A molecular mechanism for compartmentalization and silencing of chromatin domains at the nuclear lamina [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: A large fraction of the mammalian genome is organized into inactive chromosomal domains associated with the nuclear lamina. Using genomic repositioning assays we show that Lamina associated domains (LADs), spanning the developmentally regulated IgH and Cyp3a loci, contain transportable DNA regions that associate chromatin with the nuclear lamina and repress gene activity in fibroblasts. We characterized DNA regions within LADs that are functionally capable of positioning chromatin domains at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) lamina. We mapped and characterized the IgH and other LADs in murine fibroblasts. We show that these murine LADs have a unique chromatin structure with discrete boundaries. We demonstrate DNA regions within LADs that are capable of directing the association of chromatin domains with the INM-lamina as well as the silencing of a co-integrated reporter gene.

GC-rich Sequence Elements Recruit Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) in ES cells

Project description:Polycomb proteins are epigenetic regulators that localize to developmental loci in the early embryo where they mediate lineage-specific gene repression. In Drosophila, these repressors are recruited to sequence elements by DNA binding proteins associated with Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). However, the sequences that recruit PRC2 in mammalian cells have remained obscure. To address this, we integrated a series of engineered bacterial artificial chromosomes into embryonic stem (ES) cells and examined their chromatin. We found that a 44 kb region corresponding to the Zfpm2 locus initiates de novo recruitment of PRC2. We then pinpointed a CpG island within this locus as both necessary and sufficient for PRC2 recruitment. Based on this causal demonstration and prior genomic analyses, we hypothesized that large GC-rich elements depleted of activating transcription factor motifs mediate PRC2 recruitment in mammals. We validated this model in two ways. First, we showed that a constitutively active CpG island is able to recruit PRC2 after excision of a cluster of activating motifs. Second, we showed that two 1 kb sequence intervals from the E. coli genome with GC-contents comparable to a mammalian CpG island are both capable of recruiting PRC2 when integrated into the ES cell genome. Our findings demonstrate a causal role for GC-rich sequences in PRC2 recruitment and implicate a specific subset of CpG islands depleted of activating motifs as instrumental for the initial localization of this key regulator in mammalian genomes.

Transcriptome-wide mapping of human Staufen1 binding sites

Project description:Purpose: We performed RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) experiments against human Staufen1 (Stau1) to identify its precise RNA binding sites in a transcriptome-wide manner. To monitor the consequences of Stau1 binding in terms of target mRNA levels and ribosome occupancy, we modified the levels of endogenous Stau1 in cells by siRNA or overexpression and performed RNA-sequencing and ribosome-footprinting experiments. Staufen1 (Stau1) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein implicated in mRNA transport, regulation of translation, mRNA decay and stress granule homeostasis. Here we combined RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) with RNase footprinting, formaldehyde crosslinking, sonication-mediated RNA fragmentation and deep sequencing to map Staufen1 binding sites transcriptome-wide. We find that Stau1 binds complex secondary structures containing multiple short helices, many of which are formed by inverted Alu elements in annotated 3'UTRs or in "strongly distal" 3'UTRs extending far beyond the canonical polyadenylation signal. Stau1 also interacts with both actively translating ribosomes and with mRNA coding sequences (CDS) and 3'UTRs in proportion to their GC-content and internal secondary structure-forming propensity. On mRNAs with high CDS GC-content, higher Stau1 levels lead to greater ribosome densities, suggesting a general role for Stau1 in modulating the ability of ribosomes to elongate through secondary structures located in CDS regions. We used HEK293 cells expressing near endogenous levels of wild-type Flag-Stau1 (65KDa isoform with an N-Terminal Flag tag). As a control we used a mutant version of Stau1 that is not functional for dsRNA binding. Formaldehyde crosslinking experiments and RNase footprinting experiments were done in two biological replicates. All RNASeq, Ribosome footprinting and PAS-Seq were done in two biological replicates.

Epigenomic comparison of distinct pluripotent stem cell states reveals a new class of enhancers with roles throughout mammalian development (DNase-seq)

Project description:NaM-CM-/ve mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and primed epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs) represent successive snapshots of pluripotency during embryogenesis. Using transcriptomic and epigenomic mapping, we show that a small fraction of transcripts are differentially expressed between mESCs and mEpiSCs and these genes show expected changes in chromatin at their promoters and enhancers. Unexpectedly, the cis-regulatory circuitry of genes that are expressed at identical levels between these cell states also differs dramatically. In mESCs, these genes are associated with dominant proximal enhancers and dormant distal enhancers, which we term seed enhancers. In mEpiSCs, the naM-CM-/ve-dominant enhancers are lost, and the seed enhancers take up primary transcriptional control. Seed enhancers have increased sequence conservation and show preferential usage in downstream somatic tissues, often expanding into super enhancers. We propose that seed enhancers ensure proper enhancer utilization and transcriptional fidelity as mammalian cells transition from naM-CM-/ve pluripotency to a somatic regulatory program.

