Xist Deletional Analysis Reveals an Interdependency between Xist RNA and Polycomb Complexes for Spreading along the Inactive X

ABSTRACT: During X-inactivation, Xist RNA spreads along an entire chromosome to establish silencing. However, the mechanism and functional RNA elements involved in spreading remain undefined. By performing a comprehensive endogenous Xist deletion screen, we identify Repeat B as crucial for spreading Xist and maintaining Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1/PRC2) along the inactive X (Xi). Unexpectedly, spreading of these three factors is inextricably linked. Deleting Repeat B or its direct binding partner, HNRNPK, compromises recruitment of PRC1 and PRC2. In turn, ablating PRC1 or PRC2 impairs Xist spreading. Therefore, Xist and Polycomb complexes require each other to propagate along the Xi, suggesting a positive feedback mechanism between RNA initiator and protein effectors. Perturbing Xist/Polycomb spreading causes failure of de novo Xi silencing, with partial compensatory downregulation of the active X, and also disrupts topological Xi reconfiguration. Thus, Repeat B is a multifunctional element that integrates interdependent Xist/ Polycomb spreading, silencing, and changes in chromosome architecture.

4sU-seq analysis of Xist-mediated chromosomal silencing

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play a key role in chromosome silencing by Xist RNA. Previously we have shown that initation of Polycomb recruitment is mediated by the PCGF3/5-PRC1 complex, which catalyses chromosome-wide H2A ubiquitylation (H2AK119u1), signalling recruitment of other PRC1 complexes, and PRC2. However, the molecular basis for PCGF3/5-PRC1 recruitment by Xist RNA remains unknown. Here we define the Xist RNA Polycomb Interaction Domain (XR-PID), a 600 nt element encompassing the Xist B-repeat element. XR-PID is required for Polycomb recruitment by Xist RNA, Xist-mediated chromosome silencing. We identify the RNA-binding protein hnRNPK as the principal XR-PID binding factor required to recruit PCGF3/5-PRC1. Accordingly, synthetically tethering hnRNPK to Xist RNA lacking the B-repeat is sufficient for Xist-dependent Polycomb recruitment. Our findings resolve the molecular mechanism for Polycomb recruitment by Xist RNA, providing key insights into chromatin modification by non-coding RNA.

High-resolution chromosomal maps of Xist RNA reveal a two-step spreading mechanism during X-inactivation

Project description:The Xist long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is essential for X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), the process by which mammals compensate for unequal numbers of sex chromosomes. During XCI, Xist coats the future inactive X (Xi) and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the X-inactivation center (Xic). Currently unclear is how Xist spreads silencing on a 150 Mb scale. Here we generate high-resolution maps of Xist binding across a developmental time course using CHART-seq. In female cells undergoing XCI de novo, Xist follows a two-step mechanism in which it initially targets gene-rich islands before spreading to intervening gene-poor domains. Xist is depleted from genes that escape XCI but frequently concentrates near escapee boundaries. Xist binding was linearly proportional to PRC2 density and H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), suggesting co-migration of Xist and PRC2. Interestingly, when the Xi is acutely stripped of Xist in post-XCI cells, Xist recovers quickly within both gene-rich and -poor domains on a time scale of hours instead of days, suggesting a previously primed Xi chromatin state. We conclude that Xist spreading takes on distinct stage-specific forms: During initial establishment, Xist follows a two-step mechanism, but during maintenance, Xist spreads rapidly to both gene-rich and -poor regions.

Calibrated ChIP-seq for Xist-mediated polycomb recruitment

Project description:Calibrated ChIP-seq was employed to quantitatively address the questions of how and where Xist recruits polycomb modifications (H2AK119ub and H3K27me3) to the inactive chromosome. 'Dox' samples were performed after 24 hours of induced Xist expression. Suz12 is the core enzymatic component of PRC2 while Pcgf3/5 are non-canonical PRC1 components which initiate the polycomb cascade in Xist-mediated chromosome inactivation. Xist PID region, encompassing the B-repeat and part of C-repeat, was characterized to bind hnRNPK directly, then recruit the Pcgf3/5. Notably, Suz12 KO does not affect Xist-dependent H2AK119ub deposition too much in a 24hour Xist induction.

Xist Repeats A and B account for two distinct phases of X-inactivation establishment

Project description:X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a global silencing mechanism by which XX and XY mammals equalize X-linked gene dosages. XCI begins with an establishment phase during which Xist RNA spreads and induces de novo heterochromatinization across a female X chromosome, and is followed by a maintenance phase when multiple epigenetic pathways lock down the inactive X (Xi) state. Involvement of Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 in XCI has been intensively studied, but with conflicting conclusions regarding their recruitment and role in Xi silencing. Here we reveal that establishment of XCI has two phases and reconcile the roles that Xist Repeats A and B play in gene silencing and Polycomb recruitment. Repeat A initiates both processes, whereas Repeat B bolsters or stabilizes them thereafter. Once established, XCI no longer requires Repeat A during maintenance. These findings integrate disparate studies and present a unified view of Xist?s role in Polycomb-mediated silencing.

