CTCF confers local nucleosome resiliency after DNA replication and during mitosis

ABSTRACT: The access of Transcription Factors (TFs) to their cognate DNA binding motifs requires a precise control over nucleosome positioning. This is especially important following DNA replication and during mitosis, both resulting in profound changes in nucleosome organization over TF binding regions. Using mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) cells, we show that the TF CTCF displaces nucleosomes from its binding site and locally organizes large and phased nucleosomal arrays, not only in interphase steady-state but also immediately after replication and during mitosis. While regions bound by other TFs, such as Oct4 and Sox2, display major rearrangement, the post-replication and mitotic nucleosome organization activity of CTCF is not likely to be unique: Esrrb binding regions are also characterized by persistent nucleosome positioning. Therefore, selected TFs such as CTCF and Esrrb act as resilient TFs governing the inheritance of nucleosome positioning at gene regulatory regions throughout the ES cell-cycle.

Transcription factor activity and nucleosome organisation in mitosis

Project description:Mitotic bookmarking transcription factors (BFs) maintain the capacity to bind to their targets during mitosis, despite major rearrangements of the chromatin. While they were thought to propagate gene regulatory information through mitosis by statically occupying their DNA targets, it has recently become clear that BFs are highly dynamic in mitotic cells. This represents both a technical and a conceptual challenge to study and understand the function of BFs: first, formaldehyde has been suggested to be unable to efficiently capture these transient interactions, leading to profound contradictions in the literature; second, if BFs are not permanently bound to their targets during mitosis, it becomes unclear how they convey regulatory information to daughter cells. Here, comparing formaldehyde to alternative fixatives we clarify the nature of the chromosomal association of previously proposed BFs in embryonic stem cells: while ESRRB can be considered as a canonical BF that binds at selected regulatory regions in mitosis, SOX2 and OCT4 establish DNA sequence independent interactions with the mitotic chromosomes, either throughout the chromosomal arms (SOX2) or at pericentromeric regions (OCT4). Moreover, we show that ordered nucleosomal arrays are retained during mitosis at ESRRB bookmarked sites, whereas regions losing transcription factor binding display a profound loss of order. By maintaining nucleosome positioning during mitosis, ESRRB might ensure the rapid post-mitotic re-establishment of functional regulatory complexes at selected enhancers and promoters. Our results provide a mechanistic framework that reconciles dynamic mitotic binding with the transmission of gene regulatory information across cell division.

Dynamically reorganized chromatin is the key for the reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotent cells

Project description:We investigated genome-wide nucleosome coverage and histone methylation occupancies in somatic MEFs, intermediate pre-iPSCs and fully reprogrammed iPSCs. We found that nucleosome occupancies increased in promoter regions and decreased in intergenic regions in pre-iPSCs and then recover to an intermediate level in iPSCs. Nucleosomes in pre-iPSCs are much more phased than those in MEFs and iPSCs. Bivalent, active, repressive domains are cell type-specific and change dynamically during reprogramming. HCG and LCG promoters exhibit distinct nucleosome occupancy patterns and are dynamically marked by H3K4me3/H3K27me3 during reprogramming, correspondingly showing different gene activities. Surprisingly, Vitamin C promotes nucleosome reorganization from pre-iPSCs to iPSCs. CTCF binding sites change dynamically during reprogramming, though they share a conserved binding motif. Nucleosome occupies CTCF sites to a higher extent in pre-iPSCs than those in MEFs and iPSCs. Taken together, our study reveals that dynamic changes of nucleosome positioning and chromatin organization associated gene regulation during reprogramming. Examine dynamics of nucleosome positioning and histone modification profiles as well as gene expression regulation during somatic cell reprogramming

Refined mechanism of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions resetting after replication

Project description:Replication disrupts chromatin organization. Thus, rapid resetting of nucleosome positioning is essential to maintain faithful gene expression. The initial step of this reconfiguration occurs at Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). While studies have elucidated the role of Transcription Factors (TFs) and Chromatin Remodelers (CRs) in vitro or in maintaining NDRs in vivo, none has addressed their in vivo function shortly after replication. Through purification of nascent chromatin coupled with yeast genetics, we dissected the choreography of events governing the proper positioning of the -1/+1 nucleosomes flanking promoter NDRs. Our findings reveal that CRs are the primary contributors of -1/+1 repositioning post-replication, with RSC acting upstream of INO80. Surprisingly, while Reb1 and Abf1 TFs are not essential for NDR resetting, they are required for NDR maintenance via the promotion of H3 acetylations. Taken together, we propose a two-step model for NDR resetting in S. cerevisiae: first, CRs alone reset promoter NDRs after replication, while a combination of TFs and CRs is required for subsequent maintenance.

Contribution of H3K4 demethylase KDM5B to nucleosome organization in embryonic stem cells revealed by micrococcal nuclease sequencing

Project description:Positioning of nucleosomes along DNA is an integral regulator of chromatin accessibility and gene expression in diverse cell types. However, the precise nature of how post-translational modification of histones such as activating trimethylated histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), or histone demethylases including the H3K4 demethylase, KDM5B, impacts nucleosome positioning around transcriptional start sites (TSS) of active genes is poorly understood. Here, we report that KDM5B is a critical regulator of nucleosome positioning in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Micrococcal nuclease sequencing (MNase-Seq) revealed increased enrichment of nucleosomes around TSS regions and DNase I hypersensitive sites in KDM5B-depleted ES cells. Moreover, depletion of KDM5B resulted in a widespread redistribution and disorganization of nucleosomes in a sequence-dependent manner. Dysregulated nucleosome phasing was also evident in KDM5B-depleted ES cells, including asynchronous nucleosome spacing surrounding TSS regions, where nucleosome variance was positively correlated with the degree of asynchronous phasing. The redistribution of nucleosomes around TSS regions in KDM5B-depleted ES cells is correlated with dysregulated gene expression, and altered H3K4me3 and RNA polymerase II occupancy. In addition, we found that DNA shape features varied significantly at regions with shifted nucleosomes. Altogether, our data support a role for KDM5B in regulating nucleosome positioning in ES cells.

