and maintaining histone acetylation
Epigenetic control of cell fates is a critical determinant to maintain cell type stability and permissive differentiation. However, the epigenetic control mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we show that the histone acetyltransferase reader protein BRD8 impairs the conversion of primed mouse EpiSCs (epiblast stem cells) to naive mouse ESCs (embryonic stem cells). BRD8 works by maintaining histone acetylation on promoters and transcribed gene bodies. BRD8 is responsible for maintaining open chromatin at somatic genes, and histone acetylation at naive-specific genes. When Brd8 expression was reduced, chromatin accessibility was unchanged, but histone acetylation at primed-specific genes was reduced. Conversely, naive-specific genes had reduced repressive chromatin marks, and acquired accessible chromatin more rapidly during the cell type conversion. We show that this process requires active histone deacetylation to promote the conversion of primed to naive. Our data supports a model for BRD8 reading histone acetylation to accurately localize the genome-wide binding of the histone acetyltransferase KAT5. Overall, this study shows how the reading of the histone acetylation state by BRD8 maintains cell type stability..
