Project description:In mammals, the nuclear lamina interacts with hundreds of large genomic regions, termed lamina-associated domains (LADs) that are generally in a transcriptionally repressed state. Lamins form the major structural component of the lamina and have been reported to bind DNA and chromatin. Here we systematically evaluated whether lamins are necessary for the peripheral localization of LADs in murine embryonic stem cells. Surprisingly, removal of essentially all lamins did not have any detectable effect on the genome-wide interaction pattern of chromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. This suggests that other components of the inner nuclear membrane mediate these interactions.

Project description:A large fraction of the mammalian genome is organized into inactive chromosomal domains associated with the nuclear lamina. Using genomic repositioning assays we show that Lamina associated domains (LADs), spanning the developmentally regulated IgH and Cyp3a loci, contain transportable DNA regions that associate chromatin with the nuclear lamina and repress gene activity in fibroblasts. We characterized DNA regions within LADs that are functionally capable of positioning chromatin domains at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) lamina. We mapped and characterized the IgH and other LADs in murine fibroblasts. We show that these murine LADs have a unique chromatin structure with discrete boundaries. We demonstrate DNA regions within LADs that are capable of directing the association of chromatin domains with the INM-lamina as well as the silencing of a co-integrated reporter gene.

Project description:The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous network of filaments that provide both structural and gene regulatory functions by tethering proteins and large domains of DNA, so-called lamin associated domains (LADs), to the periphery of the nucleus. LADs are a large fraction of the mammalian genome that are repressed, in part, by their association to the nuclear periphery. The genesis and maintenance of LADs is poorly understood as are the proteins that participate in these functions. In an effort to identify proteins that reside at the nuclear periphery and potentially interact with LADs, we have taken a two-pronged approach. First, we have undertaken an interactome analysis of the inner nuclear membrane bound LAP2β to further characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. To accomplish this, we have leveraged the BioID system, which previously has been successfully used to characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. Second, we have established a system to identify proteins that bind to LADs by developing a chromatin directed BioID system. We combined the BioID system with the m6A-tracer system which binds to LADs in live cells to identify LAD proximal and nuclear lamina proteins. In combining these datasets, we have further characterized the protein network at the nuclear lamina as well as identified putative LAD proximal proteins. Our analysis identifies many heterochromatin related proteins related to H3K9 methylation processes as well as many proteins related to cell cycle regulation identifying important proteins essential for LAD function.

Project description:The nuclear lamina (NL) interacts with hundreds of large genomic regions termed lamina-associated domains (LADs). The dynamics of these interactions and the relation to epigenetic modifications are poorly understood. We visualized the fate of LADs in single cells using a novel 'molecular contact memory' approach. In each interphase nucleus, only ~30% of LADs are positioned at the periphery; these LADs are in intermittent molecular contact with the NL but remain constrained to the periphery. Upon mitosis, LAD positioning is not detectably inherited but instead is stochastically reshuffled. Contact of individual LADs with the NL correlates with their degree of H3K9 dimethylation in single cells, and inactivation of the H3K9 methyltransferase G9a reduces the NL contact frequencies. These results indicate that nuclear positioning and histone modification of LADs are both stochastic yet linked in single cells. Collectively, these results highlight principles of the dynamic spatial architecture of chromosomes. 12 RNA-seq experiments for 6 samples, each with a biological replicate: m6ATracer-VP16+/DamLaminB1+ m6ATracer-VP16+/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-VP16-/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-GFP+/DamLaminB1+ m6ATracer-GFP+/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-GFP-/DamLaminB1-

