Cohesin-dependent and independent mechanisms support chromosomal contacts between promoters and enhancers (SLAM-Seq)

ABSTRACT: It is currently assumed that 3D chromosomal organisation plays a central role in transcriptional control. However, recent evidence shows that steady-state transcription of only a minority of genes is affected by depletion of architectural proteins such as cohesin and CTCF. Here, we have used Capture Hi-C to interrogate the dynamics of chromosomal contacts of all human gene promoters upon rapid architectural protein degradation. We show that promoter contacts lost in these conditions tend to be long-range, with at least one interaction partner localising in the vicinity of topologically associated domain (TAD) boundaries. In contrast, many shorter-range chromosomal contacts, particularly those that connect active promoters with each other and with active enhancers remain unaffected by cohesin and CTCF depletion. We demonstrate that the effects of cohesin depletion on nascent transcription can be explained by changes in the connectivity of their enhancers. Jointly, these results provide a mechanistic explanation to the limited, but consistent effects of cohesin and CTCF on steady-state transcription and point towards the existence of alternative enhancer-promoter pairing mechanisms that are independent of these proteins.

Cohesin is a key determinant of interphase chromosome domain architecture (HiC)

Project description:To ensure proper gene regulation within constrained nuclear space, chromosomes facilitate access to transcribed regions, while compactly packaging all other information. Recent studies revealed that chromosomes are organized into megabase-scale domains that demarcate active and inactive genetic elements, suggesting that compartmentalization is important for genome function. Here we show that very specific long-range interactions are anchored by cohesin/CTCF sites, but not cohesin-only or CTCF-only sites, to form a hierarchy of chromosomal loops. These loops demarcate topological domains and form intricate internal structures within them. Post-mitotic nuclei deficient for functional cohesin exhibit global architectural changes associated with loss of cohesin/CTCF contacts and relaxation of topological domains. Transcriptional analysis shows that this cohesin-dependent perturbation of domain organization leads to widespread gene deregulation of both cohesin-bound and non-bound genes. Our data thereby support a role for cohesin in the global organization of domain structure and suggest that domains function to stabilize the transcriptional programs within them. Hi-C, ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq experiments were conducted in mouse neural stem cells and mouse astrocytes

Cohesin-based chromatin interactions enable regulated gene expression within pre-existing architectural compartments.

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture approaches have shown that interphase chromatin is organized into an architectural framework of Mb-sized compartments and sub-Mb-sized topological domains. Cohesin controls chromosome topology to facilitate DNA repair and chromosome segregation in cycling cells, and also associates with active enhancers and promoters and with CTCF to form long-range interactions important for gene regulation. We find that architectural compartments - a major feature of interphase chromatin organization – are maintained in non-cycling mouse thymocytes after genetic depletion of cohesin in vivo. Cohesin was however required for specific long-range interactions within permissive (A-type) compartments, where cohesin-regulated genes reside. Cohesin depletion diminished interactions between cohesin-bound sites, while alternative interactions between chromatin features associated with transcriptional activation and repression became more prominent, with corresponding changes in gene expression. Our findings indicate that cohesin-mediated long-range interactions facilitate discrete gene expression states within pre-existing chromosomal compartments.

The epigenetic reader Phf2 is positioned in the genome by cohesin

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are assembled into chromatin by histones and extruded into loops by cohesin. These mechanisms control important genomic functions, but whether histones and cohesin cooperate in genome regulation is poorly understood. Here we identify Phf2, a member of the Jumonji-C family of histone demethylases, as a cohesin-interacting protein. Phf2 binds to H3K4me3 nucleosomes at active transcription start sites (TSSs) but also co-localizes with cohesin. Cohesin depletion reduces Phf2 binding at sites lacking H3K4me3, and depletion of Wapl and CTCF re-positions Phf2 together with cohesin in the genome, resulting in the accumulation of both proteins in vermicelli and cohesin islands. Conversely, Phf2 depletion reduces cohesin binding at TSSs lacking CTCF, decreases the number of short cohesin loops, but increases the length of heterochromatic B compartments. These results suggest that Phf2 is an ‘epigenetic reader’, which is translocated through the genome by cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion, and which recruits cohesin to active TSSs and limits the size of B compartments. These findings reveal an unexpected degree of cooperativity between epigenetic and architectural mechanisms of eukaryotic genome regulation.

Analysis of sub-kilobase chromatin topology reveals nano-scale regulatory interactions with variable dependence on cohesin and CTCF

Project description:Enhancers and promoters predominantly interact within large-scale topologically associating domains (TADs), which are formed by loop extrusion mediated by cohesin and CTCF. However, it is unclear whether complex chromatin structures exist at sub-kilobase-scale and to what extent fine-scale regulatory interactions depend on loop extrusion. To address these questions, we present an MNase-based chromosome conformation capture (3C) approach, which has enabled us to generate the most detailed local interaction data to date and precisely investigate the effects of cohesin and CTCF depletion on chromatin architecture. Our data reveal that cis-regulatory elements have distinct internal nano-scale structures, within which local insulation is dependent on CTCF, but which are independent of cohesin. In contrast, we find that depletion of cohesin causes a subtle reduction in longer-range enhancer-promoter interactions and that CTCF depletion can cause rewiring of regulatory contacts. Together, our data show that loop extrusion is not essential for enhancer-promoter interactions, but contributes to their robustness and specificity and to precise regulation of gene expression.
