Domain organization of human chromosomes revealed by mapping of nuclear lamina interactions

ABSTRACT: Proper genome functionality is underpinned by the non-random, spatial or ganisation of chromatin. At the periphery of the nucleus, the association of chr omatin with the nuclear lamina is thought to facilitate both structural organisa tion and regulation of gene expression. Except for a small number of individual loci, the regions of the human genome that locate at the nuclear lamina have not been identified. Here we used DamID to map the interaction sites of lamin B1 at high resolution in human fibroblasts. We show that almost half of the human gen ome preferentially associates with the nuclear lamina. Chromatin-lamina interact ions occur via sharply demarcated domains of up to several megabases in size, wh ich are bordered by similar sized domains that do not associate with the lamina. Lamina associated domains (LADs) are typified by low gene density and low gene expression levels. This is reflected by low levels of PolII binding and histone modification H3K4me2, in combination with enrichment of H3K27me3 (and H3K9?). A considerable subset of LADs is flanked by active promoters pointing outwards, or by the insulator protein CTCF, suggesting possible mechanisms of LAD confinemen t. Finally, we found that chromosome re-arrangements occur more frequently betwe en loci located either within or outside LADs. The identification of enormous, s harply defined stretches of the human genome that associate with the nuclear lam ina provides unprecedented insights into the 3D organisation of chromatin within the nucleus. Our results reveal the division of the human genome into periphera l and internal domains, which is echoed in genome functionality. Keywords: DamID

A molecular mechanism for compartmentalization and silencing of chromatin domains at the nuclear lamina [ChIP-seq]

Project description:A large fraction of the mammalian genome is organized into inactive chromosomal domains associated with the nuclear lamina. Using genomic repositioning assays we show that Lamina associated domains (LADs), spanning the developmentally regulated IgH and Cyp3a loci, contain transportable DNA regions that associate chromatin with the nuclear lamina and repress gene activity in fibroblasts. We characterized DNA regions within LADs that are functionally capable of positioning chromatin domains at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) lamina. We mapped and characterized the IgH and other LADs in murine fibroblasts. We show that these murine LADs have a unique chromatin structure with discrete boundaries. We demonstrate DNA regions within LADs that are capable of directing the association of chromatin domains with the INM-lamina as well as the silencing of a co-integrated reporter gene.

The repressive genome compartment is established early in the cell cycle before forming the lamina associated domains II (re-analysis)

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) genome organization is thought to be important for regulation of gene expression. Chromosome conformation capture-based studies have uncovered ensemble organizational principles such as active (A) and inactive (B) compartmentalization. In addition, large inactive regions of the genome associate with the nuclear lamina, the Lamina Associated Domains (LADs). Here we investigate the dynamic relationship between A/B-compartment organization and the 3D organization of LADs. Using refined algorithms to identify active (A) and inactive (B) compartments from Hi-C data and to define LADs from DamID, we confirm that the LADs correspond to the B-compartment. Using specialized chromosome conformation paints, we show that LAD and A/B-compartment organization are dependent upon chromatin state and A-type lamins. By integrating single-cell Hi-C data with live cell imaging and chromosome conformation paints, we demonstrate that self-organization of the B-compartment within a chromosome is an early event post-mitosis and occurs prior to organization of these domains to the nuclear lamina.

The large fraction of heterochromatin in Drosophila neurons is simultaneously bound by B-type lamin and HP1a

Project description:In most mammalian cell lines, chromatin located at the nuclear periphery is represented by condensed heterochromatin as observed by both microscopy observations and DamID mapping of lamina-associated domains (LADs), enriched in dimethylated Lys9 of histone H3 (H3K9me2). In Drosophila Kc167 cell culture, where LADs were only mapped to the moment, they are neither H3K9me2-enriched, nor overlap with the domains of Heterochromatin Protein 1a (HP1a). Here, using a cell type-specific DamID approach we mapped genome-wide LADs, HP1a and Pc domains from the central brain, Repo-positive glia, Elav-positive neurons and the fat body of Drosophila third instar larvae. Silent or weakly-expressed genes occupy LADs, HP1a and Pc domains, with genes residing in the HP1a-bound LADs expressed at the lowest level. However, a fraction of HP1a domains contain actively expressed genes. The inter-LAD regions that are shared by all cell types are populated by ubiquitously expressed genes, whereas the conserved LADs are less abundant than in mammals. Importantly, in the central brain and in neurons we found strong overlap of HP1a domains with LADs both in the chromosome arms and in pericentromeric regions. In the glia and fat bodies, this overlap was less frequent. Consistent with these results, centromeres appear to reside closer to nuclear lamina in neurons than in Kc167 cells. The discovery of Drosophila peripheral chromatin bound by both HP1a and B-type lamin implies that mechanisms of heterochromatin compaction and attachment to nuclear lamina may be similar in Drosophila and mammals.

Mapping the micro-proteome of the nuclear lamina and lamin associated domains

Project description:The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous network of filaments that provide both structural and gene regulatory functions by tethering proteins and large domains of DNA, so-called lamin associated domains (LADs), to the periphery of the nucleus. LADs are a large fraction of the mammalian genome that are repressed, in part, by their association to the nuclear periphery. The genesis and maintenance of LADs is poorly understood as are the proteins that participate in these functions. In an effort to identify proteins that reside at the nuclear periphery and potentially interact with LADs, we have taken a two-pronged approach. First, we have undertaken an interactome analysis of the inner nuclear membrane bound LAP2β to further characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. To accomplish this, we have leveraged the BioID system, which previously has been successfully used to characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. Second, we have established a system to identify proteins that bind to LADs by developing a chromatin directed BioID system. We combined the BioID system with the m6A-tracer system which binds to LADs in live cells to identify LAD proximal and nuclear lamina proteins. In combining these datasets, we have further characterized the protein network at the nuclear lamina as well as identified putative LAD proximal proteins. Our analysis identifies many heterochromatin related proteins related to H3K9 methylation processes as well as many proteins related to cell cycle regulation identifying important proteins essential for LAD function.

