Enhancer-core promoter specificity separates developmental and housekeeping regulation

ABSTRACT: 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 – 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 genes’ 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.

Genomic environments scale the activities of diverse core promoters

Project description:One model for how cells integrate cis-regulatory information is that housekeeping and developmental core promoters respond specifically to certain types of enhancers or chromatin features at different chromosomal locations. We tested this model using a genome-integrated massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure the activity of hundreds of diverse core promoters at four genomic locations While genomic locations had large effects on expression, the relative strengths of core promoters were preserved across locations regardless of promoter class, suggesting that their intrinsic activities are scaled at different genomic locations. We further show that core promoter scaling is a genome-wide phenomenon by testing six core promoters at thousands of locations across the genome. While the rank order of core promoters is preserved, the scaling of expression across the genome is non-linear and depends on the genomic location and the strength of the core promoter, but not on its class, suggesting that housekeeping and developmental promoters do not make different interactions with the surrounding genomic environment. Instead, our results support a modular genome in which genomic environments containing different enhancers and chromatin features scale the activities of core promoters in an independent, but non-linear manner.

High activity of a broad panel of housekeeping and tissue-specific cis-regulatory elements depends on a subset of ETS proteins

Project description:The genomic repertoire of enhancers and promoters that control the transcriptional output of terminally differentiated cells includes cell type-specific and housekeeping elements. Whether the constitutive activity of these two groups of cis-regulatory elements relies on entirely distinct or instead shared regulators is unknown. By dissecting the cis-regulatory repertoire of macrophages, we found that the ELF subfamily of ETS proteins selectively bound within 60 bp from the transcription start sites of highly active housekeeping genes. ELFs also bound constitutively active, but not poised macrophage-specific enhancers and promoters. The role of ELFs in promoting constitutive transcription is suggested by multiple evidences: ELF sites enabled transcriptional activation by endogenous and minimal synthetic promoters; ELF recruitment was stabilized by the transcriptional machinery, and ELF proteins mediated recruitment of transcriptional and chromatin regulators to core promoters. These data indicate that a distinct subfamily of ETS proteins imparts high transcriptional activity to a broad range of housekeeping and tissue-specific cis-regulatory elements, which is consistent with the role of an ETS family ancestor in core promoter regulation in a lower eukaryote.

A single-cell massively parallel reporter assay detects cell type specific cis-regulatory activity

Project description:We developed a single-cell massively parallel reporter assay (scMPRA) to measure the activity of libraries of cis-regulatory sequences (CRSs) across multiple cell-types simultaneously. As a proof of concept, we assayed a library of core promoters in a mixture of HEK293 and K562 cells and showed that scMPRA is a reproducible, highly parallel, single-cell reporter gene assay. Our results show that housekeeping promoters and CpG island promoters have lower activity in K562 cells relative to HEK293, which likely reflects developmental differences between the cell lines. Within K562 cells, scMPRA identified a subset of developmental promoters that are upregulated in the CD34+/CD38- sub-state, confirming this state as more “stem-like.” Finally, we deconvolved the intrinsic and extrinsic components of cell-to-cell variability and found that developmental promoters have a higher proportion of extrinsic noise compared to housekeeping promoters. We anticipate scMPRA will be widely applicable for studying the role of CRSs across diverse cell types.

Large-scale analysis of the integration of enhancer-enhancer signals by promoters

Project description:Genes are often regulated by multiple enhancers. It is poorly understood how the individual enhancer activities are combined to control promoter activity. Anecdotal evidence has shown that enhancers can combine sub-additively, additively, synergistically, or redundantly. However, it is not clear which of these modes are more frequent in mammalian genomes. Here, we systematically tested how pairs of enhancers activate promoters using a three-way combinatorial reporter assay in mouse cells. By assaying about 69,000 enhancer-enhancer-promoter combinations we found that enhancer pairs generally combine near-additively. This behaviour was conserved across seven developmental promoters tested. Surprisingly, these promoters scale the enhancer signals approximately following a power-law, but the exponent of this response varies between promoters. A housekeeping promoter showed an overall different response to enhancer pairs, and a smaller dynamic range. Thus, our data indicate that enhancers mostly act additively, but promoters transform their collective effect non-linearly.

Lola-I is a promoter pioneer factor that establishes de novo Pol II pausing during development [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:While enhancers are often regulated at the level of accessibility by pioneer factors, promoters tend to be constitutively accessible and poised for activation by paused Pol II — thus are often not considered as sites of developmental regulation. Here we show that the accessibility of promoters and the acquisition of paused Pol II can also be subject to developmental regulation by pioneer factors. We show that Lola-I, a Drosophila zinc finger transcription factor, is ubiquitously expressed at the end of embryogenesis and causes its target promoters to become accessible and acquire paused Pol II throughout the embryo. This promoter transition is required but not sufficient for tissue-specific target gene expression. Lola-I mediates this function by binding to the edges of the promoter nucleosomes, which leads to their depletion, similar to the action of pioneer factors at enhancers. These results uncover a level of regulation for promoters that is normally found at enhancers, providing further evidence that promoters and enhancers display unexpectedly similar characteristics.
