CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites restrict ectopic transcription

ABSTRACT: CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites identified in Patel et. al. 2019 [PMID 31547883] serve as barrier elements consistent with asymmetrical levels of H3K9me3 in the flanks and asymmetrical RNA levels at these sites in the genome. In this study we have characterised the function of such CGGBP1-depenedent CTCF binding sites which are usually repeat rich in nature. By cloning one such CTCF-binding site in an episomal system, we have studied the barrier activity of this CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites in the prsesnce and absence of CGGBP1 in HEK293T cells through various molecular assays and RNA-sequencing. Our results show that these sites act as barrier for the ectopic transcription as the depletion of CGGBP1 lead to starnd-specific bidirectional transcription as a result of loss of barrier activity concomitant with the loss of CTCF-binding. Further, analysing the RNA-seq revealed that weakly transcribed sites are flanked by the CTCF-binding at transcription start and end sites in the presence of CGGBP1. However, CGGBP1 depletion leads to loss of barrier activity maintained by CGGBP1 with dispersed CTCF binding and a loss of transcription restriction. Such CGGBP1-dependent CTCF-binding sites prevents ectopic transcription.

CGGBP1 regulates chromatin barrier activity and CTCF occupancy at repeats

Project description:To study the role of CGGBP1 in regulation of CTCF occupancy, we performed CTCF ChIP-seq in HEK293T cells with three different levels of CGGBP1: (i) endogenous levels of CGGBP1 (ii) CGGBP1 knockdown, and (iii) CGGBP1 overexpression. Here, we show that CTCF binds to repeats as well as canonical CTCF-motifs and CGGBP1 determines the CTCF occupancy preference for repeats over canonical CTCF-motif. By combining CTCF ChIP-seq with histone modifications ChIP-seq (for H3K4me3, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3) under conditions of normal or CGGBP1 knockdown, we demonstrate that CTCF binding sites regulated by CGGBP1 correspond to chromatin barrier elements with profound effects on H3K9me3 distribution. In conclusion, these finding shows that CGGBP1 is a regulator of CTCF occupancy and serve as a regulator of barrier functions of CTCF-binding sites.

CGGBP1-regulated cytosine methylation at CTCF-binding motifs resists stochasticity

Project description:To study if regulation of cytosine methylation and CTCF occupancy are interdependent and governed by the levels of CGGBP1, we specifically pulled-down methylated cytosines and found that some transcription factor binding sites including that of CTCF held out against the cytosine methylation changes. The cytosine methylation at CTCF-binding repeat-free motifs show a non-stochastic depdendence on CGGBP1 and occur at sites that mark cytosine methylation transition boundaries. We also show that allelic imbalance dictates stochastic methylation changes due to CGGBP1 depletion.

Acute depletion of CTCF rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility

Project description:The transcription factor CTCF appears indispensable in defining topologically associated domain boundaries and maintaining chromatin loop structures within these domains, supported by numerous functional studies. However, acute depletion of CTCF globally reduces chromatin interactions but does not significantly alter transcription. Here we systematically integrated multi-omics data including ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, WGBS, Hi-C, Cut&Run, CRISPR-Cas9 survival dropout screening, time-solved deep proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses in cells carrying auxin-induced degron at endogenous CTCF locus. Acute CTCF protein degradation markedly rewired genome-wide chromatin accessibility. Increased accessible chromatin regions were largely located adjacent to CTCF-binding sites at promoter regions and insulator sites and were associated with enhanced transcription of nearby genes. In addition, we used CTCF-associated multi-omics data to establish a combinatorial data analysis pipeline to discover CTCF co-regulatory partners in regulating downstream gene expression. We successfully identified 40 candidates, including multiple established partners (i.e., MYC) supported by all layers of evidence. Interestingly, many CTCF co-regulators (e.g., YY1, ZBTB7A) that have evident alterations of respective downstream gene expression do not show changes at their expression levels across the multi-omics measurements upon acute CTCF loss, highlighting the strength of our system to discover hidden co-regulatory partners associated with CTCF-mediated transcription. This study highlights CTCF loss rewires genome-wide chromatin accessibility, which plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation

CTCF demarcates chromatin domains

Project description:Insulators are DNA elements, which prevent inappropriate interactions between the neighboring regions of the genome. They can be functionally classified as either enhancer blockers or domain barriers. CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) is the only known major insulator binding protein in the vertebrates and has been shown to bind many enhancer-blocking elements. However, it is not clear whether it plays a role in chromatin domain barriers between active and repressive domains. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide binding sites of CTCF in three cell types and identified significant binding of CTCF to the boundaries of repressive chromatin domains marked by H3K27me3. Although we find an extensive overlapping of CTCF binding sites across the three cell types, its association with the domain boundaries is cell type-specific. We further show that the nucleosomes flanking CTCF binding sites are well positioned and associated with histone H2AK5 acetylation (H2AK5ac). Interestingly, we found a complementary pattern between the repressive H3K27me3 and the active H2AK5ac regions, which are separated by CTCF. Our findings indicate that CTCF may play important roles in the barrier activity of insulators and provide a resource for further investigation of the CTCF function in organizing chromatin in the human genome. Examination of the role of CTCF in chromatin domain barrier function In addition to the ChIP-seq analysis, two replicates of HeLa expression data were studied.

