Core components of the nuclear pore bind distinct states of chromatin and contribute to Polycomb repression I

ABSTRACT: Interactions between the genome and the nuclear pore complex (NPC) have been implicated in multiple gene regulatory processes, but the underlying logic of these interactions remains poorly defined. Here, we report high-resolution chromatin binding maps of two core components of the NPC, Nup107 and Nup93, which reveal differential binding of these NPC subunits to active genes and Polycomb-covered silent regions, respectively. Comparison to Lamin-associated domains (LADs) revealed that NPC binding sites are often found within LADs, demonstrating a linear binding of the genome along the nuclear envelope. Significantly, we identified a functional role of Nup93 in silencing of Polycomb target genes and in spatial folding of Polycomb domains. Our findings lend to a model where nuclear pores bind different types of chromatin via interactions with specific core sub-complexes of the NPC, and the Nup93 sub-complex functions as a stabilizing scaffold for Polycomb domains.

Project description:Purpose: Many mammalian genes exhibit circadian expression patterns concordant with periodic binding of transcription factors, chromatin modifications and chromosomal interactions. We determined whether lamina-associated domains (LADs) display oscillatory circadian patterns of interaction with nuclear lamin B1 during hte circadian cycle, and identified any relationship to changes in gene expression patterns in oscillatory LADs or in their vinicity. Methods: To this end, we mapped LADs by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) of lamin B1 (LMNB1) (antibody ab16048, Abcam) from mouse livers colected every 6 h, for 30 h, after entrainment of the circadian clock by 24-h fasting and refeeding. Gene expression profiles were also analyzed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) at the same time points. Results and Conclusions: We report periodic interactions of chromatin domains with nuclear lamin B1, suggesting rhythmic associations of fractions of the genome with the nuclear lamina. Entrainment of the circadian clock by fasting and refeeding is accompanied in mouse liver by a gain of lamin-chromatin interactions followed by oscillations in these interactions at hundreds of lamina-associated domains (LADs). A subset of these oscillations exhibit periodicity and affect one or both LAD borders or entire stand-alone LADs. Periodic LADs are however not a dominant feature of these variable LADs, as most LADs are conserved during the circadian cycle. LAD oscillations are for the most part asynchronous between the 5’ and 3’ ends of LADs. Periodic LADs also uncoupled from gene expression patterns, periodic or not, within or in vicinity of these LADs. Accordingly, periodic genes, including central clock-control genes, are located megabases away from LADs, suggesting their residence in a transcriptionally permissive environment throughout the circadian cycle. Our data suggest autonomous oscillatory associations of fractions of the genome with the nuclear lamina, providing new evidence for rhythmic spatial configurations of chromatin. However, our data also argue that periodic LADs constitute a minor fraction of variable LADs, and reflect stochasticity in variable lamin-chromatin interactions during the circadian cycle.
