Large-scale nucleosome density patterns and precise nucleosome positioning correlate with V(D)J recombination at the IgH locus in a cell-type specific manner

ABSTRACT: In this study, we compare the chromatin structure of the Ig heavy (IgH) chain locus (performing MNase digestion) in three murine cell types rendered recombinationally inactive by loss of a RAG recombinase: (i) RAG2-/- Pro-B cell lines, where the entire IgH locus is poised and available for recombination, (ii) RAG1-/- Pro-T cell lines, lymphoid cells where the IgH locus is partly open but the V region does not rearrange, (iii) recombinationally inactive RAG2-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), where the entire IgH locus is in a closed conformation and unavailable for rearrangement. Our findings suggest that developmentally-regulated changes in nucleosome location and occupancy play a fundamental role in regulating V(D)J recombination, by creating and controlling the accessibility of recombination signal sequences.

IGH analysis in pro-B cells with H3K4me3, H3K4me2, H3K9ac, H3K27me3, Pax5 and CTCF [ChIP-chip]

Project description:VH-DJH recombination of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus is temporally and spatially controlled during early B-cell development, and yet no regulatory elements other than the VH gene promoters have been identified throughout the entire 2.5-Mb VH gene cluster. Here we discovered novel regulatory sequences that are interspersed in the distal VH gene region. These conserved repeat elements were characterized by the presence of Pax5-dependent active chromatin, the binding of Pax5, E2A, CTCF and Rad21 as well as by Pax5-dependent antisense transcription in pro-B cells. The Pax5-activated intergenic repeat (PAIR) elements were no longer bound by Pax5 in pre-B and B cells consistent with the loss of antisense transcription, whereas E2A and CTCF interacted with PAIR elements throughout early B-cell development. The pro-B-cell-specific and Pax5-dependent activity of the PAIR elements suggests that they are involved in the regulation of distal VH-DJH recombination at the Igh locus. Analysis of chromatin and TF binding in rag2-/- and pax5-/- rag2-/- pro-B cells. Chip-Chip with one experiment for each antibody, 12 samples.

Flexible chromatin loops in the VH gene region of the Igh locus facilitate the generation of a diverse antibody repertoire

Project description:The immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus undergoes large-scale contraction in pro-B cells, which facilitates VH-DJH recombination by juxtaposing distal VH genes next to the DJH- rearranged gene segment in the proximal Igh domain. By high-resolution mapping of long-range interactions, we now demonstrate that an array of local interaction domains establishes the three- dimensional structure of the extended Igh locus in lymphoid progenitors and thymocytes. In pro- B cells, these local domains engage in long-range interactions across the entire Igh locus, which depend on the transcription factors Pax5, YY1 and CTCF. The large VH gene cluster thereby undergoes flexible long-range interactions with the more rigidly structured 3M-bM-^@M-^Y proximal domain, which ensures that all VH genes can participate with similar probability in VH-DJH recombination to generate a diverse antibody repertoire. Notably, these long-range interactions appear to be an intrinsic feature of the VH gene cluster, as they are still generated upon mutation of the EM-NM-< enhancer, IGCR1 insulator or 3M-bM-^@M-^Y regulatory region present in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y proximal Igh domain. 4C sequencing from mutliple celltypes with multiple viewpoints; uneven number of replicates ChIP-Seq

IGH analysis in pro-B cells with H3K4me3, H3K4me2 and H3K9ac

Project description:STAT5 and IL-7 signaling are thought to control B-lymphopoiesis by regulating key transcription factor genes and activating VH gene segments at the Igh locus. Using conditional mutagenesis, we demonstrate that transgenic Bcl2 expression rescued the development of Stat5-deleted pro-B cells by compensating for the loss of Mcl-1. Ebf1 and Pax5 expression as well as VH recombination were normal in Bcl2-rescued pro-B cells lacking STAT5 or IL-7Ra. In agreement with this finding, STAT5-expressing pro-B cells contained little or no active chromatin at most VH genes. In contrast, Igk rearrangements were increased in STAT5- or IL-7Ra-deficient pro-B cells, consistent with direct binding of STAT5 to the intronic iEk enhancer in wild-type pro-B cells. Hence, STAT5 and IL-7 signaling control cell survival and suppress premature Igk recombination in early B-lymphopoiesis. comparison of wt vs Rag2-/- pro-B cells

