RESUMO

Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins are dioxygenases that convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA and RNA. However, their involvement in adult stem cell regulation remains unclear. Here, we identify a novel enzymatic activity-independent function of Tet in the Drosophila germline stem cell (GSC) niche. Tet activates the expression of Dpp, the fly homologue of BMP, in the ovary stem cell niche, thereby controlling GSC self-renewal. Depletion of Tet disrupts Dpp production, leading to premature GSC loss. Strikingly, both wild-type and enzyme-dead mutant Tet proteins rescue defective BMP signaling and GSC loss when expressed in the niche. Mechanistically, Tet interacts directly with Bap55 and Stat92E, facilitating recruitment of the Polybromo Brahma associated protein (PBAP) complex to the dpp enhancer and activating Dpp expression. Furthermore, human TET3 can effectively substitute for Drosophila Tet in the niche to support BMP signaling and GSC self-renewal. Our findings highlight a conserved novel catalytic activity-independent role of Tet as a scaffold protein in supporting niche signaling for adult stem cell self-renewal.
