Chromosome-level organization of the regulatory genome in the Drosophila nervous system


ABSTRACT: Past studies have identified topologically associating domains (TADs) as basic units of genome organization. Here, we present evidence for a new level of genome folding, whereby distant TAD pairs megabases apart interact to form meta-domains. Within meta-domains, gene promoters and structural intergenic elements present in distant TADs are specifically paired. The associated genes encode neuronal determinants, including those engaged in axonal guidance and adhesion. These long-range associations occur in a large fraction of neurons but support transcription in only a subset of neurons. Meta-domains are formed by diverse transcription factors that are able to pair over long and flexible distances. We present evidence that two such factors, GAF and CTCF, play direct roles in this process. The relative simplicity of higher-order meta-domain interactions in Drosophila, compared with those previously described in mammals, allowed the demonstration that genomes can fold into highly specialized cell type-specific scaffolds that enable megabase-scale regulatory associations.
