Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis- and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Developmental genes are controlled by several cis-acting regulatory elements (REs), which in turn respond to multiple trans-acting transcription factors (TFs). Understanding this regulatory complexity has remained a challenge. Here, we combine pooled CRISPR screens with different phenotypic readouts to dissect how a cis-regulatory landscape integrates information from a large number of TFs. We apply our approach to the murine X-inactivation center, which harbors the Xist gene. We identify a large set of Xist-controlling TFs and map their TF-RE wiring at the Xist locus. We show that a transiently expressed group of XX-biased TFs, which includes the X-linked factor ZIC3, control Xist’s promoter-proximal REs. These factors promote initial Xist upregulation in a binary fashion, potentially ensuring female-specific Xist expression. A second set of developmental TFs, which include the epiblast master regulator of the epiblast OTX2, are upregulated slightly later and activate distal REs associated with the lncRNA genes Jpx, Ftx and Xert. We show that this second regulatory axis is required to ensure sufficiently high Xist RNA levels for efficient establishment of X-chromosome inactivation. Our unbiased, systematic approach provides a framework for the comprehensive dissection of regulatory interactions across genomic loci.

Distal and proximal cis-regulatory elements sense X-dosage and developmental state at the Xist locus

Project description:Developmental genes such as Xist, the master regulator of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), are controlled by complex cis-regulatory landscapes, which decode multiple signals to establish specific spatio-temporal expression patterns. Xist integrates information on X-chromosomal dosage and developmental stage to trigger XCI at the primed pluripotent state in females only. Through a pooled CRISPR interference screen in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells, we identify functional enhancer elements of Xist during the onset of random XCI. By quantifying how enhancer activity is modulated by X-dosage and differentiation, we find that X-dosage controls the promoter-proximal region in a binary switch-like manner. By contrast, differentiation cues activate a series of distal elements and bring them into closer spatial proximity of the Xist promoter. The strongest distal element is part of an enhancer cluster ~200 kb upstream of the Xist gene which is associated with a previously unannotated Xist-enhancing regulatory transcript, we named Xert. Developmental cues and X-dosage are thus decoded by distinct regulatory regions, which cooperate to ensure female-specific Xist upregulation at the correct developmental time. Our study is the first step to disentangle how multiple, functionally distinct regulatory regions interact to generate complex expression patterns in mammals.

STARR-seq in 1.8 XX and XO mESCs during differentiation

Project description:Developmental genes are controlled by complex cis-regulatory landscapes that integrate multiple signals to ensure the correct spatio-temporal expression pattern. To investigate the underlying regulatory principles, we use the Xist locus as a model, which encodes the master regulator of X-chromosome inactivation. Xist is upregulated at the primed pluripotent state in a female-specific manner, thus integrating developmental cues and X-dosage information. It remains poorly understood how these signals are decoded by the ~800kb genomic region that controls Xist. While a series of repressive cis-regulatory elements have been identified, the distal enhancers that activate Xist transcription remain largely unknown. Here we use STARR-seq to profile enhancer activity within the X inactivation center at the onset of random X-chromosome inactivation.
