P63 cooperates with CTCF to modulate chromatin architecture in skin keratinocytes.


ABSTRACT: The transcription factor p63 regulates epidermal genes and the enhancer landscape in skin keratinocytes. Its molecular function in controlling the chromatin structure is, however, not yet completely understood. Here, we integrated multi-omics profiles, including the transcriptome, transcription factor DNA-binding and chromatin accessibility, in skin keratinocytes isolated from EEC syndrome patients carrying p63 mutations, to examine the role of p63 in shaping the chromatin architecture. We found decreased chromatin accessibility in p63- and CTCF-bound open chromatin regions that potentially contributed to gene deregulation in mutant keratinocytes. Cooperation of p63 and CTCF seemed to assist chromatin interactions between p63-bound enhancers and gene promoters in skin keratinocytes. Our study suggests an intriguing model where cell type-specific transcription factors such as p63 cooperate with the genome organizer CTCF in the three-dimensional chromatin space to regulate the transcription program important for the proper cell identity.