Combinatorial patterning of chromatin regulators uncovered by genome-wide location analysis in human cells

Project description:Hundreds of Chromatin Regulators (CRs) control chromatin structure and function by catalyzing and binding histone modifications, yet the rules governing these key processes remain obscure. Here, we present a systematic approach to infer CR function. We developed ChIP-string, a meso-scale assay that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation with a signature readout of 487 representative loci. We applied ChIP-string to screen 145 antibodies, thereby identifying effective reagents, which we used to map the genome-wide binding of 29 CRs in two cell types. We found that specific combinations of CRs co-localize in characteristic patterns at distinct chromatin environments, genes of coherent functions and distal regulatory elements. When comparing between cell types, CRs redistribute to different loci, but maintain their modular and combinatorial associations. Our work provides a multiplex method that substantially enhances the ability to monitor CR binding, presents a large resource of CR maps, and reveals common principles for combinatorial CR function.

Epigenomic profiling of Non-small-cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) cells with or without Eed

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes (PRC) are frequently implicated in human cancer acting either as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Here we show that PRC2 is a critical regulator of Kras-driven non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression. Modulation of PRC2 by either Ezh2 overexpression or Eed deletion enhances Kras-driven adenomagenesis and inflammation, respectively. Eed-loss-driven inflammation leads to massive macrophage recruitment and marked decline in tissue function. Additional Trp53 inactivation activates a cell autonomous epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program leading to an invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. A switch between methylated/acetylated chromatin underlies the tumor phenotypic evolution, prominently involving genes controlled by Hippo/Wnt-signaling. Our observations in the mouse models were conserved in human cells. Importantly, PRC2 inactivation results in context-dependent phenotypic alterations, with implications for its therapeutic application. We generated ChIP-seq from primary Kras;p53 (KP) cells in culture with and without Eed (KPE) and from KP primary tumors generated by injection of NSCLC into the tail vein. Mice were sacrificed on the onset of shortness of breath. We generated genome-wide expression profiles (RNA-seq) and Nuclease Accessibility (NA)-seq in primary KP and KPE tumor cells. NA-seq was also performed in A549 cells.

Sequencing of First-strand cDNA Library Reveals Full-length Transcriptomes

Project description:We developed a new method of preparing libraries for strand-specific RNA sequencing (ssRNA-Seq). It employs Direct Ligation of Adaptors to First-strand cDNA (DLAF). We compared ssRNA-Seq libraries prepared using either the DLAF and dUTP methods from mouse embryonic stem cells (mES) and libraries were sequenced from one end or both ends. We also conducted a comparison of ssRNA-Seq libraries prepared using DLAF and ScriptSeq v2 kit (Epicenter) from mouse embryonic cortex (mECx). RNA was isolated using either Trizol or Qiagen Rneasy kit. rRNA is depleted using Eukaryote Ribominus v2 kit and libraries were prepared using one of the methods.

Genome-wide discovery of human splicing branchpoints [RNAse]

Project description:Gene splicing requires three basal genetic elements; the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y and 5M-bM-^@M-^Y splice sites and the branchpoint to which the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y intron termini is ligated to form a closed lariat during the splicing reaction. The 5M-bM-^@M-^Y and 3M-bM-^@M-^Y splice sites that define exon boundaries have been widely identified, revealing pervasive transcription and splicing of human genes. However, the locations of the third requisite element, the branchpoint, are still largely unknown. Here we employ two complementary approaches, targeted RNA sequencing and exoribonuclease digestion, to distil sequenced reads that traverse the lariat junction and, via non-conventional alignment, locate human branchpoint nucleotides. Alignments identify 88,748 branchpoints that correspond to 20% of known introns, with 76% supported by diagnostic sequence mismatch errors. This affords a first genome-wide analysis of branchpoints, describing their distribution, selection, and the existence of a diverse array of overlapping sequence motifs with distinct usage, evolutionary histories, and co-variation with distal splicing elements. The overlap of branchpoints with noncoding human genetic variation also indicates a notable contribution to disease. This annotation and analysis incorporates branchpoints into transcriptomic research and reflects a core role for this element in the regulatory code that governs gene splicing and expression.

BRACHYURY orchestrates distinct mesoderm and endoderm gene regulatory networks in differentiating human embryonic stem cells

Project description:The transcription factor BRACHYURY (T, BRA) is one of the first markers of gastrulation and lineage specification in mammals. Despite its wide use and importance in stem cell and developmental biology, its genomic targets are largely unknown. Here, we used differentiated human embryonic stem cells to study the role of BRA in Bmp4-induced mesoderm and Activin-induced endoderm progenitors by ChIP-seq. We show that BRA has distinct genome-wide binding landscapes in these two populations. Our data illuminate the function of BRA in the context of human embryonic development and show that the regulatory role of BRA is context-dependent. ChIP-seq of BRACHYURY (T, BRA) in two cell types: endoderm and mesoderm progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells after 36 hours of growth in chemically-defined media (described in Bernardo et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2011, 9:144-155). Input DNA samples are included as a control.
