Project description:ABSTRACT The binding of the transcriptional regulator CTCF to the genome has been implicated in the formation of topologically associated domains (TADs). However, the general mechanisms of folding the genome into TADs are not fully understood. Here, we tested the effects of deleting a CTCF-rich locus on TAD boundary formation. Using genome-wide chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), we focus on one TAD boundary on chromosome X harboring ~15 CTCF binding sites, and located at the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) locus Firre. Specifically, this TAD boundary is invariant across evolution, tissues, and temporal dynamics of X-chromosome inactivation. We demonstrate that neither the deletion of this locus, nor the ectopic insertion of Firre cDNA or its ectopic expression are sufficient to alter TADs in a sex-, or allele-specific manner. In contrast, Firre’s deletion disrupts the chromatin super-loop formation of the inactive X-chromosome. Collectively, our findings suggest that apart from CTCF binding, additional mechanisms may play roles in establishing TAD boundary formation. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:The mammalian HoxD cluster is positioned at the boundary between two topologically associating domains (TADs), each of them matching a distinct, enhancer-rich regulatory landscape. During limb development, the telomeric TAD controls the early phase of Hoxd gene transcription in future forearm cells, whereas the centromeric TAD subsequently regulates transcription of more posterior Hoxd genes in presumptive digit cells. The TAD boundary is essential as it prevents the terminal Hoxd13 gene to respond to potent forearm enhancers, thereby allowing the formation of proper proximal limb structures. Here we apply chromosome conformation capture onto embryonic proximal and distal limb bud cells micro-dissected from a set of nested deletions involving part- or all- of this boundary region to try to understand the nature and function of this CTCF- and cohesin-rich DNA region. We document a progressive release of the boundary effect, allowing for inter-TAD contacts to be established, which were favoured by the functional status of the newly accessed enhancers. However, the boundary was highly resilient and only a 400kb large deletion including the whole gene cluster was eventually able to merge the two neighbouring TADs into a single structure. We propose that the whole HoxD cluster is a dynamic transcriptional boundary, showing slight variations depending on both the transcriptional status and the ontogenetic context
