RNA surveillance controls 3D genome structure via stable cohesin chromosome interaction

ABSTRACT: The 3D architecture that the genome is folded into is regulated by CTCF, which determines domain borders, and cohesin, which generates interactions within domains. However, organisms lacking CTCF have been reported to still have cohesin-mediated 3D structures with strong borders. How this can be achieved and precisely regulated are yet unknown. Using in situ Hi-C, we found that 3’-end RNA processing factors coupled with proper transcription termination are a cis-acting determinant that regulates the localization and dynamics of cohesin on the chromosome arms. Loss of RNA processing factors, including nuclear exosome and Pfs2, destabilizes cohesin from the 3'-ends of convergent genes and results in decreased cohesin-mediated domain boundaries. We observed the co-localization between Rad21 and a wide range of 3'end RNA processing/termination factors. Further, deletion of Rrp6 leads to cohesin redistribution to facultative heterochromatin, resulting in improper domain boundaries. Importantly, we observed that knockdown of Rrp6Exosc10 caused a defect in cohesin binding and loss of local topologically associating domains (TADs) interactions in mouse embryonic stem cells. Based on these findings, we propose a novel function of the RNA surveillance pathway in 3D genome organization via cohesin complex, which provides the molecular basis underlying the dynamics of cohesin function.

A cohesin traffic pattern genetically linked to gene regulation [Hi-C]

Project description:Cohesin-mediated loop extrusion folds interphase chromosomes at the ten to hundreds kilobases scale. This process produces structural features such as loops and topologically associating domains. We identify three types of cis-elements that define the chromatin folding landscape generated by loop extrusion. First, CTCF sites form boundaries by stalling extruding cohesin, as shown before. Second, transcription termination sites form boundaries by acting as cohesin unloading sites. RNA polymerase II contributes to boundary formation at transcription termination sites. Third, transcription start sites form boundaries that are mostly independent of cohesin, but are sites where cohesin can pause. Together with cohesin loading at enhancers, and possibly other cis-elements, these loci create a dynamic pattern of cohesin traffic along the genome that guides enhancer-promoter interactions. Disturbing this traffic pattern, by removing CTCF barriers, makes cells sensitive to deletion of genes involved in transcription initiation, such as the SAGA and TFIID complexes, and RNA processing such DEAD-Box RNA helicases. In the absence of CTCF, several of these factors fail to be efficiently recruited to active promoters. We propose that the complex pattern of cohesin movement along chromatin contributes to appropriate promoter-enhancer interactions and localization of transcription and RNA processing factors to active genes.

A cohesin traffic pattern genetically linked to gene regulation [CRISPR screens]

Project description:Cohesin-mediated loop extrusion is blocked at specific cis-elements, including CTCF sites, producing patterns of loops and domain boundaries along chromosomes. Here, we explore such cis-elements, and their role in gene regulation. We find that transcription termination sites of active genes form cohesin- and RNA polymerase II-dependent domain boundaries that do not accumulate cohesin. At these sites, cohesin is first stalled and then rapidly unloaded. Start sites of transcriptionally active genes form cohesin-bound boundaries, as shown before, but are cohesin-independent. Together with cohesin loading possibly at enhancers, these sites create a pattern of cohesin traffic that guides enhancer-promoter interactions. Disturbing this traffic pattern, by removing CTCF, renders cells sensitive to knock-out of genes involved in transcription initiation, such as the SAGA complexes, and RNA processing such DEAD/H-Box RNA helicases. Without CTCF, these factors are less efficiently recruited to active promoters.

Essential role of Cp190 in physical and regulatory boundary formation in Drosophila

Project description:Animal genomes fold into contact domains defined by enhanced internal contact frequencies with debated functions in establishing independent gene regulatory domains. A large fraction of contact domains in mammals are formed by stalling of chromosomal loop-extruding cohesin by CTCF at domain boundaries. 90% of domain boundaries in Drosophila form CTCF-independently, and other proteins were proposed to form chromosomal loops with dual functions of segregating promoters from inappropriate regulatory elements and connecting distal regulatory elements to their correct targets. Here, we genetically ablate the ubiquitous boundary-associated factor Cp190 and assess impacts on genome folding and transcriptional regulation in embryos. Our results reveal that Cp190 is a major factor required for contact domain boundary formation and gene insulation in Drosophila.

Building regulatory landscapes reveals that an enhancer can recruit cohesin to create contact domains, engage CTCF sites and activate distant genes

Project description:Developmental gene expression is often controlled by distal regulatory DNA elements called enhancers. Distant enhancer action is restricted to structural chromosomal domains that are flanked by CTCF-associated boundaries and formed through cohesin chromatin loop extrusion. To better understand how enhancers, genes and CTCF boundaries together form structural domains and control expression, we used a bottom-up approach, building series of active regulatory landscapes in inactive chromatin. We demonstrate here that gene transcription levels and activity over time reduce with increased enhancer distance. The enhancer recruits cohesin to stimulate domain formation and engage flanking CTCF sites in loop formation. It requires cohesin exclusively for the activation of distant genes, not of proximal genes, with nearby CTCF boundaries supporting efficient long-range enhancer action. Our work supports a dual activity model for enhancers: its classic role to stimulate transcription initiation and elongation from target gene promoters and a role to recruit cohesin for the creation of chromosomal domains, the engagement of CTCF sites in chromatin looping, and the activation of distal target genes.

Cohesin and CTCF Differentially Affect the Chromatin Architecture and Gene Expression in Human Cells

Project description:Recent studies of genome-wide chromatin interactions have revealed that the human genome is partitioned into many self-associating topological domains. The boundary sequences are enriched for binding sites of CTCF and the cohesin complex, implicating these two factors in the establishment or maintenance of topological domains. To determine the role of cohesin and CTCF in higher order chromatin architecture in human cells, we proteolytically cleaved the cohesin complex from interphase chromatin and examined changes in chromosomal organization as well as transcriptome. We observed a general loss of local chromosomal interactions upon disruption of cohesin complex, but the topological domains remain intact. However, we found that depletion of CTCF by RNA interference in these cells not only reduced intra-domain interactions but also increased inter-domain interactions. Further more, distinct groups of genes become mis-regulated upon depletion of cohesin and CTCF. Taken together, these observations suggest that CTCF and cohesin contribute in different ways to chromatin organization and gene regulation.

Genome Organization Drives Chromosome Fragility [END-seq]

Project description:In this study, we show that evolutionarily conserved chromosome loop anchors bound by CTCF and cohesin are vulnerable to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) mediated by topoisomerase 2B (TOP2B). Polymorphisms in the genome that redistribute CTCF/cohesin occupancy concomitantly rewire DNA cleavage sites to novel contact domain boundaries. While transcription and replication coupled genomic rearrangements have been well documented, we demonstrate that DSBs at loop anchors are transcription-, replication-, and cell type- independent. DSBs are continuously formed throughout interphase, are enriched on both sides of strong topological domain borders, and frequently occur at breakpoint clusters commonly translocated in acute leukemias and prostate cancers. Thus, loop anchors serve as preferred and promiscuous fragile sites that generate DSBs and chromosomal rearrangements.
