Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Expression of cPRC1 subunit genes ( CBX2 , CBX4 , CBX6 , CBX7 , CBX8 ) in pHGG H3K27M cell lines based on bulk RNA-seq. B. Metaplot of CBX2 and RING1B aggregate ChIP-seq signals around H3K27me3-enriched CpG islands (union set of top 1000 most enriched in both conditions per cell line, as defined previously), normalized by read depth. CBX2 and RING1B occupancy at H3K27me3 sites are consistently diluted by KO of H3K27M. C. Bar graphs showing RING1B/CBX2 ChIP-seq signal confinement scores (fragment cluster score at 10kb, see Methods) in 3 distinct cell lines (BT245, DIPGXIII, HSJ019). RING1B/CBX2 are less confined (ie. more diluted) upon KO of H3K27M mutations. D. Correlation network of differential H3K27me3, RING1B, CBX2 and H2AK119ub enrichment at CGIs of BT245 cells, demonstrating the weak correlation between H2AK119ub changes and the changes of H3K27me3, RING1B and CBX2. Edgewidths reflect the absolute value Pearson correlation coefficients. E. Density plots showing differential CGI enrichment of H3K27me3 (x-axis), RING1B (y-axis), and CBX2 (color code) between H3K27M and H3K27M-KO DIPGXIII (top) and HSJ019 (bottom) cells. Each dot represents a CGI and the differential enrichment is plotted as log2 ratio of K27M/KO. Retainment of H3K27me3 enrichment at CGIs associates with several fold greater enrichment for RING1B and CBX2 ChIP-seq signals, indicating the correlation between H3K27me3 confinement and enhanced cPRC1 recruitment. F. Western blot showing equivalent levels of H2AK119ub abundance in isogenic H3K27M and KO BT245 and DIPGXIII cell lines. G. ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN-seq tracks for H3K27me3 and all cPRC1 subunits profiled, showing that broad domain spreading of H3K27me3 correlates with enrichment of RING1B, CBX2, CBX8 and PHC2 subunits (less so for CBX4) at Mb scale. This indicates cPRC1 can be distributed as both focal peaks and broad domains as determined by the degree of H3K27me3 spreading. H. Mass spectrometry-based measurement of protein abundance (iBAQ) for all subunits of PRC1 and PRC2 complexes, showing most subunits are comparably present in both nucleoplasm (soluble) and chromatin-bound protein fractions of H3K27M and KO cells for the pHGG line DIPGXIII. H3K27M mutations do not therefore dramatically alter the composition or abundance of PRC1/2.
