Project description:Identification of cell type-specific cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial for understanding development and disease, although identification of functional regulatory elements remains challenging. We hypothesized that context-specific CREs could be identified by context-specific non-coding RNA (ncRNA) profiling, based on the observation that active CREs produce ncRNAs. We applied ncRNA profiling to identify rod and cone photoreceptor CREs from wild-type and mutant mouse retinas, defined by presence or absence, respectively, of the rod-specific transcription factor (TF) Nrl Nrl-dependent ncRNA expression strongly correlated with epigenetic profiles of rod and cone photoreceptors, identified thousands of candidate rod- and cone-specific CREs, and identified motifs for rod- and cone-specific TFs. Colocalization of NRL and the retinal TF CRX correlated with rod-specific ncRNA expression, whereas CRX alone favored cone-specific ncRNA expression, providing quantitative evidence that heterotypic TF interactions distinguish cell type-specific CRE activity. We validated the activity of novel Nrl-dependent ncRNA-defined CREs in developing cones. This work supports differential ncRNA profiling as a platform for the identification of cell type-specific CREs and the discovery of molecular mechanisms underlying TF-dependent CRE activity.

Project description:Enhancers harbor instructions encoded for the interactions between cis-elements and transcription factors to orchestrate lineage specific gene programs. Here we developed a modified method for chromosome conformation capture (3C), named MID Hi-C, to reveal how in mouse embryonic stem cells differential cooperation of enhancers and the chromatin remodeler BAF, as instructed by the underlying transcription factor motifs, modulate enhancer-promoter communication. We show that BAF-dependent enhancers permit genomic interactions beyond enhancer boundaries. BAF-dependent enhancers do not dictate genomic interactions within enhancer-promoter loop domains but rather act to instruct remote enhancer-promoter communication. In contrast, BAF-independent enhancers interact with promoter regions within tightly insulated enhancer-promoter loop domains that are marked by promoter and enhancer boundary elements. In addition, enhancer activeness modulated by BAF enforces compartment segregation. Based on these observations, we propose that enhancer cis elements instruct with great precision BAF-induced enhancer-promoter communication and compartmental segregation.

Project description:Mutations in protein-coding genes are well established as the basis for human cancer, yet it remains elusive how alterations within non-coding genome, a substantial fraction of which contain cis-regulatory elements, contribute to cancer pathophysiology largely due to lack of high throughput assays to assess their functional effects. Here we developed an integrative approach to systematically identify and characterize non-coding regulatory variants in human hematopoietic malignancies by combining targeted resequencing, mutation discovery, CRISPR-based enhancer-selective epigenome editing, and enhancer reporter assays. We identify 4,629 recurrent non-coding alterations and 939 mutation-associated pathogenic enhancers controlling proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Enhancer variants at KRAS and PER2 co-localize with nuclear receptor (NR) binding sites and modulate transcriptional activities in response to NR signaling in leukemia cells. NR binding sites frequently associate with non-coding variants across cancer types. Hence, recurrent non-coding somatic variants connect enhancer dysregulation with nuclear receptor signaling in hematopoietic malignancies.

Project description:Higher order chromatin structure establishes domains that organize the genome and coordinate gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling transcription of individual loci within a topological domain (TAD) are not fully understood. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene provides a paradigm for investigating these mechanisms. CFTR occupies a TAD bordered by CTCF/cohesin binding sites within which are cell-type-selective cis-regulatory elements for the locus. We showed previously that intronic and extragenic enhancers, when occupied by specific transcription factors, are recruited to the CFTR promoter by a looping mechanism to drive gene expression. Here we use a combination of CRISPR/Cas9 editing of cis-regulatory elements and siRNA-mediated depletion of architectural proteins to determine the relative contribution of structural elements and enhancers to the higher order structure and expression of the CFTR locus. We found the boundaries of the CFTR TAD are conserved among diverse cell types and are dependent on CTCF and cohesin complex. Removal of an upstream CTCF-binding insulator alters the interaction profile, but has little effect on CFTR expression. Within the TAD, intronic enhancers recruit cell-type selective transcription factors and deletion of a pivotal enhancer element dramatically decreases CFTR expression, but has minor effect on its 3D structure.

Project description:Many genes harbour multiple transcriptional enhancers that act concomitantly to achieve robust and precise spatial-temporal expression. In vertebrates, however, the mechanisms underlying cooperation between cis-acting elements are poorly documented. The mouse gene Krox20 encodes a transcription factor required for the specification of two segments (rhombomeres) of the developing hindbrain. In rhombomere 3, Krox20 is subject to positive feedback, governed by enhancer A, which is directly bound by the KROX20 protein, whereas another element, C, distant from 70 kb, was supposed to be only required for initiation of expression. Here, using both enhancer knock-outs and investigations of chromatin organisation, we show that element C possesses a dual activity: besides its classical enhancer function, it is also permanently required in cis to potentiate element A autoregulatory activity, by increasing its chromatin accessibility. This work uncovers a novel, asymmetrical, long-range mode of cooperation between cis-acting elements that might be essential to avoid promiscuous activation of positive autoregulatory elements.
