Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are key regulators of chromatin state, yet the nature and sites of RNA-chromatin interaction are mostly unknown. Here we introduce Chromatin Isolation by RNA Purification (ChIRP), where tiling oligonucleotides retrieve specific lincRNAs and bound protein and DNA sequences, which are enumerated by deep sequencing. ChIRP-seq of two lincRNAs reveal that RNA binding sites in the genome are focal, sequence-specific, and numerous. Human telomerase RNA TERC occupies telomeres and Wnt pathway genes. HOTAIR lincRNA preferentially binds a GA-rich homopurine DNA motif to nucleate broad domains of Polycomb occupancy and histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation. HOTAIR occupancy occurs independently of EZH2, defining the order of RNA guidance of Polycomb occupancy. ChIRP-seq is readily applicable to numerous RNAs in different cell types and biological states, thus enabling the study of RNA regulation of chromatin and gene expression at a genomic scale.

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are widespread in cellular organisms, however, the origins and functions of many lincRNAs remain to be explored. Transposable elements (TEs) are widely distributed in many eukaryotic genomes, and often account for large fractions of plant and animal genomes. By using strand-specific RNA sequencing, we profiled the expression patterns of lincRNAs in Arabidopsis, rice and maize, and identified TE-associated lincRNAs (TE-lincRNAs). Stress regulation of some TE-lincRNAs was observed in Arabidopsis. Our findings indicate that TE-associated lincRNAs potentially play important roles in plant abiotic stress responses. Moreover, in the Arabidopsis chromatin remodelling mutant ddm1 that has an altered chromatin state, novel lincRNAs including TE-lincRNAs were generated. The novel lincRNAs were inherited in the subsequent generations in the wild type background, suggesting that lincRNAs could act as an adaptive reservoir in eukaryotes.

Project description:Interphase chromatin is organized into topologically associating domains (TADs). Within TADs, chromatin looping interactions are formed between DNA regulatory elements, but their functional importance for the establishment of the 3D genome organization and gene regulation during development is unclear. Using high-resolution Hi-C experiments, we analyze higher order 3D chromatin organization during Drosophila embryogenesis and identify active and repressive chromatin loops that are established with different kinetics and depend on distinct factors: Zelda-dependent active loops are formed before the midblastula transition between transcribed genes over long distances. Repressive loops within polycomb domains are formed after the midblastula transition between polycomb response elements by the action of GAGA factor and polycomb proteins. Perturbation of PRE function by CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering affects polycomb domain formation and destabilizes polycomb-mediated silencing. Preventing loop formation without removal of polycomb components also decreases silencing efficiency, suggesting that chromatin architecture can play instructive roles in gene regulation during development.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are histone-modifying and -binding complexes that mediate the formation of facultative heterochromatin and are required for silencing of developmental genes and maintenance of cell fate. Multiple pathways of RNA decay work together to establish and maintain heterochromatin in fission yeast, including a recently identified role for a conserved RNA degradation complex called the rixosome or RIX1 complex. Whether RNA degradation also plays a role in the stability of mammalian heterochromatin remains unknown. Here we show that the rixosome contributes to silencing of many Polycomb targets in human cells. The rixosome associates with human PRC complexes and is enriched at promoters of Polycomb target genes. Importantly, depletion of either the rixosome or Polycomb results in accumulation of paused and elongating RNA polymerase at Polycomb-target genes. We identify point mutations in the RING1B subunit of PRC1 that disrupt the interaction between PRC1 and the rixosome and result in diminished silencing, suggesting that direct recruitment of the rixosome to chromatin is required for silencing. Finally, we show that the RNA kinase activity of the rixosome and the XRN2 exoribonuclease, which degrades RNAs with 5’ mono-phosphate groups generated by the rixosome, are required for silencing. Our findings suggest that rixosome-mediated degradation of nascent RNA is conserved from fission yeast to human, although in human cells the rixosome degrades RNA in facultative rather than constitutive heterochromatin.

Project description:We recently showed that the mammalian genome encodes more than a thousand large intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) that are clearly conserved across mammals and thus functional. Gene expression patterns have implicated these lincRNAs in diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation, immune surveillance, and embryonic stem cell pluripotency. However, the mechanism by which these lincRNAs function is unknown. Here, we expand the catalog of human lincRNAs to ~3300 by analyzing chromatin-state maps of various human cell types. Inspired by the observation that the well-characterized lincRNA HOTAIR bind the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), we tested whether many lincRNAs are physically associated with PRC2. Remarkably, we observe that ~20% of lincRNAs expressed in various cell types are bound by PRC2, and that additional lincRNAs are bound by other chromatin-modifying complexes. Moreover, we show that siRNA-mediated depletion of certain lincRNAs associated with PRC2 leads to changes in gene expression and that the upregulated genes are enriched for those normally silenced by PRC2. We propose a model in which some lincRNAs guide chromatin–modifying complexes to specific genomic loci to regulate gene expression.

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) transcribed from intergenic regions play important roles in key biological processes.Analysis of published transcriptom datasets suggested some lincRNAs may be regulated by SERRATE,CBP20 and CBP80 in Arabidopsis. To further investigate the regulation, we use Arabidopsis lincRNA arrays v1 to detect lincRNA expression in se-2 and cbp20/80 double mutants.We found the expression levels of 940 lincRNAs (20%) out of the 4,634 lincRNAs with probes in array were significantly alerted in all mutants (P-value of eBays ANOVA < 0.05 & fold change of signal intensity > 2). This group included 525 up-regulated and 415 down-regulated lincRNAs. Seedlings(Col-0), Seedlings(se-2), Seedlings(cbp20,80 double mutant) x 3 biological replicates
