Risk Variants for Exfoliation Syndrome Modulate Antisense Promoter Activity Within the LOXL1 Locus

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to identify functional variants that play a role in exfoliation syndrome (XFS) pathogenesis. We sequenced the entire LOXL1 locus in 50 South African XFS cases and 50 matched controls. The most strongly associated variants in this dataset were found in a ~7kb region spanning the LOXL1 exon 1/intron 1 boundary. DNase hypersensitivity analysis was used to demonstrate that this region, which lies upstream of the LOXL1 antisense RNA (LOXL1-AS1), contains regulatory activity. determining of chromatin structural changes in 3 cell types.

Direct GR binding sites potentiate clusters of TF binding across the human genome

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds the human genome at >10,000 sites, but only regulates the expression of hundreds of genes. To determine the functional effect of each site, we measured the glucocorticoid (GC) responsive activity of nearly all GR binding sites (GBSs) captured using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in A549 cells. 13% of GBSs assayed had GC-induced activity. The responsive sites were defined by direct GR binding via a GC response element (GRE) and exclusively increased reporter- gene expression. Meanwhile, most GBSs lacked GC-induced reporter activity. The non-responsive sites had epigenetic features of steady state enhancers and clustered around direct GBSs. Together, our data support a model in which clusters of GBSs observed with ChIP-seq reflect interactions between direct and tethered GBSs over tens of kilobases. We further show that those interactions can synergistically modulate the activity of direct GBSs, and may therefore play a major role in driving gene activation in response to GCs. Glucoroticoid receptor binding site chip-seq libraries were cloned into STARR-seq for massively parallel functional analysis. The results were confirmed by ChIP-Exo performed on the GR in A549 cells treated with 100 nM dexamethasone for one hour. Dnase-seq was performed on A549 cells treated for 1 h with dexamethasone or ethanol.

Extensive Evolutionary Changes in Regulatory Element Activity during Human Origins Are Associated with Altered Gene Expression and Positive Selection [Dnase-seq]

Project description:The human genome shares a remarkable amount of genomic sequence with our closest living primate relatives. Researchers have long sought to understand what regions of the genome are responsible for unique species-specific traits. Previous studies have shown that many genes are differentially expressed between species, but the regulatory elements contributing to these differences are largely unknown. Here we report a genome-wide comparison of active gene regulatory elements in human, chimpanzee, and macaque, and we identify hundreds of regulatory elements that have been gained or lost in the human or chimpanzee genomes since their evolutionary divergence. These elements contain evidence of natural selection and correlate with species-specific changes in gene expression. Polymorphic DNA bases in transcription factor motifs that we found in these regulatory elements may be responsible for the varied biological functions across species. This study directly links phenotypic and transcriptional differences between species with changes in chromatin structure. One biological replicate was analyzed for each of the 15 primate samples using DNase-seq.

Microbiota modulate transcription in the intestinal epithelium without remodeling the accessible chromatin landscape

Project description:We profiled transcriptome and accessible chromatin landscapes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from mice reared in the presence or absence of microbiota. We show that regional differences in gene transcription along the intestinal tract were accompanied by major alterations in chromatin organization. Surprisingly, we discovered that microbiota modify host gene transcription in IECs without significantly impacting the accessible chromatin landscape. Instead, microbiota regulation of host gene transcription might be achieved by differential expression of specific TFs and enrichment of their binding sites in nucleosome depleted CRRs near target genes. Our results suggest that the chromatin landscape in IECs is pre-programmed by the host in a region-specific manner to permit responses to microbiota through binding of open CRRs by specific TFs. mRNA and accessible chromatin (DNase-seq) profiles from colonic and ileal IECs were compared between conventionally-raised (CR), germ-free (GF), and conventionalized (CV) C57BL/6 mice.

Reprogramming by de-bookmarking somatic transcriptional program via targeting the BET bromodomains

Project description:One critical task in pluripotent reprogramming is to erase the somatic transcriptional program of starting cells. No strategy or theory exists for achieving erasure of somatic gene expression memory. Here, we present a proof-of-principle strategy in which reprogramming to pluripotency is facilitated by small molecules that erase somatic cell transcription memory. We show that mild chemical targeting of the acetyllysine-binding pockets of the BET bromodomains, the transcriptional bookmarking domains, robustly enhances reprogramming. Furthermore, we show that chemical targeting of the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains dramatically downregulates specific somatic gene expression programs in both naÃ¯ve and reprogramming fibroblasts. Chemical blocking of the BET bromodomains also resulted in loss of fibroblast morphology early in reprograming. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a concept for cell fate conversion: facilitating the conversion by chemically targeting the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains responsible for transcriptional memory. human BJ cells were treated with JQ1 at 50 nM for 48 hours. Differential expression was compared with DMSO treatment. The same treatments and comparsion were conducted for reprogramming BJ cells, which were transduced with OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4.

RNA helicase DDX21 coordinates transcription and noncoding RNA processing of the ribosomal pathway

Project description:DEAD-box RNA helicases are vital for the regulation of various aspects of the RNA life cycle, but the molecular underpinnings of their involvement, particularly in mammalian cells, remain poorly understood. Here we show that the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX21 can sense transcriptional status of both RNA Pol I and Pol II to control transcriptional and post-transcriptional steps of ribosome biogenesis in human cells. We demonstrate that DDX21 widely associates with Pol I- and Pol II-transcribed genes and with diverse species of protein-coding and noncoding RNAs. Although broad, these molecular interactions, both at the chromatin and at the RNA level, exhibit a remarkable specificity for the ribosomal pathway. In the nucleolus, DDX21 occupies the transcribed rDNA locus, directly contacts both rRNA and snoRNAs and, as a functional component of the snoRNA ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex, promotes modification of rRNA. In the nucleoplasm, DDX21 is incorporated into the 7SK snRNP complex, which facilitates DDX21 association with promoters of Pol II-transcribed genes encoding ribosomal proteins and snoRNAs. Promoter-bound DDX21 facilitates the release of P-TEFb from the 7SK snRNP, enhancing productive Pol II elongation. Altogether, we present a unifying mechanism for the coordinated regulation of ribosomal genes across nuclear compartments, and provide first evidence implicating a mammalian RNA helicase in RNA modification and Pol II elongation control.

Explicit DNase sequence bias modeling enables high resolution transcription factor footprint detection

Project description:DNase I footprinting is an established assay for identifying transcription factor (TF)-DNA interactions with single base pair resolution. High throughput DNase-seq assays have recently been used to detect in vivo DNase footprints across the genome. A number of computational approaches have been developed to accurately identify DNase-seq footprints and these methods have been used as a predictor of TF-DNA interactions by itself or in combination with other epigenetic features. However, recent studies have pointed to a substantial cleavage bias of DNase and its impact on footprinting, casting doubts on its predictive performance. To assess the potential for using DNaseI to identify individual binding sites, we performed DNase-seq experiments on deproteinized naked genomic DNA isolated from two different cell types and determined sequence cleavage bias associated with the DNase-seq protocol. This allowed us to build cleavage bias corrected footprint models specific to individual transcription factors. The predictive performance of these DNase-seq-based binding site models demonstrated that predicted footprints corresponded to high confidence TF-DNA interactions. To quantify the DNase I sequence-dependent cleavage bias, we performed DNase-seq experiments using deproteinized DNA from K562 and MCF7 cell lines.