Project description:Lamins are components of the peripheral nuclear lamina and interact with heterochromatic genomic regions, termed lamina-associated domains (LADs). In contrast to lamin B1, lamin A/C also localizes throughout the nucleus, where it associates with the chromatin-binding protein lamina-associated polypeptide (LAP) 2alpha. Here we show lamin A/C also interacts with euchromatin, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses of eu- and heterochromatin-enriched samples. By way of contrast, lamin B1 was only found associated with heterochromatin. Euchromatic regions occupied by lamin A/C overlap with those bound by LAP2alpha, the depletion of which shifts binding of lamin A/C towards more heterochromatic regions. These alterations in lamin A/C chromatin interaction affect epigenetic histone marks in euchromatin without significantly affecting gene expression, while loss of lamin A/C in heterochromatic regions increased gene expression. Our data show a novel role of nucleoplasmic lamin A/C and LAP2alpha in regulating euchromatin.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) genome organization is thought to be important for regulation of gene expression. Chromosome conformation capture-based studies have uncovered ensemble organizational principles such as active (A) and inactive (B) compartmentalization. In addition, large inactive regions of the genome associate with the nuclear lamina, the Lamina Associated Domains (LADs). Here we investigate the dynamic relationship between A/B-compartment organization and the 3D organization of LADs. Using refined algorithms to identify active (A) and inactive (B) compartments from Hi-C data and to define LADs from DamID, we confirm that the LADs correspond to the B-compartment. Using specialized chromosome conformation paints, we show that LAD and A/B-compartment organization are dependent upon chromatin state and A-type lamins. By integrating single-cell Hi-C data with live cell imaging and chromosome conformation paints, we demonstrate that self-organization of the B-compartment within a chromosome is an early event post-mitosis and occurs prior to organization of these domains to the nuclear lamina.

Project description:Purpose: to qualify and quantify the rearrangement of interactions of nuclear lamins A/C and B with the genome, in relation to nuclearradial repositioning of loci and changes in gene expression, in HepG2 cells exposed to cyclosporin A. .To compare HepG2 cell line transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) with radially positioning of the chromatin anchored at the nuclear periphery before and after CsA treatment. Methods: To this end, we mapped lamin A and lamin B lamina-associated domains (LADs) by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) of lamin A/C (antibody sc7292x, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and lamin B1 (antibody ab16048, Abcam), respectively. HepG2 cells were either cultured under proliferative conditions (controls) or exposed for 3 days to 10 uM cyclosporin A. We also assesed the transcriptome by RNA-seq under each condition in duplicate cultures. Results: CsA elicits accumulation of pre-lamin A in HepG2 cells, raising the hypothesis of a global rearrangement of lamin-chromatin interactions. We show here the existence of overlapping and distinct lamin A and B lamina-associated domains (which we refer to as A- and B-LADs, respectively). Whereas B-LADs largely remain constitutive, CsA elicits the formation of facultative A-LADs. Re-localization of A-LADs occur mainly on preexisting B-LADs. However, LAD rearrangement does not correlate with systematic changes in gene expression within LADs. We find a reorganization of A- and B-LADs after CsA treatment, entailing distinct contributions of A- and B- type lamins. to genome organization. Indeed, classification of lamin A LADs and lamin B LADs into properties of ‘A-only’, ‘B-only’ and ‘A-B’ LADs show an overall loss of A-only LADs after CsA treatment. A- only and B-only LADs are highly dynamic with A-B LADs being more stable.The rearrangement of lamin association after CsA treatment correlates with repositioning of loci in the nuclear space with, notably, a loss of lamin B associated with a re-localization of loci towards the nuclear center and conversely, a gain of lamin B linked to a repositioning of loci towards the nuclear periphery. Predictions on radial repositioning of LADs, and of loci within, from 3D structural models of the genome were supported by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses. Conclusions: We show that, while they amply co-localize on well-conserved LADs, lamins A and B also interact with distinct genomic regions that can interchange (switch) between lamin A and B upon CsA treatment. We unveil distinct lamin A and B interactions with chromatin, suggesting complementary contributions to genome conformation. Our data suggest that and lamins A and B may differentially modulate genome organization.

Project description:Lamins are the major structural components of the nuclear lamina (NL) beneath the inner nuclear membrane. Although lamins are believed to regulate genome organization and transcription, how they perform these functions remains poorly understood. Combining Hi-C with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Histone and Lamina landscape (HiLands) analyses of chromatin domains, we show that lamins differentially regulate the NL-associated HiLands-P and -B domains in mouse ES cells (mESCs). Lamin loss leads to HiLands-P expansion at the NL, detachment of HiLands-B from the NL, and genome-wide changes of 3D chromatin interactions in NL-associated and interior HiLands in mESCs. Further epigenome and transcriptome analyses show that lamins can function from the NL to maintain the boundaries of active and repressive chromatin domains, thereby influencing gene expression throughout the genome. These findings should provide the basis to further understand how changes in the NL-associated chromatin influence transcription in development and NL-associated diseases.
