Competition shapes the landscape of X-linked genetic diversity [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Human populations harbour sequence variants even within essential genes. As a result of random X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and epigenetically stable XCI propagation, X-linked variation gives rise to genetically diverse clones that co-exist within XX individuals. Whether interactions between such clones shape the deployment of X-linked diversity remains to be explored. To address this question, we focus on benign coding variation in the X-linked STAG2 gene. Mouse models reveal that clones expressing Stag2 variants contribute to tissues such as skin and brain at the expected frequencies, but show reduced contributions to the haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell pool, and severely defective lymphoid specification. Unexpectedly, the absence of Xvariant clones from the lymphoid compartment is due not to cell-intrinsic defects, but requires competitive interactions with Xwt clones: in the absence of Xwt, Xvariant cells generate normal numbers of functional lymphocytes. X-linked competition has hallmarks of non-cell-autonomous 'cell competition', known to operate in a range of biological processes including embryonic development, aging, and cancer. These findings show that interactions between genetically diverse clones that may operate in any XX individual can shape the contribution of X-linked diversity to specific cell types and tissues.

Competition shapes the landscape of X-linked genetic diversity [ChIP-seq]

HiChIP data in A673 & TC71 Ewing cell lines (STAG1 and STAG2 knock-out)

Project description:STAG2, a member of cohesin, is one of the most recurrently mutated genes in human cancer. Here, we investigated STAG2 function in the context of Ewing sarcoma. Using a CRISPR/Cas9 approach, we generated two STAG2 knock-out isogenic clones (A673_SA2m#1 and TC71_SA2m#2) derived from A673 and TC71 STAG2 wild type (WT) Ewing sarcoma cell line. A STAG2 rescue model (A673_SA2r) was generated by correcting the CRISPR mutation in the A673_SA2m#1 model. These STAG1/2 proficient and deficient models were profiled by CTCF HiChIP experiments. STAG2 isogenic models were also profiled by H3K27ac HiChIP experiments. Analyses of HiChIP data allowed to show that STAG2 promotes CTCF-anchored loop extrusion and cis-promoter and -enhancer interactions.

ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments on female ESCs expressing V5-tagged REX1 and control wild-type Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)

Project description:Evolution of the mammalian sex chromosomes has resulted in a heterologous X and Y pair, where the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes. Hence, there is a need for X-linked gene dosage compensation between XY males and XX females. In placental mammals, this is achieved by random inactivation of one X chromosome (XCI) in all female somatic cells. Up-regulation of Xist transcription on the future inactive X chromosome (Xi) acts against Tsix antisense transcription, and spreading of Xist RNA in cis triggers epigenetic changes leading to XCI. Previously, we have shown that the X-encoded E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF12 is up-regulated in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and activates Xist transcription and XCI. Here, we have identified the pluripotency factor REX1 as a key target of RNF12 in the XCI mechanism. RNF12 causes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of REX1, and Rnf12 knockout mouse ESCs show an increased level of REX1. Using ChIP-seq, REX1 binding sites were detected in Xist and Tsix regulatory regions. Over-expression of REX1 in female ESCs was found to inhibit Xist transcription and XCI, whereas male Rex1+/- ESCs showed ectopic XCI. From this, we propose that RNF12 causes REX1 breakdown through dose-dependent catalysis, thereby representing an important pathway to initiate XCI. Rex1 and Xist are present only in placental mammals, which points to co-evolution of these two genes and XCI. 2 (one control one pulldown) samples

Xist Repeats A and B account for two distinct phases of X-inactivation establishment

Project description:X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a global silencing mechanism by which XX and XY mammals equalize X-linked gene dosages. XCI begins with an establishment phase during which Xist RNA spreads and induces de novo heterochromatinization across a female X chromosome, and is followed by a maintenance phase when multiple epigenetic pathways lock down the inactive X (Xi) state. Involvement of Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 in XCI has been intensively studied, but with conflicting conclusions regarding their recruitment and role in Xi silencing. Here we reveal that establishment of XCI has two phases and reconcile the roles that Xist Repeats A and B play in gene silencing and Polycomb recruitment. Repeat A initiates both processes, whereas Repeat B bolsters or stabilizes them thereafter. Once established, XCI no longer requires Repeat A during maintenance. These findings integrate disparate studies and present a unified view of Xist?s role in Polycomb-mediated silencing.

YY1 ChIP-seq (T7 Ab) over a time course of Xist induction and NPC differentiation in iXist-ChrX YY1-FKBP-T7 cell lines

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is mediated by Xist RNA which functions in cis to silence genes on a single X chromosome in XX female cells, thereby equalising levels of X-linked gene expression relative to XY males. XCI progresses over a period of several days, with some X-linked genes silencing faster than others. Chromosomal location of a gene is an important determinant of silencing rate, but uncharacterised gene-intrinsic features also mediate resistance or susceptibility to silencing. In this study, we examine mouse embryonic stem cell lines with an inducible Xist allele (iXist-ChrX mESCs) and integrate allele-specific data of gene silencing and decreasing inactive X (Xi) chromatin accessibility over time-courses of Xist induction with cellular differentiation. Our analysis reveals that motifs bound by the transcription factor YY1 are associated with persistently accessible regulatory elements, including many promoters and enhancers of slow-silencing genes. We further show that YY1 is evicted relatively slowly from target sites on Xi, and that silencing of X-linked genes is increased upon YY1 degradation. Together our results suggest that YY1 acts as barrier to Xist-mediated silencing until late stages of the XCI process.
