Description
Histone modifications are associated with distinct transcriptional states, but it is unclear whether they instruct gene expression. To investigate this, we mutated histone H3.3 K9 and K27 residues in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Here, we find that H3.3K9 is essential for controlling specific distal intergenic regions and for proper H3K27me3 deposition at promoters. The H3.3K9A mutation resulted in decreased H3K9me3 at regions encompassing endogenous retroviruses and induced a gain of H3K27ac and nascent transcription. These changes in the chromatin environment unleashed cryptic enhancers, resulting in the activation of distinctive transcriptional programs and culminating in protein expression normally restricted to specialized immune cell types. The H3.3K27A mutant disrupted deposition and spreading of the repressive H3K27me3 mark, particularly impacting bivalent genes with higher basal level of H3.3 at promoters. Therefore, H3.3K9 and K27 crucially orchestrate repressive chromatin states at cis-regulatory elements and bivalent promoters, respectively, and instruct proper transcription in mESCs.

to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.
When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak"
subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download"
link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category
having a "Condition" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category
having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct
combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the
"Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is
considered.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically
remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the
SwissProt
human reference database.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and
reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original
submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported
across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all
analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses)
associated with this dataset.
Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis
of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison
across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.
A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found
to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated
with statistical tests for differential abundance.
Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis
of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.
"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE.
It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may
consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
