The embryo-larval and adult parts of the zebrafish major alpha/beta-globin gene locus are functionally and structurally independent

ABSTRACT: We have demonstrated that, in developing Danio rerio, the embryo-larval and adult subloci of the major globin locus acquire stage-specific hyperacetylation of histone H3 and that H3 hyperacetylation profiles differ significantly between the embryo-larval sublocus (high level of acetylation within gene bodies but not in intergenic regions) and adult sublocus (extended domains of H3 acetylation covering both gene bodies and intergenic regions). The spatial organization of the two subloci is also found to be different. Whereas the adult sublocus is organized into a relatively compact contact domain, the embryo-larval sublocus has a rather low density of spatial contacts. Finally, we have demonstrated that the conserved upstream enhancer of the locus establishes spatial contacts with transcribed adult genes, but not with transcribed embryo-larval genes, and that the embryo-larval and adult subloci of the major globin gene locus are separated by an insulator colocalizing with a CTCF-binding site.

Functional and spatial segregation of embryo-larval and adult globin genes in Danio rerio major globin gene locus shows possible way of generation of structural-functional genomic domains in eukaryotic genome

Project description:To get insights into domain organization and functioning of the Danio rerio major α/β-globin locus (Mα/βGL), we have characterized profiles of histone H3 panacetylation across this locus in erythrocytes of adult fish and 18 dpf larvas. To identify enriched domains in our ChipSeq data we used our original protocol and peak caller MACS2. Histone acetylation profiles of Mα/βGL for adult and embryo cells reveal a breaking point in upstream region of the first embryo-larval gene βe1.There are two sub-segments of acetylation: sub-segment to the left of βe1 harbors adult-specific globin genes and is acetylated only in adult cells. Embryo sub-segment contains embryo-larval globin genes and is located to the right of βe1 gene. Acetylation in this subsegment was detected only in 18 dpf larva. Acetylation profile in adult subs-egment possess largest acetylation domain which covers two pairs of adult-stage globins: αa1, and βa1. High acetylation level in this domain well correlates with high expression level observed for these 4 genes in adult erythrocyte. Pattern of H3 panacetylation in 18 dpf larval erythrocytes differs strikingly from that for adult cells. Embryo-larval segment is fragmented in small domains co-located with gene bodies with gaps in intergenic regions. Adult subsegment in adult cells contains strong acetylation domain that cover 4 globin genes along with a part of intergenic regions and few smaller domains. Alternative stage-specific acetylation of subdomains and different pattern of embryonic-larval and adult domain acetylation strongly support the hypothesis of deep structural and functional segregation of stage-specific subdomains within Mα/βGL locus in zebrafish.

Mechanism suppressing transcription of the globin genes in Danio rerio nonerythroid cells

Project description:In genomes of modern fish and amphibia α- and β- globin genes are grouped at a single locus that may resemble the ancestral one and is syntenic to α-globin locus of modern warm-blooded vertebrates. In Danio rerio, the major locus of α/β globin genes comprises two subclusters, one of them harboring genes expressed in adult and the other – genes expressed in embryonic and larval erythrocytes. The results of our previous study suggested that the adult subcluster of this locus has evolved into α-globin gene domain of vertebrate animals. Here we studied how adult and embryo-larval genes of Danio rerio major globin gene locus are repressed in fibroblasts. The results obtained suggest that that at least some of the globin genes present within the adult subcluster are repressed by Polycomb similarly to human α-globin genes. Furthermore, within two α/β gene pairs repression of α-type and β-type genes appears to be mediated by different mechanisms as increasing the level of histone acetylation can activate transcription of only β-type genes.

Developmental stage specific chromosome architecture in human erythroid cells (Hi-C)

Project description:Chromatin structure is tightly intertwined with transcription regulation. Here we compared the chromosomal architectures of fetal and adult human erythroblasts and find that globally, chromatin structures and compartments A/B are highly similar at both developmental stages. At a finer scale, we detect distinct folding patterns at the developmentally controlled b-globin locus. Specifically, new fetal stage-specific contacts are uncovered between a region separating the fetal (g-) and adult (b-) globin genes (encompassing the HBBP1 and BGLT3 non-coding genes) and two distal chromosomal sites (HS5 and 3'HS1) that flank the locus. In contrast, in adult cells the HBBP1-BGLT3 region contacts the embryonic e-globin gene, physically separating the fetal globin genes from the enhancer (LCR). Removal of the HBBP1 gene strongly reactivates g-globin expression, accompanied by increased LCR-g-globin and decreased BGLT3-e-globin interactions, mimicking the effects of deleting the fetal globin repressor BCL11A. Our results uncover a new critical regulatory region as a potential target for therapeutic genome editing for hemoglobinopathies and highlight the power of chromosome conformation analysis in discovering new cis control elements.

