Extensive Heterogeneity and Intrinsic Variation in Spatial Genome Organization

ABSTRACT: Several general principles of global 3D genome organization have recently been established, including non-random positioning of chromosomes and genes in the cell nucleus, distinct chromatin compartments, and topologically associating domains (TADs). However, the extent and nature of cell-to-cell and cell-intrinsic variability in genome architecture are still poorly characterized. Here, we systematically probe heterogeneity in genome organization. High-throughput optical mapping of several hundred intra-chromosomal interactions in individual human fibroblasts demonstrates low association frequencies, which are determined by genomic distance, higher-order chromatin architecture, and chromatin environment. The structure of TADs is variable between individual cells, and inter-TAD associations are common. Furthermore, single-cell analysis reveals independent behavior of individual alleles in single nuclei. Our observations reveal extensive variability and heterogeneity in genome organization at the level of individual alleles and demonstrate the coexistence of a broad spectrum of genome configurations in a cell population.

RB is a cell cycle-regulated repressor of cohesin-dependent loop formation

Project description:Chromatin organization and cell cycle are tightly intertwined in eukaryotes, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated how the retinoblastoma protein (RB), a key cell cycle regulator, influences chromatin architecture. Chromosome conformation capture assays reveal that RB loss increases the number and size of cohesin-dependent loops and strengthens topologically associating domains (TADs). RB shows extensive colocalization with cohesin in the human genome, and it impacts cohesin’s distribution on chromatin. Active RB evicted cohesin from RB-bound TAD boundaries, repressed insulator activity, and enhanced the expression of non-E2F target genes that are important for cell adhesion. We conclude that RB has a central role in the interplay between cell cycle and chromatin organization. This role safeguards chromatin architecture and controls transcription.

A single-cell method to map higher-order 3D genome organization in thousands of individual cells reveals structural heterogeneity in mouse ES cells

Project description:In eukaryotes, the nucleus is organized into a three dimensional structure consisting of both local interactions such as those between enhancers and promoters, and long-range higher-order structures such as nuclear bodies. This organization is central to many aspects of nuclear function, including DNA replication, transcription, and cell cycle progression. Nuclear structure intrinsically occurs within single cells; however, measuring such a broad spectrum of 3D DNA interactions on a genome-wide scale and at the single cell level has been a great challenge. To address this, we developed single-cell split-pool recognition of interactions by tag extension (scSPRITE), a new method that enables measurements of genome-wide maps of 3D DNA structure in thousands of individual nuclei. scSPRITE maximizes the number of DNA contacts detected per cell enabling high-resolution genome structure maps within each cells and is easy-to-use and cost-effective. scSPRITE accurately detects chromosome territories, active and inactive compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs), and higher-order structures within single cells. In addition, scSPRITE measures cell-to-cell heterogeneity in genome structure at different levels of resolution and shows that TADs are dynamic units of genome organization that can vary between different cells within a population. scSPRITE will improve our understanding of nuclear architecture and its relationship to nuclear function within an individual nucleus from complex cell types and tissues containing a diverse population of cells.

3D organization of chicken genome demonstrates evolutionary conservation of topologically associated domains and highlights unique architecture of erythrocytes’ chromatin [Hi-C]

Project description:We present the first Hi-C map of non-mammalian vertebrate, Gallus gallus (domestic chicken). We show the presence of TADs in chicken embryonic fibroblast genome, distributed in accordance with gene density, transcriptional activity, and CTCF binding sites localization. In contrast to mammals, where all examined cell types display relatively similar chromatin architecture profile, in mature and immature chicken erythrocytes we identify unique chromatin spatial organization strongly differed from fibroblasts. Comparing mammalian and chicken genome architectures, we provide evidence highlighting evolutionary role of spatial organization and their significance in genome activity and regulation.

