Abstract

Mammalian enhancers can regulate genes over large genomic distances, often skipping over other genes. Despite this, precise developmental regulation suggests that mechanisms exist to ensure enhancers only activate their correct targets. Sculpting of three-dimensional chromosome organization through cohesin-dependent loop extrusion is thought to be important for facilitating and constraining enhancer action. The boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs) are thought to prevent enhancers acting on genes in adjacent TADs. However, there are examples where enhancers appear to act across TAD boundaries, but it has remained unclear whether a single enhancer can simultaneously activate genes in different TADs. Here we show that some Shh enhancers can activate transcription concurrently not only at but also at located in an adjacent TAD. This occurs in the context of a chromatin conformation maintaining genes and enhancers in close proximity and is influenced by cohesin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of two endogenous mammalian genes transcribed concurrently under the control of the same enhancer and across a TAD boundary. These findings have implications for understanding the design rules of gene regulatory landscapes and are consistent with a transcription cluster model of enhancer-promoter communication.

摘要

哺乳动物的增强子能够在较大的基因组距离上调控基因,常常跨越其他基因。尽管如此,精确的发育调控表明存在一些机制来确保增强子仅激活其正确的靶标。通过黏连蛋白依赖性的环状挤压来塑造三维染色体结构,被认为对于促进和限制增强子的作用很重要。拓扑相关结构域(TADs)的边界被认为可以防止增强子作用于相邻TAD中的基因。然而,有一些例子表明增强子似乎可以跨越TAD边界发挥作用,但单个增强子是否能同时激活不同TAD中的基因仍不清楚。在这里,我们表明一些Shh增强子不仅可以同时激活位于 处的转录,还能激活位于相邻TAD中的 处的转录。这发生在染色质构象使基因和增强子紧密相邻的情况下,并且受到黏连蛋白的影响。据我们所知,这是首次报道两个内源性哺乳动物基因在同一增强子的控制下并跨越TAD边界同时转录。这些发现对于理解基因调控景观的设计规则具有启示意义,并且与增强子 - 启动子通讯的转录簇模型一致。
