Extensive folding variability between homologous chromosomes in mammalian cells

ABSTRACT: Genetic variation and 3D chromatin structure have major roles in gene regulation. Structural differences between genotypically different chromosomes and their effects on gene expression remain ill understood, due to challenges in mapping 3D genome structure with allele-specific resolution. Here, we applied Genome Architecture Mapping (GAM) to a hybrid mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) line with high SNP density. Given the high efficiency of GAM in haplotype phasing, we could resolve allele-specific 3D genome structures with high sensitivity. We discovered extensive genotype-specific folding of chromosomes in compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs), long-range enhancer-promoter contacts and CTCF loops, often coinciding with allele-specific gene expression in association with Polycomb repression. We show that histone genes are expressed with allelic imbalance in ESCs, and involved in allele-specific chromatin contacts marked by H3K27me3. Functional analysis through conditional Ezh2- or Ring1b-knockdown shows a role for Polycomb repression in tuning histone protein levels. Our work reveals that the homologous chromosomes have highly distinct 3D folding structures, and their intricate relationships with gene-specific mechanisms of allelic expression imbalance.

Nucleophosmin binding on the mouse X chromosomes

Project description:In mammals, one of the female X chromosomes and all imprinted genes are expressed exclusively from a single allele in somatic cells. To evaluate structural changes associated with allelic silencing, we have applied a recently developed Hi-C assay that uses DNase I for chromatin fragmentation to mouse F1 hybrid systems. Results We find radically different conformations for the two female mouse X chromosomes. The inactive X has two superdomains of frequent intrachromosomal contacts separated by a boundary/hinge region. Comparison with the recently reported bipartite 3D structure of the human inactive X shows that the genomic content of the superdomains differs between species, but part of the hinge is conserved and located near the Dxz4/DXZ4 locus. In mouse, the hinge region also contains a minisatellite Ds-TR, and both Dxz4 and Ds-TR appear to be anchored to the nucleolus. Genes that escape X inactivation do not cluster but are located near the periphery of the 3D structure, as are regions enriched in CTCF or RNA polymerase. Fewer short-range intrachromosomal contacts are detected for the inactive alleles of genes subject to X inactivation, compared to the active alleles and to genes that escape X inactivation. This pattern is also evident for imprinted genes, in which more chromatin contacts are detected for the expressed allele. Conclusions By applying a novel Hi-C method to map allelic chromatin contacts, we discover a specific bipartite organization of the mouse inactive X chromosome that probably plays an important role in maintenance of gene silencing.

Quantitative analysis of chromatin interactions upon copy number variation at mouse 4E2 [RNA-seq]

Project description:The three-dimensional organization of chromatin has a critical impact on the regulation of gene expression. However, little is known about the effect of DNA copy number variants (CNVs) on chromatin organization. We performed an allele-specific chromatin conformation and gene expression analysis of wild-type (WT) mouse chromosome 4 and an engineered 4.3Mb chromosome 4 deletion in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. A newly developed quantitative framework for the analysis of paired-end 4C-seq data revealed a number of significant differentially interacting regions (DIRs) and higher-order chromatin compaction changes present in the deletion chromosome. Selected DIRs were validated by 3D DNA FISH experiments. We discovered a significant enrichment of CTCF and Smc1 binding sites within DIRs, as well as differentially expressed genes determined by RNA-Seq. Together, our findings highlight the complex effects of a 4E2 CNV on chromatin structure and function, both locally in the deletion chromosome and globally in the WT copy.

Sequence and parent-of-origin dependent m6A contribute to allele-specific gene expression [GLORI]

Project description:Multiple regulatory layers influence allele-specific expression (ASE), particularly through sequence-dependent and parent-of-origin-dependent mechanisms at the transcriptional level. However, little is known about allele-specific gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we conduct transcriptome-wide analysis of allele-specific m6A in mice. Using early postnatal cerebellum and cerebrum samples from reciprocal crosses of two divergent mouse strains, we employed quantitative m6A assays to measure allelic differences in m6A at single-base resolution. Our study reveals widespread sequence-dependent allelic imbalance in m6A methylation, identifying thousands of allele-specific m6A (ASm6A) sites with statistically significant and reproducible allelic methylation differences across diverse samples. We find evidence of potential cis-regulatory variants within 50-nt flanking regions of these ASm6A sites, with the highest enrichment at the motif positions. Intriguingly, we detect parental effects on allelic methylation across m6A sites exhibiting parent-of-origin-dependent ASE. For both sequence- and parent-of-origin-dependent allelic m6A methylation, we observe opposing allelic preferences between methylation and expression, suggesting a potential role of ASm6A in regulating ASE through negative effects on gene expression. Overall, our findings reveal that both cis-acting and parent-of-origin effects influence ASm6A, offering new insights into post-transcriptional mechanisms of ASE regulation.

CTCF-mediated 3D chromatin predetermines the gene expression program in the male germline (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a unidirectional differentiation process to produce haploid sperm. However, it remains largely unknown how the gene expression program is determined to direct a unidirectional differentiation. Here we unveil the high-resolution 3D chromatin architecture of male germ cells and show that CTCF-mediated 3D chromatin predetermines the gene expression program required for spermatogenesis. At the mitosis-to-meiosis transition, the germline-specific Polycomb protein SCML2 resolves chromatin loops specific to mitotic spermatogonia. On autosomes, CTCF-mediated 3D chromatin manifests the structural feature of meiosis-specific super-enhancer (meiotic SE) loci already in undifferentiated spermatogonia. In meiotic spermatocytes, the master transcription factor A-MYB is recruited to these meiotic SE loci to strengthen their 3D contacts to instruct the burst of meiotic gene expression. Further, SCML2 and A-MYB establish unique 3D chromatin of the sex chromosomes in meiotic sex chromosome inactivation. We propose that CTCF-mediated 3D chromatin underlines epigenetic priming to direct unidirectional differentiation, thereby determining the cellular identity of the male germline.
