Despite the emerging evidence on ferroptosis implicated in diverse pathologies, molecular linkage between oxidative inducers and chromatin as epigenetic memory carrier for its propagation remains elusive. Here, we report the identification of two WD40 proteins DCAF8 and WDR76 as substrate adapter and molecular inhibitor respectively of the Cullin-4 RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) system for stability control of chromatin remodeler LSH. Degradation analysis and CRL4-DCAF8 complex reconstitution demonstrate that CRL4(DCAF8) is a bona fide E3 ligase for LSH. In contrast, WDR76 antagonizes DCAF8-targeted LSH proteolysis through competitive inhibition of the holo-CRL4(DCAF8)-LSH complex assembly. Importantly, this opposing regulatory strategy is utilized in lipid hydroperoxide induced ferroptosis, where we identify key redox homeostasis genes significantly regulated by the DCAF8/WDR76/LSH axis through transcriptomic epistasis analysis. This regulation is mechanistically attributed to DNA hydroxymethylation fostered WDR76 interaction with LSH and increased ratio of DCAF8 to WDR76 for antagonistic LSH association accompanying decreased DNA oxidation along with ROS overproduction. Evaluation of epigenetic dynamics at ferroptosis gene promoters reveals linker histone H1- and LSH-associated transcriptional repression is coordinately removed upon lipid peroxidation stress. Together with the phenotypes driven by WDR76 and DCAF8 manipulations, these data identify DCAF8- and WDR76-adapted oxidative damage sensing through DNA hydroxymethylation for LSH degradation control as a crucial nexus in epigenetic regulation of ferroptosis.
