Mesoscale chromatin confinement facilitates target search of pioneer transcription factors in live cells [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: To dissect the molecular mechanisms of the transcription factor FOXA2 accessing nucleosomal targets and controlling cell fates, we combined live-cell single-molecule imaging, genome editing, chromatin binding, chromatin accessibility, and RNA sequence analysis. Using the hESC differentiation cellular system to anterior primitive streak (APS) and definitive endoderm (DE), we demonstrated by RNA-seq that FOXA2 is a lineage-determining transcription factor for DE formation and that its intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain (CTD) is essential for its normal function. Through ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq at multiple time points of exogenous expression, we also showed that the CTD is required for FOXA2 effectively accessing targets in closed chromatin and altering chromatin accessibility. Together with the single-molecule kinetics captured by fluorescence microscopy, this study uncovers new mechanistic insights on the activity of lineage-determining transcription factors in engaging chromatin and accessing nucleosomal targets.

The Nucleosome Map of the Mammalian Liver

Project description:Mammalian genomes contain billions of basepairs of DNA that must be highly compacted as chromatin to fit into the nano-scale of the nucleus, but yet be accessible to allow for transcription to occur. Binding to nucleosomal DNA is critical for ÔpioneerÕ transcription factors such as Foxa1 and Foxa2 to regulate chromatin structure and gene activation. Here we report the genome-wide map of nucleosome positions in the mouse liver, with emphasis on transcriptional start sites, CpG islands, Foxa2 binding sites, and their correlation with gene expression. Despite the heterogeneity of liver tissue, we could clearly discern the nucleosome pattern of the predominant liver cell, the hepatocyte. By analyzing nucleosome occupancy and the distributions of heterochromatin protein 1 (Hp1), CBP, and p300 in Foxa1/2-deficient livers we find, surprisingly, that the maintenance of nucleosome position and chromatin structure surrounding Foxa2 binding sites is independent of Foxa1/2.

Histone octamer structure is altered early in ISW2 ATP-dependent remodeling of nucleosomes

Project description:Histone octamers are thought to be a rigid part of nucleosomes that shape chromatin and block cellular machinery from accessing DNA. ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers like ISW2 mobilize nucleosomes to provide DNA access. We find evidence for histone octamer distortion preceding DNA being moved into nucleosomes and processive movement of the ATPase motor of ISW2 on nucleosomal DNA. DNA entering nucleosome is uncoupled from the ATPase activity of ISW2 and alterations of the histone octamer structure mediated by ISW2 by deletion of the SANT domain from the C-terminus of the Isw2 catalytic subunit. We also find that restricting histone movement by chemical crosslinking traps remodeling intermediates resembling those seen by loss of the SANT domain, further supporting the importance of changes in histone octamer structure early in ISW2 remodeling. Transient octamer distortions are stabilized by H3-H4 tetramer disulfide crosslinking, thereby linking intrinsic histone octamer flexibility to chromatin remodeling.

Pre-marked chromatin and transcription factor co-binding shape the pioneering activity of Foxa2 [MeDIP-seq]

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors (PTF) can recognize their binding sites on nucleosomal DNA and trigger chromatin opening for recruitment of other non-pioneer transcription factors. However, critical properties of PTFs are still poorly understood, such as how can these transcription factors selectively recognize cell type-specific binding sites and under which conditions can they initiate chromatin remodelling. Here we show that early endoderm binding sites of the paradigm PTF Foxa2 are epigenetically primed by low levels of active chromatin modifications in embryonic stem cells (ESC). Priming of these binding sites is supported by preferential recruitment of Foxa2 to endoderm binding sites compared to lineage-inappropriate binding sites, when ectopically expressed in ESCs. We further show that binding of Foxa2 is required for chromatin opening during endoderm differentiation. However, increased chromatin accessibility was only detected on binding sites which are synergistically bound with other endoderm transcription factors. Thus, our data suggest that binding site selection of PTFs is directed by the chromatin environment and that chromatin opening requires collaboration of PTFs with additional transcription factors.
