Project description:Chromosome loops shift dynamically during development, homeostasis, and disease. CTCF is known to anchor loops and construct 3D genomes, but how anchor sites are selected is not yet understood. Here we unveil Jpx RNA as a determinant of anchor selectivity. Jpx RNA targets thousands of genomic sites, preferentially binding promoters of active genes. Depleting Jpx RNA causes ectopic CTCF binding, massive shifts in chromosome looping, and downregulation of >700 Jpx target genes. Without Jpx, thousands of lost loops are replaced by de novo loops anchored by ectopic CTCF sites. Although Jpx controls CTCF binding on a genome-wide basis, it acts selectively at the subset of developmentally sensitive CTCF sites. Specifically, Jpx targets low-affinity CTCF motifs and displaces CTCF protein through competitive inhibition. We conclude that Jpx acts as a CTCF release factor and shapes the 3D genome by regulating anchor site usage.

Project description:Background: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 loci associated with increased risk of prostate cancer, most of which are in non-coding regions of the genome. Understanding the function of these non-coding risk loci is critical to elucidate the genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer. Results: We generated genome-wide regulatory element maps and performed genome-wide chromosome confirmation capture assays (in situ Hi-C) in normal and tumorigenic prostate cells. Using this information, we annotated the regulatory potential of 2,181 fine-mapped PCa risk-associated SNPs and predicted a set of target genes that are regulated by PCa risk-related H3K27Ac-mediated loops. We next identified PCa risk-associated CTCF sites involved in long-range chromatin loops. We used CRISPR-mediated deletion to remove PCa risk-associated CTCF anchor regions and the CTCF anchor regions looped to the PCa risk-associated CTCF sites; we observed up to 100 fold increases in expression of genes within the loops when the PCa risk-associated CTCF anchor regions were deleted. Conclusions: We have identified GWAS risk loci involved in long-range loops that function to repress gene expression within chromatin loops. Our studies provide new insights into the genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer.

Project description:The human genome folds to create thousands of loops connecting sites that are bound by the insulator protein CTCF and the ring-shaped cohesin complex. It is thought that most of these loops emerge through a process whereby cohesin extrudes chromatin, forming an initially small loop that grows larger and larger until the loop’s expansion is arrested by CTCF. Cohesin rings comprise four proteins: SMC1, SMC3, SCC1, and, in higher eukaryotes, either STAG1 or STAG2. We explore differential roles of especially STAG1, STAG2 and ESCO1 proteins in chromatin organization.

Project description:Cohesin catalyses the folding of the genome into loops that are anchored by CTCF. The molecular mechanism of how cohesin and CTCF structure the 3D genome has remained unclear. Here we show that a segment within the CTCF N terminus interacts with the SA2-SCC1 subunits of cohesin. A 2.6 Å crystal structure of SA2-SCC1 in complex with CTCF reveals the molecular basis of the interaction. We demonstrate that this interaction is specifically required for CTCF-anchored loops and contributes to the positioning of cohesin at CTCF-binding sites. A similar motif is present in a number of established and novel cohesin ligands, including the cohesin release factor WAPL. Our data suggest that CTCF enables chromatin loop formation by protecting cohesin against loop release. These results provide fundamental insights into the molecular mechanism that enables dynamic regulation of chromatin folding by cohesin and CTCF.

Project description:CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) is an important factor in the maintenance of chromatin chromatin interactions, yet the mechanism regulating its binding to chromatin is unknown. We demonstrate that zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143) is a key regulator for CTCF bound promoter enhancer loops. In the murine genome, a large percentage of CTCF and ZNF143 DNA binding motifs are distributed 37 bp apart in the convergent orientation. Furthermore, deletion of ZNF143 leads to loss of CTCF binding on promoter and enhancer regions associated with gene expression changes. CTCF bound promoter enhancer loops are also disrupted after excision of ZNF143. ZNF143 CTCF bound promoter enhancer loops regulate gene expression patterns essential for maintenance of murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell integrity. Our data suggest a common feature of gene regulation that ZNF143 is a critical factor for CTCF bound promoter enhancer loops.

Project description:CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an architectural protein involved in the three-dimensional organization of chromatin. In this study, we systematically assayed the 3D genomic contact profiles of hundreds of CTCF binding sites in multiple tissues with high-resolution 4C-seq. We find both developmentally stable and dynamic chromatin loops. As recently reported, our data also suggest that chromatin loops preferentially form between CTCF binding sites oriented in a convergent manner. To directly test this, we used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to delete core CTCF binding sites in three loci, including the CTCF site in the Sox2 super-enhancer. In all instances, CTCF and cohesin recruitment were lost, and chromatin loops with distal CTCF sites were disrupted or destabilized. Re-insertion of oppositely oriented CTCF recognition sequences restored CTCF and cohesin recruitment, but did not re-establish chromatin loops. We conclude that CTCF binding polarity plays a functional role in the formation of higher order chromatin structure. 4C-seq was performed on a large number of viewpoints in E14 embryonic stem cells, neural precursor cells and primary fetal liver cells
