Paper
Widespread contribution of transposable elements to the rewiring of mammalian 3D genomes and gene regulation
2022
Overview
Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors of genetic material in mammalian genomes. These often include binding sites for architectural proteins, including the multifarious master protein, CTCF. These TE-derived architectural protein binding sites shape the 3D genome by creating loops, domains, and compartments borders as well as RNA-DNA chromatin interactions, all of which play a role in the compact packaging of DNA in the nucleus and have the potential to facilitate regulatory function.In this study, we explore the widespread contribution of TEs to mammalian 3D genomes by quantifying the extent to which they give rise to loops and domain border differences across various cell types and species using a variety of 3D genome mapping technologies. We show that specific (sub-)families of TEs have significantly contributed to lineage-specific 3D chromatin structures in specific mammals. In many cases, these loops have the potential to facilitate interactionbetween distant cis-regulatory elements and target genes, and domains have the potential to segregate chromatin state to impact gene expression in a lineage-specific and cell-type-specific manner. Backing our extensive conformation study cataloguing and computational analyses, we perform experimental validation using CRISPR-Cas9 to delete one such candidate TE and show disruption of species-specific 3D chromatin structure. Taken together, we comprehensively quantify and selectivelyvalidate our finding that TEs contribute significantly to 3D genome organizationand continuously shape it to affect gene regulation during the course of mammalian evolution over deep time.
