RB modulates chromatin organization by regulating cohesin-dependent loops and enhancer-promoter interactions [HiChIP]

ABSTRACT: The retinoblastoma protein (RB) is a well-characterized repressor of E2F transcriptional activity that controls genes involved in cell proliferation during the G1-phase. Here, we examine the effect of RB on chromatin organization and uncover a non-canonical role for RB in which it promotes the removal of cohesin from insulators and thereby induces the expression of adjacent genes. We identify that RB colocalizes with cohesin across the human genome. During mitosis, RB facilitates the removal of cohesin from CTCF sites, with this effect persisting into early G1, impacting loop formation and extrusion at topologically associating domain (TAD) boundaries. Chromosome conformation capture assays revealed that RB reduces insulation at TAD boundaries and promotes enhancer-promoter interactions marked by histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation. In this way, RB enhances the transcription of hundreds of genes beyond the E2F transcriptional program, expanding our understanding of this key tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator.

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.

MAZ induces MYB expression during the exit from quiescence via the E2F site in the MYB promoter

Project description:Most E2F-binding sites repress transcription through the recruitment of Retinoblasoma (RB) family members until the end of the G1 cell-cycle phase. Although the MYB promoter contains an E2F-binding site, its transcription is activated shortly after the exit from quiescence, before RB family members inactivation, by unknown mechanisms. We had previously uncovered a nuclear factor distinct from E2F, Myb-sp, whose DNA-binding site overlapped the E2F element and had hypothesized that this factor might overcome the transcriptional repression of MYB by E2F-RB family members. We have purified Myb-sp and discovered that Myc-associated zinc finger proteins (MAZ) are major components. We show that various MAZ isoforms are present in Myb-sp and activate transcription via the MYB-E2F element. Moreover, while forced RB or p130 expression repressed the activity of a luciferase reporter driven by the MYB-E2F element, co-expression of MAZ proteins not only reverted repression, but also activated transcription. Finally, we show that MAZ binds the MYB promoter in vivo, that its binding site is critical for MYB transactivation, and that MAZ knockdown inhibits MYB expression during the exit from quiescence. Together, these data indicate that MAZ is essential to bypass MYB promoter repression by RB family members and to induce MYB expression.

Tissue-specific CTCF/Cohesin-mediated chromatin architecture delimits enhancer interactions and function in vivo (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The genome is organized via CTCF/cohesin binding sites, which partition chromosomes into 1-5Mb topologically associated domains (TADs), and further into smaller contact sub-domains within TADs (sub-TADs; 40-1000kb). Here we examined in vivo an ~80kb sub-TAD, containing the mouse α-globin gene cluster, lying within a ~1Mb TAD. We find that the sub-TAD is flanked by predominantly convergent CTCF/cohesin sites which are ubiquitously bound by CTCF but only interact during erythropoiesis, defining a self-interacting erythroid compartment. Whereas the α-globin regulatory elements normally act solely on promoters downstream of the enhancers, removal of a conserved upstream CTCF/cohesin boundary extends the sub-TAD to the adjacent upstream CTCF/cohesin binding site. The α-globin enhancers now interact with the flanking chromatin, upregulating expression of genes within this extended sub-TAD. Rather than acting solely as a barrier to chromatin modification, CTCF/cohesin boundaries in this sub-TAD regulate both directionality and specificity of enhancer interactions with surrounding promoters.
