YY1 is a structural regulator of enhancer-promoter loops [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: There is considerable evidence that chromosome structure plays important roles in gene control, but we have limited understanding of the proteins that contribute to structural interactions between gene promoters and their enhancer elements. Large DNA loops that encompass genes and their regulatory elements depend on CTCF-CTCF interactions, but most enhancer-promoter interactions do not depend on this structural protein. Here we show that the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) contributes to enhancer-promoter structural interactions in a manner analogous to DNA interactions mediated by CTCF. YY1 binds to active enhancers and promoter-proximal elements in all cells examined. YY1 forms dimers that can facilitate DNA interactions. Deletion of YY1 binding sites or depletion of YY1 can disrupt enhancer-promoter looping and normal gene expression. We propose that YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter interactions are a general feature of mammalian gene control.

Yin Yang 1 regulates cohesin complex protein SMC3 in mouse hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes 3 (SMC3) are two critical chromatin structural factors that mediate long-distance enhancer-promoter interactions and promote developmentally regulated changes in chromatin architecture in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). While YY1 plays critical functions in promoting hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and maintaining HSC quiescence, SMC3 is required for proper myeloid lineage differentiation. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding how YY1 and SMC3 interact with each other and impact hematopoiesis. We found that YY1 physically interacts with SMC3 and co-occupies with SMC3 at a large cohort of promoters genome-wide, and YY1 deficiency deregulates the genetic network governing cell metabolism. YY1 occupies the Smc3 promoter and represses SMC3 expression in HSPCs. YY1 regulates HSC metabolic pathways and maintains proper intracellular reactive oxygen species levels in HSCs, and this regulation is independent of YY1- SMC3 axis. Our results establish a distinct YY1-SMC3 axis and its impact on HSC quiescence and metabolism.

YY1 and CTCF Orchestrate a 3D Chromatin Looping Switch during Early Neural Lineage Commitment

Project description:CTCF is an architectural protein with a critical role in connecting higher-order chromatin folding in pluripotent stem cells. Recent reports have suggested that CTCF binding is more dynamic during development than previously appreciated. Here we set out to understand the extent to which shifts in genome-wide CTCF occupancy contribute to the 3-D reconfiguration of fine-scale chromatin folding during early neural lineage commitment. Unexpectedly, we observe a sharp decrease in CTCF occupancy during the transition from naïve/primed pluripotency to multipotent primary neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Many pluripotency gene-enhancer interactions are anchored by CTCF and its occupancy is lost in parallel with loop decommissioning during differentiation. Conversely, CTCF binding sites in NPCs are largely pre-existing in pluripotent stem cells. Only a small number of CTCF sites arise de novo in NPCs. We identify another zinc finger protein, Yin Yang 1 (YY1), at the base of looping interactions between NPC-specific genes and enhancers. Putative NPC-specific enhancers exhibit strong YY1 signal when engaged in 3-D contacts and negligible YY1 signal when not in loops. Moreover, siRNA knockdown of YY1 specifically disrupts interactions between key NPC enhancers and their target genes. YY1-mediated interactions between NPC regulatory elements are often nested within constitutive loops anchored by CTCF. Together, our results support a model in which YY1 acts as an architectural protein to connect developmentally regulated looping interactions; the location of YY1-mediated interactions may be demarcated in development by a pre-existing topological framework created by constitutive CTCF-mediated interactions.

Yin Yang 1 regulates cohesin complex protein SMC3 in adult hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes 3 (SMC3) are two critical chromatin structural factors that mediate long-distance enhancer-promoter interactions and promote developmentally regulated changes in chromatin architecture in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). While YY1 plays critical functions in maintaining hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence, SMC3 is required for proper lineage differentiation. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding how YY1 and SMC3 interact with each other and impact hematopoiesis. We found that YY1 physically interacts with SMC3 and co-occupies with SMC3 at a large cohort of promoters genome-wide, and YY1 deficiency deregulates the genetic network governing cell metabolism. YY1 occupies the Smc3 promoter and represses SMC3 expression in HSPCs. While deletion of one Smc3 allele partially restores HSC numbers and quiescence in YY1 knockout mice, HSC self-renewal remains defective. YY1 regulates HSC metabolic pathways and maintains proper intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in HSCs, and this regulation is independent of YY1- SMC3 axis. Our results establish a distinct YY1-SMC3 axis and its impact on HSC quiescence, self-renewal and metabolism

Transcription factor trapping by RNA in gene regulatory elements (CLIP-Seq)

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific sequences in promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements in order to regulate gene transcription. RNA is transcribed from both promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements, and some DNA-binding TFs have also been shown to bind RNA. These obsevations led us to postulate that RNA transcribed from regulatory elements contributes to stable TF occupancy at these regulatory elements. We show here that the ubiquitously expressed TF YY1 binds to both proximal and distal regulatory elements and to the RNA species associated with these elements near active genes in embryonic stem cells. Inhibition of transcription from these elements reduces YY1 occupancy. In contrast, tethering of RNA species near YY1 DNA binding sites enhances YY1 occupancy. We propose that RNA acts as trap to maintain certain TFs at active enhancer and promoter-proximal regulatory elements. Thus, transcriptional control generally involves a positive feedback loop, where YY1 and other TFs stimulate local transcription, and newly transcribed nascent RNA reinforces local TF occupancy. This model helps explain why TFs occupy only the small fraction of their consensus motifs in the mammalian genome where transcription is detected. CLIP-Seq for YY1 in mouse embryonic stem cells
