Jpx RNA controls Xist induction through spatial reorganization of the mouse X-inactivation center [CHART-seq]

ABSTRACT: Known to regulate chromosome looping on a genome-wide scale, the noncoding Jpx RNA was originally shown to control X-chromosome counting and induce Xist expression during X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). Not fully understood is how Jpx upregulates Xist in coordination with Tsix downregulation in cis. Here, by integrating epigenomic data and polymer modeling in a mouse embryonic stem cell model, we demonstrate that Jpx controls architectural and transcriptional dynamics within anti- and pro-XCI zones of the X-inactivation center. Distinct topological changes occur on the future active (Xa) and inactive (Xi) chromosomes. Jpx binds the enhancer of Tsix on the future Xi and alters loop formation to favor Xist induction, coordinately releasing CTCF from Tsix and Xist in cis on the future Xi. Thus, by controlling a dynamic rewiring of functional loops, Jpx flips a transcriptional switch to control mutually exclusive Tsix and Xist expression in cis.

SPEN is required for Xist upregulation during initiation of X chromosome inactivation (ChIP-seq)

Project description:At initiation of X chromosome inactivation (XCI), Xist is monoallelically upregulated from the future inactive X (Xi) chromosome, overcoming repression by its antisense transcript Tsix. Xist recruits various chromatin remodelers, amongst them SPEN, which are involved in silencing of X-linked genes in cis and establishment of the Xi. Here, we show that SPEN plays an important role in the initiation of XCI. Spen null female mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are defective in Xist upregulation upon differentiation. We find that Xist-mediated SPEN recruitment to the Xi chromosome happens very early in XCI, and that SPEN-mediated silencing of the Tsix promoter is required for Xist upregulation. Accordingly, failed Xist upregulation in Spen-/- ESCs can be rescued by concomitant removal of Tsix. These findings indicate that SPEN is not only required for the establishment of the Xi, but is also crucial in the initiation of the XCI process.

ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments on female ESCs expressing V5-tagged REX1 and control wild-type Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)

Project description:Evolution of the mammalian sex chromosomes has resulted in a heterologous X and Y pair, where the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes. Hence, there is a need for X-linked gene dosage compensation between XY males and XX females. In placental mammals, this is achieved by random inactivation of one X chromosome (XCI) in all female somatic cells. Up-regulation of Xist transcription on the future inactive X chromosome (Xi) acts against Tsix antisense transcription, and spreading of Xist RNA in cis triggers epigenetic changes leading to XCI. Previously, we have shown that the X-encoded E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF12 is up-regulated in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and activates Xist transcription and XCI. Here, we have identified the pluripotency factor REX1 as a key target of RNF12 in the XCI mechanism. RNF12 causes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of REX1, and Rnf12 knockout mouse ESCs show an increased level of REX1. Using ChIP-seq, REX1 binding sites were detected in Xist and Tsix regulatory regions. Over-expression of REX1 in female ESCs was found to inhibit Xist transcription and XCI, whereas male Rex1+/- ESCs showed ectopic XCI. From this, we propose that RNF12 causes REX1 breakdown through dose-dependent catalysis, thereby representing an important pathway to initiate XCI. Rex1 and Xist are present only in placental mammals, which points to co-evolution of these two genes and XCI. 2 (one control one pulldown) samples

Species-specific regulation of XIST by the JPX/FTX orthologs

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a developmental regulatory process that initiates with remarkable diversity in various mammalian species. Here we addressed the contribution of XCI regulators, most of which are lncRNA genes (LRGs) characterized in the mouse, to this mechanistic diversity. By combining analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data from early human embryogenesis with various functional assays in pluripotent stem- and differentiated cells, we demonstrate that the function of Ftx is not conserved, while JPX stands a major regulator of XIST expression in human and in mouse. However, the underlying mechanisms differ radically between species and require Jpx RNA in the mouse and the act of transcription of the JPX locus in the human. Moreover, biogenesis of XIST is affected at different regulatory steps between these species. This study illustrates how diversification of LRG modus operanti during evolution provide opportunities for innovations within constrained gene regulatory networks.

High-resolution chromosomal maps of Xist RNA reveal a two-step spreading mechanism during X-inactivation

Project description:The Xist long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is essential for X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), the process by which mammals compensate for unequal numbers of sex chromosomes. During XCI, Xist coats the future inactive X (Xi) and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the X-inactivation center (Xic). Currently unclear is how Xist spreads silencing on a 150 Mb scale. Here we generate high-resolution maps of Xist binding across a developmental time course using CHART-seq. In female cells undergoing XCI de novo, Xist follows a two-step mechanism in which it initially targets gene-rich islands before spreading to intervening gene-poor domains. Xist is depleted from genes that escape XCI but frequently concentrates near escapee boundaries. Xist binding was linearly proportional to PRC2 density and H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), suggesting co-migration of Xist and PRC2. Interestingly, when the Xi is acutely stripped of Xist in post-XCI cells, Xist recovers quickly within both gene-rich and -poor domains on a time scale of hours instead of days, suggesting a previously primed Xi chromatin state. We conclude that Xist spreading takes on distinct stage-specific forms: During initial establishment, Xist follows a two-step mechanism, but during maintenance, Xist spreads rapidly to both gene-rich and -poor regions.

KDM6A facilitates Xist upregulation at the onset of X inactivation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a female-specific process in which one X chromosome is silenced to balance X-linked gene expression between the sexes. XCI is initiated in early development by upregulation of the lncRNA Xist on the future inactive X (Xi). A subset of X-linked genes escape silencing and thus have higher expression in females, suggesting female-specific functions. One of these genes is the highly conserved gene Kdm6a, which encodes a histone demethylase that removes methyl groups at H3K27 to facilitate gene expression. Here, we investigate the role of KDM6A in the regulation of Xist. We observed impaired upregulation of Xist during early stages of differentiation in hybrid mouse ES cells following CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of Kdm6a. This is associated with reduced Xist RNA coating of the Xi, suggesting diminished XCI potency. Indeed, Kdm6a knockout results in aberrant overexpression of genes from the Xi after differentiation. KDM6A binds to the Xist promoter and knockout cells show an increase in H3K27me3 at Xist. These results indicate that KDM6A plays a role in the initiation of XCI through histone demethylase-dependent activation of Xist during early differentiation.
