Tetrahymena thermophila macronucleus chromosomes originate from chromatin breakage sequence defined TAD-like structures in micronucleus chromosomes

ABSTRACT: The somatic macronucleus (MAC) and germline micronucleus (MIC) of Tetrahymena thermophila differ in chromosome numbers, sizes, functions, transcriptional activities, and cohesin complex location. However, the higher-order chromatin organization in T. thermophila which contains both cohesin free MAC and cohesin located MIC are largely unknown. Here, we examined the higher-order chromatin organization in the two distinct nuclei of T. thermophila using the Hi-C and HiChIP. Interestingly, we found that the crescent MIC possess specific chromosome interaction pattern. All the telomeres or centromeres on the five MIC chromosomes clustering together, respectively, which could help to identify the midpoints of centromeres in the MIC. We found the transcriptionally active MAC chromosomes lack A/B compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs) and chromatin loops. The transcriptionally inert MIC chromosomes also without A/B compartments and chromatin loops, but have TAD-like structures. The boundaries of the TAD-like structures in the MIC were highly consistent with the chromatin breakage sequence (CBS) sites, suggesting that each TAD-like structure of the MIC chromosomes develops into one MAC chromosome during MAC development during conjugation. Overall, we revealed the higher-order chromatin organization in the T. thermophila and found the chromatin structures might play important roles during the development of the MAC chromosomes.

Distinct 3D Genome Organization in the Two Nuclei of Tetrahymena thermophila

Project description:Somatic macronucleus (MAC) and germline micronucleus (MIC) of Tetrahymena thermophila are different in chromosome numbers, sizes, functions and cohesin complex locations. Loss of cohesin complex resulted in genome-wide disappearance of topologically associating domains (TADs) and chromatin loops in mammalian cells. However, the higher-level chromatin organization in Tetrahymena thermophila which contains both cohesin free MAC and cohesin located MIC are largely unknown. Here, using the Hi-C and HiChIP methods, we reveal that, these two nuclei possess distinct three-dimensional genome structures. In the MAC, each chromosome occupies its own territory and there are no chromatin compartmentalization or chromatin domains. The chromatin loops in MAC are mainly related to chromatin structures rather than transcriptional regulation. The MIC also without chromatin compartmentalization, but with chromatin domains and the domain boundaries are consistent with chromatin breakage sites (CBSs) which indicates that each MIC chromatin domain developed to one MAC chromosome during conjugation. Besides, we found the MIC exhibits unique intra-arm and inter-chromosome interactions at the crescent stage of conjugation, when the MIC undergoes meiotic recombination.

SCC1 interaction proteomics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:FACT mediates cohesin function on chromatin Cohesin is a key regulator of genome architecture with roles in sister chromatid cohesion and the organisation of higher-order structures during interphase and mitosis. The recruitment and mobility of cohesin complexes on DNA are restricted by nucleosomes. Here we show that cohesin role in chromosome organization requires the histone chaperone FACT. Depletion of FACT in metaphase cells affects cohesin stability on chromatin reducing its accumulation at pericentric regions and binding on chromosome arms. Using Hi-C, we show that cohesin-dependent TAD (Topological Associated Domains)-like structures in G1 and metaphase chromosomes are disrupted in the absence of FACT. Surprisingly, sister chromatid cohesion is intact in FACT-depleted cells, although chromosome segregation failure is observed. Our results uncover a role for FACT in genome organisation by facilitating cohesin dependent compartmentalization of chromosomes into loop domains.

Wapl controls higher-order chromatin structure in interphase chromosomes (gene expression)

Project description:Mammalian genomes contain several billion base pairs of DNA which are packaged in chromatin fibers. At selected gene loci, cohesin complexes have been proposed to arrange chromatin fibers into higher-order structures, but it is poorly understood how cohesin performs this task, how important this function is for determining the structure of chromosomes, and how this process is regulated to allow changes in gene expression. Here we show that the cohesin release factor Wapl controls chromatin structure and gene regulation at numerous loci throughout the mouse genome. Conditional deletion of the Wapl gene leads to stable accumulation of cohesin on chromatin, chromatin compaction, altered gene expression, cell cycle delay, chromosome segregation defects and embryonic lethality. In Wapl deficient chromosomes, cohesin accumulates in an axial domain, similar to how condensins form a M-bM-^@M-^\scaffoldM-bM-^@M-^] in mitotic chromosomes. We propose that Wapl controls chromatin structure and gene regulation by determining the residence time with which cohesin binds to DNA. 4 biological replicates for each genotype (Wapl +/F; Wapl -/F) treated with/without 4-OHT =16 samples

Multi-scale architecture of archaeal chromosomes

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture (3C) technologies have identified topologically associating domains (TADs) and larger A/B compartments as two salient structural features of eukaryotic chromosomes. These structures are sculpted by the combined actions of transcription and structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) superfamily proteins. Bacterial chromosomes fold into TAD-like chromosomal interaction domains (CIDs) but do not display A/B compartment-type organization. Here, we reveal that chromosomes of Sulfolobus archaea are organized into CID-like topological domains in addition to the larger A/B compartment-type structures that we described recently. We uncover local rules governing the identity of the topological domains. We also identify long-range loop structures which provide evidence of a hub-like structure that colocalizes genes involved in ribosome biogenesis. In addition to providing high resolution description of archaeal chromosome architectures, our data provide evidence for multiple modes of organization in prokaryotic chromosomes and yield novel insight into the evolution of eukaryotic chromosome conformation.

The control sample is a single-replicate INPUT for each genotype.

Hierarchical folding and reorganization of chromosomes are linked to transcriptional changes in cellular differentiation

Project description:Mammalian chromosomes fold into arrays of megabase‐sized topologically associating domains (TADs), which are arranged into compartments spanning multiple megabases of genomic DNA. TADs have internal substructures that are often cell type specific, but their higher‐order organization remains elusive. Here, we investigate TAD higher‐order interactions with Hi‐C through neuronal differentiation and show that they form a hierarchy of domains‐within‐domains (metaTADs) extending across genomic scales up to the range of entire chromosomes. We find that TAD interactions are well captured by tree‐like, hierarchical structures irrespective of cell type. metaTAD tree structures correlate with genetic, epigenomic and expression features, and structural tree rearrangements during differentiation are linked to transcriptional state changes. Using polymer modelling, we demonstrate that hierarchical folding promotes efficient chromatin packaging without the loss of contact specificity, highlighting a role far beyond the simple need for packing efficiency.
