Super-sized clustered loops anchored at transposon Helitrons in Xenopus tropicalis sperm associate with late gene expression during embryogenesis [Hi-C 2]

ABSTRACT: Vertebrate sperm genome differs from somatic cells and undergoes dramatic transformation after fertilization. However, the functional implications of the sperm genome structures have not been fully investigated. Here we show, in the sperms of Xenopus tropicalis, tens of genomic regions harbor multi-megabases, super-sized clustered loops (SSCLs) whose anchors are enriched with Helitrons, the only group of rolling-circle transposons. SSCL anchors are inaccessible and absent of active histone modifications, implying that SSCLs are repressive in nature. Moreover, genes associated with SSCL anchors express late during development, suggesting 3D structure in sperm may associate with gene expression control during embryo development. The absence of CTCF and RNAPII at SSCL anchors argues against CTCF-mediated or transcription-related looping for the SSCLs establishment. Furthermore, our molecular simulation excludes looping and supports a phase separation model through which SSCLs may form. Taken together, our work reveals a previously undiscovered, repressive 3D structure in sperm that may mediate intergenerational gene regulation.

High-resolution Comparative Analysis Reveals a Primitive 3D Genome in Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:The landscape of human epigenome undergoes extensive changes during development, leading to distinct transcription programs in different cell types. It is however still not clear how the high-order genome organization reshapes in cellular differentiation. Using Hi-C, we compared the comprehensive 3D genome maps in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and two differentiated cell types at kilobase resolution. Consistent with previous reports, we found that the CTCF protein anchors long-range constitutive interactions that are invariant between different cell types. The most stable DNA contacts in ESC are between a few hundred genomic loci with strongest histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3) binding, which plays a key role maintaining pluripotency by inhibiting key development genes. These repressive 3D chromatin structures are resolved in differentiated cells, accompanied by redistribution of H3K27me3 mark. Most surprisingly, we found that in human ESCs, DNA looping interactions are not enriched at enhancers, suggesting a stochastic nature of DNA looping interactions at ESC enhancers. This is in sharp contrast to differentiated cells, in which a majority of cell type specific DNA looping interactions are at enhancers, regardless of whether the enhancers are co-occupied by CTCF. Taken together, our analysis revealed a primitive enhancer-independent genome architecture in ESCs, which is consistent with the stem cell pluripotency and differentiation plasticity. Most of the stable DNA looping interactions associated with lineage-governing enhancers are created only during cell fate commitment.

Chromatin loop dynamics during cellular differentiation are associated with changes to both anchor and internal regulatory features [dataset 4]

Project description:3D chromatin structure is thought to play a critical role in regulating gene transcription during cellular transitions. While our understanding of loop formation and maintenance is rapidly improving, much less is known about the mechanisms driving changes in looping and the impact of differential looping on gene transcription. One limitation has been a lack of well powered differential looping data sets. To address this, we conducted a deeply sequenced Hi-C time course of megakaryocyte development comprising 4 biological replicates and 6 billion reads per time point. Statistical analysis revealed 1,503 differential loops. Gained loops were enriched for AP-1 occupancy and correlated with increased expression of genes at their anchors. Lost loops were characterized by increases in expression of genes within the loop boundaries. Linear modeling revealed that changes in histone H3K27 acetylation, chromatin accessibility, and JUN binding in between the loop anchors were often just as predictive of changes in loop strength as changes to CTCF and/or cohesin occupancy at loop anchors. Finally, we built linear models and found that incorporating the dynamics of enhancer acetylation and loop strength increased accuracy of gene expression predictions. Together, our well-powered study has added to our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate looping, and the relationship of looping with gene expression.
