Topological isolation as a mechanism for precise control of developmental regulators in mammalian genomes [4C-seq]

ABSTRACT: Recent investigation of insulated chromosome structures suggests their crucial role in controlling proper gene expression. However, it remains unclear whether developmental regulators can be precisely controlled by such insulated structures and whether developmental failure is caused by disrupting the structure boundaries. Here we identified topologically insulated regions (TIRs) from deeply sequenced human embryonic stem cell (hESC) Hi-C data and analyzed the gene distribution across TIRs. We find a notable enrichment of developmental regulators isolated from other genes by TIRs and show that the boundary CTCF sites are highly conserved across species. Perturbation of such boundaries in hESCs leads to failure to properly differentiate. Enhancer activity is restricted by such boundaries, further pointing towards their regulatory importance. Finally, germline mutations affecting such boundaries are subject to purifying selection and are underrepresented in the human population. Our findings provide new insights into mammalian genome organization and suggest a possible role of gene insulation through chromosomal folding structures for precise control of developmental regulators.

Topological isolation as a mechanism for precise control of developmental regulators in mammalian genomes [HiC]

Project description:Developmental regulators are spatiotemporal regulated in the process of human development. Recent investigation of insulated chromosome structures suggests their crucial role in control of proper gene expression. However, it’s unclear whether developmental regulators can be precisely controlled by such insulated structures and whether developmental failure can be caused by disrupting the structure boundaries. Here we identified topologically insulated regions (TIRs) from deeply sequenced human embryonic stem cell (hESC) Hi-C data and analyzed the gene distribution across TIRs. We found a notable enrichment of developmental regulators isolated from other genes by TIRs and show that the boundary CTCF sites are highly conserved across species. Perturbation of such boundaries in hESCs leads to the differentiation failure. Germline mutations affecting such boundaries are subject to purifying selection, and are underrepresented in the human population. Further analyses demonstrated the enhancer activity is restricted by such boundaries that further points towards regulatory importance. Our findings provide new insights into mammalian genome organization and including a possible role of gene insulation through chromosomal folding structures for precise control of developmental regulators.

Activation of proto-oncogenes by disruption of chromosome neighborhoods [5C-Seq]

Project description:Mutations such as gene fusion, translocation and focal amplification are a frequent cause of proto-oncogene activation during tumorigenesis, but such mutations do not explain all cases of proto-oncogene activation. Here we show that disruption of local chromosome conformation can also activate proto-oncogenes in human cells. We mapped chromosome structures in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and found that active oncogenes and silent proto-oncogenes generally occur within insulated neighborhoods formed by the looping of two interacting CTCF sites co-occupied by cohesin. Recurrent microdeletions frequently overlap neighborhood boundary sites in T-ALL genomes, and we demonstrate that site-specific perturbation of loop boundaries is sufficient to activate the respective proto-oncogenes in non-malignant cells. We found somatic genomic rearrangements affecting loop boundaries in many cancers. These results suggest that chromosome structural organization is fundamental to identify functional somatic alterations in cancer genomes.

Comparative genomic hybridization Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) strains

Project description:The chromosomes of several widely used laboratory derivatives of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) were found to have 1.06 Mb inverted repeat sequences at their termini (i.e. long-terminal inverted repeats; L-TIRs), which are 50 times the length of the 22 kb TIRs of the sequenced S. coelicolor strain M145. The L-TIRs include 1005 annotated genes and increase the overall chromosome size to 9.7 Mb. The 1.06 Mb L-TIRs are the longest reported thus far for an actinomycete, and are proposed to represent the chromosomal state of the original soil isolate of S. coelicolor A3(2). S. coelicolor A3(2), M600 and J1501 possess L-TIRs, whereas approximately half the examined early mutants of A3(2) generated by ultraviolet (UV) or X-ray mutagenesis have truncated their TIRs to the 22 kb length. UV radiation was found to stimulate L-TIR truncation. Two copies of a transposase gene (SCO0020) flank 1.04 Mb of DNA in the right L-TIR, and recombination between them appears to generate strains containing short TIRs. This TIR reduction mechanism may represent a general strategy by which transposable elements can modulate the structure of chromosome ends. The presence of L-TIRs in certain S. coelicolor strains represents a major chromosomal alteration in strains previously thought to be genetically similar.
