Project description:Cohesin and CTCF control chromosomal contact dynamics in living cells

Project description:Mammalian chromosomes are partitioned into topologically associating domains (TADs) by the loop-extrusion activity of cohesin that is blocked at specific DNA sites bound by CTCF. Chromosome structure inside TADs is highly variable in single cells, yet little is known about its temporal dynamics, how it influences the rates and durations of chromosomal contacts, and how it depends on CTCF and cohesin. To address these questions we combine two quantitative live-cell imaging strategies that minimize locus-specific confounding effects. We show that loop extrusion by cohesin globally reduces the mobility of the chromatin fiber in living cells, while also increasing the rates of formation and durations of contacts between sequences inside the same TAD. Quantitative analysis of high-resolution microscopy data reveals that contacts assemble and disassemble frequently in the course of the cell cycle, and become substantially more frequent and longer in the presence of convergent CTCF sites. Comparison with polymer modeling additionally reveals that cohesin-mediated CTCF loops last around 10 minutes on average. Our data support the notion that chromosome structure within TADs is highly dynamic and provide a quantitative framework for understanding the principles that link chromosome structure to biological function.

Project description:The cohesin complex shapes chromosomes by DNA loop extrusion, but individual extrusion trajectories were so far unappreciable in vivo. Here, we developed and validated TArgeted Cohesin Loader (TACL), a system enabling the strong activation of anchored loop extrusion from dozens of defined genomic sites in living cells. Studying their individual loop extrusion trajectories revealed that extruding cohesin-STAG2 stops not only at domain boundaries but at all flanking CTCF sites, engaging them in a complex transient looping network that supports intradomain contacts. Cohesin-STAG1 cannot associate with weak CTCF binding sites and fails to similarly support intradomain interactions. NIPBL-MAU2 remains associated with cohesin when stalled at looping CTCF sites, suggesting these factors may also be required for loop stabilization. TACL induces cohesin traffic jams and illegal loops with divergent CTCF sites, demonstrating that stalled cohesin can block extruding cohesin in vivo. Genes exposed to TACL-induced loop extrusion were collectively hindered in transcription and the underlying chromatin altered its accessibility and reduced its H3K27ac marks. Thus, by enabling the study of individual loop extrusion trajectories in vivo, we could assign new functions to players, identify new looping networks and uncover an interplay between loop extrusion, gene transcription and chromatin composition.
