Manipulation of Long-Range Chromatin Interactions through CTCF Phase Separation for Cell Fate Control

ABSTRACT: Gene expression is controlled under spatial chromatin structures with short-range in topologically associating domains (TAD) and long-range chromatin interactions between TADs, compartments or chromosomes, and disruption of chromatin structure leads to human diseases. The mechanism of short-range chromatin interactions has been well characterized by loop-extrusion model, but little is known about how long-range chromatin interactions are organized. Here, we demonstrate that CTCF contributes to long-range chromatin interactions via phase separation. Surprisingly, RYBP is required for the phase separation and long-range chromatin organization of CTCF. Artificial CTCF phase seperation restores the long-range chromatin interactions and corresponding gene expression which were eliminated by RYBP depletion, and manipulation of CTCF phase separation also maintains pluripotency and inhibits differentation of embryonic stem cells. These findings support a model that long-range chromatin interactions are organized through phase sepearation of architectural protein, and further reveals the distinct mechanisms of architectural protein in organizing short-range and long-range chromatin interactions.

Architectural protein subclasses shape 3-D organization of genomes during lineage commitment

Project description:Understanding the topological configurations of chromatin can reveal valuable insights into how the genome and epigenome act in concert to control cell fate during development. Here we generate high-resolution architecture maps across seven genomic loci in embryonic stem cells and neural progenitor cells. We observe a hierarchy of 3-D interactions that undergo marked reorganization at the sub-Mb scale during differentiation. Distinct combinations of CTCF, Mediator, and cohesin show widespread enrichment in architecture at different length scales. CTCF/cohesin anchor long-range constitutive interactions that might form the topological basis for invariant sub-domains. Conversely, Mediator/cohesin together with pioneer factors bridge short-range enhancer-promoter interactions within and between larger sub-domains. Knockdown of Smc1 or Med12 in ES cells results in disruption of spatial architecture and down-regulation of genes found in cohesin-mediated interactions. We conclude that cell type-specific chromatin organization occurs at the sub-Mb scale and that architectural proteins shape the genome in hierarchical length scales. Analysis of higher-order chromatin chromatin architecture in mouse ES cells and ES-derived NPCs. Analysis of CTCF and Smc1 occupied sites in ES-derived NPCs.

Cohesin-based chromatin interactions enable regulated gene expression within pre-existing architectural compartments.

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture approaches have shown that interphase chromatin is organized into an architectural framework of Mb-sized compartments and sub-Mb-sized topological domains. Cohesin controls chromosome topology to facilitate DNA repair and chromosome segregation in cycling cells, and also associates with active enhancers and promoters and with CTCF to form long-range interactions important for gene regulation. We find that architectural compartments - a major feature of interphase chromatin organization – are maintained in non-cycling mouse thymocytes after genetic depletion of cohesin in vivo. Cohesin was however required for specific long-range interactions within permissive (A-type) compartments, where cohesin-regulated genes reside. Cohesin depletion diminished interactions between cohesin-bound sites, while alternative interactions between chromatin features associated with transcriptional activation and repression became more prominent, with corresponding changes in gene expression. Our findings indicate that cohesin-mediated long-range interactions facilitate discrete gene expression states within pre-existing chromosomal compartments.

Exploring the interaction between the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and the zinc finger factor CTCF

Project description:The transcription factor CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) modulates pleiotropic functions mostly related to gene expression regulation. The role of CTCF in large scale genome organization is also well established. A unifying model to explain relationships between many CTCF-mediated activities involve direct or indirect interactions with numerous protein cofactors recruited to specific binding sites. The co-association of CTCF with other architectural proteins such as cohesin, chromodomain helicases and BRG1 further support the interplay between master regulators of mammalian genome folding. Here we report a comprehensive LC-MS/MS mapping of the components of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex co-associated with CTCF including subunits belonging to the core, signature and ATPase modules. We further show that the localization patterns of representative SWI/SNF members significantly overlap with CTCF sites on transcriptionally active chromatin regions. Moreover, we provide evidence of a direct binding of the BRK-BRG1 domain to the zinc finger motifs 4-8 of CTCF, thus suggesting that these domains mediate the interaction of CTCF with the SWI/SNF complex. These findings provide an updated view of the cooperative nature between CTCF and the SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes, an important step for understanding how these architectural proteins collaborate to shape the genome.

