Antisense lncRNA transcription mediates DNA demethylation to drive stochastic Protocadherin α promoter choice

Project description:Stochastic activation of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) α, β, and γ genes generates a cell-surface identity code in individual neurons that functions in neural circuit assembly. Here, we show that Pcdhα gene choice involves the activation of an antisense promoter located in the first exon of each Pcdhα alternate gene. Transcription of an antisense long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) from this antisense promoter extends through the sense promoter, leading to DNA demethylation of the CTCF binding sites proximal to each promoter. Demethylation-dependent CTCF binding to both promoters facilitates cohesin-mediated DNA looping with a distal enhancer (HS5-1), locking in the transcriptional state of the chosen Pcdhα gene. Uncoupling DNA demethylation from antisense transcription by Tet3 overexpression in mouse olfactory neurons promotes CTCF binding to all Pcdhα promoters, resulting in proximity-biased DNA looping of the HS5-1 enhancer. Thus, antisense transcription-mediated promoter demethylation functions as a mechanism for distance-independent enhancer/promoter DNA looping to ensure stochastic Pcdhα promoter choice.

Systematic Functional Characterization of Antisense eRNA of Protocadherin alpha HS5-1 Enhancer

Project description:Enhancers generate bidirectional noncoding enhancer RNAs (eRNA) that may regulate gene expression. At present, the eRNA function remains enigmatic. Here, we report a 5’ capped antisense eRNA PEARL (Pcdh eRNA associated with R-loop formation) that is transcribed from the protocadherin (Pcdh) alpha HS5-1 enhancer region. Through loss- and gain-of-function experiments with CRISPR/Cas9 DNA-fragment editing, CRISPRi, and CRISPRa as well as locked nucleic acid strategies, in conjunction with ChIRP, MeDIP, DRIP, QHR-4C, and HiChIP experiments, we find that PEARL regulates Pcdh alpha gene expression by forming local RNA-DNA duplexes (R-loops) in situ within the HS5-1 enhancer region to promote long-distance chromatin interactions between distal enhancer and target promoter. In particular, increased levels of eRNA PEARL via perturbing transcription elongation factor SPT6 leads to strengthened local three-dimensional chromatin organization within the Pcdh superTAD. These findings have important implications regarding molecular mechanisms by which the HS5-1 enhancer regulates stochastic Pcdh alpha promoter choice in single cells in the brain.

Cohesin trajectories shape the epigenetic and transcriptional landscape of clustered Protocadherin genes for single neuron identities

Project description:Cellular individuality is often achieved by stochastic expression of single genes within tandemly-arrayed gene families. This principle is epitomized by the stochastic choice of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) genes which generates the extraordinary cell-surface diversity required for neural circuit assembly during development. However, the molecular mechanisms by which this diversity arises are not fully understood. Here, we show that stochastic Pcdh gene choice requires “escape” from silent heterochromatin by a distal transcriptional enhancer. These enhancer/promoter encounters, that lead to promoter derepression, are catalyzed by cohesin, whose processivity, density and stalling at boundaries define the probability of choice of Pcdh genes by determining the probability of enhancer/promoter contacts in mouse olfactory sensory and cortical neurons. We propose that coupling between an epigenetic switch and the modularity of cohesin trajectories allows for different Pcdh profiles to arise across neuronal cell-types, underlying the diversities of their morphologies and functions in the nervous system. More broadly these principles add a layer of regulatory finesse for the generation of transcription diversity from genes arranged in clusters.

WAPL functions as a rheostat of Protocadherin isoform diversity that controls neural wiring

Project description:Neural-type specific expression of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins is essential for the establishment of connectivity patterns during brain development. In mammals, deterministic expression of the same Pcdh isoform promotes minimal overlap of tiled projections of serotonergic neuron axons throughout the brain, while stochastic expression of Pcdh genes allows for convergence of tightly packed overlapping olfactory sensory neuron axons into targeted structures. How can the same gene locus generate opposite transcriptional programs that orchestrate distinct spatial arrangements of axonal patterns? Here, we reveal that cell-type specific Pcdh expression and axonal behavior rest on the activity of cohesin and its unloader WAPL. While cohesin erases genomic-distance biases in Pcdh choice, WAPL functions as a rheostat of cohesin processivity that determines Pcdh isoform diversity.

ER stress transforms stochastic olfactory receptor gene choice into stereotypic axon guidance programs

Project description:Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) transform the stochastic choice of one out of >1000 olfactory receptor (OR) genes into precise and stereotyped axon targeting of OR-specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Here, we show that the PERK arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) regulates both the glomerular coalescence of like axons, and the specificity of their projections. Subtle differences in OR protein sequences lead to distinct patterns of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during OSN development, converting OR identity into distinct gene expression signatures. We identify the transcription factor Ddit3 as a key effector of PERK signaling that maps OR-dependent ER signaling patterns to the transcriptional regulation of axon guidance and cell adhesion genes, instructing targeting precision. Our results extend the known functions of the UPR from a quality control pathway that protects cells from misfolded proteins, to a sensor of cellular identity that interprets physiological states to direct axon wiring.
