Parental histones, the carriers of posttranslational modifications, are deposited evenly onto the replicating DNA of sister chromatids in a process dependent on the Mcm2 subunit of DNA helicase and the Pole3 subunit of leading-strand DNA polymerase. The biological significance of parental histone propagation remains unclear. Here we show that Mcm2-mutated or Pole3-deleted mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) display aberrant histone landscapes and impaired neural differentiation. Mutation of the Mcm2 histone-binding domain causes defects in pre-implantation development and embryonic lethality. ESCs with biased parental histone transfer exhibit increased epigenetic heterogeneity, showing altered histone variant H3.3 and H3K27me3 patterning at genomic sites regulating differentiation genes. Our results indicate that the lagging strand pattern of H3.3 leads to the redistribution of H3K27me3 in Mcm2-2A ESCs. We demonstrate that symmetric parental histone deposition to sister chromatids contributes to cellular differentiation and development.