Distinct Ldb1/NLI complexes orchestrate γ-globin repression and re-activation through ETO2 in human adult erythroid cells.

Project description:The Ldb1/GATA-1/TAL1/LMO2 complex mediates long range interaction between the β-globin locus control region (LCR) and gene in adult mouse erythroid cells but whether this complex mediates chromatin interactions at other developmental stages or in human cells is unknown. We investigated human NLI (Ldb1 homologue) complex occupancy and chromatin conformation of the β-globin locus in human erythroid cells. In addition to the LCR, we find robust NLI complex occupancy at a site downstream of the Aγ-globin gene, within sequences of BGL3, an intergenic RNA transcript. In cells primarily transcribing β-globin, BGL3 is not transcribed and BGL3 sequences are occupied by NLI core complex members together with co-repressor ETO2 and γ-globin repressor BCL11A. The LCR and β-globin gene establish proximity in these cells. In contrast, when γ-globin transcription is re-activated by cytokines in these cells, ETO2 participation in the NLI complex at BGL3 is diminished, as is BCL11A occupancy, and both BGL3 and γ-globin are transcribed. In these cells, proximity between the BGL3/γ-globin region and the LCR is established. Thus, alternative NLI complexes mediate γ-globin transcription or silencing through long range LCR interactions involving an intergenic site of non-coding RNA transcription and ETO2 is critical to this process.

Variegated gene expression caused by cell-specific long-range DNA interactions

Project description:Mammalian genomes contain numerous DNA elements with potential transcription regulatory function but unknown target genes. We used transgenic, gain-of-function mice with an ectopic copy of the beta-globin locus control region (LCR) to better understand how regulatory elements dynamically search the genome for target genes. We find that the LCR samples a restricted nuclear sub-volume in which it forms preferential contacts with genes controlled by shared transcription factors. One contacted gene, betah1, located on another chromosome, is upregulated, providing genetic demonstration that mammalian enhancers can function between chromosomes. Upregulation is not pan-cellular but confined to selected ‘jackpot’ cells significantly enriched for inter-chromosomal LCR-betah1 interactions. This implies that long-range DNA contacts are relatively stable and cell-specific and, when functional, cause variegated expression. We refer to this as spatial effect variegation (SEV). The data provide a dynamic and mechanistic framework for enhancer action, important for assigning function to the one- and three-dimensional structure of DNA. A knock-in mouse strain was compared to a wild-type FVB strain. The knock-in mouse strain carries a human beta-globin LCR in the Rad23a locus. We performed 4C for the Rad23a locus in the knock-in and the wild-type strain. Biological replicates were analyzed in a reversed dye orientation. At the RNA level these mice were characterized with Affymetrix expression arrays. We analyzed three biological replicates for the WT and the knock-in.

A dynamic folded hairpin conformation is associated with -globin activation in erythroid cells

Project description:We investigate the three-dimensional conformations of the -globin locus at the single-allele level in murine ES and erythroid cells, combining polymer physics models and high-resolution Capture-C data. Model predictions are validated against independent FISH data measuring pairwise distances, and Tri-C data identifying three-way contacts. The architecture is rearranged during the transition from ES cells to erythroid cells, associated with the activation of the globin genes. We find that in ES cells, the spatial organization conforms to a highly intermingled 3D structure involving non-specific contacts, while in erythroid cells the -globin genes and their enhancers form a self-contained domain, arranged in a folded hairpin conformation, separated from intermingling flanking regions by a thermodynamic mechanism of micro-phase separation. The flanking regions are rich in convergent CTCF sites, which only marginally participate in the erythroid-specific gene-enhancer contacts, suggesting that beyond the interaction of CTCF sites multiple molecular mechanisms cooperate to form an interacting domain.
