Chromatin priming elements direct tissue-specific gene activity prior to hematopoietic specification


ABSTRACT: Tissue-specific gene regulation during development involves the interplay between transcription factors and epigenetic regulators binding to enhancer and promoter elements. The pattern of active enhancers defines the cellular differentiation state. However, developmental gene activation involves a previous step called chromatin priming which is not fully understood. We recently developed a genome-wide functional assay that allowed us to functionally identify enhancer elements integrated in chromatin regulating each of five stages spanning the in vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells to blood. We also measured global chromatin accessibility, histone modifications and transcription factor binding. The integration of these data identified and characterised cis-regulatory elements which become activated prior to the onset of gene expression, some of which are primed in a signalling-dependent fashion. Deletion of such a priming element leads to a delay in the upregulation of its associated gene in development. Our work uncovers the details of a complex network of regulatory interactions with the dynamics of early chromatin opening being at the heart of dynamic tissue-specific gene expression control.
