Computational prediction of CTCF/cohesin-based intra-TAD (sbTAD) loops that insulate chromatin contacts and gene expression in mouse liver


ABSTRACT: This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below, and presents the high throuput sequencing datasets that were generated as part of a larger study that investigates the role of CTCF and cohesin as key drivers of 3D-nuclear organization, anchoring the megabase-scale Topologically Associating Domains (TADs) that segment the genome. This study presents and validates a computational method to predict cohesin-and-CTCF binding sites that form intra-TAD DNA loops. The intra-TAD loop anchors identified are structurally indistinguishable from TAD anchors regarding binding partners, sequence conservation, and resistance to cohesin knockdown; further, the intra-TAD loops retain key functional features of TADs, including chromatin contact insulation, blockage of repressive histone mark spread, and ubiquity across tissues. The intra-TAD loops are proposed to be formed by the same loop extrusion mechanism as the larger TAD loops; their shorter length enables finer regulatory control in restricting enhancer-promoter interactions, which enables selective, high-level expression of gene targets of super-enhancers and genes located within repressive nuclear compartments. These findings elucidate the role of intra-TAD cohesin-and-CTCF binding in nuclear organization associated with widespread insulation of distal enhancer activity.
