ChIPseq on H3K27ac, H3K27me3 and H2AK119Ub on TXY cell line

ABSTRACT: During development, changes in gene transcription are accompanied by changes in chromatin modification but the order and causality of events often remain unclear. Here we address this question using X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), which entails chromosome-wide gene silencing and heterochromatin formation. We initiate XCI in female, mouse embryonic stem cells by inducing Xist expression and monitor subsequent changes in transcription and chromatin modification by allele-specific TTseq and ChIPseq respectively. An unprecedented temporal resolution has enabled us to define early alterations in chromatin that are induced upon Xist RNA coating. Xist-induced repression begins with histone deacetylation, which involves the histone deacetylase HDAC3 and occurs before efficient loss of H3K4me3 and H3K4me1 modifications. Polycomb-associated repressive histone marks accumulate rapidly, starting with PRC1-associated H2AK119Ub and followed by PRC2-associated H3K27me3. However, polycomb accumulates initially at large premarked domains, some of which correspond to Xist entry sites, and then spreads into genes. We also show that spreading can only ensue when transcriptional silencing has occurred. These results establish a detailed epigenomic time course for XCI and reveal a hierarchy of events with chromatin playing an important role in transcriptional silencing of the X chromosome.

The role of early chromatin changes in X chromosome inactivation

Project description:During development, transcriptional and chromatin modification changes co-occur but the order and causality of events often remain unclear. We explore the interrelationship of these processes using the paradigm of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). We initiate XCI in female, mouse embryonic stem cells by inducing Xist expression and monitor changes in transcription and chromatin by allele-specific TT-seq and ChIP-seq respectively. An unprecedented temporal resolution enabled identification of the earliest chromatin alterations during XCI. We demonstrate that HDAC3 interacts with both NCOR1 and NCOR2 and is pre-bound on the X chromosome where it deacetylates histones to promote efficient gene silencing. We also reveal the choreography of polycomb accumulation following Xist RNA coating, with PRC1-associated H2AK119Ub preceding PRC2-associated H3K27me3. Furthermore, polycomb-associated marks accumulate initially at large, intergenic domains and then spreads into genes but only in the context of gene silencing. Our results provide the hierarchy of chromatin events during XCI and demonstrate that some chromatin changes play key roles in mediating transcriptional silencing.

SPEN is a molecular integrator that bridges Xist with transcriptional and epigenetic control of X-chromosome inactivation

Project description:Xist represents a paradigm for long non-coding RNA function in epigenetic regulation, although how it mediates X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) remains largely unexplained. Multiple Xist-RNA binding proteins have recently been identified, including SPEN/SHARP, whose knockdown has been associated with deficient XCI at multiple loci. Here we demonstrate that SPEN is a key orchestrator of XCI in vivo and unravel its mechanism of action. We show that SPEN is essential for initiating gene silencing on the X chromosome in preimplantation mouse embryos and embryonic stem cells. On the other hand, SPEN is dispensable for maintenance of XCI in neural progenitor cells, although it significantly dampens expression of genes that escape from XCI. During initiation of XCI, we show by live-cell imaging and CUT&RUN approaches that SPEN is immediately recruited to the X chromosome upon Xist up-regulation, where it is targeted to enhancers and promoters of actively transcribed genes. SPEN rapidly disengages from chromatin once silencing is accomplished, implying a need for active transcription to tether it to chromatin. We define SPEN’s SPOC (SPEN paralog and ortholog C-terminal) domain as a major effector of SPEN’s gene silencing function, and show that artificial tethering of SPOC to Xist RNA is sufficient to mediate X-linked gene silencing. We identify SPOC’s protein partners which include NCOR/SMRT, the m6A RNA methylation machinery, the NuRD complex, RNA polymerase II and factors involved in regulation of transcription initiation and elongation. We propose that SPEN acts as a molecular integrator for initiation of XCI, bridging Xist RNA with the transcription machinery as well as nucleosome remodelers and histone deacetylases, at active enhancers and promoters.

XIST dampens X chromosome activity in a SPEN-dependent manner during early human development [RAP-seq]

Project description:XIST long non-coding RNA is responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in placental mammals, yet it accumulates on both X chromosomes in human female pre-implantation embryos without triggering X chromosome silencing. The long non-coding RNA XACT co-accumulates with XIST on active Xs and may antagonize XIST function. Here we used human ES cells in a naïve state of pluripotency to assess the function of XIST and XACT in shaping the X chromosome chromatin and transcriptional landscapes during pre-implantation development. We show that XIST triggers the deposition of polycomb-mediated repressive histone modifications and attenuates transcription of most X-linked genes in a SPEN-dependent manner, while XACT deficiency does not significantly affect XIST activity or X-linked gene expression. Our study demonstrates that XIST is functional prior to XCI, confirms the existence of a transient process of X chromosome dosage compensation, and reveals that X chromosome inactivation and dampening rely on the same set of factors.
