Project description:Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are an emerging class of regulatory molecules with a broad range of regulatory functions believed to be mediated by ncRNA-chromatin interactions. Genome-wide understanding of ncRNA functions requires precise mapping of all ncRNAs and their target loci. Current methods for studying chromatin-associated ncRNA lack specificity or are limited to singly assessing RNAs. We devised an unbiased strategy to identify all RNA Interactions with Chromatin by Paired-End-Taging (RICh-PET) and applied this approach to characterize the Drosophila RNA-chromatin interactome. We discovered that ncRNAs primarily target promoters and enhancers in open chromatin regions in colocalization with RNAPII and other TFs, suggesting combinatorial regulatory instructions for each locus. Enzymatic nuclear digestion followed by examination of specific chromatin loci indicated that ncRNAs collectively promote chromatin accessability, RNAPII-mediated interactions and overall 3D-genome organization. Our study demonstrates that RICh-PET and related methods represent a powerful suite of tools to interrogate the genome biology of ncRNAs.

Project description:Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are transcribed throughout the genome and provide regulatory inputs to gene expression through their interaction with chromatin. Yet, the genomic targets and functions of most ncRNAs are unknown. Here we use chromatin-associated RNA sequencing (ChAR-seq) to map the global network of ncRNA interactions with chromatin in human embryonic stem cells, and the dynamic changes in interactions during differentiation into definitive endoderm. We uncover general principles governing the organization of the RNA-chromatin interactome, demonstrating that nearly all ncRNAs exclusively interact with genes in close three-dimensional proximity to their locus, and provide a model predicting the interactome. We uncover RNAs that interact with many loci across the genome, and unveil thousands of unannotated RNAs that dynamically interact with chromatin. By relating the dynamics of the interactome to changes in gene expression, we demonstrate that activation or repression of individual genes is unlikely to be controlled by a single ncRNA.

Project description:Although non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been proposed to play important roles in nuclear organization with three-dimensional (3D) conformation and gene transcription regulation, exploring the targeting and diffusion patterns of ncRNAs on chromatin has been challenging because it requires a technique that can simultaneously detect high-affinity sites and their higher-order contacts in 3D structures. Here we developed a new method, RNA-associated chromatin DNA-DNA interactions (RDD) in solution, which enables genome-wide detection of genomic binding sites and high-resolution chromatin interactions for a specific ncRNA. Using RDD to investigate the well-known ncRNA roX2 that involved in Drosophila dosage compensation, we not only recapitulate roX2 targeting chromatin sites but also reveal the landscape of chromatin DNA-DNA contacts at various resolutions from loops, domains to territories. We further show that roX2 anchors at the target gene TES and spreads around as a 'boot-like' structure for maintaining gene activity, where tethered daisy-chain chromatin loops, bridging to TSS to dock RNAPII-related contact hubs to achieve a precise twofold expression of male X-linked genes, further crossing active domains to form distinct hubs to exhibit the condensed properties of roX2 in high-throughput sequencing. These results provide a genome-wide 3D model for explaining the mechanism of ncRNA roX2 involved dosage compensation in Drosophila. Together, we demonstrate the high specificity and robustness of the RDD method to capture RNA-associated chromatin DNA-DNA interactome, which provides topological insights into the mechanism of gene transcription regulation by ncRNAs.

Project description:To dissect Cohesin-independent mechanisms that compartmentalize the mammalian genome, we combined super-resolution imaging and high-resolution chromatin interactome, chromatin binding and accessibility and RNA sequencing analysis. We found that the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family protein BRD2 is one key regulator to promote compartmental interactions in the absence of Cohesin. We also identified competitive, rather than cooperative relationship between BET family proteins in shaping the 3D genome organization. This study uncovers new mechanisitc insights on the 3D organization of the mammalian genome.

Project description:RUF6 is a ncRNA gene family that is transcribed by RNA Polymerase III but actively regulates the Pol II-transcribed var virulence gene family. Understanding how RUF6 ncRNA connect to downstream effectors is lacking. We developed an RNA-directed proteomic discovery (ChIRP-MS) protocol to identify in vivo RUF6 ncRNA protein interactions. The RUF6 ncRNA interactome was purified with biotinylated antisense oligonucleotides. Quantitative label-free mass spectrometry identified several unique proteins linked to gene transcription including. Affinity purification of Pf-DDX5 identified proteins originally found by our RUF6-ChIRP protocol, validating the technique’s robustness for identifying ncRNA interactomes in P. falciparum. Our work identifies a RUF6 ncRNA protein complex that interacts with RNA Pol II to sustain var gene expression.

