Auricular Malformations Driven by Copy Number Variations in a Hierarchical Enhancer Cluster and Dominant Enhancer Recapitulates Human Pathogenesis [PC-HiC]

ABSTRACT: Enhancers, through the combinatorial action of transcription factors (TFs), dictate both the spatial specificity and the levels of gene expression, and their aberrations can result in diseases. While HMX1 downstream enhancer is associated to ear malformations, the mechanisms underlying bilateral constricted ear (BCE) remain unclear. Here, we identify a copy number variation (CNV) containing three enhancers—collectively termed the positional identity hierarchical enhancer cluster (PI-HEC)—that drives BCE by coordinately regulating HMX1 expression. Each enhancer exhibits distinct activity-location-structure features, and the dominant enhancer with high mobility group (HMG)-box and homeodomain TF motifs modulating its activity and specificity, respectively. Mouse models demonstrate that neural crest-derived fibroblasts with aberrant Hmx1 expression in the basal pinna, along with ectopic distal pinna expression, disrupt outer ear development, affecting cartilage, muscle, and epiderm is. Our findings elucidate mammalian ear morphogenesis and underscore the complexity of synergistic regulation among enhancers and between enhancers and transcription factors.

Enhancer-core promoter specificity separates developmental and housekeeping regulation

Project description:Gene transcription in animals involves the assembly of the RNA polymerase II complex at core promoters and its cell type-specific activation by genomic enhancers that can be located more distally. However, how ubiquitous expression of housekeeping genes is achieved has remained less clear. In particular, it is unknown whether ubiquitously active enhancers exist and how developmental and housekeeping gene regulation is separated. An attractive hypothesis is that different types of core promoters might exhibit an intrinsic specificity towards certain types of enhancers. Here, we show that thousands of enhancers in D. melanogaster S2 cells and ovarian somatic cells (OSCs) exhibit a marked specificity towards one of two core promoters M-bM-^@M-^S one derived from a ubiquitously expressed ribosomal protein gene and another from a developmentally regulated transcription factor. Enhancers that activate the housekeeping core promoter are functional across the two different cell types, while developmental enhancers exhibit strong cell type specificity. Both enhancer classes differ in their overall genomic distribution, the functions of neighbouring genes,these genesM-bM-^@M-^Y core promoter elements, as well as the associated factors. Our results provide evidence for a sequence-encoded enhancer-core promoter specificity that separates developmental and housekeeping gene regulatory programs for thousands of enhancers and their target genes across the entire genome. STARR-seq was performed in S2 and OSC cells using two core promoters each representing housekeeping and developmental transcription programs. Data for housekeeping promoters (hkCP) are presented in this series; Data for developmental core promoters (dCP) samples are presented in GSE40739.

Transcriptome comparison of murine wild-type and dumbo retinas at P15

Project description:Hmx1 is a transcription factor expressed in the developing eye and ear and in some other parts of the nervous system. Dumbo mice are carrying the Hmx1 p.Q64X loss-of-function mutation (Munroe et al., 2009. BMC Developmental Biology). Transcriptomic analyses of this mouse model allows to decipher biological pathways under the control of Hmx1. In our study, we used it to better understand the role of Hmx1 in the retina and to identify several of its target genes. Wild-type and dumbo mice were maintained in a 12-hours light/12-hours dark cycle with free access to food and water. Animals were sacrified at P15 for retina isolation and RNA extraction.

Dynamic-network-guided CRISPRi screen identifies CTCF loop-constrained 1 nonlinear enhancer-gene regulatory activity in cell state transitions

Project description:Enhancers play key roles in gene regulation. However, comprehensive enhancer discovery is challenging because most enhancers, especially those affected in complex diseases, have weak effects on gene expression. Through gene regulatory network modeling, we identified that dynamic cell state transitions, a critical missing component in prevalent enhancer discovery strategies, can be utilized to improve the cells’ sensitivity to enhancer perturbation. Guided by the modeling results, we performed a mid-transition CRISPRi-based enhancer screen utilizing human embryonic stem cell definitive endoderm differentiation as a dynamic transition system. The screen discovered a comprehensive set of enhancers (4 to 9 per locus) for each of the core lineage-specifying transcription factors (TFs), including many enhancers with weak to moderate effects. Integrating the screening results with enhancer activity measurements (ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and three-dimensional enhancer-promoter interaction information (CTCF looping, Hi-C), we were able to develop a CTCF loop-constrained Interaction Activity (CIA) model that can better predict functional enhancers compared to models that rely on Hi-C-based enhancer-promoter contact frequency. Together, our dynamic network-guided enhancer screen and the CIA enhancer prediction model provide generalizable strategies for sensitive and more comprehensive enhancer discovery in both normal and pathological cell state transitions.

Enhancer bound proteome of intronic Ig Emu enhancer with E1 box mutation control bait

Project description:The specificity of humoral immune responses depends on the functional rearrangement and expression of only one allele of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. Here, we analyzed the comprehensive proteome of the murine Ig Emu enhancer, which governs the rearrangement and expression of the Ig mu heavy chain allele. By mass spectrometry of proteins bound at wild type versus mutant Emu enhancers, we identified Emu-binding proteins and associated multi-protein complexes. We found that the MSL/MOF complex, a regulator of gene dosage compensation in flies, binds Emu via transcription factor YY1 and facilitates Emu-driven chromatin looping and promoter interaction. Msl2 gene knockout in primary pre-B cells or Mof heterozygosity in mice reduced mu gene expression. In this data set we compare proteins binding to the wild-type Emu versus a DNA bait control for which the E1 box of the core enhancer region was mutated (E1mt).The E1mt abrogates binding of proteins recognizing the E1 box (e.g. YY1). Max LFQ quantitative proteomics was employed in an approach incubating wild-type and control DNA with (unlabeled) nuclear extracts.
