Interplay between FLI-1 and the LDB1 complex in murine erythroleukemia cells and during megakaryopoiesis.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors are key players in a broad range of cellular processes such as cell-fate decision. Understanding how they act to control these processes is of critical importance for therapy purposes. FLI-1 controls several hematopoietic lineage differentiation including megakaryopoiesis and erythropoiesis. Its aberrant expression is often observed in cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. We showed that FLI-1 interacts with the LDB1 complex, which also plays critical roles in erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis. In this study, we aimed to unravel how FLI-1 and the LDB1 complex act together in murine erythroleukemia cells and in megakaryocyte. Combining omics techniques, we show that FLI-1 enables the recruitment of the LDB1 complex to regulatory sequences of megakaryocytic genes and to enhancers. We show as well for the first time that FLI-1 is able to modulate the 3D chromatin organization by promoting chromatin looping between enhancers and promoters most likely through the LDB1 complex.

Project description:The intimate synapsis of homologous chromosome pairs (homologs) by synaptonemal complexes (SCs) is an essential feature of meiosis. In many organisms, synapsis and homologous recombination are interdependent: recombination promotes SC formation and SCs are required for crossing-over. Moreover, several studies indicate that initiation of SC assembly occurs at sites where crossovers will subsequently form. However, recent analyses in budding yeast and fruit fly imply a special role for centromeres in the initiation of SC formation. In addition, in budding yeast, persistent SC-dependent centromere-association facilitates the disjunction of chromosomes that have failed to become connected by crossovers. Here, we examine the interplay between SCs, recombination, and centromeres in a mammal. In mouse spermatocytes, centromeres do not serve as SC initiation sites and are invariably the last regions to synapse. However, centromeres are refractory to de-synapsis during diplonema and remain associated by short SC fragments. Since SC-dependent centromere association is lost before diakinesis, a direct role in homolog segregation seems unlikely. However, post-SC disassembly, we find evidence of inter-centromeric connections that could play a more direct role in promoting homolog biorientation and disjunction. A second class of persistent SC fragments is shown to be crossover-dependent. Super-resolution structured-illumination microscopy (SIM) reveals that these structures initially connect separate homolog axes and progressively diminish as chiasmata form. Thus, DNA crossing-over (which occurs during pachynema) and axis remodeling appear to be temporally distinct aspects of chiasma formation. SIM analysis of the synapsis and crossover-defective mutant Sycp1?/? implies that SCs prevent unregulated fusion of homolog axes. We propose that SC fragments retained during diplonema stabilize nascent bivalents and help orchestrate local chromosome reorganization that promotes centromere and chiasma function.
