Project description:B-cell development is dependent on the coordinated expression and cooperation of several transcription factors. Here, we show that the transcription factor ETS Related Gene (ERG) is crucial for normal B-cell development, and that its deletion results in a substantial loss of bone marrow B-cell progenitors and peripheral B-cells as well as a skewing of splenic B-cell populations. We found that ERG-deficient B-lineage cells exhibited an early developmental block, at the pre-B cell stage, and proliferated less. The cells failed to express the immunoglobulin heavy chain due to inefficient V-to-DJ recombination and cells that managed to undergo recombination displayed a strong bias against incorporation of distal V gene segments. Furthermore, antisense transcription at PAX5-activated intergenic repeat (PAIR) elements located in the distal region of the Igh locus was completely dependent on ERG. These findings identify ERG as a novel critical regulator of B-cell development by ensuring efficient and balanced V-to-DJ recombination.

Project description:Class Switch Recombination (CSR) is a DNA recombination reaction that diversifies the effector component of antibody responses. CSR is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which targets transcriptionally active immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) switch donor and acceptor DNA. The 3’ Igh super-enhancer, 3’ Regulatory Region (3’RR), is essential for acceptor region transcription, but how this function is regulated is unknown. Here we identify the chromatin reader ZMYND8 as an essential regulator of the 3’RR and CSR. In B cells, ZMYND8 binds promoters and super-enhancers, including the 3’RR, and controls its activity by modulating the enhancer transcriptional status. In its absence, there is increased 3’RR polymerase loading, and decreased acceptor region transcription and CSR. In addition to CSR, ZMYND8 deficiency impairs somatic hypermutation (SHM) of Igh, which is also dependent on the 3’RR. Thus ZMYND8 controls Igh diversification in mature B lymphocytes by regulating the activity of the 3’ Igh super-enhancer.

Project description:Assembly, expression and maturation of the Immunoglobulin heavy (IgH) chain repertoire necessitates long-range 3D-interactions under regulation by the IgH locus Eµ and 3’ regulatory region (3’RR) super-enhancers. In progenitors, Eµ instrumentally supports VDJ recombination notably towards distal VH genes. In mature cells, the 3’RR first boosts the production of membrane-type IgH transcripts. It later attracts Activation-induced cytidine deaminase at three specific locations: VDJ genes undergoing somatic hypermutation (SHM), switch regions undergoing class switch recombination (CSR), and the 3’RR itself during locus suicide recombination (LSR). In plasma cells devoted to abundant Ig secretion, a late long-range effect is to promote high IgH transcription. The Mediator subunit Med1, which binds super-enhancers and has increased activity after phosphorylation by ERK, was previously attributed a role restricted to class-switched cells. We now show its broader impact on IgH expression, both by promoting recombination of distal VH genes in progenitors and by later supporting SHM. Med1-dependence also marks all long-range functions of the 3’RR, including not only intra- but also trans-chromosomal CSR, LSR, optimal BCR expression and the transcriptional boost featured by plasma cells. Altogether, Med1 appears as a major and specific actor of all the long-range tasks effected by the IgH locus super-enhancers beyond transcription.

Project description:Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region exons are assembled in progenitor-B cells, from VH, D, and JH gene segments located in separate clusters across the Igh locus. RAG endonuclease orchestrates V(D)J recombination from a JH-based recombination center (RC). Cohesin-mediated extrusion of upstream chromatin past RC-bound RAG presents Ds for joining to JHs to form a DJHRC, from which RAG scans upstream for VHs to assemble VHDJH exons in an ordered recombination process. Cohesin-mediated chromatin loop extrusion is impeded by CTCF-bound elements (CBEs), with extrusion between two CBEs, particularly if convergently-oriented, forming chromatin-contact loops genome-wide. Igh has provocative CBE organization, with two divergently-oriented CBEs (CBE1 and CBE2) in the IGCR1 element between the VH and D/JH domains, dozens of VH domain CBEs convergent to CBE1, and 10 3'Igh-CBEs convergent to CBE2. IGCR1 CBEs segregate D/JH and VH domains by impeding RAG-scanning. After DJH formation, down-regulation of WAPL, a cohesin unloader, neutralizes IGCR1 and VH-domain CBEs, allowing RAG to scan the VH domain. To elucidate potential mechanisms underlying the developmental transition from D-to-JH to VH-to-DJH recombination and potential roles of IGCR1-based CBEs and 3'Igh-CBEs in regulating RAG-scanning, we tested effects of deleting or inverting IGCR1 or 3'Igh-CBEs in mice and/or progenitor-B cell lines. These studies revealed that normal IGCR1 CBE orientation augments its RAG-scanning impediment activity and that the 3'Igh-CBEs reinforce RC activity as a dynamic loop extrusion impediment, thereby, increasing its ability to support V(D)J recombination. Finally, our findings implicate a mechanism by which developmental WAPL down-regulation contributes to ordered V(D)J recombination.