Wapl repression by Pax5 promotes loop extrusion and V gene recombination at the Igh locus

Project description:The generation of a diverse antibody repertoire is essential for humoral immunity and requires the participation of all V genes in V(D)J recombination, which depends on the Pax5-regulated contraction of the 2.8-Mb long immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus. How Pax5 controls Igh contraction in pro-B cells is, however, not known. Here, we demonstrate that locus contraction is caused by cohesin-mediated chromatin loop extrusion across the entire Igh locus. Notably, expression of the cohesin-release factor Wapl is repressed by Pax5 specifically in pro-B and pre-B cells, which facilitates extended loop extrusion by increasing the residence time of cohesin on chromatin. Pax5 mediates the transcriptional repression of Wapl through a single Pax5-binding site by recruiting the Polycomb repressive complex 2 to induce bivalent chromatin at the Wapl promoter. Reduced Wapl expression causes global alterations of the three-dimensional chromatin architecture, indicating that the potential to recombine all V genes entails structural changes of the entire genome in pro-B cells.

Enhancers of the PAIR4 regulatory module promote distal VH gene recombination at the Igh locus

Project description:While extended loop extrusion across the entire Igh locus controls VH-DJH recombination, local regulatory sequences, such as the PAIR elements, may also activate VH gene recombination in pro-B-cells. Here we show that PAIR-associated VH8 genes contain a conserved putative regulatory element (V8E) in their downstream sequences. To investigate the function of PAIR4 and its V8.7E, we deleted all 14 PAIRs in the Igh 5’-region, which reduced distal VH gene recombination over a 100-kb distance on either side of the 890-kb deletion. Reconstitution by insertion of PAIR4-V8.7E strongly activated distal VH gene recombination. PAIR4 alone resulted in lower induction of recombination, indicating that PAIR4 and V8.7E function as one regulatory unit. The pro-B-cell-specific activity of PAIR4 depends on CTCF, as mutation of its CTCF-binding site led to sustained PAIR4 activity in pre-B and immature B-cells and in PAIR4 activation in T-cells. Notably, insertion of V8.8E was sufficient to activate VH gene recombination. Hence, enhancers of the PAIR4-V8.7E module and V8.8E element activate distal VH gene recombination and thus contribute to the diversification of the BCR repertoire in addition to loop extrusion.

Igh and Igk loci use different folding principles for V gene recombination due to distinct chromosomal architectures of pro-B and pre-B cells

Project description:Extended loop extrusion across the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus facilitates VH-DJH recombination in pro-B cells by aligning the VH and DJH segments for RAG-mediated cleavage. This cohesin-mediated process, resulting in global changes of the chromosome architecture in pro-B cells, depends on a 3-fold downregulation of the cohesin-release factor Wapl by Pax5-induced repression of the Wapl promoter. Here, we demonstrate that chromatin looping and VK-JK recombination at the Igk locus was insensitive to a 3-fold Wapl increase in pre-B cells. Given the equally low Wapl mRNA levels in pro-B and pre-B cells, the Wapl protein was unexpectedly expressed at a 2.2-fold higher level in pre-B cells compared to pro-B cells, which resulted in a distinct chromosomal architecture with normalized loop sizes in pre-B cells. High-resolution analysis of the Igk locus identified multiple internal loops, which likely juxtapose VK and JK elements to facilitate VK-JK recombination. The higher Wapl expression in Igm-transgenic pre-B cells prevented extended loop extrusion at the Igh locus, leading to recombination of only the 6 most 3’ proximal VH genes and to allelic exclusion of all other VH genes in pre-B cells. Hence, the different chromosomal architectures in pro-B and pre-B cells forced the Igh and Igk loci to assume distinct folding principles to undergo V gene recombination.
