Transcription rate and transcript length drive the formation of chromosomal interaction domain

ABSTRACT: Chromosomes in all organisms are highly organized and divided into multiple chromosomal interaction domains, or topological domains. Regions of active, high transcription help establish and maintain domain boundaries, but precisely how this occurs remains unclear. Here, using fluorescence microscopy and chromosome conformation capture in conjunction with deep sequencing (Hi-C), we show that in Caulobacter crescentus both transcription rate and transcript length, independent of concurrent translation, drive the formation of domain boundaries. We find that long, highly expressed genes do not form topological boundaries simply through the inhibition of supercoil diffusion. Instead, our results support a model in which long, active regions of transcription drive local decompaction of the chromosome, with these more open regions of the chromosome forming spatial gaps in vivo that diminish contacts between DNA in neighboring domains. These insights into the molecular forces responsible for domain formation in Caulobacter likely generalize to other bacteria and possibly eukaryotes.

High-resolution mapping of the spatial organization of Caulobacter crescentus chromosome by chromosome conformation capture in conjunction with next-generation sequencing (Hi-C)

Project description:Chromosomes must be highly compacted and organized within cells, but how this is achieved in vivo remains poorly understood. We report the first use of Hi-C to map the structure of bacterial chromosomes at a high, unprecedented resolution. Analysis of Hi-C data and polymer modeling indicates that the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome consists of multiple, largely independent spatial domains likely comprised of supercoiled plectonemes arrayed into a bottlebrush-like fiber. These domains are stable throughout the cell cycle and re-established concomitantly with DNA replication. We provide strong evidence that domain boundaries are established by highly-expressed genes and the formation of plectoneme-free regions. Additionally, we use Hi-C to demonstrate that supercoiling, the histone-like protein HU, and SMC act at different length-scales and in complementary ways to organize and structure chromosomes within cells. Hi-C experiments were performed on untreated wild type swarmer cells and drug-treated swarmer cells (Novobiocin or Rifampicin) of Caulobacter crescentus CB15N. Hi-C were also performed on swarmer cells of smc knock-out and hup1hup2 knock-out mutants of Caulobacter crescentus. Time-course Hi-C were performed on a synchronous population of Caulobacter crescentus at 5, 10, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes after synchronization. The progression of DNA replication during the cell cycle was followed by total genomic DNA sequencing.

Regions of very low H3K27me3 partition the Drosophila genome into topological domains [HiC-seq]

Project description:We have investigated boundaries of topologically associated domains (TADs) in the Drosophila genome and find that they can be identified as domains of very low H3K27me3. The genome-wide H3K27me3 profile partitions into two states; very low H3K27me3 identifies Depleted (D) domains that contain housekeeping genes and their regulators such as the histone acetyltransferase-containing NSL complex, whereas domains containing mid-to-high levels of H3K27me3 (Enriched or E domains) are associated with regulated genes, irrespective of whether they are active or inactive. The D domains correlate with the boundaries of TADs and are enriched in a subset of architectural proteins, particularly Chromator, BEAF-32, and Z4. However, rather than being clustered at the borders of these domains, these proteins bind throughout the H3K27me3-depleted regions and are much more strongly associated with the TSSs of the housekeeping genes than with the H3K27me3 domain boundaries. We suggest that the D domain chromatin state, characterised by very low H3K27me3 and established by housekeeping gene regulators, acts to separate topological domains thereby setting up the domain architecture of the genome.

Long-distance association of topological boundaries through nuclear condensates (GRO-Seq)

Project description:Chromatin is partitioned into distinct topological domains in an activity-dependent manner, with topological boundaries limiting the interaction between adjacent domains. Recent studies support the concept that several well-established nuclear compartments are assembled as ribonucleoprotein condensates. Here we ask whether the physical processes driving the assembly of the nuclear condensates play any role in three-dimensional chromatin architecture. We report that the insulation of approximately 20% of topological boundaries in human embryonic stem cells is substantially weakened following brief treatment with 1,6-hexanediol, a chemical known to disrupt several nuclear condensates. The disrupted boundaries are characterized by a high level of transcription, striking spatial clustering, and the augmented presence of transcription units widely expressed in diverse cell types. These topological boundary regions tend to be spatially associated, even inter-chromosomally, and segregate with nuclear speckles. These observations reveal a previously unappreciated mode of genome organization mediated by conserved boundary elements harboring widely-expressed transcription units and associated transcriptional condensates.

In vitro reconstitution of chromatin domains (Micro-C)

Project description:A key step towards defining the structure-function relationship of the genome is to identify the molecular mechanisms that drive higher-order genome folding. To this end, we reconstituted five S. cerevisiae chromosomes in vitro and developed a high-resolution MNase-based chromosome conformation capture assay to measure their 3D organization. We show that the formation of regularly spaced and phased nucleosome arrays is sufficient to drive higher-order genome folding into domains that resemble in vivo genome organization and thereby demonstrate that neither loop extrusion nor transcription are required for domain formation. The domain boundaries correspond to nucleosome-free regions and insulation strength scales with their width. Integrated molecular dynamics simulations show that domain compaction is dependent on nucleosome linker length, with longer linkers forming more compact structures. Together, our work demonstrates that fundamental properties of chromatin fibers are important determinants of higher-order genome folding and provides a proof-of-principle for bottom-up 3D genome studies.
