CTCF/cohesin-binding sites are frequently mutated in cancer

ABSTRACT: Cohesin is present in almost all active enhancer regions, where it is associated with transcription factors. Cohesin frequently colocalizes with CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor), affecting genomic stability, expression and epigenetic homeostasis. Cohesin subunits are mutated in cancer, but CTCF/cohesin-binding sites (CBSs) in DNA have not been examined for mutations. Here we report frequent mutations at CBSs in cancers displaying a mutational signature where mutations in A•T base pairs predominate. Integration of whole-genome sequencing data from 213 colorectal cancer (CRC) samples and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-exo) data identified frequent point mutations at CBSs. In contrast, CRCs showing an ultramutator phenotype caused by defects in the exonuclease domain of DNA polymerase ɛ (POLE) displayed significantly fewer mutations at and adjacent to CBSs. Analysis of public data showed that multiple cancer types accumulate CBS mutations. CBSs are a major mutational hotspot in the noncoding cancer genome.

Functional mutations form at CTCF-cohesin binding sites in melanoma due to uneven nucleotide excision repair across the motif

Project description:CTCF binding sites are frequently mutated in cancer, but how these mutations accumulate and whether they broadly perturb CTCF binding is not well understood. We report that skin cancers exhibit a highly-specific asymmetric mutation pattern within CTCF motifs attributable to ultraviolet irradiation and differential nucleotide excision repair (NER). CTCF binding site mutations form independent of replication timing and are enriched at sites of CTCF/cohesin complex binding, suggesting a role for cohesin in stabilizing CTCF-DNA binding and impairing NER. Performing CTCF ChIP-seq in a melanoma cell-line, we show CTCF binding site mutations to be functional by demonstrating allele-specific reduction of CTCF binding to mutant alleles. While topologically-associating domains with mutated CTCF anchors in melanoma contain differentially-expressed cancer-associated genes, CTCF motif mutations appear generally under neutral selection. However, the frequency and potential functional impact of such mutations in melanoma highlights the need to consider their impact on cellular phenotype in individual genomes.

Outward-oriented sites within clustered CTCF boundaries are key for intraTAD chromatin interactions and gene regulation [4C]

Project description:CTCF plays an important role in 3D genome organization by adjusting insulation at TAD boundaries, where clustered CBS (CTCF-binding site) elements are often arranged in tandem array with a complex divergent or convergent orientation. Here using cPcdh and HOXD loci as a paradigm, we look into the clustered CTCF TAD boundaries and find that, counterintuitively, outward-oriented CBS elements are crucial for inward enhancer-promoter interactions as well as for gene regulation. Specifically, by combinatorial deletions of a series of putative enhancer elements in vivo or CBS elements in vitro, in conjunction with chromosome conformation capture and RNA-seq analyses, we show that deletions of outward-oriented CBS elements weaken the strength of long-distance intraTAD promoter-enhancer interactions and enhancer activation of target genes. Our data highlight the crucial role of outward-oriented CBS elements within the clustered CTCF TAD boundaries and have interesting implications on the organization principles of clustered CTCF sites within TAD boundaries.

Atypical modes of CTCF binding facilitate tissue-specific and neuronal activity-dependent gene expression states [SMC1_ChIP-seq]

Project description:The multivalent binding of CTCF to a variety of DNA sequences is thought to underlie its ability to mediate a large repertoire of cellular functions. CTCF is a 11 zinc-finger (ZF) protein that is anchored to a majority of its target sites via binding to a 20 base-pair core DNA sequence. Yet the diversity of CTCF binding sites (CBS) has not fully been characterized. Here we assessed CTCF occupancy in cultured mouse cortical neurons as a function of neuronal activity and observed that ~ 22 % of CBS lack the consensus CTCF motif. We report that sequence diversity at most of these atypical CBS is not random but involves degeneracy at specific nucleotide positions within the core CTCF position weight matrix (PWM) that likely affect the binding of ZFs 6 and 7. Surprisingly, degeneracy at the same nucleotides not only define most atypical CBS, but also CBS within most gene promoters, and CBS that are dynamically altered following neuronal stimulation, revealing how atypical CTCF binding could affect gene activity. Dynamic CBS across neural differentiation and neuronal stimulation are found both within and outside loop anchors and TADs, indicating that dynamic CBS could regulate gene activity independently of loop anchoring. Finally, we identified a second mode of atypical CTCF binding that defines most tissue-specific CBS. Unlike other atypical CBS, tissue-specific CBS largely bind sequences unrelated to the core CTCF motif and are enriched within the bodies of tissue-specific genes. Overall, these results indicate how CTCF binding at atypical CBS could allow it to dynamically regulate gene activity patterns during differentiation, development, and in response to environmental cues.
