Project description:Because chromatin determines whether information encoded in DNA is accessible to transcription factors, dynamic chromatin states in development may constrain how gene regulatory networks impart embryonic pattern. To determine the interplay between chromatin states and regulatory network function, we performed ATAC seq on Drosophila embryos over the period spanning the establishment of the segmentation network, comparing wild-type and mutant embryos in which all graded maternal patterning inputs are eliminated. While during the period between zygotic genome activation and gastrulation many regions maintain stable accessibility, cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) within the segmentation network undergo extensive patterning-dependent changes in accessibility. A component of the network, Odd-paired (opa), is necessary for pioneering accessibility of segmentation network CRMs. While opa is necessary to drive late opening of segmentation network cis-regulatory elements, competence for opa to pioneer is regulated over time. These results indicate that dynamic systems for chromatin regulation directly impact the interpretation of embryonic patterning information.

Interfering with the timing of opa activity impacts the proper patterning of expression. These results indicate that dynamic systems for chromatin regulation directly impact the reading of embryonic patterning information.

Project description:Immediately after fertilization the genome is transcriptionally quiescent. Maternally encoded pioneer transcription factors reprogram the chromatin state and facilitate the transcription of the zygotic genome. In Drosophila, transcription is initiated by the pioneer factor Zelda. While Zelda-occupied sites are enriched with histone acetylation, a post-translational mark associated with active cis-regulatory regions, the functional relationship between Zelda and histone acetylation in zygotic genome activation remained unclear. We show that Zelda-mediated recruitment of the histone acetyltransferase CBP is essential for zygotic transcription and embryonic development. CBP catalytic activity is necessary for release of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) into transcription elongation. However, CBP largely activates zygotic transcription independent of acetylation through Pol II recruitment. Neither acetylation nor CBP are required for the pioneering function of Zelda. Our data suggest that pioneer factor-mediated recruitment of CBP is a conserved mechanism required to activate zygotic transcription but that this role is separable from the function of pioneer factors in restructuring chromatin accessibility.

Project description:The segmental organization of the vertebral column is established early in embryogenesis when pairs of somites are rhythmically produced by the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The tempo of somite formation is controlled by a molecular oscillator known as the segmentation clock. While this oscillator has been well-characterized in model organisms, whether a similar oscillator exists in humans remains unknown. Genetic analysis of patients with severe spine segmentation defects have implicated several human orthologs of cyclic genes associated with the mouse segmentation clock, suggesting that this oscillator might be conserved in humans. Here we show that in vitro-derived human as well as mouse PSM cells recapitulate oscillations of the segmentation clock. Human PSM cells oscillate twice slower than mouse cells (5-hours vs. 2.5 hours), but are similarly regulated by FGF, Wnt, Notch and YAP. Single cell RNA-sequencing reveals that mouse and human PSM cells in vitro follow a similar developmental trajectory to mouse PSM in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrate that FGF signaling controls the phase and period of oscillations, expanding the role of this pathway beyond its classical interpretation in 'Clock and Wavefront' models. Overall, our work identifying the human segmentation clock represents an important breakthrough for human developmental biology.
