Expanding the list of sequence-agnostic enzymes for chromatin conformation capture assays with S1 nuclease.

ABSTRACT: This study presents a novel approach for mapping global chromatin interactions using S1 nuclease, a sequence-agnostic enzyme. We develop and outline a protocol that leverages S1 nuclease's ability to effectively introduce breaks into both open and closed chromatin regions, allowing for comprehensive profiling of chromatin properties. Our S1 Hi-C method enables the preparation of high-quality Hi-C libraries, marking a significant advancement over previously established DNase I Hi-C protocols. Moreover, S1 nuclease's capability to fragment chromatin to mono-nucleosomes suggests the potential for mapping the three-dimensional organization of the genome at high resolution. This methodology holds promise for an improved understanding of chromatin state-dependent activities and may facilitate the development of new genomic methods.

Exploring trophoblast-specific Tead4 enhancers through chromatin conformation capture assays followed by functional screening.

Project description:Tead4 is critical for blastocyst development and trophoblast differentiation. We assayed long-range chromosomal interactions on the Tead4 promoter in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. Using luciferase reporter assays with ES and TS cells for 34 candidate enhancer regions, we identified five genomic fragments that increased Tead4 promoter activity in a TS-specific manner. The five loci consisted of three intra- and two inter-chromosomal loci relative to Tead4 on chromosome 6. We established five mouse lines with one of the five enhancer elements deleted and evaluated the effect of each deletion on Tead4 expression in blastocysts. By quantitative RT-PCR, we measured a 42% decrease in Tead4 expression in the blastocysts with a homozygous deletion with a 1.5 kb genomic interval on chromosome 19 (n = 14) than in wild-type blastocysts. By conducting RNA-seq analysis, we confirmed the trans effect of this enhancer deletion on Tead4 without significant cis effects on its neighbor genes at least within a 1.7 Mb distance. Our results demonstrated that the genomic interval on chromosome 19 is required for the appropriate level of Tead4 expression in blastocysts and suggested that an inter-chromosomal enhancer-promoter interaction may be the underlying mechanism.

Systematic evaluation of chromosome conformation capture assays.

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays are used to map chromatin interactions genome-wide. Chromatin interaction maps provide insights into the spatial organization of chromosomes and the mechanisms by which they fold. Hi-C and Micro-C are widely used 3C protocols that differ in key experimental parameters including cross-linking chemistry and chromatin fragmentation strategy. To understand how the choice of experimental protocol determines the ability to detect and quantify aspects of chromosome folding we have performed a systematic evaluation of 3C experimental parameters. We identified optimal protocol variants for either loop or compartment detection, optimizing fragment size and cross-linking chemistry. We used this knowledge to develop a greatly improved Hi-C protocol (Hi-C 3.0) that can detect both loops and compartments relatively effectively. In addition to providing benchmarked protocols, this work produced ultra-deep chromatin interaction maps using Micro-C, conventional Hi-C and Hi-C 3.0 for key cell lines used by the 4D Nucleome project.

Systematic evaluation of chromosome conformation capture assays

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture (3C)-based assays are used to map chromatin interactions genome-wide. Quantitative analyses of chromatin interaction maps can lead to insights into the spatial organization of chromosomes and the mechanisms by which they fold. A number of protocols such as in situ Hi-C and Micro-C are now widely used and these differ in key experimental parameters including cross-linking chemistry and chromatin fragmentation strategy. To understand how the choice of experimental protocol determines the ability to detect and quantify aspects of chromosome folding we have performed a systematic evaluation of experimental parameters of 3C-based protocols. We find that different protocols capture different 3D genome features with different efficiencies. First, the use of crosslinkers such as DSG in addition to formaldehyde improves signal-to-noise allowing detection of thousands of additional loops and strengthening compartment signal. Second, fragmenting chromatin to the level of nucleosomes using MNase allows detection of more loops. On the other hand, protocols that generate larger multi-kb fragments produce stronger compartmentalization signals. We confirmed our results in multiple cell states such as pluripotent and differentiated cells as well as cell cycle stages; Mitosis and G1. Based on these insights we developed Hi-C 3.0, a single protocol that can be used to both efficiently detect chromatin loops and to quantify compartmentalization. Finally, this study produced ultra-deeply sequenced reference interaction maps using in situ Hi-C, Micro-C and Hi-C 3.0 for commonly cell lines in the 4D Nucleome Project.

3PD: Rapid design of optimal primers for chromosome conformation capture assays.

Project description:BackgroundHigher eukaryotes control the expression of their genes by mechanisms that we are just beginning to understand. A complex layer of control is the dynamic spatial organization of the nucleus.ResultsWe present a bioinformatics solution (3PD) to support the experimentalist in detecting long-ranging intra or inter chromosomal contacts by Chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays. 3C assays take a snapshot of chromosomal contacts by a fixation step and quantify them by PCR. Our contribution is to rapidly design an optimal primer set for the crucial PCR step. Our primer design reduces the level of experimental error as primers are highly similar in terms of physical properties and amplicon length. All 3C primers are compatible with multiplex PCR reactions. Primer uniqueness is checked genome-wide with a suitable index structure.ConclusionsIn summary, our software 3PD facilitates genome-wide primer design for 3C experiments in a matter of seconds. Our software is available as a web server at: http://www.pristionchus.org/3CPrimerDesign/.

Analysis of long-range chromatin interactions using Chromosome Conformation Capture.

Project description:Chromosome Conformation Capture, or 3C, is a pioneering method for investigating the three-dimensional structure of chromatin. 3C is used to analyze long-range looping interactions between any pair of selected genomic loci. Most 3C studies focus on defined genomic regions of interest that can be up to several hundred Kb in size. The method has become widely adopted and has been modified to increase throughput to allow unbiased genome-wide analysis. These large-scale adaptations are presented in other articles in this issue of Methods. Here we describe the 3C procedure in detail, including the appropriate use of the technology, the experimental set-up, an optimized protocol and troubleshooting guide, and considerations for data analysis. The protocol described here contains previously unpublished improvements, which save time and reduce labor. We pay special attention to primer design, appropriate controls and data analysis. We include notes and discussion based on our extensive experience to help researchers understand the principles of 3C-based techniques and to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes. This paper represents a complete resource and detailed guide for anyone who desires to perform 3C.
