Dynamic nucleosome remodeling mediated by YY1 underlies early mouse development

ABSTRACT: Nucleosome positioning can alter the accessibility of DNA-binding proteins to their cognate DNA elements, and thus its precise control is essential for cell identity and function. Mammalian preimplantation embryos undergo temporal changes in gene expression and cell potency, suggesting the involvement of dynamic epigenetic control during this developmental phase. However, the dynamics of nucleosome organization during early development are poorly understood. In this study, using a low-input MNase-seq method, we show that nucleosome positioning is globally obscure in zygotes but becomes well defined during subsequent development. Downregulation of the chromatin assembly in embryonic stem cells can partially reverse nucleosome organization into a zygote-like pattern, suggesting that the chromatin assembly pathway might be linked to fuzzy nucleosomes in zygotes. We also reveal that YY1, a zinc finger containing transcription factor expressed upon zygotic genome activation, regulates the de novo formation of well-positioned nucleosome arrays at the regulatory elements, through identifying YY1-binding sites in 8-cell embryos. The YY1-binding regions acquire H3K27ac enrichment around the 8-cell and morula stages and YY1 depletion impairs the morula-to-blastocyst transition. Thus, our study delineates the remodeling of nucleosome organization and its underlying mechanism during early mouse development.

YY1-dependent transcriptional regulation manifests at the morula stage

Project description:YY1 plays multifaceted roles in various cell types. We recently reported that YY1 regulates nucleosome organization in early mouse embryos (Sakamoto et al. Genes Dev 2023). However, despite the impaired nucleosome organization in the absence of YY1, the transcriptome was minimally affected in eight-cell embryos. We then hypothesized that YY1 might prepare a chromatin environment to regulate gene expression at later stages. To test this possibility, we performed a transcriptome analysis at the morula stage. We found that a substantial number of genes are aberrantly expressed in the absence of YY1. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that YY1 is required for the transcription of retrotransposons in early embryos.

CTCF confers local nucleosome resiliency after DNA replication and during mitosis

Project description:The access of Transcription Factors (TFs) to their cognate DNA binding motifs requires a precise control over nucleosome positioning. This is especially important following DNA replication and during mitosis, both resulting in profound changes in nucleosome organization over TF binding regions. Using mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) cells, we show that the TF CTCF displaces nucleosomes from its binding site and locally organizes large and phased nucleosomal arrays, not only in interphase steady-state but also immediately after replication and during mitosis. While regions bound by other TFs, such as Oct4 and Sox2, display major rearrangement, the post-replication and mitotic nucleosome organization activity of CTCF is not likely to be unique: Esrrb binding regions are also characterized by persistent nucleosome positioning. Therefore, selected TFs such as CTCF and Esrrb act as resilient TFs governing the inheritance of nucleosome positioning at gene regulatory regions throughout the ES cell-cycle.

Dynamically reorganized chromatin is the key for the reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotent cells

Project description:We investigated genome-wide nucleosome coverage and histone methylation occupancies in somatic MEFs, intermediate pre-iPSCs and fully reprogrammed iPSCs. We found that nucleosome occupancies increased in promoter regions and decreased in intergenic regions in pre-iPSCs and then recover to an intermediate level in iPSCs. Nucleosomes in pre-iPSCs are much more phased than those in MEFs and iPSCs. Bivalent, active, repressive domains are cell type-specific and change dynamically during reprogramming. HCG and LCG promoters exhibit distinct nucleosome occupancy patterns and are dynamically marked by H3K4me3/H3K27me3 during reprogramming, correspondingly showing different gene activities. Surprisingly, Vitamin C promotes nucleosome reorganization from pre-iPSCs to iPSCs. CTCF binding sites change dynamically during reprogramming, though they share a conserved binding motif. Nucleosome occupies CTCF sites to a higher extent in pre-iPSCs than those in MEFs and iPSCs. Taken together, our study reveals that dynamic changes of nucleosome positioning and chromatin organization associated gene regulation during reprogramming. Examine dynamics of nucleosome positioning and histone modification profiles as well as gene expression regulation during somatic cell reprogramming

Nucleosome organization dynamics during fertilization reveals regulation factors of zygotic gene activation in mouse (MNase-seq)

