Project description:The nuclear lamina (NL) interacts with hundreds of large genomic regions termed lamina-associated domains (LADs). The dynamics of these interactions and the relation to epigenetic modifications are poorly understood. We visualized the fate of LADs in single cells using a novel 'molecular contact memory' approach. In each interphase nucleus, only ~30% of LADs are positioned at the periphery; these LADs are in intermittent molecular contact with the NL but remain constrained to the periphery. Upon mitosis, LAD positioning is not detectably inherited but instead is stochastically reshuffled. Contact of individual LADs with the NL correlates with their degree of H3K9 dimethylation in single cells, and inactivation of the H3K9 methyltransferase G9a reduces the NL contact frequencies. These results indicate that nuclear positioning and histone modification of LADs are both stochastic yet linked in single cells. Collectively, these results highlight principles of the dynamic spatial architecture of chromosomes. 12 RNA-seq experiments for 6 samples, each with a biological replicate: m6ATracer-VP16+/DamLaminB1+ m6ATracer-VP16+/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-VP16-/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-GFP+/DamLaminB1+ m6ATracer-GFP+/DamLaminB1- m6ATracer-GFP-/DamLaminB1-

Project description:DNA methylation occurs in both CG and non-CG sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is abundant in plants, and is mediated by CHROMOMETHYLASE (CMT) and DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLTRANSFERASE (DRM) proteins; however its roles remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the roles of non-CG methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that a poorly characterized methyltransferase, CMT2, is a functional methyltransferase in vitro and in vivo. CMT2 specifically binds histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) dimethylation and methylates non-CG cytosines at sites that are also regulated by H3K9 dimethylation. By generating different combinations of non-CG methylation mutants, we reveal the contributions and redundancies between each methyltransferase in DNA methylation patterning and in regulating transposable elements (TEs) and protein-coding genes. We also demonstrate extensive dependencies of small RNA accumulation and H3K9 methylation patterning on non-CG methylation, suggesting self-reinforcing mechanisms between these epigenetic factors. The results suggest that non-CG methylation patterns are critical in shaping the histone modification and small non-coding RNA landscapes. Eighteen mRNA-seq samples, five smRNA-seq samples, five bisulfite-seq samples, twenty ChIP-seq samples. Bisulfite-seq data for cmt2-7 single mutants, cmt3 single mutants, drm1/2 double mutants, drm1/2 cmt3 triple mutants are deposited in GSE39901.

Project description:Mammalian interphase chromosomes interact with the nuclear lamina (NL) through hundreds of large Lamina Associated Domains (LADs). We report a method to map NL contacts genome-wide in single human cells. Analysis of ~400 maps reveals a core architecture of gene-poor LADs that contact the NL with high cell-to-cell consistency, interspersed by LADs with more variable NL interactions. The variable contacts are more sensitive to a change in genome ploidy than the consistent contacts. Single-cell maps indicate that NL contacts involve multivalent interactions over hundreds of kilobases. Moreover, we observe extensive intra-chromosomal coordination of NL contacts, even over tens of megabases. Such coordinated loci exhibit preferential interactions as detected by Hi-C. Finally, single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility analysis shows that loci with consistent NL contacts are expressed at lower levels and are more consistently inaccessible than loci with lower contact frequencies. These results highlight fundamental principles of single cell chromatin organization. Hi-C Data

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by a deletion in a D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat array in the 4q subtelomere that leads to somatic de-repression of the transcription factor DUX4. It is not fully understood how array contractions cause de-repression, but they alter the local chromatin structure of D4Z4, resulting in loss of heterochromatic markers. In order to determine whether pathogenic contractions also alter the nuclear organization of the FSHD locus, we designed an allele-aware, high-throughput circular chromosome conformation capture assay (4C-seq) that distinguishes the two 4q copies of the locus from each other and from a paralogous locus in the 10q subtelomere. Using a short sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) four kilobasepairs from the array as âharacterized the genomic contacts made by the four copies of the FSHD locus in muscle cell nuclei. The SSLP contacts predominate on the same chromosome arm as the bait, decaying rapidly beyond 30-40 Mb. Contacts on other chromosomes were enriched near centromeres and CTCF sites. We also found that the FSHD locus normally contacts regions adjacent to the nuclear lamina and with low overall gene expression. However, we found that the deleted locus in FSHD cells makes more contacts with regions with comparatively lower lamina adjacency and higher overall gene expression than in control cells. Furthermore, association of D4Z4 with components of the nuclear lamina was reduced in FSHD cells relative to control cells. Our results suggest that altered nuclear organization at 4q35 may be one factor in the de-repression of DUX4 in FSHD. 5 primary cells (2 control, 1 FSHD1, 1 FSHD2, and 1 FSHD3) were used to generate 4C libraries in biological duplicate, for a total of 10 4C libraries

Project description:DNA methylation functions in gene silencing and the maintenance of genome integrity. In plants, non-CG DNA methylation is linked through a self-reinforcing loop with histone 3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2). The plant-specific SUPPRESSOR OF VARIEGATION 3–9 HOMOLOG (SUVH) family H3K9 methyltransferases (MTases) bind to DNA methylation marks and catalyze H3K9 methylation. Here, we analyzed the structure and function of Arabidopsis thaliana SUVH6 to understand how this class of enzyme maintains methylation patterns in the genome. We reveal that SUVH6 has a distinct 5mC base-flipping mechanism involving a thumb loop element. Autoinhibition of H3 substrate entry is regulated by a SET domain loop, and a conformational transition in the postSET domain upon cofactor binding may control catalysis. In vitro DNA binding and in vivo ChIP-seq data reveal that the different SUVH family H3K9 MTases have distinct DNA binding preferences, targeting H3K9 methylation to sites with different methylated DNA sequences, explaining the context biased non-CG DNA methylation in plants.
