Loop extrusion by cohesin plays a role in enhancer-activated gene expression early in differentiation (ChIP-Seq, Rad21 and Stag2)

ABSTRACT: Enhancers and their target promoters often come into close physical proximity when activated. This may be explained by a variety of mechanisms, including cohesin-mediated chromatin loop extrusion. However, acute depletion of cohesin does not cause widespread changes in gene expression. We have tested the role of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in gene expression at the mouse alpha-globin locus during erythropoiesis. Acute depletion of cohesin disrupts alpha-globin expression at early but not late stages of differentiation. Furthermore, when single or multiple CTCF sites, known to block cohesin, are placed between the alpha-globin enhancers and promoters, alpha-gene expression is disrupted. Importantly, the CTCF site’s orientation is critical, suggesting that within this activated domain, in definitive erythroid cells cohesin predominantly but not exclusively, translocates from the enhancers to the promoters. We find that loop extrusion does play an important role in establishing enhancer-promoter proximity and consequent expression of inducible genes during differentiation.

Tissue-specific CTCF/Cohesin-mediated chromatin architecture delimits enhancer interactions and function in vivo (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The genome is organized via CTCF/cohesin binding sites, which partition chromosomes into 1-5Mb topologically associated domains (TADs), and further into smaller contact sub-domains within TADs (sub-TADs; 40-1000kb). Here we examined in vivo an ~80kb sub-TAD, containing the mouse α-globin gene cluster, lying within a ~1Mb TAD. We find that the sub-TAD is flanked by predominantly convergent CTCF/cohesin sites which are ubiquitously bound by CTCF but only interact during erythropoiesis, defining a self-interacting erythroid compartment. Whereas the α-globin regulatory elements normally act solely on promoters downstream of the enhancers, removal of a conserved upstream CTCF/cohesin boundary extends the sub-TAD to the adjacent upstream CTCF/cohesin binding site. The α-globin enhancers now interact with the flanking chromatin, upregulating expression of genes within this extended sub-TAD. Rather than acting solely as a barrier to chromatin modification, CTCF/cohesin boundaries in this sub-TAD regulate both directionality and specificity of enhancer interactions with surrounding promoters.

CTCF couples long-range loop extrusion and diffusion to mediate a diverse Igk repertoire

Project description:Dynamic genome folding is important for V(D)J recombination at the immunoglobulin kappa (Igk) locus, which recombines Jk and Vk gene segments across a 3.2 Mb region in both deletional and inversional orientations. Chromatin loop extrusion and diffusion are considered two key mechanisms underlying Igk folding, but how they coordinate remains unclear. Here we show that CTCF is a key regulator coupling loop extrusion and diffusion during Igk V-J rearrangement, promoting recombination in both orientations across long genomic distances. Mechanistically, the CTCF N-terminus promotes long-range loop extrusion that facilitates distal Vk usage by stabilizing cohesin against WAPL release, and also forms loop barriers enabling chromatin diffusion for inversional Vk joining. In CTCF N-terminal-deficient B cells, defects in inversional Vk joining are not restored by WAPL depletion but are instead largely rescued by a dCas9-blockade targeted to the Vk-Jk intergenic region, mimicking the CTCF barrier. Our findings thus highlight how CTCF coordinates distinct genome-folding mechanisms through its dual roles in cohesin stabilization and extrusion barrier formation to ensure the generation of a diverse Igk repertoire.

A functional overlap between actively transcribed genes and insulator elements [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Mammalian genomes are subdivided into large (50-2000 kb) regions of chromatin referred to as Topologically Associating Domains (TADs or sub-TADs). Chromatin within an individual TAD contacts itself more frequently than with regions in surrounding TADs thereby directing enhancer-promoter interactions. In many cases, the borders of TADs are defined by convergently orientated boundary elements associated with CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), which stabilises the cohesin complex on chromatin and prevents its translocation. This delimits chromatin loop extrusion which is thought to underlie the formation of TADs. However, not all CTCF-bound sites act as boundaries and, importantly, not all TADs are flanked by convergent CTCF sites. Here, we examined the CTCF binding sites within a ~70 kb sub-TAD containing the duplicated mouse α-like globin genes and their five enhancers (5’-R1-R2-R3-Rm-R4-α1-α2-3’). The 5’ border of this sub-TAD is defined by a pair of CTCF sites. Surprisingly, we show that deletion of the CTCF binding sites within and downstream of the α-globin locus leaves the sub-TAD largely intact. The predominant 3’ border of the sub-TAD is defined by a steep reduction in contacts: this corresponds to the transcribed α2-globin gene rather than the CTCF sites at the 3’-end of the sub-TAD. Insertion of actively transcribed fragments of the α-globin gene between the enhancers and native genes leads to a reduction in native α-globin expression and accumilation of cohesin at the insertion site. Together, these observations provide direct evidence that actively transcribed genes can behave as insulator elements.
