Wapl repression by Pax5 promotes loop extrusion and V gene recombination at the Igh locus

ABSTRACT: The generation of a diverse antibody repertoire is essential for humoral immunity and requires the participation of all V genes in V(D)J recombination, which depends on the Pax5-regulated contraction of the 2.8-Mb long immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus. How Pax5 controls Igh contraction in pro-B cells is, however, not known. Here, we demonstrate that locus contraction is caused by cohesin-mediated chromatin loop extrusion across the entire Igh locus. Notably, expression of the cohesin-release factor Wapl is repressed by Pax5 specifically in pro-B and pre-B cells, which facilitates extended loop extrusion by increasing the residence time of cohesin on chromatin. Pax5 mediates the transcriptional repression of Wapl through a single Pax5-binding site by recruiting the Polycomb repressive complex 2 to induce bivalent chromatin at the Wapl promoter. Reduced Wapl expression causes global alterations of the three-dimensional chromatin architecture, indicating that the potential to recombine all V genes entails structural changes of the entire genome in pro-B cells.

Igh and Igk loci use different folding principles for V gene recombination due to distinct chromosomal architectures of pro-B and pre-B cells

Project description:Extended loop extrusion across the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus facilitates VH-DJH recombination in pro-B cells by aligning the VH and DJH segments for RAG-mediated cleavage. This cohesin-mediated process, resulting in global changes of the chromosome architecture in pro-B cells, depends on a 3-fold downregulation of the cohesin-release factor Wapl by Pax5-induced repression of the Wapl promoter. Here, we demonstrate that chromatin looping and VK-JK recombination at the Igk locus was insensitive to a 3-fold Wapl increase in pre-B cells. Given the equally low Wapl mRNA levels in pro-B and pre-B cells, the Wapl protein was unexpectedly expressed at a 2.2-fold higher level in pre-B cells compared to pro-B cells, which resulted in a distinct chromosomal architecture with normalized loop sizes in pre-B cells. High-resolution analysis of the Igk locus identified multiple internal loops, which likely juxtapose VK and JK elements to facilitate VK-JK recombination. The higher Wapl expression in Igm-transgenic pre-B cells prevented extended loop extrusion at the Igh locus, leading to recombination of only the 6 most 3’ proximal VH genes and to allelic exclusion of all other VH genes in pre-B cells. Hence, the different chromosomal architectures in pro-B and pre-B cells forced the Igh and Igk loci to assume distinct folding principles to undergo V gene recombination.

Loop Extrusion Mediates Physiological Locus Contraction for V(D)J Recombination (GRO-Seq)

Project description:Immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (Igh) VH, D, and JH gene segments are developmentally assembled into V(D)J exons. RAG endonuclease initiates V(D)J recombination by binding a JH-recombination signal sequence (RSS) within a chromatin-based recombination center (RC) and then, in an orientation-dependent process, scans upstream D-containing chromatin presented by cohesin-mediated loop extrusion for convergent D-RSSs to initiate DJH-RC formation. In primary pro-B cells, 100s of upstream VH-associated RSSs, embedded in convergent orientation to the DJH-RC-RSS, gain proximity to the DJH-RC for VH-to-DJH joining via a mechanistically-undefined VH-locus contraction process. Here, we report that a 2.4 mega-base VH locus inversion in primary pro-B cells nearly abrogates rearrangements of normally convergent VH-RSSs and cryptic RSSs, even though locus contraction per se is maintained. Moreover, this inversion activated rearrangement of both cryptic VH-locus RSSs normally in the opposite orientation and, unexpectedly, of normally-oriented cryptic RSSs within multiple, sequential upstream convergent-CBE domains. Primary pro-B cells had significantly reduced transcription of Wapl, a cohesin-unloading factor, versus levels in v-Abl pro-B lines that lack marked locus contraction or distal VH rearrangements. Correspondingly, Wapl depletion in v-Abl lines activated VH-locus contraction and orientation-specific RAG-scanning across the VH-locus. Our findings indicate that locus contraction and physiological VH-to-DJH joining both are regulated via circumvention of CBE scanning impediments.

Transcriptional function of E2A, Ebf1, Pax5, Ikaros and Aiolos analyzed by in vivo acute protein degradation in early B cell development [RNA-seq]

Project description:Early B-lymphopoiesis depends on E2A, Ebf1, Pax5 and Ikaros family members. Here, we used acute protein degradation in vivo to identify direct target genes of these transcription factors in pro-B, small pre-B and immature B-cells. E2A, Ebf1 and Pax5 predominantly function as transcriptional activators by inducing open chromatin at their target genes, have largely unique functions and maintain cell viability in vivo by activating Bcl2l1. Ikaros and Aiolos cooperatively control early B-cell development and act as dedicated repressors to suppress open chromatin at their target genes. The surrogate light-chain genes Igll1 and Vpreb1 are directly activated by Ebf1 and Pax5 in pro-B cells and directly repressed by Ikaros and Aiolos in small pre-B cells. Pax5 and E2A contribute to V(D)J recombination by activating Rag1, Rag2, Dntt, Irf4 and Irf8. Like Pax5, Ebf1 also represses the cohesin-release factor gene Wapl to mediate prolonged loop extrusion across the Igh locus. In summary, in vivo protein degradation has provided unprecedented insight into the control of early B-lymphopoiesis by five transcription factors.

IGH analysis in pro-B cells with H3K4me3, H3K4me2, H3K9ac, H3K27me3, Pax5 and CTCF [ChIP-chip]

Project description:VH-DJH recombination of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus is temporally and spatially controlled during early B-cell development, and yet no regulatory elements other than the VH gene promoters have been identified throughout the entire 2.5-Mb VH gene cluster. Here we discovered novel regulatory sequences that are interspersed in the distal VH gene region. These conserved repeat elements were characterized by the presence of Pax5-dependent active chromatin, the binding of Pax5, E2A, CTCF and Rad21 as well as by Pax5-dependent antisense transcription in pro-B cells. The Pax5-activated intergenic repeat (PAIR) elements were no longer bound by Pax5 in pre-B and B cells consistent with the loss of antisense transcription, whereas E2A and CTCF interacted with PAIR elements throughout early B-cell development. The pro-B-cell-specific and Pax5-dependent activity of the PAIR elements suggests that they are involved in the regulation of distal VH-DJH recombination at the Igh locus. Analysis of chromatin and TF binding in rag2-/- and pax5-/- rag2-/- pro-B cells. Chip-Chip with one experiment for each antibody, 12 samples.
