MLL4-associated condensates counterbalance Polycomb-mediated nuclear mechanical stress in Kabuki Syndrome

The genetic elements required to tune gene expression are partitioned in active and repressive nuclear condensates. Chromatin compartments include transcriptional clusters whose dynamic establishment and functioning depends on multivalent interactions occurring among transcription factors, cofactors...

description The genetic elements required to tune gene expression are partitioned in active and repressive nuclear condensates. Chromatin compartments include transcriptional clusters whose dynamic establishment and functioning depends on multivalent interactions occurring among transcription factors, cofactors and basal transcriptional machinery. However, how chromatin players contribute to the assembly of transcriptional condensates is poorly understood. By interrogating the effect of KMT2D (also known as MLL4) haploinsufficiency in Kabuki Syndrome, we found that MLL4 contributes to the assembly of transcriptional condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation. MLL4 loss-of-function (LoF) impaired Polycomb-dependent chromatin compartmentalization, altering nuclear architecture. By releasing the nuclear mechanical stress through the inhibition of the mechano-sensor ATR, we re-established the mechano-signaling of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their commitment towards chondrocytes both in vitro and in vivo. This study supports the notion that in Kabuki Syndrome the haploinsufficiency of MLL4 causes an altered functional partitioning of chromatin, which determines the architecture and mechanical properties of the nucleus.
