Hi-TrAC Detects Active Sub-TADs and Reveals Internal Organizations of Super-Enhancers

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genome spatial folding plays a key role in genome function. Decoding the principles and dynamics of 3D genome organization depends on improving technologies to achieve higher resolution. Chromatin domains have been suggested as regulatory micro-environments, whose identification is crucial to understand the genome architecture. We report here that our recently developed method, Hi-TrAC, which specializes in detecting chromatin loops among genomic accessible regulatory regions, allows us to examine active domains with limited sequencing depths at a high resolution. Hi-TrAC can detect active sub-TADs with a median size of 100kb, most of which harbor one or two cell specifically expressed genes and regulatory elements such as super-enhancers organized into nested interaction domains. These active sub-TADs are characterized by highly enriched signals of histone mark H3K4me1 and chromatin-binding proteins, including Cohesin complex. We show that knocking down core subunit of the Cohesin complex using shRNAs in human cells or decreasing the H3K4me1 modification by deleting the H3K4 methyltransferase Mll4 gene in mouse Th17 cells disrupted the sub-TADs structure. In summary, Hi-TrAC serves as a compatible and highly responsive approach to studying dynamic changes of active sub-TADs, allowing us more explicit insights into delicate genome structures and functions.

Hi-TrAC reveals fine-scale chromatin structures organized by transcription factors

Project description:The three-dimensional genomic structure plays a critical role in gene expression, cellular differentiation, and pathological conditions. Previous studies have extensively investigated the structures including A/B compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs) at a scale from hundreds of kilobases (kb) to megabases (Mb). However, fine-scale chromatin architectures, particularly enhancer-promoter interactions, which are often within 100 kb and critical for the temporospatial regulation of expression, remain to be fully characterized due to technical limitations. In this study, we report Hi-TrAC as a proximity ligation free, robust, and sensitive technique to profile genome-wide chromatin interactions at high-resolution among accessible regulatory elements. Hi-TrAC detects chromatin looping among accessible chromatin regions at single nucleosome resolution. We observed that cell-specifically expressed genes are harbored in active sub-TADs. With almost half million identified loops, we constructed a comprehensive interaction network of regulatory elements across the genome. After integrating chromatin binding profiles of transcription factors (TFs), we discovered that cohesin complex and CTCF are responsible for organizing long-range chromatin loops, which are related with domain formation, whereas ZNF143 and HCFC1 are involved in structuring short-range chromatin loops between regulatory elements, which directly regulate gene expression. Thus, here we developed a new methodology to identify a delicate and comprehensive network of cis regulatory elements, revealing the complexity and a division of labor of TFs in chromatin looping for genome organization and gene expression.

Active chromatin and transcription play a key role in chromosome partitioning into topologiÑ?ally associating domains

Project description:Recent advances enabled by Hi-C technique have unraveled principles of chromosomal folding, which were since linked to many genomic processes. In particular, Hi-C revealed that chromosomes of animals are organized into Topologically Associating Domains (TADs), evolutionary conserved compact chromatin domains that influence gene expression. However, mechanisms that underlie partitioning of the genome into TADs remain poorly understood. To explore principals of TAD folding in Drosophila melanogaster, we performed Hi-C and PolyA+ RNA-seq in four cell lines of various origins (S2, Kc167, DmBG3-c2, and OSC). Contrary to previous studies, we find that regions between TADs (i.e. the inter-TADs and TAD boundaries) in Drosophila are only weakly enriched with the insulator protein dCTCF, while another insulator protein Su(Hw) is preferentially present within TADs. However, Drosophila inter-TADs harbor active chromatin and constitutively transcribed (housekeeping) genes. Accordingly, we find that binding of insulator proteins dCTCF and Su(Hw) predict TAD boundaries much worse than the active chromatin marks (in the minimal case, H3K4me3 and total RNA) do. Moreover, inter-TADs correspond to decompacted interbands of polytene chromosomes, whereas TADs mostly correspond to densely packed bands. Collectively, our results suggest that TADs are condensed chromatin domains depleted in active chromatin marks, separated by regions of active chromatin that cannot be organized into compact structures, possibly due to high levels of histone acetylation. Finally, we test this hypothesis by polymer simulations, and find that TAD partitioning can be explained by different modes of inter-nucleosomal interactions for active and inactive chromatin. Hi-C experiments, PolyA+ RNA profiling and mapping of chromosomal rearrangements in four Drosophila melanogaster cell lines.