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is essential for epigenome reprogramming after fertilization. However, the underlying mechanisms of chromatin remodeling remain to be explored. Here, we investigated the dynamic changes in nucleosome occupancy and positioning in pronucleus-stage zygotes using low-input MNase-seq. We observed distinct features of inheritance and reconstruction of nucleosome position in both male and female genomes. Genome-wide de novo nucleosome occupancy in the paternal genome was observed as early as 1 hour after the injection of sperm. The nucleosome positioning pattern was continually rebuilt to form nucleosome depletion regions (NDRs) at promoters and transcription factor (TF) binding sites. NDRs formed more quickly on the promoters of genes involved in zygotic genome activation (ZGA), and their formation is closely connected with histone acetylation, but not transcription elongation or DNA replication. Importantly, we found that NDR establishment on the binding motifs of specific TFs might be associated with their potential pioneer functions in ZGA. Further investigations suggested that the predicted factors MLX and RFX1 played important roles in regulating minor and major ZGA, respectively. Our data not only elucidate the nucleosome positioning dynamics in both male and female pronuclei following fertilization, but also provide an efficient method for identifying key transcription regulators during development.

Nucleosome plasticity during the cell cycle

Project description:Nucleosome organization and dynamics play a central role in controlling the DNA accessibility to regulatory factors of many critical cellular functions, especially gene regulation. However, despite extensive studies, the main factors determining nucleosome positioning and its fluctuation during cell cycle still remain elusive. Here, we present a large-scale study of nucleosome plasticity throughout the cell cycle and its interplay with gene expression based on genome-wide nucleosome positioning and mRNA abundance. We have clusterized distinct nucleosome architectures around transcription start sites and replication origins and studied their dynamics during the cell cycle progression. The most significant cell cycle-dependent changes occur at G1-S and G2-M transitions due to a large changes in gene expression in cell cycle regulatory genes. Taken together, our accurate study provides a dynamic picture of chromatin organization along cell cycle and its interplay with gene expression.

Chemical map of S. pombe reveals species-specific features in nucleosome positioning

Project description:Knowing the exact positions of nucleosomes not only advances our understanding of their role in gene regulation, but also the mechanisms that underlie between-species variation in chromatin structure. We have generated a chemical map of nucleosomes in vivo in Schizosaccharomyces pombe at base pair resolution. This new map reveals that S.pombe genome shares a similar periodic linker length distribution with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but with major distinctions in nucleosomal/linker DNA sequence features. In S.pombe, A/T rich sequences are enriched in the nucleosome core region, particularly +/-20 bp of dyad, while they are disfavored in S.cerevisiae nucleosomes. The poly (dA-dT) tracts only slightly affect the nucleosome occupancy in S.pombe; and they possess preferential rotational positions within the nucleosome core with significant enrichment in the 10-30 bp region from the dyad for longer tracts. S.pombe does not have well-defined nucleosome free region immediately upstream of most transcription start sites (TSS), instead the -1 nucleosome is positioned with regular distance to the +1 nucleosome, and its occupancy is negatively correlated with gene expression. The nucleosomes around TSS show more pronounced bidirectional phasing when the intergenic distance is relatively short, and the downstream nucleosome positioning is strongly correlated with DNA sequence features. We discovered that heterochromatin regions tend to have sparse nucleosome positioning, mixed with both well-positioned and fuzzy nucleosomes. The S.pombe map suggests that some of nucleosome positioning codes, formerly thought to be intrinsic, may largely depend on species-specific extrinsic factors including linker histone, chromatin remodelers and other DNA-binding proteins. 2 samples were analyzed with high throughput paired-end parallel sequencing. Both samples were created using the same chemical mapping protocol

Canonical Nucleosome Organization at Promoters Forms During Genome Activation

Project description:The organization of nucleosomes influences transcriptional activity by controlling accessibility of DNA binding proteins to the genome. Genome-wide nucleosome binding profiles have identified a canonical nucleosome organization at gene promoters, where arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes emanate from nucleosome-depleted regions. The mechanisms of formation and the function of canonical promoter nucleosome organization remain unclear. Here we analyze the genome-wide location of nucleosomes during zebrafish embryogenesis and show that well-positioned nucleosome arrays appear on thousands of promoters during the activation of the zygotic genome. The formation of canonical promoter nucleosome organization is independent of DNA sequence preference, transcriptional elongation, and robust RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binding. Instead, canonical promoter nucleosome organization correlates with the presence of Histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and affects future transcriptional activation. These findings reveal that genome activation is central to the organization of nucleosome arrays during early embryogenesis.
