An RNA Polymerase III General Transcription Factor Engages in Cell Type-Specific Chromatin Looping

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) bind DNA in a sequence-specific manner and have been proven to serve as anchors to the 3D genome organization. These TFs are generally cell type-specific factor and/or developmental master regulators. General TFs (GTFs) which serve RNA polymerase recruitment to specific promoter sequences, however, can be part of very large protein complexes but their roles in genome architecture have not been carefully explored. Here, we used a bio-informatic approach of ChIP-seq and Hi-C data analysis to depict the role of one GTF of the RNA polymerase III system (TFIIIC) in several human cell lines, both normal and transformed. We find that TFIIIC occupancy within the genome mainly occurs at specific regions which largely correspond to Alu elements but also at characteristic classes of repetitive elements (REs) such as MIR, FLAMC and ALR/alpha, depending on the cell’s developmental origin. We then show that these TFIIIC-enriched regions are involved in cell type-specific DNA looping within the genome and do not depend on colocalization with the master architectural protein CTCF. This work extends previous knowledge about the role of TFIIIC as a bona fide genome organizer whose action can lead to cell type-dependent 3D genome looping via binding to REs.

ZNF143 is a transcriptional regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes that acts independently of looping and CTCF

Project description:Gene expression is orchestrated by transcription factors (TFs), which bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner, and by spatial genome structure, which constrains and shapes TF activity. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143/ZFP143) is a TF that has been implicated in both gene activation and 3D genome organisation. We have generated an acute ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion system to study its direct consequences on chromatin looping and gene transcription. The effects of ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion are inconsistent with it being a looping factor, which we further confirmed by systematic analysis of previous studies. However, degradation of ZNF143/ZFP143 led to the down-regulation of hundreds of its targets, which were found to be enriched in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes. By studying the consequences of ZNF143/ZFP143 loss in monoculture and in an in vitro embryonic development model, we establish ZNF143/ZFP143 as a conserved transcriptional regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation by modulating mitochondrial functions.

TFIIIC dinamically binds Alu elements to control gene expression through chromatin looping

Project description:Folding of the mammalian genome is governed by architectural proteins, such asCTCF. TFIIIC, a RNA polymerase III transcription factor, has been identified as aninsulator but its role in genome topology is totally unknown. Here, we show that TFIIICestablishes long-range genomic interactions that affect gene expression. Upon serumstarvation (SS), TFIIIC occupancy increases at Alu elements (AEs) near promoters ofcell cycle-related genes. Bound AEs become H3K18 hyper-acetylated and fold tocontact distal pre-loaded CTCF sites near other cell cycle genes. The promoters ofthese genes also become hyper-acetylated ensuring their basal transcription during SSand their increased expression during serum re-exposure. Ablation of TFIIIC ordeletion of the TFIIIC-bound AE that loops to the G2/M cycling F (CCNF) locus affectsits expression and nuclear positioning. These results illustrate a novel function ofhuman TFIIIC in changing 3D genome topology through the epigenetic state of AEs.

A DNA tumor virus globally reprograms host 3D genome architecture to achieve immortal growth

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immortalizes resting human B lymphocytes in vitro through expression of viral transcription factors (TFs). These viral TFs activate the expression of key oncogenes, many through long-range enhancer looping. Here we combined various chromatin conformation capture related methods (HiC, HiChIP, 4C-seq etc) to systematically evaluate the effect of EBV infection on host genome-wide 3D organization.

TFIIIC binding to Alu elements controls gene expression via chromatin looping and histone acetylation

Project description:How repetitive elements, epigenetic modifications and architectural proteins interact ensuring proper genome expression remains poorly understood. Here we report regulatory mechanisms unveiling a central role of Alu elements (AEs) and RNA polymerase III transcription factor C (TFIIIC) in structurally and functionally modulating the genome via chromatin looping and histone acetylation. Upon serum deprivation, a subset of AEs pre-marked by the Activity-Dependent Neuroprotector Homeobox protein (ADNP) and located near cell cycle genes recruits TFIIIC, which alters their chromatin accessibility by direct acetylation of histone H3 lysine-18 (H3K18). This facilitates the contacts of AEs with distant CTCF sites near promoter of other cell cycle genes, which also become hyperacetylated at H3K18. These changes ensure basal transcription of cell cycle genes and are critical for their re-activation upon serum re-exposure. Our study reveals how direct manipulation of the epigenetic state of AEs by a general transcription factor regulates 3D genome folding and expression.

Transient ER binding and p300 redistribution support a physiological squelching model for immediate ER-repressed genes

Project description:Selective transcriptional activation and repression of genes throughout signaling cascades and development are poorly understood. Transcription factors (TF) orchestrate patterns and magnitude of transcriptional response, but TF action, or inaction, is highly dependent upon TF kinetics, distance from genes, chromatin architecture, and the local occupancy of other TFs. We integrated genomic transcription, chromosome looping, TF binding, and chromatin structure data to analyze the molecular cascade that results from estradiol-induced (E2) signaling in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells and addressed the context-specific nature of gene regulation. We analyzed kinetic ChIP-seq that profiled the master regulator of the E2-mediated response, estrogen receptor (ER), and found that transient ER binding sites are specifically associated with enhancers of repressed genes. We performed replicate ChIP-seq experiments prior to estrogen treatment and 2min, 5min, 10min, 40min, and 160min after E2 treatment.

Predicting modulaters of TE-driven chromatin 3D structure (RNA-seq)

Project description:DNA is tightly packaged in the human nucleus and is wrapped in complex three-dimensional (3D) structures that have been implicated in regulatory processes However, no comprehensive model describes the formation of the 3D genome. At least 40% of the human genome consists of fossilized inactive transposable element (TE) sequences. A role for TEs in 3D genome structure has been suggested by several studies that illustrate how TEs are involved in 3D genome formation. However mechanisms that mediate the formation of TE-mediated 3D contacts is lacking. As TEs are rich in TF binding sites it seems likely that TFs bound to TEs are responsible for forming the 3D genome structure. We used the comprehensive TF binding data available in human and mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), coupled with HiC data to explore the role of TFs bound to TEs in 3D genome organization. Based on these computational predictions we divide TFs into three main classes, those that utilize TEs to drive 3D genome formation, those that are neutral, and a third class that breaks 3D contacts at specific TEs. We then experimentally validate four proteins, and show that SMARCA5 and MAFK are involved in promoting chromatin contacts at TEs, whilst E2F6 and KDM1A are disruptive.

Hi-C profiling of cancer spheroids identifies 3D-growth-specific chromatin interactions in breast cancer endocrine resistance [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Organoids or spheroids have emerged as a physiologically relevant in vitro preclinical model to study patient-specific diseases. A recent study used spheroids of MCF10 cells to model breast cancer progression and identified targetable alterations more similar to those in vivo. Thus, it is practical and essential to explore and characterize the spheroids of the commonly used human breast cancer (BC) cells. This study conducted Hi-C analyses in three-dimensional (3D) spheroids of MCF10A, MCF7 and MCF7TR cells and compared TADs and looping genes with those in 2D monolayers. We found that chromatin domains and looping genes’ strength have drastically changed during the 3D culture growth, although we identified very similar numbers of TADs and looping genes. We further identified novel 3D growth-specific looping genes within Hippo relevant pathways, of which two genes showed potential prognostic values in measuring the outcome of the endocrine treatment. We finally confirmed a few selected Hippo relevant pathways genes with enhanced looping in breast cancer patient tissues’ organoid. Hence, our work has provided significant insights into our understanding of 3D-growth-specific chromatin architecture in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer.