Nucleosome organization dynamics during fertilization reveals regulation factors of zygotic gene activation in mouse (MNase-seq)

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is essential for epigenome reprogramming after fertilization. However, the underlying mechanisms of chromatin remodeling remain to be explored. Here, we investigated the dynamic changes in nucleosome occupancy and positioning in pronucleus-stage zygotes using low-input MNase-seq. We observed distinct features of inheritance and reconstruction of nucleosome position in both male and female genomes. Genome-wide de novo nucleosome occupancy in the paternal genome was observed as early as 1 hour after the injection of sperm. The nucleosome positioning pattern was continually rebuilt to form nucleosome depletion regions (NDRs) at promoters and transcription factor (TF) binding sites. NDRs formed more quickly on the promoters of genes involved in zygotic genome activation (ZGA), and their formation is closely connected with histone acetylation, but not transcription elongation or DNA replication. Importantly, we found that NDR establishment on the binding motifs of specific TFs might be associated with their potential pioneer functions in ZGA. Further investigations suggested that the predicted factors MLX and RFX1 played important roles in regulating minor and major ZGA, respectively. Our data not only elucidate the nucleosome positioning dynamics in both male and female pronuclei following fertilization, but also provide an efficient method for identifying key transcription regulators during development.

Mitotic bookmarking redundancy by nuclear receptors mediates robust post-mitotic reactivation of the pluripotency network.

Project description:Mitotic bookmarking transcription factors (TFs) are thought to mediate rapid and accurate post-mitotic gene reactivation. However, the loss of individual bookmarking TFs often leads to the deregulation of only a small proportion of their mitotic targets, raising doubts on the significance and importance of their bookmarking function. Here, we used targeted proteomics of the mitotic bookmarking TF ESRRB, an orphan nuclear receptor, to discover an unexpected redundancy among members of the protein superfamily of nuclear receptors. Focusing on the nuclear receptor NR5A2, which together with ESRRB is essential in maintaining pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells, we demonstrate conjoint bookmarking activity of both factors on promoters and enhancers of a large fraction of active genes, particularly the most rapidly and strongly reactivated ones. Upon fast and simultaneous degradation of both factors during mitotic exit, hundreds of mitotic targets of ESRRB/NR5A2, including key players of the pluripotency network, display attenuated transcriptional reactivation. We propose that redundancy in mitotic bookmarking TFs, especially nuclear receptors, confers robustness to the reestablishment of gene regulatory networks after mitosis.

Principal components of embryonic stem cell pluripotency

Project description:To decipher gene regulatory networks, we used systematic suppression of 97 transcription factors (TFs) and 7 other genes with shRNA in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, followed by global gene expression profiling. Meta-analysis of these data together with the earlier data obtained by the induction of 50 TFs and the existing genome-wide data on TF binding sites identified the sets of regulated target genes for 23 TFs. Principal component analysis shows different roles of two groups of TFs that are active in ES cells: Pou5f1 and Sox2 support the expression of their target genes and prevent the upregulation of trophectoderm-related genes, whereas Esrrb, Sall4, Nanog, Gbx2, Grhl2, Mtf2, Aff1, Tcfap4, and Cdc5l support the expression of targets of Esrrb, including glycolysis genes, and prevent upregulation of targets of Trp53 and Polycomb TFs. If TFs from the second group are downregulated while Pou5f1 and Sox2 are still active, then the cell state changes towards epiblast lineages.

DNA (de)methylation in embryonic stem cells controls CTCF-dependent chromatin boundaries

Project description:Coordinated changes of DNA (de)methylation, nucleosome positioning and chromatin binding of the architectural protein CTCF play an important role for establishing cell type specific chromatin states during differentiation. To elucidate molecular mechanisms that link these processes we studied the perturbed DNA modification landscape in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) carrying a double knockout (DKO) of the Tet1 and Tet2 dioxygenases. These enzymes are responsible for the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into its hydroxymethylated (5hmC), formylated (5fC) or carboxylated (5caC) forms. We determined changes in nucleosome positioning, CTCF binding, DNA methylation and gene expression in DKO ESCs, and developed biophysical models to predict differential CTCF binding. Methylation-sensitive nucleosome repositioning accounted for a significant portion of CTCF binding loss in DKO ESCs, while unmethylated and nucleosome-depleted CpG islands were enriched for CTCF sites that remained occupied. A number of CTCF sites also displayed direct correlations with the CpG modification state: CTCF was preferentially lost from sites that were marked with 5hmC in wild type cells but not from 5fC enriched sites. In addition, we found that some CTCF sites can act as bifurcation points defining the differential methylation landscape. CTCF loss from such sites, e.g. at promoters, boundaries of chromatin loops and topologically associated domains (TADs), was correlated with DNA methylation/demethylation spreading and can be linked to downregulation of neighbouring genes. Our results reveal a hierarchical interplay between cytosine modifications, nucleosome positions and DNA sequence that determines differential CTCF binding and regulates gene expression.
