Acute depletion of CTCF rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility

ABSTRACT: Accumulated data suggest that transcription factor CTCF is indispensable to define topologically associated domain (TAD) boundaries and to maintain intra-TAD chromatin loop structures. However, upon genome-wide acute depletion of CTCF, the discrepancy between global reduction of chromatin interactions and minimal alteration of transcription has been evidently observed. To understand CTCF’s direct role in chromatin accessibility and global transcriptional regulation, we have systematically integrated data collected from ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, whole genome bisulfite-seq, Cut&Run and HiC in a previously established CTCF-miniAID knock-in cell lines. Acute degradation of CTCF markedly rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility but not DNA methylation. Differentially altered ATAC-seq peaks are highly associated with adjacent CTCF binding sites, supporting the direct link between CTCF occupancy and its surrounding chromatin accessibility. Increased ATAC-seq peaks upon CTCF loss are notably associated with enhanced transcription at promoter regions and insulator sites, while decreased ATAC-seq peaks are significantly enriched at DNA loops. Furthermore, using CTCF associated multi-Omics data we have established a combinatorial data analysis pipeline to discover novel CTCF mediated insulators in the genome, by which we have successfully identified 67 novel insulators at non-coding regions distal to promoters. Functional CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) unconstrained the repressive transcriptional regulation of target genes. In sum, using CTCF acute depletion cell model and multi-Omics analysis, we concluded that CTCF loss rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility, which plays a critical role for transcriptional regulation.

Acute depletion of CTCF rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility

Project description:The transcription factor CTCF appears indispensable in defining topologically associated domain boundaries and maintaining chromatin loop structures within these domains, supported by numerous functional studies. However, acute depletion of CTCF globally reduces chromatin interactions but does not significantly alter transcription. Here we systematically integrated multi-omics data including ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, WGBS, Hi-C, Cut&Run, CRISPR-Cas9 survival dropout screening, time-solved deep proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses in cells carrying auxin-induced degron at endogenous CTCF locus. Acute CTCF protein degradation markedly rewired genome-wide chromatin accessibility. Increased accessible chromatin regions were largely located adjacent to CTCF-binding sites at promoter regions and insulator sites and were associated with enhanced transcription of nearby genes. In addition, we used CTCF-associated multi-omics data to establish a combinatorial data analysis pipeline to discover CTCF co-regulatory partners in regulating downstream gene expression. We successfully identified 40 candidates, including multiple established partners (i.e., MYC) supported by all layers of evidence. Interestingly, many CTCF co-regulators (e.g., YY1, ZBTB7A) that have evident alterations of respective downstream gene expression do not show changes at their expression levels across the multi-omics measurements upon acute CTCF loss, highlighting the strength of our system to discover hidden co-regulatory partners associated with CTCF-mediated transcription. This study highlights CTCF loss rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility, which plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation

CTCF Mediates Dosage and Sequence-context-dependent Transcriptional Insulation through Formation of Local Chromatin Domains [RNA-seq]

Project description:Insulators play a critical role in spatiotemporal gene expression in metazoans by separating active and repressive chromatin domains and preventing inappropriate enhancer-promoter contacts. The evolutionarily conserved CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is required for insulator function in mammals, but not all of its binding sites act as insulators. Here, we explore the sequence requirements of CTCF-mediated transcriptional insulation with the use of a sensitive insulator reporter assay in mouse embryonic stem cells. We find that potent insulation is provided by multiple CTCF binding sites. Furthermore, CTCF-mediated insulation is dependent on DNA sequences adjacent to its core binding motifs, and CTCF binding sites from topologically associating domains (TAD) boundaries are more likely to function as insulators than those outside TAD boundaries independent of binding strength. Using chromosomal conformation capture assays and high resolution chromatin imaging techniques, we demonstrate that insulators reduce enhancer-promoter contacts by forming local chromatin domains. Taken together, our results provide strong genetic, molecular and imaging evidence connecting chromatin topology to action of insulators in the mammalian genome.

M1BP cooperates with CP190 to activate transcription at TAD borders and promote chromatin insulator activity

Project description:Genome organization is driven by forces affecting transcriptional state, but the relationship between transcription and genome architecture remains unclear. Here, we identified the Drosophila transcription factor Motif 1 Binding Protein (M1BP) in physical association with the gypsy chromatin insulator core complex, including the universal insulator protein CP190. M1BP is required for enhancer-blocking and barrier activities of the gypsy insulator as well as its proper nuclear localization. Genome-wide, M1BP specifically colocalizes with CP190 at Motif 1-containing promoters, which are enriched at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders. M1BP facilitates CP190 chromatin binding at many shared sites and vice versa. Both factors promote Motif 1-dependent gene expression and transcription near TAD borders genome-wide. Finally, loss of M1BP reduces chromatin accessibility and increases both inter- and intra-TAD local genome compaction. Our results reveal physical and functional interaction between CP190 and M1BP to activate transcription at TAD borders and mediate chromatin insulator-dependent genome organization.

CTCF demarcates chromatin domains

Project description:Insulators are DNA elements, which prevent inappropriate interactions between the neighboring regions of the genome. They can be functionally classified as either enhancer blockers or domain barriers. CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) is the only known major insulator binding protein in the vertebrates and has been shown to bind many enhancer-blocking elements. However, it is not clear whether it plays a role in chromatin domain barriers between active and repressive domains. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide binding sites of CTCF in three cell types and identified significant binding of CTCF to the boundaries of repressive chromatin domains marked by H3K27me3. Although we find an extensive overlapping of CTCF binding sites across the three cell types, its association with the domain boundaries is cell type-specific. We further show that the nucleosomes flanking CTCF binding sites are well positioned and associated with histone H2AK5 acetylation (H2AK5ac). Interestingly, we found a complementary pattern between the repressive H3K27me3 and the active H2AK5ac regions, which are separated by CTCF. Our findings indicate that CTCF may play important roles in the barrier activity of insulators and provide a resource for further investigation of the CTCF function in organizing chromatin in the human genome. Examination of the role of CTCF in chromatin domain barrier function In addition to the ChIP-seq analysis, two replicates of HeLa expression data were studied.

RNAi-independent role for Argonaute2 in CTCF/CP190 chromatin insulator function

Project description:Chromatin insulators and Polycomb group (PcG) complexes control nuclear organization to effect changes in gene expression. In Drosophila, RNA silencing pathways influence long range interactions mediated by PcG proteins and nuclear localization of the gypsy insulator; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we identify a singular requirement for Argonaute2 (AGO2) for the activity of the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)/Centrosomal protein 190 (CP190) dependent Fab-8 insulator. AGO2 and CP190 interact physically, and genome wide localization of AGO2 by chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveals extensive colocalization of AGO2 with insulators and Polycomb Response Elements (PREs) but minimal overlap with regions of endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) production. Finally, depletion of either CTCF or CP190 results in loss of AGO2 association with insulators, PREs, and other cis-regulatory regions. Our findings suggest that Dicer-independent recruitment of AGO2 to chromatin by insulator proteins promotes the definition of transcriptional domains throughout the genome.

Epigenetic changes in amygdala and cortex of fear-conditioned and ErbB4 Knock-out mice

Project description:Chromatin accessibility provides an important window into the regulation of gene expression. Recently, the Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) was developed to profile genome-wide chromatin accessibility. Here we applied a read-downsampling approach to call robust ATAC-seq peaks in order to profile the regions of differential chromatin accessibility of central amygdala and cortex between different experimental conditions; fear-conditioned vs. control mice and ErbB4 knock-out vs. wild-type mice.