BORIS/CTCFL epigenetically reprograms clustered CTCF binding sites into alternative transcriptional start sites.

Project description:Pervasive usage of alternative promoters leads to deregulation of gene expression in carcinogenesis and may drive the emergence of new genes in spermatogenesis. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms underpinning the activation of alternative promoters. In our present study, we uncovered a novel mechanism by which alternative cancer-testis-specific transcription is activated from the intergenic and intronic clustered CTCF binding sites, which are transcriptionally inert in normal somatic cells. BORIS/CTCFL, a paralog of CTCF with cancer-testis-specific expression forms a heterodimer with CTCF at the clustered binding sites thus triggering epigenetic reprogramming of these sites into units of active transcription. BORIS binding to CTCF sites leads to the recruitment of chromatin-remodeling factor SRCAP, with subsequent replacement of H2A histone with H2A.Z, therefore creating a more relaxed chromatin state in the nucleosomes flanking the clustered binding sites. This facilitates opening of chromatin beyond CTCF/BORIS binding sites and paves the way to the recruitment of multiple additional transcription factors, thereby activating transcription from a given binding site. We demonstrate that the CTCF binding sites, epigenetically reprogrammed by ectopic BORIS expression can drive the expression of cancer-testis genes, long-noncoding RNAs, retro-pseudogenes, and dormant transposable elements harbored by activated long transcripts. Taking together, our results reveal that BORIS functions as a transcription factor that epigenetically reprograms clustered CTCF binding sites into transcriptional start sites, promoting transcription from alternative promoters in both germ cells and cancer cells.

Growth signals employ CGGBP1 to suppress transcription of Alu-SINEs [Affymetrix]

Project description:Alu SINEs are the most numerous frequently occurring transcription units in our genome and possess sequence competence for transcription by RNA Pol III. However, through poorly understood mechanisms, the Alu RNA levels are maintained at very low levels in normal somatic cells with obvious benefits of low rates of Alu retrotransposition and energy-economical deployment of RNA Pol III to the tRNA genes which share promoter structure and polymerase requirements with Alu SINEs. Using comparative ChIP sequencing, we unveil that a repeat binding protein, CGGBP1, binds to the transcriptional regulatory regions of Alu SINEs thereby impeding Alu transcription by inhibiting RNA Pol III recruitment. We show that this Alu-silencing depends on growth factor stimulation of cells and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of CGGBP1. Importantly, CGGBP1 ensures a sequence-specific discriminative inhibition of RNA Pol III activity at Alu promoters, while sparing the structurally similar tRNA promoters. Our data suggest that CGGBP1 contributes to growth-related transcription by preventing the hijacking of RNA Pol III by Alu SINEs. This study was used to find out the effect of CGGBP1 on serum-induced changes in gene expression and effect of serum on gene expression regulation by CGGBP1. Gene expression profiling of normal human fibroblasts under 4 different experimental perturbations: serum starvation or serum stimulation and CGGBP1 depletion or normal CGGBP1 levels.

Jpx RNA regulates CTCF anchor site selection and formation of chromosome loops

Project description:Chromosome loops shift dynamically during development, homeostasis, and disease. CTCF is known to anchor loops and construct 3D genomes, but how anchor sites are selected is not yet understood. Here we unveil Jpx RNA as a determinant of anchor selectivity. Jpx RNA targets thousands of genomic sites, preferentially binding promoters of active genes. Depleting Jpx RNA causes ectopic CTCF binding, massive shifts in chromosome looping, and downregulation of >700 Jpx target genes. Without Jpx, thousands of lost loops are replaced by de novo loops anchored by ectopic CTCF sites. Although Jpx controls CTCF binding on a genome-wide basis, it acts selectively at the subset of developmentally sensitive CTCF sites. Specifically, Jpx targets low-affinity CTCF motifs and displaces CTCF protein through competitive inhibition. We conclude that Jpx acts as a CTCF release factor and shapes the 3D genome by regulating anchor site usage.
