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.

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.
