Project description:Whereas folding of mammalian genomes at the large scale of epigenomic compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs) is now relatively well-understood, how chromatin is folded below this scale remains largely unexplored in mammals. Here, we overcome this limitation using a high-resolution 3C-based method, Micro-C, and probe the links between 3D-genome organization and transcriptional regulation in mouse stem cells. Combinatorial binding of transcription factors, cofactors, and chromatin modifiers spatially segregate TAD regions into various finer-scale structures with distinct regulatory features (i.e. stripes, dots, and domains linking promoter-promoter (P-P) or enhancer-promoter (E-P), and bundle contacts between Polycomb regions). E-P stripes extending from the edge of domains predominantly link co-expressed loci, often independently of CTCF and cohesin occupancy. Acute inhibition of transcription disrupts the gene-related folding features without altering higher-order chromatin structures. Analysis of ligation events sheds light on both the putative loop extrusion model and the “two-start” zig-zag 30-nanometer model of the chromatin fiber. Our work uncovers the finer-scale genome organization that establishes novel functional links between chromatin folding and gene regulation.

Project description:Whereas folding of genomes at the large scale of epigenomic compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs) is now relatively well understood, how chromatin is folded at finer scales remains largely unexplored in mammals. Here, we overcome some limitations of conventional 3C-based methods by using high-resolution Micro-C to probe links between 3D genome organization and transcriptional regulation in mouse stem cells. Combinatorial binding of transcription factors, cofactors, and chromatin modifiers spatially segregates TAD regions into various finer-scale structures with distinct regulatory features including stripes, dots, and domains linking promoters-to-promoters (P-P) or enhancers-to-promoters (E-P) and bundle contacts between Polycomb regions. E-P stripes extending from the edge of domains predominantly link co-expressed loci, often in the absence of CTCF and cohesin occupancy. Acute inhibition of transcription disrupts these gene-related folding features without altering higher-order chromatin structures. Our study uncovers previously obscured finer-scale genome organization, establishing functional links between chromatin folding and gene regulation.

Project description:The folding of genomic DNA from the beads-on-a-string like structure of nucleosomes into higher order assemblies is thought to be critically linked to nuclear processes, but it is unclear to what degree it is a cause or consequence of function. We have calculated the first 3D structural models of entire mammalian genomes using data from a new chromosome conformation capture protocol that allows us to first image and then process single cells. This has allowed us to study the folding of chromosomes down to a sub-100 kb scale. We show that the structures of individual topological-associated domains, chromosomes, and the way they pack together, varies very substantially from cell-to-cell. However, in all cells we find a consistent large-scale organization of compartments, with active enhancers and promoters clustering near inter-chromosomal interfaces, suggesting that nuclear processes such as transcription may drive chromosome and genome folding.

Project description:Here we describe the principles of 3D genome folding dynamics in vertebrates and show how lineage-specific patterns of genome reshuffling can result in different chromatin configurations. We (i) identified different patterns of chromosome folding across vertebrate species, (ii) reconstructed ancestral marsupial and afrotherian genomes analyzing whole-genome sequences of 10 species representative of the major therian phylogroups, (iii) detected lineage-specific chromosome rearrangements and (iv) identified the dynamics of the structural properties of genome reshuffling through therian evolution.

Project description:Type II topoisomerases (TOP2s) resolve torsional stress accumulated during various cellular processes and are enriched at chromatin loop anchors and TAD boundaries, where, when trapped, can lead to genomic instability promoting the formation of oncogenic fusions. Whether TOP2s relieve topological constraints at these positions and/or participate in 3D chromosome folding, remains unclear. Here, we combine 3D genomics, imaging and GapRUN, a method for the genome-wide profiling of positive supercoiling, to assess the role of TOP2s in shaping chromosome organization in human cells. Acute TOP2 depletion led to the emergence of new, large-scale contacts at the boundaries between active, positively supercoiled and lamina-associated domains. TOP2-dependent changes at the higher-order chromatin folding were accompanied by remodeling of chromatin-nuclear lamina interactions and of gene expression, while at the chromatin loop level, TOP2 depletion predominantly remodeled transcriptionally-anchored, positively supercoiled loops. We propose that TOP2s act as a fine-regulator of chromosome folding at multiple scales.