Tissue-specific CTCF/Cohesin-mediated chromatin architecture delimits enhancer interactions and function in vivo (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The genome is organized via CTCF/cohesin binding sites, which partition chromosomes into 1-5Mb topologically associated domains (TADs), and further into smaller contact sub-domains within TADs (sub-TADs; 40-1000kb). Here we examined in vivo an ~80kb sub-TAD, containing the mouse α-globin gene cluster, lying within a ~1Mb TAD. We find that the sub-TAD is flanked by predominantly convergent CTCF/cohesin sites which are ubiquitously bound by CTCF but only interact during erythropoiesis, defining a self-interacting erythroid compartment. Whereas the α-globin regulatory elements normally act solely on promoters downstream of the enhancers, removal of a conserved upstream CTCF/cohesin boundary extends the sub-TAD to the adjacent upstream CTCF/cohesin binding site. The α-globin enhancers now interact with the flanking chromatin, upregulating expression of genes within this extended sub-TAD. Rather than acting solely as a barrier to chromatin modification, CTCF/cohesin boundaries in this sub-TAD regulate both directionality and specificity of enhancer interactions with surrounding promoters.

ChIP-seq analyses of CTCF binding in liver samples from CAST/EiJ and SPRET/EiJ (Mus spretus) mice, and of the cohesin subunit RAD21 in C57BL/6J mouse liver

Project description:We explored the relationship between the evolutionary dynamics of CTCF binding and the functional stability of higher order genome structures, by performing ChIP-seq experiments in closely related Mus species or strains and intersecting with Hi-C-derived topologically associating domains (TADs) and expression data. All experiments were performed in adult male liver samples in 3 biological replicates and with an input control set. We also generated RAD21 (cohesin subunit) ChIP-seq from a replicate of adult male mouse (C57BL/6J) liver to determine localization of cohesin with respect to CTCF.

Absolute quantification of cohesin and its regulators in human cells

Project description:The organisation of mammalian genomes into loops and topologically associated domains (TADs) regulates gene expression. The formation and maintenance of loops and TADs depends on the protein complex cohesin, which also holds replicated sister chromatids together from S phase until mitosis. To understand how cohesin functions, it is essential to know how many cohesin complexes and regulators exist in a typical cell and how they are distributed genome-wide. Here, we have used quantitative mass spectrometry, fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching to measure the absolute number and dynamics of core subunits and regulators of the cohesin complex in human cells. We find that 60000 – 134000 cohesin complexes are bound to chromatin per G1 HeLa cell, suggesting that cohesin most likely does not occupy all its binding sites concurrently. We incorporate our data into mathematical models and discuss implications for how cohesin might contribute to genome organisation and sister chromatid cohesion.

Sub-kb resolution Hi-C in D. melanogaster reveals conserved characteristics of TADs between insect and mammalian cells

Project description:Topologically associating domains (TADs) are widely recognized as fundamental elements of the 3D structure of the eukaryotic genome. However, while the structural importance of the insulator protein CTCF together with cohesin at TAD borders in mammalian cells is well established, the absence of such co-localization at most TAD borders in recent Hi-C studies of D. melanogaster is enigmatic, raising the possibility that these TAD border elements are not generally conserved among metazoans. Using in situ Hi-C with sub-kb resolution, we show that the genome of D. melanogaster is almost completely partitioned into more than 4,000 TADs (median size, 13 kb), nearly 7-fold more than previously identified. The overwhelming majority of these TADs are demarcated by pairs of Drosophila-specific insulator proteins, BEAF-32/CP190 or BEAF-32/Chromator, indicating that these proteins may play an analogous role in Drosophila as that of the CTCF/cohesin pair in mammals. Moreover, we find that previously identified TADs enriched for inactive chromatin are predominantly assembled from the higher-level interactions between smaller TADs. In contrast, the closely-spaced small TADs in regions previously thought to be unstructured “inter-TADs” are organized in an open configuration with far fewer TAD-TAD interactions. Such structures can also be identified in some “inter-TAD” regions of the mammalian genome, suggesting that larger assemblages of small self-interacting TADs separated by a “burst” of adjacent small, weakly interacting TADs may be a conserved, basic characteristic of the higher order folding of the metazoan genome.
