Project description:Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie thirteen neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington’s disease (HD). Upon expansion, CAG/CTG repeat loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics. This observation raises the hypothesis that repeat expansion provokes changes to higher-order chromatin conformation and thereby affects both gene expression in cis and the genetic instability of the repeat tract. Here we tested this hypothesis directly by performing 4C sequencing at the DMPK and HTT loci from DM1 and HD patient-derived cells. Surprisingly, chromatin contacts remain unchanged upon repeat expansion at both loci. This was true for expanded alleles with different DNA methylation levels and CTCF binding. Repeat tract sizes ranging from 15 to 1,700 repeats displayed strikingly similar chromatin interaction profiles. Moreover, the ectopic insertion of an expanded CAG repeat tract did not change the three-dimensional chromatin conformation of the surrounding genomic region. Our findings argue that extensive changes in heterochromatic properties are not enough to alter chromatin conformation at expanded CAG/CTG repeat loci. We conclude that 3D chromatin conformation is unlikely to drive repeat expansions or changes in gene expression in expanded CAG/CTG repeat disorders.

Project description:We developed a targeted chromosome conformation capture (4C) approach that uses unique molecular identifiers (UMI) to derive high complexity quantitative chromosome contact profiles with controlled signal to noise ratios. We demonstrate that the method improves the sensitivity and specificity for detection of long-range chromosomal interactions, and that it allows the design of interaction screens with predictable statistical power. UMI-4C robustly quantifies contact intensity changes between cell types and conditions, opening the way toward incorporation of long-range interactions in quantitative models of gene regulation. We constructed UMI-4C profiles of 13 different genomic loci (viewpoints) in five different cell lines, in order to study the 3D chromatin contact maps of these selected loci. The coordinates for these viewpoints are: G1p1 chrX:48646542; baitG1_3_5kb chrX:48641393; bait_50kb chrX:48595987; bait_165kb chrX:48476525; ANK1 chr8:41654693; hbb_3HS chr11:5221346; hbb_HBB chr11:5248714; hbb_HBBP1_G1 chr11:5266532; HBB_HBE chr11:5292159; HBB_HS2 chr11:5301345; HBB_HS3 chr11:5306690; HBB_HS5 chr11:5313539; HBB_HBD chr11:5256597

Project description:We report the application of 4C-seq for analysis of the 3’ end of he Igh locus during B cell development. We generated genome-wide 4C maps for BM derived Rag2-/- pro-B cells, resting splenic B cells, LPS+IL4 activated B cells and ConA stimulated splenic T cells using two viewpoints, Em and hs4 located in 3’Ea. We find that long range interactions are present only on B lineage cells reflecting enhancer activation status.

Project description:High-resolution methods such as 4C and Capture-C enable the study of chromatin loops such as those formed between promoters and enhancers or CTCF/cohesin binding sites. An important aspect of 4C/CapC analyses is the identification of robust peaks in the data for the identification of chromatin loops. Here we present an R package for the analysis of 4C/CapC data. We generated 4C data for 10 viewpoints in 2 tissues in triplicate to test our methods. We developed a non-parametric peak caller based on rank-products. Sampling analysis shows that not read depth but template quality is the most important determinant of success in 4C experiments. By performing peak calling on single experiments we show that the peak calling results are similar to the replicate experiments, but that false positive rates are significantly reduced by performing replicates.

Project description:Chromosome conformation capture (4C-Seq) in Drosophila Twist-H2B embryos (carrying nuclear tag specifically in the mesoderm) during embryogenesis was performed, anchoring on 107 different viewpoints. Two timepoints (3-4hrs and 6-8hrs after egg laying) and two tissue context (whole embryo and mesoderm) were assayed. Two independent collections were performed at each timepoint.

Project description:The SHOX2 transcription factor is required during mouse embryonic development for the formation of the proximal elements of limbs, the humerus and femur. The Shox2 gene is flanked by an extensive gene desert spanning over 500 kilobases (kb) that contains many evolutionarily conserved elements with predicted cis-regulatory activities. However, the transcriptional enhancer potential of the vast majority of these regions have not yet been assessed. Therefore, we have generated a map of the Shox2 regulatory landscape during limb development using chromosome conformation capture techniques (4C-Seq). We report that at least five enhancers, distributed over more than 500 kb interact with the Shox2 gene and control its expression in developing proximal limbs, as confirmed by transgenic mouse assays. Furthermore, by using two of the identified enhancer candidates as 4C-seq viewpoints, we also find evidence that three of these putative enhancers interact with each other as well as the Shox2 gene, perhaps forming a cooperative regulatory complex. We expect this study to provide insight into the regulation of the human SHOX gene, a closely-related homolog of Shox2, that is similarly flanked by a large gene desert. Notably, deletions within the gene desert downstream of human SHOX are implicated as a major cause of the limb deformities characteristic of Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis.

Project description:Chromatin organization is crucial for nuclear functions such as gene regulation, DNA replication and DNA repair. Insulator binding proteins, such as the Drosophila Boundary Element-Associated Factor (BEAF), are involved in chromatin organization. To further understand the role of BEAF, we detected cis- and trans-interaction partners of four BEAF binding regions (viewpoints) using 4C (circular chromosome conformation capture) and analyzed their association with different genomic features. Previous genome-wide mapping found that BEAF usually binds near transcription start sites, often of housekeeping genes, so our viewpoints were selected to reflect this. Our 4C data show the interaction partners of our viewpoints are highly variable and generally enriched for active chromatin marks. The most consistent association was with housekeeping genes, a feature in common with our viewpoints. Fluorescence in situ hybridization indicated that the long-distance interactions occur even in the absence of BEAF. These data are most consistent with a model in which BEAF is redundant with other factors found at active promoters. Our results point to principles of long-distance interactions made by active chromatin, supporting a previously proposed model in which condensed chromatin is sticky and associates into topologically associating domains (TADs) separated by active chromatin. We propose that the highly variable long-distance interactions we detect are driven by redundant factors that open chromatin to promote transcription, combined with active chromatin filling spaces between TADs while packing of TADs relative to each other varies from cell to cell.

Project description:We performed 4C-seq in the A549 cell line to investigate changes in chromatin interactions at the ZBTB16 locus. Cells were treated with either 100 nM dexamethasone or 0.1% ethanol. After 4 hours, cells were washed 2x with PBS and cultured in hormone-free medium for 24 hours, after which cells were treated again for 4 hours with either 100 nM dexamethasone or 0.1% ethanol. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates. For each treatment, 4C-seq data were generated for the following two viewpoints: ZBTB16 promoter-proximal viewpoint coordinates: chr11:113929670-113930464 (hg19) ZBTB16 intronic viewpoint coordinates: chr11:114051224-114051804 (hg19)

Project description:Regulatory DNA elements can control expression of distant genes via physical interactions. Here, we present a cost-effective methodology and computational analysis pipeline for robust characterization of the physical organization around selected promoters and other functional elements using Chromosome Conformation Capture combined with high-throughput sequencing (4C-seq) data. Our approach can be multiplexed and routinely integrated with other functional genomics assays to facilitate physical characterization of gene regulation. A high resolution 4C-seq protocol involving two restriction digests and a revised analysis pipeline was applied to several viewpoints in four genomic loci (the well-characterized alpha-globin and beta-globin loci, and the novel Oct4 and Satb1 loci), allowing robust detection of physical interactions between regulatory DNA elements.