Protein-RNA-Chromatin Interactions Reveal Nuclear RNA Architecture Functions in Transcriptional Condensation and Chromatin Folding

Project description:It has been proposed that nucleome organization and genome function involve interplays between protein, RNA and chromatin architectures. However, how chromatin interactions are cooperatively mediated by nuclear proteins and RNAs have not been fully explored. Here, we report the multivalent interplays in Drosophila cells involving RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII), nuclear RNAs and chromatin interactions. Using a novel genomic approach (pRChIA-PET) for protein-RNA-chromatin interactions, we discovered that extensive combination of nuclear RNAs cooperatively act in trans and co-localize with RNAPII and associated protein cofactors at chromatin interaction loci of active promoters and enhancers. Nuclear perturbation by aliphatic alcohol and RNase-A revealed that chromatin associated nuclear RNAs (canRNAs) are likely integral components in phase-separation for transcriptional condensation, and may act to maintain open chromatin accessibility and long-range chromatin interactions. These findings suggest a significant architectural role for combinatorial canRNAs as potential scaffolding elements in 3D genome organization and transcriptional regulation.

CTCF and transcription orchestrate chromatin structure re-configuration after mitosis [Hi-C]

Project description:During mitosis, transcription is globally attenuated and chromatin architecture is dramatically reconfigured. Here we exploited the M-phase to G1-phase progression to interrogate the contributions of the architectural factor CTCF and the process of transcription to re-sculpting the genome in newborn nuclei. While CTCF appears to be dispensable for large scale post-mitotic compartmentalization, depletion of CTCF specifically during the M-phase to G1-phase transition alters the re-establishment of local short-range compartmentalization after mitosis. Without CTCF, structural loops fail to reform, leading to illegitimate contacts between cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and altered gene expression in G1-phase. Transient CRE contacts that are normally resolved after telophase persist deeply into G1-phase in CTCF depleted cells. Boundary reformation is largely disrupted upon CTCF loss. Yet, a subset (~27%) of boundaries emerges normally in the absence of CTCF and is characterized by transitions in chromatin states. Reformation of gene domains can occur prior to the full onset of transcription and can be linked to tri-methylation at lysine 36 of histone 3 (H3K36me3), a mark stable throughout mitosis. The focus on the de novo formation of nuclear architecture during G1 entry yielded novel insights into how CTCF and the process of transcription contribute to the dynamic re-configuration of chromatin architecture during the mitosis to G1 phase progression.

Myc regulates chromatin decompaction and nuclear architecture during B cell activation

Project description:50 years ago, Vincent Allfrey and colleagues discovered that lymphocyte activation triggers massive acetylation of chromatin. However, the molecular mechanisms driving epigeneticaccessibility are still unknown. We here show that stimulated lymphocytes decondense chromatin by three differentially regulated steps. First, chromatin is repositioned away from the nuclear periphery in response to global acetylation. Second, histone nanodomainclusters decompact into mononucleosome fibers through a mechanism that requires Mycand continual energy input. Single-molecule imaging shows that this step lowers transcription factor residence time and non-specific collisions during sampling for DNA targets. Third, chromatin interactions shift from long range to predominantly short range, and CTCF-mediated loops and contact domains double in numbers. This architectural change facilitates cognate promoter-enhancer contacts and also requires Myc and continual ATPproduction. Our results thus define the nature and transcriptional impact of chromatin decondensation and reveal an unexpected role for Myc in the establishment of nuclear topology in mammalian cells.

CTCF knockout in zebrafish induces alterations in regulatory landscapes and developmental gene expression [Hi-ChIP]

Project description:CTCF is an 11-zinc-finger DNA-binding protein that acts as a transcriptional repressor and insulator, as well as an architectural protein required for 3D genome folding. CTCF mediates long-range chromatin looping and is enriched at the boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs), which are sub-megabase chromatin structures composed of genomic regions with high contact frequency. Although CTCF is essential for cycling cells and developing embryos, its in vitro removal has only modest effects over gene expression, challenging the generally accepted idea that TADs facilitate enhancer-promoter interactions within gene regulatory landscapes. However, the effects of an altered CTCF-mediated chromatin structure on gene regulation in vivo are poorly understood. Here, we have generated a ctcf knockout mutant in zebrafish that allows us to monitor the effect of CTCF loss of function during embryo patterning and organogenesis. CTCF absence leads to a loss of chromatin structure in zebrafish embryos and affects the expression of thousands of genes, among them many developmental genes. In addition, we show that chromatin accessibility, both at CTCF sites and at developmental cis-regulatory elements (CREs), is severely compromised in ctcf mutants. Probing chromatin interactions from developmental genes at high resolution, we further demonstrate that promoters fail to fully establish long-range contacts with their associated regulatory landscapes, leading to altered gene expression patterns during development. Therefore, our results demonstrate that CTCF and TADs are essential to finetune gene expression during embryonic development, providing the structural basis for the establishment of developmental gene regulatory landscapes.
