Post-mitotic transcriptional activation and 3D regulatory interactions show locus- and differentiation-specific sensitivity to cohesin depletion [Micro-C]

ABSTRACT: Structural loops are known to collapse in the absence of cohesin, whereas regulatory loops largely persist with only minor transcriptional changes, leaving unresolved questions about cohesin’s role in establishing regulatory interactions during cell state transitions. To investigate this, we degraded RAD21, a core cohesin subunit, in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transitioning from mitosis to G1 under self-renewal or differentiation conditions. We performed Micro-C to map changes in 3D chromatin architecture in ESCs upon RAD21 depletion and p300/CBP inhibition.

Post-mitotic transcriptional activation and 3D regulatory interactions show locus- and differentiation-specific sensitivity to cohesin depletion [ChIP-exo]

Project description:Structural loops are known to collapse in the absence of cohesin, whereas regulatory loops largely persist with only minor transcriptional changes, leaving unresolved questions about cohesin’s role in establishing regulatory interactions during cell state transitions. To investigate this, we degraded RAD21, a core cohesin subunit, in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transitioning from mitosis to G1 under self-renewal or differentiation conditions. We performed ChIP-exo for H3K4me3 to map marked regions and for CTCF and RAD21 to map binding regions in ESCs.

Post-mitotic transcriptional activation and 3D regulatory interactions show locus- and differentiation-specific sensitivity to cohesin depletion [4C-seq]

Project description:Structural loops are known to collapse in the absence of cohesin, whereas regulatory loops largely persist with only minor transcriptional changes, leaving unresolved questions about cohesin’s role in establishing regulatory interactions during cell state transitions. To investigate this, we degraded RAD21, a core cohesin subunit, in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transitioning from mitosis to G1 under self-renewal or differentiation conditions. We performed high-resolution in situ 4C-seq around the promoters of cohesin-sensitive genes (Klf4, Tbx3, Myc, and Fosl2) in ESCs and EpiLCs.

The cohesin acetylation cycle controls chromatin loop length through a PDS5A brake mechanism

Project description:Cohesin structures the genome through the formation of chromatin loops and by holding together the sister chromatids. The acetylation of cohesin’s SMC3 subunit is a dynamic process that involves the acetyltransferase ESCO1 and deacetylase HDAC8. Here we show that this cohesin acetylation cycle controls the 3D genome. ESCO1 restricts the length of chromatin loops and architectural stripes, while HDAC8 promotes the extension of such loops and stripes. This role in controlling loop length turns out to be distinct from the canonical role of cohesin acetylation that protects against WAPL-mediated DNA release. We reveal that acetylation rather controls cohesin’s interaction with PDS5A to restrict chromatin loop length. Our data supports a model in which this PDS5A-bound state acts as a brake that enables the pausing and restart of loop enlargement. The cohesin acetylation cycle hereby provides punctuation in the process of genome folding.

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.

Unraveling the cohesin-chromatin interface: identifying protein interactions that modulate chromosome structure and function [Micro-C]

Project description:Cohesin is a plieotropic regulator of genom structure and function with several known interactors that aid in regulation of genome organization. A comprehensive cohesin interactome has yet to be established, and we identify several chromatin regulating complexes that interact with the cohesin complex, including the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. SWI/SNF and cohesin co-localize to enhancers, promoters, and CTCF binding sites as deteremined by overlapping ChIP-seq data from mESCs for the cohesin subunit RAD21 and the SWI/SNF subunit BRG1, CTCF, H3K27ac, and H3K4me3. To assessthe functional implications of the cohesin-SWI/SNF interaction we treated mESCs with one of three small molecule drugs targeting the BRG1 subunit of SWI/SNF (ACBI1, PFI-3, BRM014) for either degradation of the complex or perturbation of SWI/SNF function, then performed ChIP-seq for the RAD21 subunit of cohesin. Differential RAD21 peaks in cells treated with a small molecule compared to DMSO control were assessed for overlap with DNA loops (Micro-C).

Cohesin supercoils DNA during loop extrusion

Project description:Cohesin extrudes genomic DNA into loops that promote chromatin assembly, gene regulation and recombination. Loop extrusion depends on large-scale conformational changes in cohesin, but how these translocate DNA is poorly understood. Here we provide evidence that cohesin negatively supercoils DNA loops during extrusion. Supercoiling requires engagement of cohesin’s ATPase heads, DNA clamping by these heads, and a DNA binding site on cohesin’s hinge, indicating that cohesin twists DNA when constraining it between the hinge and the clamp. A cohesin mutant defective in negative supercoiling forms shorter loops in cells, and a similar, although weaker, phenotype is observed after depletion of topoisomerase I. These results suggest that supercoiling is an integral part of the loop extrusion mechanism and that relaxation of supercoiled DNA is required for cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and genome architecture.

Cohesin mediates DNA loop extrusion and sister chromatid cohesion by distinct mechanisms [Hi-C]

Project description:Cohesin connects CTCF binding sites and other genomic loci in cis to form chromatin loops, and replicated DNA molecules in trans to mediate sister chromatid cohesion. Whether cohesin uses distinct or related mechanisms to perform these functions is unknown. Here we describe a cohesin hinge mutant, which can extrude DNA into loops but is unable to mediate cohesion. Our results suggest that the latter defect arises during cohesion establishment. The observation that cohesin’s cohesion and loop extrusion activities can be separated indicates that cohesin uses distinct mechanisms to perform these two functions. Unexpectedly, the same hinge mutant can also not be stopped by CTCF boundaries as well as wildtype cohesin. This suggests that cohesion establishment and cohesin’s interaction with CTCF boundaries depend on related mechanisms and raises the possibility that both require transient hinge opening to entrap DNA inside the cohesin ring.
