RNA polymerase II is required for spatial chromatin reorganization following exit from mitosis.

Project description:Mammalian chromosomes are three-dimensional entities shaped by converging and opposing forces. Mitotic cell division induces marked chromosome condensation, but following reentry into the G1 phase of the cell cycle, chromosomes reestablish their interphase organization. Here, we tested the role of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in this transition using a cell line that allows its auxin-mediated degradation. In situ Hi-C showed that RNAPII is required for both compartment and loop establishment following mitosis. RNAPs often counteract loop extrusion, and in their absence, longer and more prominent loops arose. Evidence from chromatin binding, super-resolution imaging, and in silico modeling allude to these effects being a result of RNAPII-mediated cohesin loading upon G1 reentry. Our findings reconcile the role of RNAPII in gene expression with that in chromatin architecture.

RNA polymerase II is necessary for spatial chromatin reorganization following exit from mitosis [HiC]

Project description:Mammalian chromosomes are three-dimensional entities shaped by converging and opposing forces acting on chromatin. Mitotic cell division induces drastic chromatin condensation, but following reentry into the G1 cell cycle phase, condensed chromosomes unwind to re-establish interphase organization. Here, we use a cell line allowing auxin-mediated degradation of RNA polymerase II to test its role in this transition. In situ Hi-C and super-resolution imaging showed that RNAPII is required for compartment and loop formation following mitosis. RNAPs also often counteract loop extrusion and, in their absence, longer and more prominent loops arise. Evidence from chromatin fractionation and in silico modeling attribute these effects to RNAPII-mediated cohesin loading at active promoters upon G1 reentry. Our findings reconcile the role of RNAPII in gene expression with that in chromatin architecture.
