3D Chromatin Structures Foreshadow the Drosophila Fate Map


ABSTRACT: 3D structure of chromatin is thought to be critical for the regulation of gene expression during development. Here we employ the Micro-C assay to achieve 100 bp resolution for the genome organization of Drosophila melanogaster throughout the first half of embryogenesis. The resulting contact maps enable the identification of fine-scaled structures such as individual loops and boundaries delineating TADs. We observe that 3D structures form prior to zygotic genome activation in precellular embryos, and many of these organizational features persist during successive mitotic cycles. 3D structures are classified through the use of 149 ChIP-seq datasets. We present evidence for specialized elements associated with housekeeping genes that are enriched for BEAF-32 but not CTCF. We also characterize a distinct class of elements associated with developmental gene regulation that are enriched with GAF and Zld binding. This binding is maintained during mitotic cycles and exhibits evolutionary conservation of both sequence and 3D structures. In sum, this work provides a comprehensive genome-wide characterization at unprecedented resolution of the role of 3D chromatin organization in gene regulation during development. We propose that the 3D organization of the pre-cellular embryo facilitates deployment of the developmental control genes defining the Drosophila fate map.
