Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription

ABSTRACT: After fertilization, early embryos undergo dissolution of conventional chromatin organization including topologically associating domains (TADs). Zygotic genome activation then commences amid unusually slow de novo establishment of three-dimensional chromatin architecture. How chromatin organization is established and how it interplays with transcription in early mammalian embryos remain elusive. Here we show that CTCF occupies chromatin throughout mouse early development. By contrast, cohesin poorly binds chromatin in one-cell embryos, coinciding with TAD dissolution. Cohesin binding then progressively increases from two- to eight-cell embryos, accompanying TAD establishment. Unexpectedly, strong ‘genic cohesin islands’ (GCIs) emerge across gene bodies of active genes in this period. GCI genes enrich for cell identity and regulatory genes, exhibit broad H3K4me3 at promoters, and display strong binding of transcription factors and the cohesin loader NIPBL at nearby enhancers. We show that transcription is hyperactive in two- to eight-cell embryos and is required for GCI formation. Conversely, induced transcription can also create GCIs. Finally, GCIs can function as insulation boundaries and form contact domains with nearby CTCF sites, promoting both the transcription levels and stability of GCI genes. These data reveal a hypertranscription state in early embryos that both shapes and is fostered by the three-dimensional genome organization, revealing an intimate interplay between chromatin structure and transcription.

RB is a cell cycle-regulated repressor of cohesin-dependent loop formation

Project description:Chromatin organization and cell cycle are tightly intertwined in eukaryotes, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated how the retinoblastoma protein (RB), a key cell cycle regulator, influences chromatin architecture. Chromosome conformation capture assays reveal that RB loss increases the number and size of cohesin-dependent loops and strengthens topologically associating domains (TADs). RB shows extensive colocalization with cohesin in the human genome, and it impacts cohesin’s distribution on chromatin. Active RB evicted cohesin from RB-bound TAD boundaries, repressed insulator activity, and enhanced the expression of non-E2F target genes that are important for cell adhesion. We conclude that RB has a central role in the interplay between cell cycle and chromatin organization. This role safeguards chromatin architecture and controls transcription.

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.

SCC1 interaction proteomics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:FACT mediates cohesin function on chromatin Cohesin is a key regulator of genome architecture with roles in sister chromatid cohesion and the organisation of higher-order structures during interphase and mitosis. The recruitment and mobility of cohesin complexes on DNA are restricted by nucleosomes. Here we show that cohesin role in chromosome organization requires the histone chaperone FACT. Depletion of FACT in metaphase cells affects cohesin stability on chromatin reducing its accumulation at pericentric regions and binding on chromosome arms. Using Hi-C, we show that cohesin-dependent TAD (Topological Associated Domains)-like structures in G1 and metaphase chromosomes are disrupted in the absence of FACT. Surprisingly, sister chromatid cohesion is intact in FACT-depleted cells, although chromosome segregation failure is observed. Our results uncover a role for FACT in genome organisation by facilitating cohesin dependent compartmentalization of chromosomes into loop domains.

SRF is a new player in 3D genome organization and stem cell pluripotency

Project description:Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor essential for cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, and is required for primitive streak and mesoderm formation in the embryo. The canonical roles of SRF are mediated by a diverse set of context-dependent cofactors. Here we show that SRF physically interacts with CTCF and cohesin subunits at TAD boundaries and loop anchors. SRF reinforces the insulation of TADs and promotes the formation of long-range chromatin loops. In ES cells, SRF associates with Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog and contributes to the formation of 3D pluripotency hubs. Our findings reveal new roles of SRF in higher-order chromatin organization.

FACT depletion demonstrates a role for nucleosome organization in TAD formation [1]

Project description:Mammalian genomes are organized into distinct chromatin structures, which include small-scale nucleosome arrays and large-scale topologically associating domains (TADs). The mechanistic interplay between chromatin structures across scales is poorly understood. Here, we investigate how changes in nucleosome architecture impact TAD organization by studying the role of the histone chaperone facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) in 3D genome organization. We show that FACT depletion perturbs TADs, causing decreased insulation and weaker CTCF loops. These changes in TAD structure cannot be attributed to changes in chromatin occupancy of CTCF or cohesin and occur specifically in transcribed regions of the genome where we observe perturbed nucleosome organization in absence of FACT. FACT depletion therefore allows us to separate the role of CTCF binding from nucleosome architecture and to demonstrate that the organization of nucleosomes at TAD boundaries directly contributes to TAD formation.

Chromatin architecture reorganization in somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos

Project description:The oocyte cytoplasm can reprogram somatic cell nucleus into a totipotent state but with low efficiency. The spatiotemporal chromatin organization of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos remains elusive. Here, we examined higher-order chromatin structures of mouse SCNT embryos using an optimized low-input Hi-C approach. We found that the donor cell chromatin transformed to metaphase state rapidly after injection along with the dissolution of typical 3D chromatin structures. Intriguingly, the donor cell genome underwent a transition from mitotic metaphase-like state to meiosis metaphase II-like state within one hour after activation. Subsequently, weak chromatin compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs) emerged at 6 hours after activation. Then TADs were gradually removed until the 2-cell stage and then progressively reestablished. We found that relative few distal (> 2 Mb) interactions were present in 2-cell stage SCNT embryos. Also, obvious differences in compartment and TAD organization between fertilization-derived and SCNT embryos were observed in early stages (2-8 cell stages). Many interactions between super-enhancers and promoters were not successfully established in SCNT embryos, and these interactions were further shown important for zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Moreover, we demonstrate that the aberrant chromatin architecture reorganization in SCNT embryos may be due to the persistent H3K9me3 and can be partially rescued by the Kdm4d overexpression. This study therefore provides novel insight into chromatin architecture reorganization during SCNT embryo development.

Multiomic analysis of Cohesin reveals that ZBTB transcription factors contribute to chromatin interactions

Project description:One bottleneck in understanding the principles of 3D chromatin structures is caused by the paucity of known regulators. Cohesin is essential for 3D chromatin organization, and its interacting partners are candidate regulators. Here, we performed proteomic profiling of the Cohesin in chromatin and identified transcription factors, RNA-binding proteins, and chromatin regulators associated with Cohesin. Acute protein degradation followed by time-series genomic binding quantitation and BAT Hi-C analysis were conducted, and the results showed that the transcription factor ZBTB21 contributes to Cohesin chromatin binding, 3D chromatin interactions and transcriptional repression. Strikingly, multiomic analyses revealed that the other four ZBTB factors interacted with Cohesin, and double degradation of ZBTB21 and ZBTB7B led to a further decrease in Cohesin chromatin occupancy. We propose that multiple ZBTB transcription factors orchestrate the chromatin binding of Cohesin to regulate chromatin interactions, and we provide a catalog of many additional proteins associated with Cohesin that warrant further investigation.
