Project description:The expression of genes with a key function during development is frequently controlled by large regulatory landscapes containing multiple enhancer elements. These landscapes often match Topologically Associating Domains (TADs) and sometimes integrate range of similar enhancers, thus leading to TADs having a global regulatory specificity. To assess the relative functional importance of enhancer sequences versus the regulatory domain they are included in, we set out to transfer one particular enhancer sequence from its native domain into a TAD with a closely related, yet different functional specificity. We used Hoxd genes and their biphasic regulation during limb development as a paradigm, since they are first activated in proximal limb cells by enhancers located in one TAD, which is then silenced at the time when the neighboring TAD starts to activate its enhancers in distal limb cells. We introduced a strong distal limb enhancer into the ‘proximal limb TAD’ and found that its new context strongly suppresses its distal specificity, even though it continues to be bound by HOX13 transcription factors, which normally are responsible for this activity. Using local genetic alterations and chromatin conformation measurements, we see that the enhancer is capable of interacting with target genes, with a pattern comparable to its adoptive neighborhood of enhancers. Its activity in distal limb cells can be rescued only when a large portion of the surrounding environment is removed. These results indicate that, at least in some cases, the functioning of enhancer elements is subordinated to the local chromatin context, which can exert a dominant control over its activity.
