Forced expression of MSR repeat transcripts breaks heterochromatin organization

ABSTRACT: Mouse heterochromatin is characterized by transcriptionally competent major satellite repeat (MSR) sequences and it has been proposed that MSR repeat RNA contributes to the integrity of heterochromatin. We established an inducible dCas9-effector system in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, where we can target dCas9-VPR (transcriptional activator) and dCas9-KM (transcriptional repressor) to MSR repeat sequences. We show that induction of dCas9-VPR forces significant MSR RNA output, while induction of dCas9-KM silences MSR transcription. Both approaches perturb heterochromatin organization, where the dCas9-VPR leads to an immediate dispersion of heterochromatin and dCas9-KM induction results in a delayed aggregation of heterochromatin. MEF cells with the forced expression of MSR RNA are not viable and the defects in heterochromatin organization cannot be reverted. This study highlights the importance of restricting MSR RNA output to maintain heterochromatin integrity and also reveals that the structural organization of heterochromatin is governed by the transcriptional state of the underlying MSR repeats.

mRNA expression profile of A549 cells and MSR-A549 cells with or without JQ1 treatment

Project description:To establish effective multitargeted KRAS pathway therapy, we analyzed mediators of acquired resistance to chronic momelotinib and MEK inhibitor exposure in A549 cells. Since inhibitor resistance was completely reversible after drug withdrawal for several passages, suggesting epigenetic reprogramming, we investigated whole mRNA expression profiles in A549, momelotinib and selumetinib resistant (MSR)-A549 cells and MSR-A549 cells following drug withdrawal for 10 days. In parallel, we also examined mRNA expression profiles of MSR-A549 cells treated with the BET inhibitor JQ1, to identify specific targets regulated by H3K27 acetylation.

Long range regulation of transcription scales with genomic distance in a gene specific manner

Project description:While critical for tuning the timing and level of transcription, enhancer communication with distal promoters is not well understood. Here we aim to bypass the need for sequence-specific transcription factors and recruit activators directly using catalytically dead Cas9 fused to the synthetic activator VPR. We perform a CRISPRa tiling screen in mouse ESCs that express doxycycline-inducible dCas9-VPR and were engineered with an endogenous T2A-EGFP reporter at the end of the Fgf5 gene. We used a library of over 13,000 guides spanning a 500kb window centered at the Prdm8-Fgf5 TAD. We demonstrate that this approach is unable to achieve detectable dCas9-VPR binding to arbitrary genomic sites making it impossible to address whether any genomic site to which activators are recruited can function as an enhancer. To overcome this limitation, we turned to CARGO-VPR, an approach for targeting dCas9-VPR using a multiplexed array of RNA guides. We show that this approach achieves effective activator recruitment to arbitrary genomic sites, even those inaccessible when targeted with a single guide. We utilize CARGO-VPR across the Prdm8-Fgf5 locus in mESCs, where neither gene is expressed. We demonstrate that while activator recruitment to any tested region results in transcriptional induction of at least one gene, the expression level strongly depends on the genomic distance between the promoter and activator recruitment site. However, the expression-distance relationship for each gene scales distinctly in a manner not attributable to differences in 3D contact frequency, promoter DNA sequence or presence of the repressive chromatin marks at the locus.

The Nuclear Matrix Protein SAFB Cooperates with Major Satellite RNAs to Stabilize Heterochromatin Architecture Partially through Phase Separation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Interphase chromatin is hierarchically organized into higher-order architectures that are essential for gene functions, yet the biomolecules that regulate these 3D architectures remain poorly understood. Here, we show that scaffold attachment factor B (SAFB), a nuclear matrix (NM)-associated protein with RNA- binding functions, modulates chromatin condensa- tion and stabilizes heterochromatin foci in mouse cells. SAFB interacts via its R/G-rich region with heterochromatin-associated repeat transcripts such as major satellite RNAs, which promote the phase separation driven by SAFB. Depletion of SAFB leads to changes in 3D genome organization, including an increase in interchromosomal interactions adjacent to pericentromeric heterochromatin and a decrease in genomic compartmentalization, which could result from the decondensation of pericentromeric heterochromatin. Collectively, we reveal the integrated roles of NM-associated proteins and repeat RNAs in the 3D organization of heterochromatin, which may shed light on the molecular mechanisms of nuclear architecture organization.