An Xist-dependent protein assembly mediates Xist localization and gene silencing

Project description:Nuclear compartments play diverse roles in regulating gene expression, yet the molecular forces and components driving compartment formation are not well understood. Studying how the lncRNA Xist establishes the inactive-X-chromosome (Xi)-compartment, we found that the Xist RNA-binding-proteins PTBP1, MATR3, TDP43, and CELF1 form a condensate to create an Xi-domain that can be sustained in the absence of Xist. The E-repeat-sequence of Xist serves a multivalent binding-platform for these proteins. Without the E-repeat, Xist initially coats the X-chromosome during XCI onset but subsequently disperses across the nucleus with loss of gene silencing. Recruitment of PTBP1, MATR3, TDP-43 or CELF1 to E-Xist rescues these phenotypes, and requires both self-association of MATR3 and TDP-43 and a heterotypic PTBP1-MATR3-interaction. Together, our data reveal that Xist sequesters itself within the Xi-territory and perpetuates gene silencing by seeding a protein-condensate. Our findings uncover an unanticipated mechanism for epigenetic memory and elucidate the interplay between RNA and RNA-binding-proteins in creating compartments for gene regulation.

4sU-seq analysis for tethering hnRNPK to Xist lacking of XR-PID

Project description:Xist lacking of XR-PID (B-repeat and part of C-repeat) can't recruit the polycomb during X chromsome inactivation. The majoring of Xist-mediated chromosomal silencing wouldn’t be achieved. We found that hnRNPK was the one of main contributors for binding B-repeat of Xist. When we tethered hnRNPK to Xist which lacks of XR-PID region, the silencing and polycomb recruitment are restored.

Xist RNA targets selective autosomal genes to modulate expression in a Repeat B-dependent manner [RNA-seq]

Project description:Xist, a pivotal player in X chromosome inactivation (XCI), has long been perceived as a cis-acting long noncoding RNA that binds exclusively to the inactive X chromosome (Xi). However, Xist’s ability to diffuse under select circumstances has long been documented, leading us to suspect that Xist RNA may have targets and functions beyond the Xi. Here, using female mouse embryonic stem cells (ES) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) as a model, we demonstrate that Xist RNA indeed can spread beyond the Xi. However, its binding is limited to ~100 genes in differentiating ES and MEF cells. The target genes are diverse in function but are unified by their active chromatin status. Although active, Xist binding is associated with a downregulation of gene expression. Unlike on the Xi, Xist binding does not lead to full silencing and also does not spread beyond the target gene. Deleting Xist’s Repeat B (RepB) domain reduces Xist’s diffusion away from the Xi and inhibits Xist’s localization to autosomal targets. Nonetheless, Xist transcript lacking RepB fails to down-modulate autosomal gene expression. Altogether, our findings reveal Xist targets beyond the Xi and identify Repeat B as a crucial domain for its in-trans function.

A comprehensive Xist interactome reveals cohesin repulsion and an RNA-directed chromosome conformation

Project description:The inactive X chromosome (Xi) serves as a model to understand gene silencing on a global scale. Here, we perform identification of direct RNA interacting proteins? (iDRiP) to isolate a comprehensive protein interactome for Xist, an RNA required for Xi silencing. We discover multiple classes of interactors, including cohesins, condensins, topoisomerases, RNA helicases, chromatin remodelers and modifiers, which synergistically repress Xi transcription. Inhibiting two or three interactors destabilizes silencing. While Xist attracts some interactors, it repels architectural factors. Xist evicts cohesins from the Xi and directs an Xi-specific chromosome conformation. Upon deleting Xist, the Xi acquires the cohesin-binding and chromosomal architecture of the active X. Our study unveils many layers of Xi repression and demonstrates a central role for RNA in the topological organization of mammalian chromosomes. The RNA-seq data sets generated in this study provide a resource for examining the effects of knockdowns of various Xist-interacting proteins on gene expression. The ChIP-seq data sets provide a comprehensive set of data examining CTCF and cohesion binding the X-chromosome, and the effects of deleting Xist on CTCF and cohesion binding. The Hi-C data is an allele-specific contact map of the X-chromosome higher-order chromatin structure in mouse. RNA-seq in 3 control and 10 knockdown cell lines. ChIP-seq for CTCF, Rad21 and Smc1a in wild-type fibroblasts and Xist-deletion fibroblasts. Hi-C in wild-type and Xist-deletion fibroblasts.
