Project description:Purpose: To compare the interaction of various proteins (in particular Lap2b and Lamin A) at the nuclear periphery with the Lamina Associated Domains (LADs) Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow (LADetector, available at https://github.com/thereddylab/LADetector), We found near identical sequences within the genome-wide maps indicating that LAP2β and Lamin A, and hence LaminB1, are in close proximity to all LADs, suggesting that these proteins are not involved in discriminating subsets of LADs.
Project description:DamID LaminB1 data were generated in POU2F1-/- MEFs to study the potential role of POU2F1/Oct1 in genome - nuclear lamina interactions. DamID LaminA data were generated in NPCs and Astrocytes to study similarities/differences between LaminA and LaminB1 binding. Comparison of MEF wt versus MEF POU2F1-/-. Comparison of LaminA (NPC & AC) with LaminB1 (NPC & AC data in GSE17051)
Project description:DamID LaminB1 data were generated in POU2F1-/- MEFs to study the potential role of POU2F1/Oct1 in genome - nuclear lamina interactions. DamID LaminA data were generated in NPCs and Astrocytes to study similarities/differences between LaminA and LaminB1 binding. The procedure to arrive at the provided Hidden Markov Model (HMM) state calls is as follows: We fitted a two-state HMM whereby emissions are distributed as Student's t variables. Mean and variance of DamID signals differ between states, but the degree of freedom (nu) is the same. Gaps in the probe coverage were filled by evenly spaced null probe-values. The parameters were estimated by an adaptation of the ECME algorithm to the HMM framework, showing faster convergence than regular EM when nu is unknown (Filion et al., Cell, 2010). State calls were derived through the Viterbi algorithm. This process was repeated separately for each cell type, yielding per-probe calls. Probes in the ‘bound’ (1) state are indicated as LAD-probes, probes in the ‘unbound’ (0) state as inter-LAD-probes.
Project description:In mammalian nuclei, transcriptionally active genomic regions tend to localize to the interior of the nucleus while inactive regions are often located at at the nuclear lamina. In this study we activated specific genes in lamina-associated domains by TALE-VP64 or CRISPRa-mediated activation. We also reduced transcription of individual genes by knockout of promoter/enhancer regions, or by insertion of a transcription termination sequence. In each case we generated genome-wide DamID maps to determine changes in nuclear lamina interactions, and in selected cases we also generated Repli-seq maps and/or RNAseq data.

Project description:Tcrb locus V(D)J recombination is regulated by positioning at the nuclear periphery. Here we used DamID to profile Tcrb locus interactions with the nuclear lamina at high-resolution. We identified a lamina-associated domain (LAD) border composed of several CTCF binding elements that segregates active non-LAD from inactive LAD regions of the locus. Deletion of the LAD border caused an enhancer-dependent spread of H3K27ac from the active recombination center into recombination center-proximal LAD chromatin. This was associated with a disruption to LAD organization, increased chromatin looping to the recombination center, and increased transcription and recombination of recombination center-proximal gene segments. Our results show that a Tcrb locus LAD and LAD border are critical components of Tcrb locus gene regulation and suggest that LAD borders may generally function to constrain the activity of nearby enhancers.
