Project description:The nuclear lamina (NL) is a filamentous layer lining the inner-nuclear-membrane (INM) that aids in the organization of the genome in large domains of low transcriptional activity. Recently, it was shown that the single-cell genome-NL interactions are much more dynamic than previously anticipated, which challenges the concept of the NL as a safe guard for transcriptional repressed genes. Here we discuss the role of the NL in light of these new findings and introduce Lamin A and BAF as potential modulators of LAD positioning BAF-chromatin and Lamin B2-chromatin interactions were assayed in human HT1080 by DamID on Nimblegen microarrays, with two biological replicates each, that were hybridized in a dye-swap design.

Project description:The nuclear lamina has multiple functions, including maintaining nuclear structural integrity and differential gene expression. Correct spatial and temporal lamina assembly is essential to meet these and other roles. Recently, it emerged that multiple lamina systems exist that are likely products of independent origins, while all these systems share remarkably analogous functions. Several lamina proteins are known in trypanosomes, two of which, NUP-1 and NUP-2, are essential, coiled-coil proteins with a molecular mass 450 and 250 kDa, respectively. Sequence analysis indicates distinct quaternary structures when compared to the ~60 kDa lamin proteins of multiple lineages, including metazoa. To uncover organisational principles of the trypanosome lamina we generated NUP-1 deletion mutants (N=N-terminal domain; C= C-terminal domain; NC: fusion of the N- and C-terminal domain with entire repeat region deletedd))designed to identify domains of NUP-1 responsible for oligomerisation. We find that both N- and C-termini act as interaction domains and disruption of these interactions impacts additional components of the lamina, the nuclear envelope and nucleoporin TbNup98. By contrast there is remarkably little impact on transcription, crucially including silencing of telomeric variant surface glycoprotein genes. These data indicate that both terminal domains of NUP-1 have roles in assembling the trypanosome lamina and suggest an architecture distinct to the lamin system is based on a ‘hub and spoke’ configuration.

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

Project description:The nuclear lamina constitutes more than a structural scaffold for the nucleus and plays a crucial role in protection of genomic integrity. Here we report that the loss of the lysine acetyl-transferase (KAT) MOF leads to nuclear architecture defects during interphase including micronuclei formation. We identify Lamin A/C, a major component of the nuclear lamina, to be an acetylation target of MOF. A point mutation in Lamin A phenocopies nuclear morphology defects observed upon Mof-deletion. Through single cell DNA sequencing, we reveal that either loss of Mof or Lamin A mutation result in extensive genomic instability, including chromothripsis. Our work establishes MOF-dependent Lamin acetylation as a key regulator of nuclear architecture maintenance in mammals.

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.

Project description:Lamins are components of the peripheral nuclear lamina and interact with heterochromatic genomic regions, termed lamina-associated domains (LADs). In contrast to lamin B1, lamin A/C also localizes throughout the nucleus, where it associates with the chromatin-binding protein lamina-associated polypeptide (LAP) 2alpha. Here we show lamin A/C also interacts with euchromatin, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses of eu- and heterochromatin-enriched samples. By way of contrast, lamin B1 was only found associated with heterochromatin. Euchromatic regions occupied by lamin A/C overlap with those bound by LAP2alpha, the depletion of which shifts binding of lamin A/C towards more heterochromatic regions. These alterations in lamin A/C chromatin interaction affect epigenetic histone marks in euchromatin without significantly affecting gene expression, while loss of lamin A/C in heterochromatic regions increased gene expression. Our data show a novel role of nucleoplasmic lamin A/C and LAP2alpha in regulating euchromatin.
