A lamina-associated domain border governs nuclear lamina interactions, transcription and recombination of the Tcrb locus [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Tcrb locus V(D)J recombination is regulated by positioning at the nuclear periphery. Here we used DamID to profile Tcrb locus interactions with the nuclear lamina at high-resolution. We identified a lamina-associated domain (LAD) border composed of several CTCF binding elements that segregates active non-LAD from inactive LAD regions of the locus. Deletion of the LAD border caused an enhancer-dependent spread of H3K27ac from the active recombination center into recombination center-proximal LAD chromatin. This was associated with a disruption to LAD organization, increased chromatin looping to the recombination center, and increased transcription and recombination of recombination center-proximal gene segments. Our results show that a Tcrb locus LAD and LAD border are critical components of Tcrb locus gene regulation and suggest that LAD borders may generally function to constrain the activity of nearby enhancers.
