Inducible repositioning of genes to the inner nuclear membrane

ABSTRACT: Nuclear compartmentalization appears to play an important role in regulating metazoan genes. While studies on immunoglobulin (Ig) and other loci have correlated positioning at the nuclear lamina with gene repression, the functional consequences of this compartmentalization remain untested. We devised an approach for inducible tethering of genes to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and demonstrate with 3D DNA-ImmunoFISH, repositioning of chromosomal regions to the nuclear lamina. Relocalization requires mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown and reformation. Tethering leads to the accumulation of lamin and INM proteins but not to association with pericentromeric heterochromatin or nuclear pore complexes. Recruitment of genes to the INM can result in their transcriptional repression. Using DamID we show that as is the case for our model system, inactive Ig loci at the nuclear periphery are contacted by INM and lamina components. We propose that such molecular interactions are used to compartmentalize and limit the accessibility of Ig loci. Keywords: Inducible

A molecular mechanism for compartmentalization and silencing of chromatin domains at the nuclear lamina [ChIP-seq]

Project description:A large fraction of the mammalian genome is organized into inactive chromosomal domains associated with the nuclear lamina. Using genomic repositioning assays we show that Lamina associated domains (LADs), spanning the developmentally regulated IgH and Cyp3a loci, contain transportable DNA regions that associate chromatin with the nuclear lamina and repress gene activity in fibroblasts. We characterized DNA regions within LADs that are functionally capable of positioning chromatin domains at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) lamina. We mapped and characterized the IgH and other LADs in murine fibroblasts. We show that these murine LADs have a unique chromatin structure with discrete boundaries. We demonstrate DNA regions within LADs that are capable of directing the association of chromatin domains with the INM-lamina as well as the silencing of a co-integrated reporter gene.

Requirement for Sun1 in the expression of meiotic reproductive genes and piRNA

Project description:The inner nuclear envelope (NE) proteins interact with the nuclear lamina and participate in the architectural compartmentalization of chromosomes. The association of NE proteins with DNA contributes to the spatial rearrangement of chromosomes and their gene expression. Sun1 is an inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein that locates to telomeres and anchors chromosome movement in the prophase of meiosis. Here, we have created Sun1-/- mice and found that these mice are born and grow normally but are reproductively infertile. Detailed molecular analyses showed that Sun1-/- P14 testes are repressed for the expression of reproductive genes and have no detectable piRNA. These findings raise a heretofore unrecognized role of Sun1 in the selective gene expression of coding and non-coding RNAs needed for gemetogenesis. Total RNA was isolated from E14.5 mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and and day 9 and 14 mouse whole testes. cDNA samples from paired (same parents) wt (Cy3-labled) and Sun1-/- (Cy5-labled) mice were mixed and hybridized.

The large GTPase AtGBPL3 links nuclear envelope formation to lamina-associated gene silencing [RNA-seq]

Project description:Guanylate Binding Proteins (GBPs) are prominent regulators of immunity unknown to be required for nuclear envelope formation and function. The Arabidopsis GBP orthologue AtGBPL3 was identified as a novel component of the plant lamina, with essential functions in mitotic nuclear envelope reformation. AtGBPL3 is preferentially expressed in mitotically active root tips, accumulates at the nuclear envelope and interacts with further components of the nuclear lamina. To investigate effects of defective lamina components on gene expression, we analysed the transcriptomes of 4 day old wild-type, gbpl3-5, crwn4-1, crwn1-1crwn4-1, as well as gbpl3-5 mutants expressing GBPL3-GFP or the GTPase-dead GBPL3(K83A)-GFP under control of the AtGBPL3-promoter.

Spatial Compartmentalization at the Nuclear Periphery Characterized by Genome-wide Mapping

Project description:How gene positioning to the nuclear periphery regulates transcription remains largely unclear. We have previously observed the differential compartmentalization of transcription factors and histone modifications at the nuclear periphery in mouse C2C12 myoblasts. Here, we have integrated high throughput DNA sequencing into the DNA adenine methyltransferase identification (DamID) assay, and have identified ~15, 000 sequencing-based Lamina-Associated Domains (sLADs) in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and C2C12 myoblasts. These genomic regions range from a few kb to over 1 Mb and cover ~30% of the genome, and are spatially proximal to the nuclear lamina (NL). Active histone modifications such as H3K4me2, H3K9Ac, H3K36me3 and H3K79me2 are all localized away from the nuclear periphery microscopically, and distributed predominantly out of sLADs genome-wide. Therefore, the spatial compartmentalization of active histone modifications likely characterizes a major portion of chromatin at the nuclear periphery in mammalian cells. Genomic regions around transcription start sites of expressed sLAD genes display reduced associations with the NL and possess active histone modifications; in contrast, gene bodies of expressed sLAD genes possess very low levels of active histone modifications. Our genome-wide analyses of NL-associated chromatin have enabled functional and mechanistic dissections of gene positioning on transcription regulation. generate DamID maps of genome-NL interaction for mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and C2C12 myoblasts

Stochastic genome-nuclear lamina interactions: Modulating roles of Lamin A and BAF

Project description:The nuclear lamina (NL) is a filamentous layer lining the inner-nuclear-membrane (INM) that aids in the organization of the genome in large domains of low transcriptional activity. Recently, it was shown that the single-cell genome-NL interactions are much more dynamic than previously anticipated, which challenges the concept of the NL as a safe guard for transcriptional repressed genes. Here we discuss the role of the NL in light of these new findings and introduce Lamin A and BAF as potential modulators of LAD positioning

Mapping the micro-proteome of the nuclear lamina and lamin associated domains

Project description:The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous network of filaments that provide both structural and gene regulatory functions by tethering proteins and large domains of DNA, so-called lamin associated domains (LADs), to the periphery of the nucleus. LADs are a large fraction of the mammalian genome that are repressed, in part, by their association to the nuclear periphery. The genesis and maintenance of LADs is poorly understood as are the proteins that participate in these functions. In an effort to identify proteins that reside at the nuclear periphery and potentially interact with LADs, we have taken a two-pronged approach. First, we have undertaken an interactome analysis of the inner nuclear membrane bound LAP2β to further characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. To accomplish this, we have leveraged the BioID system, which previously has been successfully used to characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. Second, we have established a system to identify proteins that bind to LADs by developing a chromatin directed BioID system. We combined the BioID system with the m6A-tracer system which binds to LADs in live cells to identify LAD proximal and nuclear lamina proteins. In combining these datasets, we have further characterized the protein network at the nuclear lamina as well as identified putative LAD proximal proteins. Our analysis identifies many heterochromatin related proteins related to H3K9 methylation processes as well as many proteins related to cell cycle regulation identifying important proteins essential for LAD function.
