A Split Luciferase Biosensing Platform for Detection and Imaging of Chromatin Loops in Individual Live Cells

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic cells regulate higher-order chromatin architecture, gene expression, and gene recombination via compaction of the genome into chromatin loops and topologically associating domains (TADs). While chromatin architecture has been thoroughly characterized for many eukaryotic genomes using cell-destructive techniques such as 3C-based methods, live-cell biosensing tools that can probe three-dimensional chromatin contacts in real-time are lacking. Using a dual dCas9 DNA biosensor based on a split NanoLuc luciferase reporter, we directly detected chromatin loops in live cells using luminescence quantification in a luminometer. We were able to see signal above background ratios of up to 10-fold. In addition, we directly visualized chromatin looping at the MYC TAD in live cells using high-resolution, low light live-cell imaging. Our biosensing platform therefore provides a useful methodology for live-cell, real-time detection of known or novel loops and for monitoring looping dynamics upon alterations in cell state.

A WIZ/Cohesin/CTCF complex anchors DNA loops to define gene expression and cell identity [Hi-C]

Project description:Purpose: Chromatin architecture is an important regulator of gene expression, but details of how DNA loops form and function remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of Widely Interspaced Zinc-fingers protein (WIZ) in gene regulation and DNA looping. Method: Genome wide chromatin looping patterns in the presence or absence of WIZ were assessed via Hi-C in both wildtype and CRISPR-Cas9 genome edited WIZ deletion mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).

Genome-wide evaluation of altered chromatin looping in the post-stroke mouse cortex using Hi-C chromatin conformation capture

Project description:Recent advances in high-throughput transcriptomics have revealed extensive gene expression changes during cerebral ischemia. However, the changes in 3D chromatin architecture and long-range chromatin looping between genes and distal regulatory elements that drive these gene expression changes remain virtually unexplored. In this study, we mapped the landscape of altered 3D chromatin looping the in the ischemic cortex and evaluated its contributions to post-stroke transcriptional changes. We used genome-wide chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) to profile changes in the 3D chromatin architecture in the cerebral cortex of adult mice following a 1 h middle cerebral artery occlusion and 6 h of reperfusion, or sham surgery. We identified a total of 15,592 loops in the stroke group with a mean enrichment core of 6.108, and these included 1973 promoter-promoter contacts, 7857 enhancer-enhancer contacts, and 5762 enhancer-promoter contacts. In the sham group, there were 14,779 chromatin loops with a mean enrichment score of 5.473, including 1714 promoter-promoter contacts, 8597 enhancer-enhancer contacts, and 4468 enhancer-promoter contacts. Together, our study represents the first genome-wide evaluation of 3D chromatin looping following stroke.

A Central Role for PRC1 in Shaping the 3D Nuclear Landscape

Project description:1. Loss of RING1B substantially disrupts nuclear architecture. 2. PRC1 mediated looping can occur at a Mb scale and is independent of CTCF. 3. Polycomb mediated looping is driven by canonical PRC1 complexes. 4. Trimeric PRC1-mediated interactions occur in vitro and in vivo. 5. Gene up-regulation does not directly lead to the loss of PRC1 loops.

CRISPR Inversion of CTCF Sites Alters Genome Topology and Enhancer/Promoter Function

Project description:CTCF/cohesin play a central role in insulator function and higher-order chromatin organization of mammalian genomes. Recent studies identified a correlation between the orientation of CTCF-binding sites (CBSs) and chromatin loops. To test the functional significance of this observation, we combined CRISPR/Cas9-based genomic-DNA-fragment editing with chromosome-conformation-capture experiments to show that the location and relative orientations of CBSs determine the specificity of long-range chromatin looping in mammalian genomes, using protocadherin (Pcdh) and β-globin as model genes. Inversion of CBS elements within the Pcdh enhancer reconfigures the topology of chromatin loops between the distal enhancer and target promoters, and alters gene-expression patterns. Thus, although enhancers can function in an orientation-independent manner in reporter assays, in the native chromosome context the orientation of at least some enhancers carrying CBSs can determine both the architecture of topological chromatin domains and enhancer/promoter specificity. The findings reveal how 3D chromosome architecture can be encoded by genome sequence.

Polycomb-Dependent Chromatin Looping Contributes to Gene Silencing during Drosophila Development

Project description:Interphase chromatin is organized into topologically associating domains (TADs). Within TADs, chromatin looping interactions are formed between DNA regulatory elements, but their functional importance for the establishment of the 3D genome organization and gene regulation during development is unclear. Using high-resolution Hi-C experiments, we analyze higher order 3D chromatin organization during Drosophila embryogenesis and identify active and repressive chromatin loops that are established with different kinetics and depend on distinct factors: Zelda-dependent active loops are formed before the midblastula transition between transcribed genes over long distances. Repressive loops within polycomb domains are formed after the midblastula transition between polycomb response elements by the action of GAGA factor and polycomb proteins. Perturbation of PRE function by CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering affects polycomb domain formation and destabilizes polycomb-mediated silencing. Preventing loop formation without removal of polycomb components also decreases silencing efficiency, suggesting that chromatin architecture can play instructive roles in gene regulation during development.

The cohesin release factor WAPL restricts chromatin loop extension. [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The spatial organization of chromosomes influences many nuclear processes including gene expression. The cohesin complex shapes the 3D genome by looping together CTCF sites along chromosomes. We show here that chromatin loop size can be increased, and that the duration with which cohesin embraces DNA determines the degree to which loops are enlarged. Cohesin’s DNA release factor WAPL restricts the degree of this loop extension and also prevents looping between incorrectly oriented CTCF sites. We reveal that the SCC2/SCC4 complex promotes the extension of chromatin loops and the formation of topologically associated domains (TADs). Our data support the model that cohesin structures chromosomes through the processive enlargement of loops and that TADs reflect polyclonal collections of loops in the making. Finally, we find that whereas cohesin promotes chromosomal looping, it rather limits nuclear compartmentalization. We conclude that the balanced activity of SCC2/SCC4 and WAPL enables cohesin to correctly structure chromosomes.
