Systematic Functional Characterization of Antisense eRNA of Protocadherin alpha HS5-1 Enhancer

Project description:Enhancers generate bidirectional noncoding enhancer RNAs (eRNA) that may regulate gene expression. At present, the eRNA function remains enigmatic. Here, we report a 5’ capped antisense eRNA PEARL (Pcdh eRNA associated with R-loop formation) that is transcribed from the protocadherin (Pcdh) alpha HS5-1 enhancer region. Through loss- and gain-of-function experiments with CRISPR/Cas9 DNA-fragment editing, CRISPRi, and CRISPRa as well as locked nucleic acid strategies, in conjunction with ChIRP, MeDIP, DRIP, QHR-4C, and HiChIP experiments, we find that PEARL regulates Pcdh alpha gene expression by forming local RNA-DNA duplexes (R-loops) in situ within the HS5-1 enhancer region to promote long-distance chromatin interactions between distal enhancer and target promoter. In particular, increased levels of eRNA PEARL via perturbing transcription elongation factor SPT6 leads to strengthened local three-dimensional chromatin organization within the Pcdh superTAD. These findings have important implications regarding molecular mechanisms by which the HS5-1 enhancer regulates stochastic Pcdh alpha promoter choice in single cells in the brain.

Antisense lncRNA transcription mediates DNA demethylation to drive stochastic Protocadherin α promoter choice

Project description:Stochastic activation of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) α, β, and γ genes generates a cell-surface identity code in individual neurons that functions in neural circuit assembly. Here, we show that Pcdhα gene choice involves the activation of an antisense promoter located in the first exon of each Pcdhα alternate gene. Transcription of an antisense long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) from this antisense promoter extends through the sense promoter, leading to DNA demethylation of the CTCF binding sites proximal to each promoter. Demethylation-dependent CTCF binding to both promoters facilitates cohesin-mediated DNA looping with a distal enhancer (HS5-1), locking in the transcriptional state of the chosen Pcdhα gene. Uncoupling DNA demethylation from antisense transcription by Tet3 overexpression in mouse olfactory neurons promotes CTCF binding to all Pcdhα promoters, resulting in proximity-biased DNA looping of the HS5-1 enhancer. Thus, antisense transcription-mediated promoter demethylation functions as a mechanism for distance-independent enhancer/promoter DNA looping to ensure stochastic Pcdhα promoter choice.

Mechanism of REST/NRSF Regulation of Clustered Protocadherin Alpha Genes

Project description:Repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) or neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) is a zinc-finger (ZF) containing transcriptional repressor that recognizes thousands of neuron-restrictive silencer elements (NRSEs) in mammalian genomes. How REST/NRSF regulates gene expression remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the binding pattern and regulation mechanism of REST/NRSF in the clustered protocadherin (PCDH) genes. We find that REST/NRSF directionally forms base-specific interactions with NRSEs via tandem ZFs in an anti-parallel manner but with striking conformational changes. In addition, REST/NRSF recruitment to the HS5-1 enhancer leads to the decrease of long-range enhancer-promoter interactions and downregulation of the clustered PCDH alpha genes. Thus, REST/NRSF represses PCDH alpha gene expression through directional binding to a repertoire of NRSEs within the distal enhancer and variable target genes.

Super-enhancer switching in early mammalian development involves eRNA mediated SWI/SNF recruitment [CUT-RUN]

Project description:The RNA transcribed from enhancer regions, referred to as eRNA, has been suggested to directly activate transcription by helping to recruit transcription factors and co-activators. Although there have been specific examples of eRNA functioning in this way, it is not clear how general this may be. We find the AT-hook of SWI/SNF alone binds preferentially RNA and as part of the esBAF complexes associates with eRNA transcribed from intronic and intergenic regions. SWI/SNF is globally recruited in cis by eRNA to cell-type specific enhancers at two distinct stages in early mammalian development and not at promoters or enhancers that are shared between the two stages. SWI/SNF recruited by eRNA facilitates recruitment and/or activation of MLL3/4, p300/CBP and Mediator co-activators to stage-specific super-enhancers that in the primed embryonic stage activate cell lineage priming related genes. We find a strong connection between ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling and eRNA in cell identity and super-enhancer activation.
