Project description:Comparative genomics has revealed the rapid lineage-specific expansion of multiple gene families involved in immunity, presumably due to the complexity of ensuring pathogen defense while maintaining self-tolerance. Paralogs within these gene families often evolved distinct roles in immunity. However, less is known about how the epigenome and cis-regulation of these gene families evolved. Here we focus on the epigenetic evolution of the rapidly evolving murine Ly49 gene family. Ly49 genes mainly encode either inhibitory or activating surface receptors in natural killer (NK) cells. Together, they fine-tune NK cell activation. We systemically mapped Ly49 transcription initiation, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation and 3D chromatin interactions. Our data revealed that each Ly49 gene forms a cis-regulatory unit consisted of one or more lowly accessible promoters and a proximal enhancer. Importantly, parallel to the functional divergence of the encoded proteins, inhibitory and activating Ly49 genes have evolved two separate sets of proximal enhancers, likely as a result of lineage-specific losses of enhancer activity. Finally, we show that some Ly49 genes can be cross-regulated by the enhancers of other Ly49 genes, suggesting that the Ly49 family have evolved a concerted regulatory mechanism. Collectively, we demonstrate the different modes of epigenetic evolution for a rapidly expanding gene family essential for host immunity, and provide a rich epigenetic dataset for NK cell research.

Project description:Nimblegen arrays were used to perform aCGH analysis on 2 mice strains, one which lacks the Ly49 gene cluster and the parent strain which still has the cluster. A targeted knock-out of the cluster resulted in the rearrangment and deletion of the cluster. The aCGH experiment was performed to elucidate the extent of the deletion. high resolution aCGH analysis of the Ly49 cluster in deletion strain

Project description:DNA methylation and nucleosome positioning work together to generate chromatin structures that regulate gene expression. Nucleosomes are typically mapped using nuclease digestion requiring significant amounts of material and varying enzyme concentrations. We have developed a method (NOMe-seq) that uses a GpC methyltransferase (M.CviPI) and next generation sequencing to generate a high resolution footprint of nucleosome positioning genome-wide using less than 1 million cells while retaining endogenous DNA methylation information from the same DNA strand. Using a novel bioinformatics pipeline we show a striking anti-correlation between nucleosome occupancy and DNA methylation at CTCF regions, that is not present at promoters. We further show that the extent of nucleosome depletion at promoters is directly correlated to expression level and can accommodate multiple nucleosomes and provide genome-wide evidence that expressed non-CpG island promoters are nucleosome depleted. Importantly, NOMe-seq obtains DNA methylation and nucleosome positioning information from the same DNA molecule, giving the first genome-wide DNA methylation and nucleosome positioning correlation at the single molecule and thus, single cell level that can be used to monitor disease progression and response to therapy.

Project description:In mammalian cells transcription factors (TFs) preferentially bind sites contained in regions of high nucleosomal occupancy, as determined by nucleotide-dependent computational analysis. This observation suggests that nucleosomes may act as gatekeepers of TF binding sites. We hypothesized that in mammalian genomes the information controlling nucleosome assembly may partially coincide with the information that enables TFs to recognize cognate sites in cis-regulatory elements while ignoring the myriad of non-functional, randomly occurring consensus binding sites. This way, nucleosome-mediated masking would be coupled to TF binding site functionality. The hematopoietic master regulator Pu.1 maintained nucleosome depletion at macrophage-specific enhancers that were otherwise occupied by nucleosomes in other cell types and in reconstituted chromatin. We identified a minimal set of DNA sequence and shape features that predicted Pu.1 binding with 78% accuracy. The same features predicted nucleosome occupancy in cells where Pu.1 was not expressed with higher accuracy than specifically designed models. Control of nucleosome deposition by DNA sequence and shape features that also specify TF consensus site functionality may allow maintaining the gatekeeper function of nucleosomes during evolution of cis-regulatory elements.