Single-cell Hi-C reveals unique chromatin reorganization at oocyte-to-zygote transition

Project description:Chromatin is reorganized and reprogrammed after fertilization to produce a totipotent zygote with the potential to generate a new organism. In mammals, the maternal genome inherited through the oocyte and the paternal genome provided by sperm coexist as separate haploid nuclei in interphase of the first cell cycle. How these two epigenetically distinct genomes are spatially organized remains poorly understood. Existing chromosome conformation capture-based methods are inapplicable to oocytes and zygotes due to paucity of material. To study the three-dimensional organization of chromatin in rare cell types, we developed a simplified single-cell Hi-C (sscHi-C) protocol that provides 100-fold more contacts per cell than a previous method. Using sscHi-C, we show that chromatin architecture is uniquely reorganized during the oocyte-to-zygote transition. We found that major features of chromosome organization, compartments, domains and loops are all present in individual cells, with noticeable cell-to-cell variation and differences between male and female nuclei in zygotes. Compartments detected in male nuclei are notably absent from female nuclei, indicating these are the first mammalian interphase nuclei lacking this higher-order structure. While compartments in single cells closely resemble compartments from the cell population, TADs manifest themselves as contact domains (CDs) that differ from cell to cell, nevertheless averaging into TADs in pooled data. Finally, scaling of contact probability with genomic separations suggests that chromosome conformations in oocyte and zygote nuclei are fundamentally different and each are distinct from the global organization of chromosomes in other interphase cells. We conclude that chromatin organization of zygote nuclei is unique and can serve as the chromatin "ground state" of a totipotent cell.

Analysis of genome architecture during SCNT reveals a role of cohesin in impeding minor ZGA

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can reprogram a somatic nucleus to a totipotent state. However, the re-organization of three-dimensional chromatin structure in this process remains poorly understood. Using low-input Hi-C, we revealed that during SCNT, the transferred nucleus first enters a mitotic-like state (premature chromatin condensation). Unlike fertilized embryos, SCNT embryos show stronger TADs at the 1-cell stage. TADs become weaker at the 2-cell stage, followed by gradual consolidation. Compartments A/B are markedly weak in 1-cell SCNT embryos and become increasingly strengthened afterward. By the 8-cell stage, somatic chromatin architecture is largely reset to embryonic patterns. Unexpectedly, we found cohesin represses minor zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes (2-cell specific genes) in pluripotent and differentiated cells, and pre-depleting cohesin in donor cells facilitates minor ZGA and SCNT. These data reveal multi-step reprogramming of 3D chromatin architecture during SCNT and support dual roles of cohesin in TAD formation and minor ZGA repression.

Stable Chromosome Condensation Revealed by Chromosome Conformation Capture

Project description:Chemical cross-linking and high-throughput sequencing have revealed regions of intra-chromosomal interaction, referred to as topologically associating domains (TADs), interspersed with regions of little or no such interaction, in interphase nuclei. We find that TADs and the regions between them correspond with the bands and interbands of polytene chromosomes of Drosophila. We further establish the conservation of TADs between polytene and diploid cells of Drosophila. From direct measurements on light micrographs of polytene chromosomes, we then deduce the states of chromatin folding in the diploid cell nucleus. Two states of chromatin folding, fully extended fibers containing regulatory regions and promoters, and fibers condensed up to ten-fold containing coding regions of active genes, constitute the euchromatin of the nuclear interior. Chromatin fibers condensed up to 30-fold, containing coding regions of inactive genes, represent the heterochromatin of the nuclear periphery. A convergence of molecular analysis with direct observation thus reveals the architecture of interphase chromosomes. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

SATB1 Regulates 3D Genome Architecture in T cells by Constraining Chromatin Interactions surrounding CTCF-binding sites

Project description:SATB1, a nuclear matrix-associated protein, has long been proposed to function as a global chromatin loop organizer in T cells. However, the precise roles of SATB1 in chromatin organization remain elusive. Here we show that the depletion of SATB1 in immortalized T cells led to pronounced changes in gene expression, particularly for genes involved in cell proliferation and T cell activation, as well as 3D genome architecture at multiple scales, including the A/B compartment, topologically associating domains (TADs), and loops. Importantly, SATB1 extensively colocalizes with CTCF throughout the genome. Depletion of SATB1 led to increased association among the SATB1/CTCF co-occupied sites, as well as increased chromatin contacts across these sites, thereby altering the genome-wide chromatin loop landscape. SATB1 does not regulate genome architecture by modulating CTCF occupancy. Rather, the topological effects imposed by SATB1 may be attributed to SATB1-dependent anchoring of CTCF to the salt extraction-resistant nuclear matrix. Together, our findings suggest that the functional interplay between nuclear matrix and CTCF plays a critical role in orchestrating 3D genome organization.
