SmcHD1 underlies the formation of H3K9me3 blocks on the inactive X chromosome in mice [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Stable silencing of the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in female mammals is crucial for the development of embryos and their postnatal health. SmcHD1 is essential for stable silencing of the Xi, and its functional deficiency results in derepression of many X-inactivated genes. Although SmcHD1 has been suggested to play an important role in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure of the Xi, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we explore the epigenetic state of the Xi in SmcHD1-deficient epiblast stem cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts in comparison with their wild-type counterparts. The results suggest that SmcHD1 underlies the formation of H3K9me3-enriched blocks on the Xi, which, although the importance of H3K9me3 has been largely overlooked in mice, play a crucial role in the establishment of the stably silenced state. We propose that the H3K9me3 blocks formed on the Xi facilitate robust heterochromatin formation in combination with H3K27me3, and that the substantial loss of H3K9me3 caused by SmcHD1 deficiency leads to aberrant distribution of H3K27me3 on the Xi and derepression of X-inactivated genes.

Role of SmcHD1 in the establishment of the epigenetic states required for the maintenance of X chromosome inactivation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:It has been shown that functional deficiency of SmcHD1, a noncanonical member of SMC family proteins, results in derepression of X-inactivated genes in postimplantation female mouse embryos. In this study, we found that derepression of X-inactivated genes accompanied a local reduction in the enrichment of H3K27me3 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) prepared from female fetuses deficient for SmcHD1.

Investigating the role of SMCHD1 in de novo X chromosome inactivation

Project description:To investigate the effect of Smchd1 ablation on de novo X chromosome inactivation (XCI), we derived clonal neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from Smchd1+/+ (wild-type, WT) and Smchd1-/- mouse embryonic stem cells (ES cells; ESC). We generated allele-specific RNA-seq datasets from WT and Smchd1-/- NPCs to examine the effect of Smchd1 ablation on gene silencing. In addition, we produced allele-specific ChIP-seq profiles of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, CTCF, and RAD21 and Xist CHART-seq profiles in WT and Smchd1-/- NPCs to investigate the role of SMCHD1 on the distribution of euchromatin, facultative heterochromatin, architectural proteins, and Xist RNA on the inactive X chromosome (Xi). To determine the localization of SMCHD1 on the Xi, we employed allele-specific DamID-seq to map SMCHD1-binding regions in female mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Furthermore, we performed in situ Hi-C on WT NPCs, Smchd1-/- NPCs, and female ES cells undergoing XCI, in order to explore the role of SMCHD1 in regulating the higher-order structure of the Xi.

Unfolding the inactive X chromosome

Project description:The inactive X chromosome (Xi) is folded in a stepwise process into a compartment-less structure. Here we investigate if the Xi can be unfolded in post-XCI cells. We began with ablating structural maintenance of chromosomes hinge domain containing 1 (Smchd1) in female mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), a cell type in which XCI is completed. We then performed in situ Hi-C on one Smchd1+/+ (wild-type, WT) and one Smchd1-/- (knockout, KO) MEF clone to probe the role of SMCHD1 in maintaining the higher-order structure of the Xi. To determine if the change in chromosome structure is accompanied by altered gene expression, we performed RNA-seq on two WT and two independently generated Smchd1-/- clones treated with either DMSO or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (Aza), a DNA demethylating agent. In addition, we performed H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub ChIP-seq and Xist Capture Hybridization Analysis of RNA Targets with deep sequencing (CHART-seq) on one WT and one Smchd1-/- MEF clone to determine if there is an alteration in the epigenetic state of the Smchd1-/- Xi. Finally, we examined the role of Xist, Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), and Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein K (HNRNPK) in regulating the Xi structure in post-XCI cells. To do so we performed in situ Hi-C on WT and Smchd1-/- MEFs depleted with either PRC1 or HNRNPK, as well as on fibroblasts in which Xist is deleted on the Xi (XidelXist).

Smchd1 dependent and independent pathways determine developmental dynamics of CpG island methylation on the inactive X chromosome.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation involves multiple levels of chromatin modification, established progressively and in a stepwise manner during early development. The chromosomal protein Smchd1 has recently been shown to play an important role in DNA methylation of CpG islands (CGIs), a late step in the X inactivation pathway required for long-term stability of gene silencing. Here we show that inactive X chromosome (Xi) CGI methylation can occur via either Smchd1 dependent or independent pathways. Smchd1 dependent CGI methylation, the primary pathway, is acquired gradually over an extended period, whereas Smchd1 independent CGI methylation occurs rapidly after the onset of X inactivation. The de novo methyltransferase Dnmt3b is required for methylation of both classes of CGI, whereas Dnmt3a and Dnmt3L are dispensable. Xi CGIs methylated by these distinct pathways differ in respect to their sequence characteristics and immediate chromosomal environment. We discuss the implications of these results for understanding CGI methylation during development. Examination of CpG methylated DNA from wild type and smchd1 null male and female somatic cells and female ES cells differentiated for either 7 or 10 days. Duplicate samples of each type were generated.

Replication dynamics identifies the folding principles of the inactive X chromosome [scRepli-seq]

Project description:Chromosome-wide late replication is an enigmatic hallmark of the inactive X chromosome (Xi). How it is established and what it represents remains obscure. By single-cell DNA replication sequencing, here we show that the entire Xi is reorganized to replicate rapidly and uniformly in late S-phase upon X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), reflecting its relatively uniform structure revealed by 4C-seq. Despite this uniformity, only a subset of the Xi became earlier replicating in SmcHD1-mutant cells. In the mutant, these domains protruded out of the Xi core, contacted each other, and became transcriptionally reactivated. 4C-seq suggested that they constituted the outermost layer of the Xi even before XCI and were rich in escape genes. We propose that this default positioning forms the basis for their inherent heterochromatin instability in cells lacking the Xi-binding protein SmcHD1 or exhibiting XCI escape. These observations underscore the importance of 3D genome organization on heterochromatin stability and gene regulation.
