Project description:Mammalian gametogenesis involves dramatic and tightly regulated chromatin remodeling, whose regulatory pathways remain largely unexplored. Here, we generate a comprehensive high-resolution structural and functional atlas of mouse spermatogenesis by combining in situ chromosome conformation capture sequencing (Hi-C), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and meiotic cohesins, coupled with confocal and super-resolution microscopy. Spermatogonia presents well-defined compartment patterns and topological domains. However, chromosome occupancy and compartmentalization are highly re-arranged during prophase I, with cohesins bound to active promoters in DNA loops out of the chromosomal axes. Compartment patterns re-emerge in round spermatids, where cohesin occupancy correlates with transcriptional activity of key developmental genes. The compact sperm genome contains compartments with actively transcribed genes but no fine-scale topological domains, concomitant with the presence of protamines. Overall, we demonstrate how genome-wide cohesin occupancy and transcriptional activity is associated with three-dimensional (3D) remodeling during spermatogenesis, ultimately reprogramming the genome for the next generation.

Project description:The functions of cohesin are central to genome integrity, chromosome organization, and transcription regulation through its prevention of premature sister-chromatid separation and the formation of DNA loops. The loading of cohesin onto chromatin depends on the Scc2-Scc4 complex, however, little is known about how it stimulates the cohesin loading activity. Here we determine the large “hook” structure of Scc2 responsible for catalyzing cohesin loading. We identify key Scc2 surfaces that are crucial for DNA binding and for cohesin loading in vivo. Using previously determined structures and modeling, we derive a pseudo-atomic structure of the full-length Scc2-Scc4 complex. Finally, our crosslinking and electron microscopy analyses reveal that Scc2-Scc4 utilizes its modular structure to make multiple contacts with a folded cohesin at an interface created by the cohesin head-hinge interaction.

Project description:Three-dimensional chromatin structures undergo dynamic reorganization during mammalian spermatogenesis; however, their impacts on gene regulation remain unclear. Here, we focused on understanding the structure-function regulation of meiotic chromosomes by Hi-C and other omics techniques in mouse spermatogenesis across five sequential stages. Beyond confirming recent reports regarding changes in compartmentalization and reorganization of topologically associating domains (TADs), we further demonstrated that chromatin loops are present prior to and after, but not at, the pachytene stage. By integrating Hi-C and RNA-Seq data, we showed that the switching of A/B compartments between spermatogenic stages is tightly associated with meiosis-specific mRNAs and piRNAs expression. Moreover, our ATAC-Seq data indicated that chromatin accessibility per se is not responsible for the TAD and loop diminishment at pachytene. Additionally, our ChIP-Seq data demonstrated that CTCF and cohesin remain bound at TAD boundary regions throughout meiosis, suggesting that dynamic reorganization of TADs does not require CTCF and cohesin clearance.

Project description:Cohesin regulates sister chromatids cohesion but also contributes to chromosome folding by promoting the formation of chromatin loops, a process proposed to be mediated by loop extrusion. PDS5 plays a crucial role in regulating the cohesin dynamic on chromatin, mainly through WAPL-mediated release activity and the opponent ESCO1/2-sororin dependent pathway. However, the exact function of PDS5 on cohesin-mediated chromatin looping remains ambiguous. Two versions of PDS5 exist in vertebrates, PDS5A and PDS5B. Here, we construct cells for rapid PDS5A or PDS5B degradation in PLC/PRF/5 cell line with the FKBP12F36V-dTAG degron system to perform loss of function studies. Combining Hi-C, ChIP-seq for cohesin regulators, and RNA-seq data, we describe the redundant and discrete roles of PDS5A and PDS5B in three-dimensional genome organization and gene expression.

Project description:MYC proteins bind to virtually all active promoters transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), but whether they interact with the three-dimensional chromatin architecture is unknown. Here we used HiChIP sequencing of the MYCN oncoprotein and found that MYCN localizes to three-dimensional hubs formed by active promoters and enhancers. In these hubs, MYCN interacts with TFIIIC, an architectural protein complex. MYCN recruits TFIIIC to promoters when transcription elongation is inhibited, and the complex of both proteins induces premature transcription termination. Termination correlates closely with the TFIIIC-dependent removal of MYCN from promoter hubs and with corresponding alterations in the three-dimensional interactions of cohesin complexes. This limits DNA damage by removing RNAPII that stalls proximal to double-strand breaks. Binding of TFIIIC to MYCN is limited by competition with Aurora-A and this protects genes involved in mRNA processing from termination, arguing that MYCN contributes to the unusual proliferative capacity of neuroblastoma cells via removing stalled RNAPII from promoter hubs and via increasing the capacity for RNA processing.
