Promoter-proximal CTCF binding promotes distal enhancer-dependent gene activation I

Project description:The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is widely regarded as a key player in chromosome organization in mammalian cells, yet direct assessment of its role in genome architecture and gene regulation has been difficult. Here, we use auxin-inducible degron techniques to acutely deplete CTCF to determine how loss of CTCF affect chromatin organization and gene expression. In mouse embryonic stem cells, depletion of CTCF results in rapid loss of chromatin loops anchored at CTCF-binding sites without major disruption to chromatin compartments and topological domains. In the absence of CTCF, many lineage-specific genes fail to express properly during differentiation to neural precursor cells, but transcriptional regulation of most genes is unaffected. Genes dependent on CTCF for induction are generally bound by the factor at promoters, which are connected to distal enhancers via CTCF-dependent chromatin loops. By contrast, CTCF-independent genes generally lack CTCF binding at the promoter and are generally closer to enhancers. These results refine our understanding of CTCF function in chromatin organization and gene regulation.
