CHARACTERIZATION AND DYNAMICS OF MOUSE PERICENTROMERE-ASSOCIATED DOMAINS

ABSTRACT: Despite recent progress in genome topology knowledge, the role of repeats, comprising the majority of mammalian genomes, remains elusive. Satellites are highly abundant sequences that cluster around centromeres, attract pericentromeric heterochromatin and aggregate into nuclear chromocenters that are assumed to form a repressive compartment in the nucleus to which genes are recruited for silencing. Here we designed a strategy for genome-wide identification of pericentromere-associated domains (PADs) in different mouse cell types. The ~1000 PADs and non-PADs have similar chromatin states in embryonic stem cells. During lineage commitment however chromocenters progressively overlap with constitutively inactive genomic regions at the nuclear periphery. This suggests that chromocenters do not actively recruit PADs but are themselves attracted to inactive chromatin compartments. However, we also found that experimentally induced proximity of an active locus to chromocenters was sufficient to cause gene repression. Collectively, our data suggests that rather than being a driver of nuclear organization, pericentromeric satellite repeats mostly co-segregate with inactive genomic regions to nuclear compartments where they can contribute to stably maintaining the repressed status of proximal chromosomal regions. We performed satellite 4C (sat4C) on mouse primary thymus tissue, pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) and neural precursor cells (NPC) and terminally differentiated astrocytes (AC) that were sequentially derived from these ESC in vitro

Project description:Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a Ser/Thr phosphatase that has been implicated in many key cellular functions including transcriptional regulation. Due to its involvement these many processes, it becomes difficult to directly link PP1 to transcriptional regulation on the chromatin level as no direct genomic binding sites have been identified. Previous work has failed to address this as the most common method used, namely chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), is an antibody-dependent technique and currently no ChIP-grade PP1 antibodies have been developed. Using DamID, an alternative to ChIP, we have identified PP1 isoform-specific binding sites on the promoter regions of genes. We also identified the binding sites of three main PP1 regulatory subunits (R-subunits) in order to identify potential PP1 holo-enzymes binding sites. Our study revealed the full extent of PP1 isoform specific binding an allowed us to investigate the dependency of the R-subunits on PP1 for chromatin targeting. This data establishes PP1 as a chromatin interactor and allow for the identification of direct effects PP1 can have on the regulation of the genes on whose promoter it is bound. HeLa stable cell lines were created using constructs derived from pIND-(V5)-EcoDam. These constructs express trace amounts of Dam or C-terminal fusions with PP1α, PP1β, PP1γ and three R-subunits, PNUTS, NIPP1 and RepoMan, both wildtype (WT) and their PP1-binding mutants (RATA). Two independent stable cell lines were set up for each of the constructs. DamID-DNA was labeled and hybridized to a GeneChip Human Promoter 1.0R Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The tiling array readouts were analyzed with the “model-based analysis of tiling arrays” (MAT) algorithm (version 1.0.0) against the hg19 reference genome. We normalized two biological replicates of each Dam-fusion over two Dam-only biological replicates. Each biological repeat consisted of 2 technical repeats pooled together prior to hybridization to the tiling array.
