Project description:Animal genomes fold into contact domains defined by enhanced internal contact frequencies with debated functions in establishing independent gene regulatory domains. A large fraction of contact domains in mammals are formed by stalling of chromosomal loop-extruding cohesin by CTCF at domain boundaries. 90% of domain boundaries in Drosophila form CTCF-independently, and other proteins were proposed to form chromosomal loops with dual functions of segregating promoters from inappropriate regulatory elements and connecting distal regulatory elements to their correct targets. Here, we genetically ablate the ubiquitous boundary-associated factor Cp190 and assess impacts on genome folding and transcriptional regulation in embryos. Our results reveal that Cp190 is a major factor required for contact domain boundary formation and gene insulation in Drosophila.

Project description:We use in situ Hi-C to probe the three-dimensional architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types. The densest, in human lymphoblastoid cells, contains 4.9 billion contacts, achieving 1-kilobase resolution. We find that genomes are partitioned into local domains, which are associated with distinct patterns of histone marks and segregate into six subcompartments. We identify ~10,000 loops. These loops frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species. Loop anchors typically occur at domain boundaries and bind CTCF. CTCF sites at loop anchors occur predominantly (>90%) in a convergent orientation, with the asymmetric motifs ‘facing’ one another. The inactive X-chromosome splits into two massive domains and contains large loops anchored at CTCF-binding repeats. in situ Hi-C and dilution Hi-C were used to probe the three-dimensional structure of the genome in eight diverse human cell types and one mouse cell type

Project description:Insulators are DNA elements, which prevent inappropriate interactions between the neighboring regions of the genome. They can be functionally classified as either enhancer blockers or domain barriers. CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) is the only known major insulator binding protein in the vertebrates and has been shown to bind many enhancer-blocking elements. However, it is not clear whether it plays a role in chromatin domain barriers between active and repressive domains. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide binding sites of CTCF in three cell types and identified significant binding of CTCF to the boundaries of repressive chromatin domains marked by H3K27me3. Although we find an extensive overlapping of CTCF binding sites across the three cell types, its association with the domain boundaries is cell type-specific. We further show that the nucleosomes flanking CTCF binding sites are well positioned and associated with histone H2AK5 acetylation (H2AK5ac). Interestingly, we found a complementary pattern between the repressive H3K27me3 and the active H2AK5ac regions, which are separated by CTCF. Our findings indicate that CTCF may play important roles in the barrier activity of insulators and provide a resource for further investigation of the CTCF function in organizing chromatin in the human genome. Examination of the role of CTCF in chromatin domain barrier function In addition to the ChIP-seq analysis, two replicates of HeLa expression data were studied.

Project description:The DNA-binding protein CTCF and the cohesin complex function together to shape chromatin architecture in mammalian cells, but the molecular details of this process remain unclear. We demonstrate that a 79 amino acid region within the CTCF N-terminal domain but not the C-terminus is necessary for cohesin positioning at CTCF binding sites and chromatin loop formation. However, the N-terminus of CTCF, when fused to artificial zinc fingers that do not bind to CTCF DNA binding sites was not sufficient to redirect cohesin to different genomic locations, indicating that cohesin positioning by CTCF does not involve direct protein-protein interactions with cohesin subunits. BORIS (CTCFL), a germline-specific paralog of CTCF was unable to anchor cohesin to CTCF DNA binding sites. Furthermore, CTCF-BORIS Chimeric constructs provided evidence that both the first two CTCF zinc fingers and, likely, the 3D geometry of CTCF-DNA complexes are involved in cohesin retention. Moreover, we were able to convert BORIS into CTCF with respect to cohesin positioning, thus providing additional molecular details of the cohesin retention function of CTCF. Our data suggest that the N-terminus of CTCF and the 3D spatial conformation of the CTCF-DNA complex act as a roadblock to constrain cohesin movement along DNA.

Project description:Ctcf and cohesin are key players in the three dimensional organization of chromatin. Whereas genome-wide Ctcf binding has diverged substantially between species due to transposon-mediated motif expansions, demarcation of topologically associating domains (TADs) by Ctcf is remarkably well conserved. Yet, the Ctcf consensus motif poorly predicts TADs and the majority of Ctcf sites are not at TAD boundaries. Here we demonstrate that the ChAHP complex (Chd4, Adnp, HP1) competes with Ctcf for a common set of genomic binding sites. In absence of ChAHP, novel insulated regions are formed at ChAHP bound sites, whereas proximal canonical boundaries are weakened. These data reveal that Ctcf-mediated loop formation is modulated by a distinct zinc-finger protein complex. Strikingly, ChAHP bound loci are mainly situated within evolutionary young SINE B2 transposable elements. This further implicates ChAHP in maintenance of evolutionary conserved spatial chromatin organization by buffering novel Ctcf binding sites that emerged through SINE expansions.
