Cis-regulatory chromatin contacts form de novo in the absence of loop extrusion

ABSTRACT: NIPBL promotes chromatin loop extrusion by the cohesin complex until it stalls at convergently oriented CTCF sites, forming structural loops. In contrast, a large fraction of loops connecting cis-regulatory elements (CREs) can be maintained in the absence of cohesin. However, whether de novo establishment of CRE loops requires loop extrusion remains unclear. To address this question, we characterized the formation of structural and CRE loops during the mitosis-to-G1-phase transition in the absence of NIPBL. Structural loop formation was impaired proportionally to loop length. Computational modeling supports these observations, suggesting that NIPBL enhances cohesin extrusion beyond NIPBL’s known loading function. Importantly the majority of CRE loops, regardless of length, was established independently of loop extrusion. While globally gene activation showed little impairment, NIPBL loss delayed the formation of CRE loops involving weak enhancers. Collectively, our findings reveal that post-mitotic establishment of regulatory contacts and gene transcription can occur independently of chromatin loop extrusion.

Response of cohesin STAG1 and STAG2 to reduction of NIPBL levels [Hi-C]

Project description:Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion and organizes the genome through the formation of chromatin loops. Two versions of the complex carrying either STAG1 or STAG2 show overlapping and specific functions and both are required to fulfill embryonic development. Cohesin-STAG1 displays longer residence time on chromatin that depends on CTCF and ESCO1 and establishes longer, long-lived chromatin loops together with CTCF. Cohesin-STAG2 shows a preferential interaction with WAPL and mediates shorter loops involved in tissue-specific transcription independently of CTCF. Here we show that the two variants respond in opposite ways to knock down of NIPBL, the putative cohesin loader that is also essential for loop extrusion. Cohesin-STAG1 levels increase on chromatin under this condition and the complex accumulates further at CTCF positions while cohesin-STAG2 is diminished genome-wide. Our data support a model in which NIPBL is not required for association of cohesin with chromatin but it is for loop extrusion, which in turn facilitates stabilization of cohesin-STAG2 at CTCF positions after being loaded elsewhere. In contrast, cohesin-STAG1 is preferentially loaded at CTCF sites independently of NIPBL. Nevertheless, loop formation by these chromatin-bound complexes is impaired and gene expression is severely affected, resembling alterations in Cornelia de Lange patients

Cohesin chromatin loop formation by an extrinsic motor (Micro-C)

Project description:The ring-shaped cohesin complex topologically entraps two DNAs to establish sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesin also shapes the interphase chromatin landscape, with wide-ranging implications for gene regulation, which cohesin is thought to achieve by actively extruding DNA loops without topologically entrapping DNA. The ‘loop extrusion’ model find motivation from in vitro observations - whether this process indeed underlies chromatin loop formation in vivo remains untested. Here, using the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, we generate cohesin variants that have lost their ability to extrude DNA loops but retain their ability to topologically entrap DNA. Analysis of these variants suggests that in vivo chromatin loops form independently of loop extrusion. Instead, we find that transcription promotes loop formation, likely by generating DNA substrates for topological loop capture. Transcription furthermore acts as an extrinsic motor that, by pushing cohesin along transcription units, extends chromatin loops and defines their ultimate positions. Our results necessitate a re-evaluation of the loop extrusion hypothesis and point to an alternative mechanism for cohesin-dependent chromatin organisation. Loop formation by DNA-DNA capture, akin to sister chromatid cohesion establishment at replication forks, unifies cohesin’s two roles in chromosome segregation and interphase genome organisation.

Genome-wide in vivo dynamics of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and its role in transcription activation [SLAM-seq]

Project description:The organization of the genome in three-dimensional space is highly dynamic, yet how these dynamics are regulated and the role they play in genome function is poorly understood. Here, we utilized acute depletion of NIPBL to characterize the role of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in vivo. Using this approach, we find that many chromatin loops are rapidly diminished upon loss of NIBPL, consistent with recent single locus imaging studies showing that chromatin loops are transient. However, we also identified a subset of cohesin-dependent chromatin loops that are anchored in repressive chromatin and may be “long-lived”, given that they require NIPBL for their establishment upon mitotic exit, but are persistent when NIPBL is depleted from interphase cells. In addition to the reformation of 3D genome structures, mitotic exit coincides with widespread transcriptional activation. We found that NIPBL is essential for establishing the expression of lineage-defining genes during the M-G1 transition but has diminished impact in the steady-state maintenance of their expression. At genes sensitive to its depletion, NIPBL supports a unique local genome organization defined by greater spatial proximity to nearby enhancers and weaker transcription start site insulation of genomic contacts. Overall, we show that NIPBL-mediated loop extrusion is critical to genome organization and transcriptional regulation in vivo.

ChIP-seq to measure binding of NIPBL/MAU2, RAD21, and CTCF in mouse embryonic stem cells and neural progenitor cells

Project description:Mammalian chromosomes are folded by the cohesin complex, which creates chromatin loops that are extruded as cohesin translocates along the chromatin fiber. This dynamic process regulates gene expression by controlling the frequency of contacts between enhancers and promoters. We analyzed where in the genome loop extrusion occurs to discover where extrusion initiates and whether particular regions are extruded more than others. We measured NIPBL/MAU2 binding in mouse embryonic stem cells and neural progenitor cells, and found that NIPBL/MAU2 is enriched at enhancers compared to promoters. We used the amount of cohesin binding at CTCF sites as a readout of cohesin traffic, and found that the NIPBL/MAU2 binding sites only modestly boost nearby cohesin levels.

The cellular balance of NIPBL and PDS5 tunes the rate of cohesin loop extrusion and shapes chromosome organization across scales [HiC]

Project description:Cohesin loop extrusion has emerged as a major contributor to chromosome folding, enabling essential genomic functions from transcriptional regulation to DNA recombination and repair. Despite its requirement for extrusion, the co-factor NIPBL binds cohesin only intermittently. By combining in vivo experimental and in silico modeling approaches, we discovered that limiting NIPBL abundance causes chromosome folding defects that are best explained by reduced extrusion rates. Reduced extrusion rates, but not reduced loading, can counteract an increase in cohesin lifetime brought on by WAPL depletion. Depleting the NIPBL competitors PDS5A and PDS5B increases extrusion rates, in a way that can be shunted by NIPBL-co-depletion. Finally, we observed that extrusion rate and cohesin lifetime, although equally contributing to cohesin processivity, differentially impact genomic compartmentalization. In addition to shedding light on unappreciated roles of NIPBL beyond cohesin loading, in regulating the rate of cohesin loop extrusion, our work provides an experimentally calibrated computational framework to investigate the molecular mechanisms edifying genome architecture and function.
