Project description:This study was designed to investigate DNA supercoiling across the human genome and to understand how supercoiling domains impact on higher levels of genome organisation. DNA supercoiling is an inherent consequence of twisting DNA and is critical for regulating gene expression and DNA replication. However, DNA supercoiling at a genomic scale in human cells is uncharacterized. To map supercoiling we used biotinylated-trimethylpsoralen as a DNA structure probe to show the genome is organized into supercoiling domains. Domains are formed and remodeled by RNA polymerase and topoisomerase activities and are flanked by GC-AT boundaries and CTCF binding sites. Under-wound domains are transcriptionally active, enriched in topoisomerase I, M-bM-^@M-^\openM-bM-^@M-^] chromatin fibers and DNaseI sites, but are depleted of topoisomerase II. Furthermore DNA supercoiling impacts on additional levels of chromatin compaction as under-wound domains are cytologically decondensed, topologically constrained, and decompacted by transcription of short RNAs. We suggest that supercoiling domains create a topological environment that facilitates gene activation providing an evolutionary purpose for clustering genes along chromosomes. The binding of bTMP, as a reporter for DNA supercoiling, was investigated in RPE1 cells. Experiments were biological replicates

Project description:We developed an efficient method to map DNA supercoils that quantifies genome-wide incorporation of biotinylated psoralen using high throughput DNA sequencing and applied it to C. elegans. We discovered that GC-rich regions flanked by sharp GC/AT boundaries delineate the extent of negative supercoiling at transcription start sites, the regions of DNA accessibility and the positioning of nucleosomes. We also discovered that promoters with either paused or non-paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) exhibit the same level of supercoiling, revealing that supercoiling at transcription start sites is neither the cause nor consequence of Pol II pausing. Furthermore, we found that a condensin complex that mediates X-chromosome dosage compensation in C. elegans creates local negative supercoils at its high-occupancy binding sites on X but does not create large domains of supercoiling across X to achieve dosage compensation. We also developed a new high-throughput method to map single-stranded DNA and alternative DNA structures, including Z DNA. The approach combines potassium permanganate footprinting and a technique to sequence rare double-stranded breaks. We discovered that GC-rich regions flanked by sharp GC/AT boundaries determine the width of single-stranded DNA regions at transcription start sites. Moreover, AT-rich sequences bordered by a change in GC content delineate Z DNA at transcription end sites and in introns as well as non-B DNA at trans-splicing acceptor sites that comprise the 5' ends of most mature mRNAs in C. elegans. Our analysis suggests that a sharp transition in GC content rather than the GC content by itself creates alternative DNA structures.
