Chd4 regulates intra-chromatin looping by concealing CTCF sites from B2 SINEs in mESCs

ABSTRACT: CTCF plays a critical role in maintaining the three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization, which is important for gene regulation, as it allows distal regulatory elements to come into proximity with one another. However, the detailed mechanism responsible for establishing and maintaining the recruitment of CTCF remains elusive. Here, we use in situ Hi-C to show that the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler, Chd4, regulates intra-chromatin looping by controlling chromatin accessibility to conceal aberrant CTCF-binding sites in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). These aberrant CTCF-binding sites are embedded in B2 SINEs and are localized within the interior of chromatin loops. In the absence of Chd4, the aberrant CTCF-binding sites become accessible and improper CTCF recruitment occurs, resulting in disorganization of the 3D chromatin architecture and subsequent disruption of enhancer-promoter interactions and the transcription of the corresponding genes. These results indicate that Chd4 regulates adequate transcription of mESCs by securing the proper 3D chromatin organization.

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

ChIP-seq data in mESCs show ZFP661 suppresses cohesin binding at CTCF barriers

Project description:In this assay, we aimed to investigate the occupancy of ZFP661 in the mouse genome and its possible role in regulating the occupancies of CTCF and cohesin, which are two key factors in establishing 3D chromatin structures. To achieve this, we performed ChIP-seq in ZFP661-3HA endogenously tagged mESCs (for ZFP661), Zfp661 knockout (KO) mESCs (for CTCF and RAD21), and ZFP661-3HA overexpressing (OE) mESCs (for ZFP661, CTCF, RAD21, KAP1, and H3K9me3). Our results reveal that 1) ZFP661 binding peaks were co-occupied with those of CTCF; 2) ZFP661 binds exclusively inside the CTCF loop anchors; and 3) ZFP661 can suppress cohesin binding at CTCF barriers without altering CTCF binding.

CTCF binding polarity determines chromatin looping [4C]

Project description:CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an architectural protein involved in the three-dimensional organization of chromatin. In this study, we systematically assayed the 3D genomic contact profiles of hundreds of CTCF binding sites in multiple tissues with high-resolution 4C-seq. We find both developmentally stable and dynamic chromatin loops. As recently reported, our data also suggest that chromatin loops preferentially form between CTCF binding sites oriented in a convergent manner. To directly test this, we used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to delete core CTCF binding sites in three loci, including the CTCF site in the Sox2 super-enhancer. In all instances, CTCF and cohesin recruitment were lost, and chromatin loops with distal CTCF sites were disrupted or destabilized. Re-insertion of oppositely oriented CTCF recognition sequences restored CTCF and cohesin recruitment, but did not re-establish chromatin loops. We conclude that CTCF binding polarity plays a functional role in the formation of higher order chromatin structure. 4C-seq was performed on a large number of viewpoints in E14 embryonic stem cells, neural precursor cells and primary fetal liver cells

The ChAHP complex counteracts chromatin looping at Ctcf sites that have emerged from recent SINE expansions

Project description:Ctcf and cohesin are key players in the three dimensional organization of chromatin. Whereas genome-wide Ctcf binding has diverged substantially between species due to transposon-mediated motif expansions, demarcation of topologically associating domains (TADs) by Ctcf is remarkably well conserved. Yet, the Ctcf consensus motif poorly predicts TADs and the majority of Ctcf sites are not at TAD boundaries. Here we demonstrate that the ChAHP complex (Chd4, Adnp, HP1) competes with Ctcf for a common set of genomic binding sites. In absence of ChAHP, novel insulated regions are formed at ChAHP bound sites, whereas proximal canonical boundaries are weakened. These data reveal that Ctcf-mediated loop formation is modulated by a distinct zinc-finger protein complex. Strikingly, ChAHP bound loci are mainly situated within evolutionary young SINE B2 transposable elements. This further implicates ChAHP in maintenance of evolutionary conserved spatial chromatin organization by buffering novel Ctcf binding sites that emerged through SINE expansions.

RBBP4 is an epigenetic barrier for inducing pluripotent stem cells to totipotent 2C-like cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Cellular totipotency is critical for generating a whole organism, yet how to establish totipotency is still poorly illustrated. Unlike pluripotent stem cells, abundant transposable elements (TEs) are activated in the totipotent cells. Here, we show that histone chaperone RBBP4 but not its homologous RBBP7 is indispensable in maintaining the identity of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Auxin-induced degradation of RBBP4, but not RBBP7, reprograms pluripotent state to a totipotent-like (also known as 2C-like) state. Mechanistically, RBBP4 could recruit G9a and KAP1 to bind on retrotransposons, especially endogenous retroviruses. RBBP4 degradation reduces the binding of G9a-mediated H3K9me2 on ERVL (particularly MERVL) and KAP1-mediated H3K9me3 on ERV1/ERVK, respectively. Moreover, RBBP4 facilitates nucleosome occupancy through chromatin remodeler CHD4 and RBBP4 depletion leads to attenuation of CHD4 binding and nucleosome occupancy on TEs. Together, our study reveals the important roles of RBBP4 in heterochromatin assembly and its loss activates TEs in mESCs, opening a new way to obtain totipotent cells in vitro.