The insulator protein SU(HW) modulates nuclear lamina interactions of the Drosophila genome: DamID

Project description:Specific interactions of the genome with the nuclear lamina (NL) are thought to assist chromosome folding inside the nucleus and to contribute to the regulation of gene expression. High-resolution mapping has recently identified hundreds of large, sharply defined lamina-associated domains (LADs) in the human genome, and suggested that the insulator protein CTCF may help to demarcate these domains. Here, we report the detailed structure of LADs in Drosophila cells, and investigate the putative roles of five insulator proteins in LAD organization. We found that of these five proteins, only SU(HW) binds preferentially at LAD borders and at specific positions inside LADs, while GAF, CTCF, BEAF-32 and DWG are mostly absent from these regions. By knockdown and overexpression studies we demonstrate that SU(HW) weakens LAD – NL interactions by a local antagonistic effect. Our results provide insights into the evolution of LAD organization and reveal a role for SU(HW) in the regulation of genome – NL interactions. DamID experiments for Lamin, CTCF, SU(HW), GAF, DWG, and BEAF-32, and for Lamin after overexpression and after knockdown of SU(HW), were performed in Drosophila cell cultures. Samples were hybridized to 380k NimbleGen arrays with 300 bp probe spacing. Every experiment was done in duplicate in the reverse dye orientation. The supplementary file 'GSE20311_DamID_norm_mean.txt' contains the mean log2(Dam-fusion/Dam-only) values of two replicates.

Nuclear Lamins are Not Required for Genome Organization in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:In mammals, the nuclear lamina interacts with hundreds of large genomic regions, termed lamina-associated domains (LADs) that are generally in a transcriptionally repressed state. Lamins form the major structural component of the lamina and have been reported to bind DNA and chromatin. Here we systematically evaluated whether lamins are necessary for the peripheral localization of LADs in murine embryonic stem cells. Surprisingly, removal of essentially all lamins did not have any detectable effect on the genome-wide interaction pattern of chromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. This suggests that other components of the inner nuclear membrane mediate these interactions. 2 samples, each with a biological replicate: wt mESC, B type lamin null (dKO) dKO mESC

Differential features of lamina-associated domains mapped by ChIP-sequencing from sonicated or micrococcal nuclease-digested chromatin

Project description:The nuclear lamina interacts with the genome through megabase-size lamina-associated domains (LADs). LADs have been identified in proximity labeling assays and recently by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) of A- and B-type lamins. LADs localize mainly to the nuclear periphery, they are gene-poor and largely heterochromatic. Here, we show that the mode of chromatin fragmentation for ChIP, namely either bath sonication (used to date for ChIP of nuclear lamins) or digestion with micrococcal nuclease (MNase) leads to the discovery of distinct sets of lamin-interacting domains (which we refer to as LiDs) with distinct gene content, histone composition enrichment and relationship to lamin B1-interacting domains. We find that total genome coverage by lamin A/C ('LMNA') LiDs identified in sonicated or MNase-digested chromatin is similar (~730 megabases). Over half of these domains, however, are uniquely detected in sonicated or MNase-digested chromatin. Whereas sonication-specific LMNA LiDs are gene-poor and devoid of a broad panel of histone modifications, MNase-specific LMNA LiDs are of higher gene density and are enriched in H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and in histone variant H2A.Z. Analysis of published LMNB1 LADs and of LMNB1 LiDs identified by ChIP-seq further shows that LMNA can associate with 'open' chromatin domains displaying euchromatin features which are not associated with LMNB1. The differential genetic and epigenetic properties of lamin-interacting chromatin domains indicate the existence of distinct LiD populations identifiable in different chromatin contexts, including nuclease-accessible 'open' regions presumably localized in the nuclear interior.

Local euchromatin enrichment in lamina-associated domains anticipates their re-positioning in the adipogenic lineage

Project description:Interactions of chromatin with the nuclear lamina via lamina-associated domains (LADs) confers structural stability to the genome. The dynamics of positioning of LADs during differentiation, and how LADs impinge on developmental gene expression, remains elusive, however. We examined changes in the association of lamin B1 with the genome in the first 72 hours of differentiation of adipose stem cells into adipocytes. We demonstrate a repositioning of entire stand-alone LADs and of LAD edges as a prominent nuclear structural feature of early adipogenesis. Whereas adipogenic genes are released from LADs, LADs sequester downregulated or repressed genes irrelevant for the adipose lineage. However, LAD repositioning only partly concurs with gene expression changes. Differentially expressed genes in LADs, including LADs conserved throughout differentiation, reside in local euchromatic and lamin-depleted sub-domains. In these sub-domains, pre-differentiation histone modification profiles correlate with the LAD versus inter-LAD outcome of these genes during adipogenic commitment. In addition, differentially expressed genes in LADs are linked to short-range enhancers which overall co-partition with these genes in LADs versus inter-LADs during differentiation. We conclude that LADs are predictable structural features of adipose nuclear architecture that restrain non-adipogenic genes in a repressive environment.
