KDM1A maintains genome-wide homeostasis of transcriptional enhancers.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional enhancers enable exquisite spatiotemporal control of gene expression in metazoans. Enrichment of monomethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1) is a major chromatin signature of transcriptional enhancers. Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 1A (KDM1A, also known as LSD1), an H3K4me2/me1 demethylase, inactivates stem-cell enhancers during the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, its role in undifferentiated mESCs remains obscure. Here, we show that KDM1A actively maintains the optimal enhancer status in both undifferentiated and lineage-committed cells. KDM1A occupies a majority of enhancers in undifferentiated mESCs. KDM1A levels at enhancers exhibit clear positive correlations with its substrate H3K4me2, H3K27ac, and transcription at enhancers. In Kdm1a-deficient mESCs, a large fraction of these enhancers gains additional H3K4 methylation, which is accompanied by increases in H3K27 acetylation and increased expression of both enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) and target genes. In postmitotic neurons, loss of KDM1A leads to premature activation of neuronal activity-dependent enhancers and genes. Taken together, these results suggest that KDM1A is a versatile regulator of enhancers and acts as a rheostat to maintain optimal enhancer activity by counterbalancing H3K4 methylation at enhancers.

Super-enhancers in transcriptional regulation and genome organization.

Project description:Gene expression is precisely controlled in a stage and cell-type-specific manner, largely through the interaction between cis-regulatory elements and their associated trans-acting factors. Where these components aggregate in promoters and enhancers, they are able to cooperate to modulate chromatin structure and support the engagement in long-range 3D superstructures that shape the dynamics of a cell's genomic architecture. Recently, the term 'super-enhancer' has been introduced to describe a hyper-active regulatory domain comprising a complex array of sequence elements that work together to control the key gene networks involved in cell identity. Here, we survey the unique characteristics of super-enhancers compared to other enhancer types and summarize the recent advances in our understanding of their biological role in gene regulation. In particular, we discuss their capacity to attract the formation of phase-separated condensates, and capacity to generate three-dimensional genome structures that precisely activate their target genes. We also propose a multi-stage transition model to explain the evolutionary pressure driving the development of super-enhancers in complex organisms, and highlight the potential for involvement in tumorigenesis. Finally, we discuss more broadly the role of super-enhancers in human health disorders and related potential in therapeutic interventions.

Genome-wide identification of transcriptional enhancers During human placental development and association with function, differentiation, and disease.

Project description:The placenta is a dynamic organ which must perform a remarkable variety of functions during its relatively short existence in order to support a developing fetus. These functions include nutrient delivery, gas exchange, waste removal, hormone production, and immune barrier functions. Proper placenta development and function is critical for healthy pregnancy outcomes, but the underlying genomic regulatory events that control this process remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that mapping sites of transcriptional enhancer activity and associated changes in gene expression across gestation in human placenta tissue would identify genomic loci and predicted transcription factor activity related to critical placenta functions. We used a suite of genomic assays (i.e. RNA-seq, PRO-seq, ChIP-seq) and computational pipelines to identify a set of >20,000 enhancers which are active at various time points in gestation. Changes in the activity of these enhancers correlate with changes in gene expression. In addition, some of these enhancers encode risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. We further show that integrating enhancer activity, transcription factor motif analysis, and transcription factor expression can identify distinct sets of transcription factors predicted to be more active either in early pregnancy or at term. Knockdown of selected identified transcription factors in a trophoblast stem cell culture model altered the expression of key placental marker genes. These observations provide a framework for future mechanistic studies of individual enhancer-transcription factor-target gene interactions and have the potential to inform genetic risk prediction for adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Genome-wide profiling of transcribed enhancers during macrophage activation.

Project description:BackgroundMacrophages are sentinel cells essential for tissue homeostasis and host defence. Owing to their plasticity, macrophages acquire a range of functional phenotypes in response to microenvironmental stimuli, of which M(IFN-γ) and M(IL-4/IL-13) are well known for their opposing pro- and anti-inflammatory roles. Enhancers have emerged as regulatory DNA elements crucial for transcriptional activation of gene expression.ResultsUsing cap analysis of gene expression and epigenetic data, we identify on large-scale transcribed enhancers in bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages, their time kinetics, and target protein-coding genes. We observe an increase in target gene expression, concomitant with increasing numbers of associated enhancers, and find that genes associated with many enhancers show a shift towards stronger enrichment for macrophage-specific biological processes. We infer enhancers that drive transcriptional responses of genes upon M(IFN-γ) and M(IL-4/IL-13) macrophage activation and demonstrate stimuli specificity of regulatory associations. Finally, we show that enhancer regions are enriched for binding sites of inflammation-related transcription factors, suggesting a link between stimuli response and enhancer transcriptional control.ConclusionsOur study provides new insights into genome-wide enhancer-mediated transcriptional control of macrophage genes, including those implicated in macrophage activation, and offers a detailed genome-wide catalogue of transcribed enhancers in bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages.

Enhancers and genome conformation provide complex transcriptional control of a herpesviral gene

Project description:Complex transcriptional control is a conserved feature of both eukaryotes and the viruses that infect them. Here, we illustrate this by combining high-density functional genomics, expression profiling, and viral-specific chromosome conformation capture to define with unprecedented detail the transcriptional regulation of a single gene, ORF68, from Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). We first identified seven cis-regulatory regions by densely tiling the ~154 kb KSHV genome with CRISPRi. A parallel Cas9 nuclease screen indicated that three of these regions act as promoters of genes that regulate ORF68. RNA expression profiling demonstrated that three more of these regions act by either repressing or enhancing other distal viral genes involved in ORF68 transcriptional regulation. Finally, we tracked how the 3D structure of the viral genome changes during its lifecycle, revealing that these enhancing regulatory elements are physically closer to their targets when active, and that disrupting some elements caused large-scale changes to the 3D genome. These data enable us to construct a complete model revealing that the mechanistic diversity of this essential regulatory circuit matches that of human genes.
