Local chromatin fiber folding represses transcription and loop extrusion in quiescent cells

Project description:A longstanding hypothesis is that chromatin fiber folding mediated by interactions between nearby nucleosomes represses transcription. However, it has been difficult to determine the relationship between local chromatin fiber compaction and transcription in cells. Further, global changes in fiber diameters have not been observed, even between interphase and mitotic chromosomes. We show that an increase in the range of local inter-nucleosomal contacts in quiescent yeast drives the compaction of chromatin fibers genome-wide. Unlike actively dividing cells, inter-nucleosomal interactions in quiescent cells require a basic patch in the histone H4 tail. This quiescence-specific fiber folding globally represses transcription and inhibits chromatin loop extrusion by condensin. These results reveal that global changes in chromatin fiber compaction can occur during cell state transitions, and establish physiological roles for local chromatin fiber folding in regulating transcription and chromatin domain formation.

Chromatin Fiber Folding Represses Transcription and Loop Extrusion in Quiescent Cells (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Determining the conformation of chromatin in cells at the nucleosome level and its relationship to cellular processes has been a central challenge in biology. We show that in quiescent yeast, widespread transcriptional repression coincides with the local compaction of chromatin fibers into structures that are less condensed and more heteromorphic than canonical 30-nanometer forms. Acetylation or substitution of H4 tail residues decompacts fibers and leads to global transcriptional de-repression. Fiber decompaction also increases the rate of loop extrusion by condensin. These findings establish a role for H4 tail-dependent local chromatin fiber folding in regulating transcription and loop extrusion in cells. They also demonstrate the physiological relevance of canonical chromatin fiber folding mechanisms even in the absence of regular 30-nanometer structures.

Transcription shapes 3D chromatin organization by interacting with loop extrusion.

Project description:Cohesin folds mammalian interphase chromosomes by extruding the chromatin fiber into numerous loops. "Loop extrusion" can be impeded by chromatin-bound factors, such as CTCF, which generates characteristic and functional chromatin organization patterns. It has been proposed that transcription relocalizes or interferes with cohesin and that active promoters are cohesin loading sites. However, the effects of transcription on cohesin have not been reconciled with observations of active extrusion by cohesin. To determine how transcription modulates extrusion, we studied mouse cells in which we could alter cohesin abundance, dynamics, and localization by genetic "knockouts" of the cohesin regulators CTCF and Wapl. Through Hi-C experiments, we discovered intricate, cohesin-dependent contact patterns near active genes. Chromatin organization around active genes exhibited hallmarks of interactions between transcribing RNA polymerases (RNAPs) and extruding cohesins. These observations could be reproduced by polymer simulations in which RNAPs were moving barriers to extrusion that obstructed, slowed, and pushed cohesins. The simulations predicted that preferential loading of cohesin at promoters is inconsistent with our experimental data. Additional ChIP-seq experiments showed that the putative cohesin loader Nipbl is not predominantly enriched at promoters. Therefore, we propose that cohesin is not preferentially loaded at promoters and that the barrier function of RNAP accounts for cohesin accumulation at active promoters. Altogether, we find that RNAP is an extrusion barrier that is not stationary, but rather, translocates and relocalizes cohesin. Loop extrusion and transcription might interact to dynamically generate and maintain gene interactions with regulatory elements and shape functional genomic organization.

Emerging Evidence of Chromosome Folding by Loop Extrusion.

Project description:Chromosome organization poses a remarkable physical problem with many biological consequences: How can molecular interactions between proteins at the nanometer scale organize micron-long chromatinized DNA molecules, insulating or facilitating interactions between specific genomic elements? The mechanism of active loop extrusion holds great promise for explaining interphase and mitotic chromosome folding, yet remains difficult to assay directly. We discuss predictions from our polymer models of loop extrusion with barrier elements and review recent experimental studies that provide strong support for loop extrusion, focusing on perturbations to CTCF and cohesin assayed via Hi-C in interphase. Finally, we discuss a likely molecular mechanism of loop extrusion by structural maintenance of chromosomes complexes.
