Project description:Current models propose that boundaries of mammalian topologically associating domains (TADs) arise from the ability of the CTCF protein to stop extrusion of chromatin loops by cohesin. While the orientation of CTCF motifs determines which pairs of CTCF sites preferentially stabilize loops, the molecular basis of this polarity remains mysterious. Here we report that CTCF positions cohesin but does not control its overall binding dynamics on chromatin by single molecule live imaging. Using an inducible complementation system, we found that CTCF mutants lacking the N-terminus cannot insulate TADs properly. Cohesin remained at CTCF sites in this mutant, albeit with reduced enrichment. Given that the orientation of the CTCF motif presents the CTCF N-terminus towards cohesin as it translocates from the interior of TADs, these observations explain how the orientation of CTCF binding sites determines the genomic distribution of chromatin loops.

Project description:To validate the sequence motifs identified by our multi-task learning model MTtrans, a new 5' UTR library with around 8,000 synthetic 5'UTRs was built to express EGFP. The reads count was used as a proxy of translation rate here to validate the estimated regulatory effect of motifs that we inferred from multiple datasets, proving the robustness of the sequence motifs.

Project description:Background: Broadly expressed transcriptions factors (TFs) control tissue-specific programs of gene expression through interactions with local TF networks. A prime example is the circadian clock: although the conserved TFs CLOCK (CLK) and CYCLE (CYC) control a transcriptional circuit throughout animal bodies, rhythms in behavior and physiology are generated tissue specifically. Yet, how CLK and CYC determine tissue-specific clock programs has remained unclear. Results: Here, we use a functional genomics approach to determine the cis-regulatory requirements for clock specificity. We first determine CLK and CYC genome-wide binding targets in heads and bodies by ChIP-seq and show that they have distinct DNA targets in the two tissue contexts. Computational dissection of CLK/CYC context-specific binding sites reveals sequence motifs for putative partner factors, which are predictive for individual binding sites. Among them, we show that the opa and GATA motifs, differentially enriched in head and body binding sites respectively, can be bound by OPA and SERPENT (SRP) and act synergistically with CLK/CYC in the Drosophila feedback loop, suggesting that they help to determine their direct targets and therefore orchestrate tissue-specific clock outputs. In addition, using in vivo transgenic assays, we validate that GATA motifs are required for proper tissue-specific gene expression in the adult fat body, midgut, and Malpighian tubules, revealing a cis-regulatory signature for enhancers of the peripheral circadian clock. Conclusions: Our results reveal how universal clock circuits can regulate tissue-specific rhythms and, more generally, provide insights into the mechanism by which universal TFs can be modulated to drive tissue-specific programs of gene expression.

Project description:Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to cognate motifs in promoters and enhancers. However, predicting genomic TF binding events and their quantitative contribution to expression remains a major challenge. In principle, the binding and enhancer activity of specific sites in vivo might depend on: (i) latent properties of the motif instance, (ii) cooperative interactions with other TFs that bind in the immediate vicinity, and (iii) the chromatin state of the sites in the genome. Here, we used massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) involving 32,115 natural and synthetic enhancers, together with high-throughput in vivo assays, to systematically dissect the contributions of motif affinity, cooperative interactions, and chromatin accessibility to the binding and regulatory activity of genomic sequences that contain motifs for PPARγ, a TF that serves as a key regulator of adipogenesis. We show that PPARγ binding and enhancer activity are governed by distinct features. Genomic PPARγ binding to motif sites is largely governed by on larger-scale features, such as chromatin accessibility, whereas the degree to which a PPARγ motif site enhances transcriptional activity depends on the sequence immediately surround the motif. We detect and functionally validate a network of TFs comprised of multiple functional classes that collaborate with PPARγ to drive transcription. We extensively perturb this network, revealing functional cooperativity among classes of TFs that does not depend on precise positioning. Together, these results present a clear picture of how chromatin and TFs from distinct functional classes interact with PPARγ to determine binding and enhancer activity, and provide a paradigm for studying any TF.

Project description:The identification and prediction of HLA-I–peptide interactions play an important role in our understanding of antigen recognition in infected or malignant cells. In cancer, non-self HLA-I ligands can arise from many different alterations, including non-synonymous mutations, gene fusion, cancer-specific alternative mRNA splicing or aberrant post-translational modifications. In this study, we collected in-depth phosphorylated HLA-I peptidomics data (1,920 unique phosphorylated peptides) from several studies covering 67 HLA-I alleles and expanded our motif deconvolution tool to identify precise binding motifs of phosphorylated HLA-I ligands for several alleles. In addition to the previously observed preferences for phosphorylation at P4, for proline next to the phosphosite and for arginine at P1, we could detect a clear enrichment of phosphorylated peptides among HLA-C ligands and among longer peptides. Binding assays were used to validate and interpret these observations. We then used these data to develop the first predictor of HLA-I– phosphorylated peptide interactions and demonstrated that combining phosphorylated and unmodified HLA-I ligands in the training of the predictor led to highest accuracy.

