Project description:Higher-order chromatin conformation plays critical role in regulating gene expression and biological development, here we show that HNRNPU, a nuclear matrix attachment factor, is a regulator of 3D genome architecture at multiple levels in mouse hepatocytes. We demonstrate that depletion of HNRNPU results into a global reorganization of nuclear bodies and re-localization of chromatin towards nuclear periphery. Additionally, upon HNRNPU depletion, chromatin interactions between A-type (active) and B-type (inactive) compartments increase significantly but those among same types of compartments decrease significantly, which associate with global gene expression changes. While TADs remain largely invariant, both inter- and intra-TAD interactions increase significantly in A-type compartments but decrease in B-type compartments. Mechanically, HNRNPU complexes with structural proteins CTCF and RAD21; depletion of HNRNPU specifically weakens the bindings of RAD21 to the chromatin, which is highly correlated with the weakness of chromatin loops.

Project description:Here we show that HNRNPU, the major nuclear matrix attachment factor, is necessary to maintain proper nuclear architecture in mouse hepatocytes. Upon HNRNPU depletion, the interactions between chromatin and nuclear lamina have been changed dramatically；chromatin organization is globally changed; boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs) become weaker; inter-TAD interactions are increased; thousands of genes are significantly altered coincident with 3D chromatin changes. Mechanically, HNRNPU interacts with CTCF and RAD21, which affects the binding of RAD21 to the chromatin significantly, whereas CTCF bindings are almost unchanged, what’ more, the decrease of binding strengths are highly correlated with the weakness of loop bounded by Rad21. Taken together, we identify HNRNPU as a key regulator of chromatin architecture, and our data suggest the importance of nuclear matrix associating factors in 3D genome organization.

Project description:Eukaryotic chromosomes are folded into higher-order conformations to coordinate genome functions. In addition to long-range chromatin loops, recent chromosome conformation capture (3C)-based studies have indicated higher levels of chromatin structures including compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs), which may serve as units of genome organization and functions. However, the molecular machinery underlying these hierarchically three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architectures remains poorly understood. Via high-throughput assays, including in situ Hi-C, DamID, ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq, we investigated roles of the Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein U (HNRNPU), a nuclear matrix (NM)-associated protein, in 3D genome organization. Upon the depletion of HNRNPU in mouse hepatocytes, the coverage of lamina-associated domains (LADs) in the genome increases from 53.1% to 68.6%, and a global condensation of chromatin was observed. Furthermore, disruption of HNRNPU leads to compartment switching on 7.5% of the genome, decreases TAD boundary strengths at borders between A (active) and B (inactive) compartments, and reduces chromatin loop intensities. Long-range chromatin interactions between and within compartments or TADs are also significantly remodeled upon HNRNPU depletion. Intriguingly, HNRNPU mainly associates with active chromatin, and 80% of HNRNPU peaks coincide with the binding of CTCF or RAD21. Collectively, we demonstrated that HNRNPU functions as a major factor maintaining 3D chromatin architecture, suggesting important roles of NM-associated proteins in genome organization.

Project description:Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) are signalling messengers representing less than five per cent of the total phospholipid concentration within the cell. Despite their low concentration, these lipids are critical regulators of various cellular processes, including cell cycle, differentiation, gene transcription, apoptosis and motility. PPIns are generated by the phosphorylation of the inositol head group of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). Different pools of PPIns are found at distinct subcellular compartments, which are regulated by an array of kinases, phosphatases and phospholipases. Six of the seven PPIns species have been found in the nucleus, including the nuclear envelope, the nucleoplasm and the nucleolus. The identification and characterisation of PPIns interactor and effector proteins in the nucleus have led to increasing interest in the role of PPIns in nuclear signalling. However, the regulation and functions of PPIns in the nucleus are complex and are still being elucidated. This review summarises our current understanding of the localisation, biogenesis and physiological functions of the different PPIns species in the nucleus.

Project description:The nuclei of eukaryotes contain various higher-order chromatin architectures and nuclear bodies (NBs), which are critical for proper nuclear functions. By using mouse hepatocytes as the model, we knocked-down SRRM2, a core protein component scaffolding NSs, and performed Hi-C experiments to examine genome-wide chromatin interactions. We found that Srrm2 depletion disrupted the NSs and changes expression of about 1,000 genes. The intra-chromosomal interactions were decreased in type A (active) compartments and increased in type B (repressive) compartments. Furthermore, upon Srrm2 knockdown, the insulation of TADs was decreased specifically in active compartments, and the most significant reduction was found in the A1 sub-compartments. We showed that disruption of NSs by Srrm2 knockdown led to a global decrease of chromatin interactions in active compartments, indicating critical functions of NSs in the organization of the 3D genome.
