RepliSage: A Stochastic Graph-Based Framework for 3D Chromatin Modeling Across the Cell Cycle

ABSTRACT: Modeling DNA replication requires capturing the interplay of multiple biophysical processes and their effects on chromatin structure. We present RepliSage, a multi-scale framework that integrates three key factors: replication timing, loop extrusion, and compartmentalization. Replication forks act as moving barriers that reorganize chromatin during S phase by interfering with loop extrusion. Our approach combines: (1) fork propagation simulated from single-cell replication timing data, (2) Monte Carlo modeling of loop extrusion and epigenetic state transitions, and (3) 3D reconstruction using OpenMM, where loops are modeled as harmonic bonds and epigenetic states drive compartmental interactions. Chromatin is represented as a graph where both the links and the node states change over time. By adjusting model parameters across cell cycle phases, we reproduce known structural transitions and explore how replication stress alters genome organization. This is the first framework to dynamically integrate all three processes for simulating chromatin architecture during the cell cycle.

Heterochromatin diversity modulates genome compartmentalization and loop extrusion barriers [HiC]

Project description:Two dominant processes organizing chromosomes are loop extrusion and the compartmental segregation of active and inactive chromatin. The molecular players involved in loop extrusion during interphase, cohesin and CTCF, have been extensively studied and experimentally validated. However, neither the molecular determinants nor the functional roles of compartmentalization are well understood. Here, we distinguish three inactive chromatin states using contact frequency profiling, comprising two types of heterochromatin and a previously uncharacterized inactive state exhibiting a neutral interaction preference. We find that heterochromatin marked by long continuous stretches of H3K9me3, HP1α and HP1β correlates with a conserved signature of strong compartmentalization and is abundant in HCT116 colon cancer cells. We demonstrate that disruption of DNA methyltransferase activity dramatically remodels genome compartmentalization as a consequence of the loss of H3K9me3 and HP1 binding. Interestingly, H3K9me3-HP1α/β is replaced by the neutral inactive state and retains late replication timing. Furthermore, we show that H3K9me3-HP1α/β heterochromatin is permissive to loop extrusion by cohesin but refractory to CTCF, explaining a paucity of visible loop extrusion-associated patterns in Hi-C. Accordingly, CTCF loop extrusion barriers are reactivated upon loss of H3K9me3-HP1α/β, not as a result of canonical demethylation of the CTCF binding motif but due to an intrinsic resistance of H3K9me3-HP1α/β heterochromatin to CTCF binding. Together, our work reveals a dynamic structural and organizational diversity of the inactive portion of the genome and establishes new connections between the regulation of chromatin state and chromosome organization, including an interplay between DNA methylation, compartmentalization and loop extrusion.

De novo formation of cis-regulatory contacts in the absence of NIPBL-driven chromatin loop extrusion

Project description:NIPBL promotes chromatin loop extrusion by the cohesin complex until it stalls at convergently oriented CTCF sites, forming structural loops. In contrast, a large fraction of loops connecting cis-regulatory elements (CREs) can be maintained in the absence of cohesin. However, whether de novo establishment of CRE loops requires loop extrusion remains unclear. To address this question, we characterized the formation of structural and CRE loops during the mitosis-to-G1-phase transition in the absence of NIPBL. Structural loop formation was impaired proportionally to loop length. Computational modeling supports these observations, suggesting that NIPBL enhances cohesin extrusion beyond NIPBL’s known loading function. Importantly the majority of CRE loops, regardless of length, was established independently of loop extrusion. While globally gene activation showed little impairment, NIPBL loss delayed the formation of CRE loops involving weak enhancers. Collectively, our findings reveal that post-mitotic establishment of regulatory contacts and gene transcription can occur independently of chromatin loop extrusion.

Rif1 regulates the replication timing domains on the human genome

Project description:DNA replication is spatially and temporally regulated during S-phase. DNA replication timing is established in early G1-phase at a point referred to as TDP (timing decision point). We show that Rif1 (Rap1-interacting-factor1), originally identified as a telomere binding factor in yeast, is a critical determinant of the replication timing program in human cells. Depletion of Rif1 results in specific loss of mid-S replication foci profiles, stimulation of initiation events in early S-phase and changes in long-range replication timing domain structures. Overall replication timing is shifted toward mid-S in both directions, suggesting that replication timing regulation is abrogated in the absence of Rif1. Rif1 tightly binds to nuclear insoluble structures at late-M to early-G1 and regulates the chromatin-loop sizes. Furthermore, Rif1 colocalizes specifically with the mid-S replication foci. Thus, Rif1 establishes the mid-S replication domains that are restrained from being activated at early S-phase. Our results indicate that Rif1 plays crucial roles in determining the replication timing domain structures through regulating higher-order chromatin architecture.

Cohesin-dependent chromosome loop extrusion is limited by transcription and stalled replication forks [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Genome function depends on regulated chromosome folding, and loop extrusion by the protein complex cohesin is essential for this multilayered organization. The chromosomal positioning of cohesin is controlled by transcription, and the complex also localizes to stalled replication forks. However, the role of transcription and replication in chromosome looping remains unclear. Here, we show that reduction of chromosome-bound RNA polymerase weakens normal cohesin loop extrusion boundaries, allowing cohesin to form new long-range chromosome cis interactions. Stress response genes activated by transcription inhibition are also shown to act as new loop extrusion boundaries. Furthermore, cohesin loop extrusion during early S-phase is jointly controlled by transcription and replication units. Together, the results reveal that replication and transcription machineries are chromosome folding regulators that block the progression of loop-extruding cohesin, opening for new perspectives on cohesin’s roles in genome function and stability.
