Cohesin Regulates 3D Accessible Genome Organization and Function
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: we combined Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin and lattice light-sheet PALM microscopy (3D ATAC-PALM) to selectively image key features of the 3D accessible genome in single cells. We found that accessible chromatin domains (ACDs) form spatially segregated clusters in the nucleus. Rapid depletion of CTCF or Cohesin (RAD21 subunit) induced extensive 3D spatial mixing of ACD clusters and reduced physical separation between ACDs within chromosomes. Experimental perturbations and modeling suggest that both weak, multivalent, dynamic protein-protein interactions together with loop extrusion influence ACD organization. Live-cell studies suggest that ACD clustering regulates transcription factor binding site distribution, target search kinetics and binding dynamics. Here we report the ATAC-seq results from Tn5 PA549 and nextera Tn5 upon various chemical and genetic perturbations.
