Long-distance association of topological boundaries through nuclear condensates (Hi-C)

ABSTRACT: Chromatin is partitioned into distinct topological domains in an activity-dependent manner, with topological boundaries limiting the interaction between adjacent domains. Recent studies support the concept that several well-established nuclear compartments are assembled as ribonucleoprotein condensates. Here we ask whether the physical processes driving the assembly of the nuclear condensates play any role in three-dimensional chromatin architecture. We report that the insulation of approximately 20% of topological boundaries in human embryonic stem cells is substantially weakened following brief treatment with 1,6-hexanediol, a chemical known to disrupt several nuclear condensates. The disrupted boundaries are characterized by a high level of transcription, striking spatial clustering, and the augmented presence of transcription units widely expressed in diverse cell types. These topological boundary regions tend to be spatially associated, even inter-chromosomally, and segregate with nuclear speckles. These observations reveal a previously unappreciated mode of genome organization mediated by conserved boundary elements harboring widely-expressed transcription units and associated transcriptional condensates.

Induction of a chromatin boundary in vivo upon insertion of a TAD border (4C-Seq)

Project description:Mammalian genomes are partitioned into sub-megabase to megabase-sized units of preferential interactions called topologically associating domains or TADs, which are likely important for the proper implementation of gene regulatory processes. These domains provide structural scaffolds for distant cis regulatory elements to interact with their target genes within the three-dimensional nuclear space and architectural proteins such as CTCF as well as the cohesin complex participate in the formation of the boundaries between them. However, the importance of the genomic context in providing a given DNA sequence the capacity to act as a boundary element remains to be fully investigated. To address this question, we randomly relocated a topological boundary functionally associated with the mouse HoxD gene cluster and show that it can indeed act similarly outside its initial genomic context. In particular, the relocated DNA segment recruited the required architectural proteins and induced a significant depletion of contacts between genomic regions located across the integration site. The host chromatin landscape was re-organized, with the splitting of the TAD wherein the boundary had integrated. These results provide evidence that topological boundaries can function independently of their site of origin, under physiological conditions during mouse development.