Project description:Multicellular organisms evolved via repeated functional divergence of transcriptionally related sister cell types, but the mechanisms underlying sister cell type divergence are not well understood. Here, we study a canonical pair of sister cell types, retinal photoreceptors and bipolar cells, to identify key cis-regulatory features that mediate the transcriptomic and functional differences between them. We generated open chromatin maps and transcriptome profiles of mouse ON and OFF bipolar cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and compared them to similar data from rod and cone photoreceptors. We found that photoreceptors and bipolar cells have divergent transcriptional profiles, and yet share remarkably similar cis-regulatory grammars. The predominant cis-regulatory motifs in the enhancers of both cell classes are K50 homeodomain binding sites, which are required for activity. These motifs are bound by two transcription factors (TFs), CRX and OTX2, which are expressed in both photoreceptors and bipolar cells. In contrast, cell type-specific open chromatin regions are distinguished by enrichment of E-box motifs in bipolar cells, and Q50 homeodomain motifs in photoreceptors. In bipolar cells, Q50 motifs are thought to mediate repression of photoreceptor-specific genes through the bipolar-specific TF VSX2. We show that converting selected K50 motifs to Q50 motifs represses reporter expression in bipolar cells, while photoreceptor expression is maintained. These findings suggest that partitioning of Q50 motifs within cell type-specific CREs was likely a critical step in the divergence of the bipolar transcriptome from that of photoreceptors, facilitating the emergence of the complex interneuronal circuitry of the vertebrate retina.

Project description:CTCF binding sites serve as anchors for the 3D chromatin architecture in vertebrates. The functionality of these anchors is influenced by the residence time of CTCF on chromatin, which is determined by its binding affinity and its interactions with nucleosomes and other chromatin-associated factors. In this study, we demonstrate that CTCF occupancy is driven by CTCF motifs strategically positioned at the entry sites of well-positioned nucleosome, such that, upon binding, the N-terminus of CTCF is oriented towards the nucleosome. We refer to this nucleosome as the CTCF priming nucleosome (CpN). CTCF recognizes its binding sites as long as they are not methylated. It can then displace the CpN, provided the nucleosome is not marked by CpG methylation or repressive histone modifications. Under these permissive conditions, the N-terminus of CTCF recruits SMARCA5 to reposition the CpN downstream, thereby creating nucleosome-free regions that enhance CTCF occupancy and cohesin stalling. In contrast, when CpNs carry repressive epigenetic marks, CTCF binding is transient, without nucleosome displacement or chromatin opening. In such cases, cohesin is not effectively retained at CTCF binding sites. We propose that the epigenetic status of CpNs governs cell-specific CTCF binding patterns, ensuring the maintenance of chromatin architecture throughout the cell cycle.

Project description:Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of HCHC mutants To extend our understanding of the role of the HCHC complex in Neurospora, we carried out whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of cdp-2, chap, and hda-1 mutants. Consistent with prior analyses, the WGBS revealed both hypomethylated and hypermethylated regions in the three HCHC mutants while the ; sequences with a lower Combined RIP Index (CRI) tend to show reduced methylation in the mutants, while sequences with higher CRI scores show increased methylation. Analysis of the WGBS data also demonstrated that shorter methylated regions, regardless of their degree of methylation in wild type, commonly have reduced methylation in the HCHC mutants, while longer methylated sequences tend to have elevated methylation. In addition, the borders of normally methylated regions typically lose methylation and show a contraction of boundary methylation in the HCHC mutants. Sequences near telomeres that are normally methylated were found to lose methylation in the mutants, while most of the increased DNA methylation of the three HCHC mutants is found at centromeres. CHAP in vitro DNA-affinity purification HT-seq and CHAP DamID-Seq To test whether the CHAP AT-hook motifs bind AT-rich RIP’d DNA, we performed in vitro DNA-affinity purification with the recombinant CHAP-N-terminus (1-274 residues) containing the two AT-hook motifs and analyzed the purified DNA with high throughput sequencing (HT-Seq). To complement this approach, we also assessed binding of CHAP in vivo with DamID-seq using the CHAP-Dam strain. Together, these techniques gave us a detailed genomic view of the specific localization and binding of CHAP to AT-rich RIP’d DNA, which is nearly coincident with methylated DNA regions.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor OCT4 is highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells which are derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts. Pluripotency and self renewal are controlled by a transcription regulatory network governed by the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Recent studies on reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells highlight OCT4 as a key regulator of pluripotency.
RESULTS: We have carried out an integrated analysis of high-throughput data (ChIP-on-chip and RNAi experiments along with promoter sequence analysis of putative target genes) and identified a core OCT4 regulatory network in human embryonic stem cells consisting of 33 target genes. Enrichment analysis with these target genes revealed that this integrative analysis increases the functional information content by factors of 1.3 - 4.7 compared to the individual studies. In order to identify potential regulatory co-factors of OCT4, we performed a de novo motif analysis. In addition to known validated OCT4 motifs we obtained binding sites similar to motifs recognized by further regulators of pluripotency and development; e.g. the heterodimer of the transcription factors C-MYC and MAX, a prerequisite for C-MYC transcriptional activity that leads to cell growth and proliferation.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows how heterogeneous functional information can be integrated in order to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. As a test case we identified a core OCT4-regulated network that is important for the analysis of stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. Functional information is largely enriched using different experimental results. The de novo motif discovery identified well-known regulators closely connected to the OCT4 network as well as potential new regulators of pluripotency and differentiation. These results provide the basis for further targeted functional studies.