Project description:Chromosomes of metazoan organisms are partitioned in the interphase nucleus into discrete topologically associating domains (TADs). Borders between TADs are preferentially formed in regions containing high density of active genes and clusters of architectural protein binding sites. Transcription of most genes is turned off during the heat shock response in Drosophila. Here we show that temperature stress induces relocalization of architectural proteins from TAD borders to inside TADs, and this is accompanied by a dramatic rearrangement in the 3D organization of the nucleus. TAD border strength declines, allowing for an increase in long-distance inter-TAD interactions. Similar but quantitatively weaker effects are observed upon inhibition of transcription or depletion of individual architectural proteins. New heat shock-induced inter-TAD interactions result in increased contacts among enhancers and promoters of silenced genes, which recruit Pc and form Pc bodies at the nucleolus. These results suggest that the TAD organization of metazoan genomes is plastic and can be quickly reconfigured to allow new interactions between distant sequences. Analysis of 3D chromatin organization using Hi-C in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Cells were grown at 25 C and heat shocked for 20 min at 36.5 C. Cells were also treated with flavopiridol or triptolide to inhibit transcription elongation or initiation, respectively. Cells were depeleted of Cap-H2 or Rad21 using RNAi. Finally, cells depleted of RAd21 were subjected to heat shock at 36.5 C for 20 min.

Project description:The interior of the neuronal cell nucleus is a highly organized 3-dimensional (3D) structure in which regions of the genome that are millions of bases apart participate in specialized sub-structures with dedicated functions. To investigate neuronal chromatin organization and dynamics in vivo, we generated bitransgenic mice that express histone GFP-tagged H2B in principal neurons of the forebrain. Surprisingly, the expression of this chimeric histone in mature neurons causes chromocenter declustering and disrupts the association of heterochromatin with the nuclear lamina. The loss of these structures does not affect neuronal viability but is associated with specific transcriptional and behavioral deficits related to serotonergic dysfunction. Overall, our results demonstrate that the 3D-organization of chromatin in the neuronal nucleus supports an additional level of epigenetic regulation of gene expression that critically influences neuronal function and indicate that some loci associated with neuropsychiatric disorders may be particularly sensitive to changes in chromatin architecture. Genome-wide profiling by high throughput sequencing of H3K27me3 in the adult hippocampus of CaMKII-tTA/tetO-H2BGFP (H2BGFP) and their wild-type littermates mice (WT). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out using pooled hippocampal tissue from 3 mice (one hippocampus per mouse). One DNA library was constructed per genotype. Each DNA library was prepared from pooled immunoprecipitated DNA from 4 independent ChIP assays. In total, tissue from 12 different mice was used to prepare each DNA library. 60% of a lane was used to perform single end (1x50bp) multiplex sequencing in HiSeq 2500 apparatus (Illumina). Each library, was sequenced in duplicate (in two independent sequencing runs. Technical replicates).

Project description:The majority of the eukaryotic genome is transcribed into non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are important regulators of different biological processes in the cell nucleus as part of the machinery controlling chromatin structure. However, the full extent of ncRNAs function has remained elusive. Here we deciphered the function of the microRNA Mirlet7d as a key regulator of the expression of bi-directionally transcribed genes. We found that nuclear Mirlet7d binds ncRNAs expressed from these genes. The Mirlet7d-ncRNA duplexes are further bound by C1D, which in turn targets the RNA exosome complex and EZH2 to the bi-directionally active loci. The exosome degrades the ncRNAs, whereas EZH2 induces heterochromatin and transcriptional silencing. Moreover, this multicomponent RNA-protein complex, which we called MiCEE, tethers the regulated genes to the perinucleolar region, thereby being required for proper nucleolus organization. Our study demonstrates that the MiCEE complex mediates epigenetic silencing of bi-directionally expressed genes and global genome organization.
