ZNF143 is a transcriptional regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes that acts independently of looping and CTCF

ABSTRACT: Gene expression is orchestrated by transcription factors, which function within the context of a three-dimensional genome. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143/ZFP143) is a transcription factor that has been implicated in both gene activation and chromatin looping. To study the direct consequences of ZNF143/ZFP143 loss, we generated a ZNF143/ZFP143 degron line. Our results show that ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion has no effect on chromatin looping. Systematic analysis of ZNF143/ZFP143 occupancy data revealed that a commonly used antibody cross-reacts with CTCF, leading to its incorrect association with chromatin loops. Nevertheless, ZNF143/ZFP143 specifically activates nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes and its loss leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction. Using an in vitro embryo model, we find that ZNF143/ZFP143 is an essential regulator of organismal development. Our results establish ZNF143/ZFP143 as a conserved transcriptional regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation by safeguarding mitochondrial activity.

ZNF143 is a transcriptional regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes that acts independently of looping and CTCF

Project description:Gene expression is orchestrated by transcription factors (TFs), which bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner, and by spatial genome structure, which constrains and shapes TF activity. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143/ZFP143) is a TF that has been implicated in both gene activation and 3D genome organisation. We have generated an acute ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion system to study its direct consequences on chromatin looping and gene transcription. The effects of ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion are inconsistent with it being a looping factor, which we further confirmed by systematic analysis of previous studies. However, degradation of ZNF143/ZFP143 led to the down-regulation of hundreds of its targets, which were found to be enriched in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes. By studying the consequences of ZNF143/ZFP143 loss in monoculture and in an in vitro embryonic development model, we establish ZNF143/ZFP143 as a conserved transcriptional regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation by modulating mitochondrial functions.

Putative looping factor ZNF143/ZFP143 is an essential transcriptional regulator with no looping function [PRO-seq]

Project description:Interactions between distal loci in mammalian genomes, including those involving enhancers and promoters, are thought to be a central mechanism of gene regulation in mammals, yet the protein regulators of these interactions remain largely undetermined. The zinc finger transcription factor ZNF143/ZFP143 has been strongly implicated as a factor that regulates chromatin interactions, functioning either with or without CTCF. However, ZNF143/ZFP143’s role in this process and its function with or without CTCF are not well understood. Here, we tagged both CTCF and ZNF143/ZFP143 with dual-purpose degron/imaging tags to combinatorically assess their loop function and effect on each other. We find that ZNF143/ZFP143 possesses no general looping function, and that it largely functions independently to CTCF. Instead, ZNF143/ZFP143 is an essential and highly conserved transcription factor possessing an extremely stable chromatin residence time (>20 min) that regulates an important subset of mitochondrial and ribosomal genes.

ZNF143 deletion alters enhancer/promoter looping and CTCF/cohesin geometry [HiChIP]

Project description:The transcription factor ZNF143 contains seven tandem zinc fingers and is involved in 3D genome construction; however, the mechanism by which ZNF143 functions in chromatin looping remains unclear. Here, we show that ZNF143 directionally recognizes diverse genomic sites and is required for chromatin looping between these sites. In addition, ZNF143 is located between CTCF and cohesin at numerous CTCF sites and ZNF143 removal narrows the space between CTCF and cohesin. Moreover, genetic deletion of ZNF143, in conjunction with acute CTCF depletion, revealed that ZNF143 and CTCF collaborate to regulate higher-order genome organization. Thus, ZNF143 is recruited by CTCF to the CTCF sites to regulate TAD formation and genome compartmentalization whereas directional recognition of DNA motifs directly by ZNF143 itself regulates promoter activity via chromatin looping.
