BRWD1 orchestrates epigenetic landscape of late B lymphopoiesis.

Nature communications | 2018

Transcription factor (TF) networks determine cell fate in hematopoiesis. However, how TFs cooperate with other regulatory mechanisms to instruct transcription remains poorly understood. Here we show that in small pre-B cells, the lineage restricted epigenetic reader BRWD1 closes early development enhancers and opens the enhancers of late B lymphopoiesis to TF binding. BRWD1 regulates over 7000 genes to repress proliferative and induce differentiation programs. However, BRWD1 does not regulate the expression of TFs required for B lymphopoiesis. Hypogammaglobulinemia patients with BRWD1 mutations have B-cell transcriptional profiles and enhancer landscapes similar to those observed in Brwd1-/- mice. These data indicate that, in both mice and humans, BRWD1 is a master orchestrator of enhancer accessibility that cooperates with TF networks to drive late B-cell development.
