We developed a 32 lineage-selective method to map transcriptional enhancers, regulatory genomic regions that 33 activate transcription, in mice. Since most tissue-specific enhancers are bound by the 34 transcriptional co-activator Ep300, we used Cre-directed, lineage-specific Ep300 biotinylation 35 and pulldown on immobilized streptavidin followed by next generation sequencing of 36 co-precipitated DNA to indentify lineage-specific enhancers. By driving this system with 37 lineage-specific Cre transgenes, we mapped enhancers active in embryonic endothelial 38 cells/blood or skeletal muscle. Analysis of these enhancers identified new transcription factor 39 heterodimer motifs that likely regulate transcription in these lineages. Furthermore, we 40 identified candidate enhancers that regulate adult heart- or lung- specific endothelial cell 41 specialization. Our strategy for tissue-specific protein biotinylation opens new avenues for 42 studying lineage-specific protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. 43 44 Keywords: transcriptional enhancer; endothelial cell; angiogenesis; Ep300 45 - 2 - 46 Introduction 47 The diverse cell types of a multicellular organism share the same genome but express 48 distinct gene expression programs. In mammals, precise cell-type specific regulation of gene 49 expression depends on transcriptional enhancers, non-coding regions of the genome required 50 to activate expression of their target genes (Visel et al., 2009a; Bulger and Groudine, 2011). 51 Enhancers are bound by transcription factors and transcriptional co-activators, which then 52 contact RNA polymerase 2 engaged at the promoter, stimulating gene transcription. 53 Enhancers are nodal points of transcriptional networks, integrating multiple upstream 54 signals to regulate gene expression. Because enhancers do not have defined sequence or 55 location with respect to their target genes, mapping enhancers is a major bottleneck for 56 delineating transcriptional networks. Recently chromatin immunoprecipitation of enhancer 57 features followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) has been used to map potential enhancer. DNase 58 hypersensitivity (Crawford et al., 2006; Thurman et al., 2012), H3K27ac (histone H3 acetylated 59 on lysine 27) occupancy (Creyghton et al., 2010; Nord et al., 2013), or H3K4me1 (histone H3 60 mono-methylated on lysine 4) occupancy (Heintzman et al., 2007) are chromatin features that 61 have been used to identify cell-type specific enhancers. While most enhancers are DNase 62 hypersensitive, DNase hypersensitive regions are often not active enhancers (Crawford et al., 63 2006; Thurman et al., 2012). H3K27ac is enriched on cell type-specific enhancers (Creyghton 64 et al., 2010; Nord et al., 2013), but may be a less accurate predictor of enhancers than other 65 transcriptional regulators (Dogan et al., 2015). Chromatin occupancy of Ep300, a 66 transcriptional co-activator that catalyzes H3K27ac deposition, has been found to accurately 67 predict active enhancers (Visel et al., 2009b). However, antibodies for Ep300 are marginal for 68 robust ChIP-seq, particularly from tissues, leading to low reproducibility, variation between 69 antibody lots, and inefficient enhancer identification (Gasper et al., 2014). - 3 - 70 Mammalian tissues are composed of multiple cell types, each with their own 71 lineage-specific transcriptional enhancers. Thus defining lineage-specific enhancers from 72 mammalian tissues requires developing strategies that overcome the cellular heterogeneity of 73 mammalian tissues, particularly when the lineage of interest comprises a small fraction of the 74 cells in the tissue. Past efforts to surmount this challenge have taken the strategy of purifying 75 nuclei from the cell type of interest using a lineage-specific tag. For instance, nuclei labeled by 76 lineage-specific expression of a fluorescent protein have been purified by FACS (Bonn et al., 77 2012). This method is limited by the need to dissociate tissues and recover intact nuclei, and 78 by the relatively slow rate of FACS and the need to collect millions of labeled nuclei. To 79 circumvent the FACS bottleneck, cell type-specific overexpression of tagged SUN1, a nuclear 80 envelope protein, has been used to permit affinity purification of nuclei (Deal and Henikoff, 81 2010; Mo et al., 2015). Although this mouse line was reported to be normal, SUN1 82 overexpression potentially could affect cell phenotype and gene regulation (Chen et al., 2012). 83 Chromatin from isolated nuclei are then subjected to ChIP-seq to identify histone signatures of 84 enhancer activity. However, as noted above histone signatures may less accurately predict 85 enhancer activity compared to occupancy by key transcriptional regulators (Dogan et al., 86 2015). 87 Here, we report an approach to identify murine enhancers active in a specific lineage within 88 a tissue. We developed a knock-in allele of Ep300 in which the protein is labeled by the bio 89 peptide sequence (de Boer et al., 2003; He et al., 2011). Cre recombinase-directed, cell type 90 specific expression of BirA, an E. coli enzyme that biotinylates the bio epitope tag (de Boer et 91 al., 2003), allows selective Ep300 ChIP-seq, thereby identifying enhancers active in the cell 92 type of interest. Using this strategy, we identified thousands of endothelial cell (EC) and 93 skeletal muscle lineage enhancers active during embryonic development. Extending the - 4 - 94 approach to adult organs, we defined adult EC enhancers, including enhancers associated 95 with distinct EC gene expression programs in heart compared to lung. Analysis of motifs 96 enriched in EC or skeletal muscle lineage enhancers predicted novel transcription factor motif 97 signatures that govern EC gene expression. 98 Results 99 Efficient identification of enhancers using Ep300fb bioChIP-seq 100 We developed an epitope-tagged Ep300 allele, Ep300fb, in which FLAG and bio epitopes 101 (de Boer et al., 2003; He et al., 2011) were knocked into the C-terminus of endogenous Ep300 102 (Fig. 1A-B and Figure 1 -- figure supplement 1A). Transgenically expressed BirA (Driegen et 103 al., 2005) biotinylates the bio epitope, permitting quantitative Ep300 pull down on streptavidin 104 beads (Fig. 1C). We have not noted abnormal phenotypes. Heart development and function 105 are sensitive to Ep300 gene dosage (Shikama et al., 2003; Wei et al., 2008), yet Ep300fb/fb 106 homozygous mice survived normally (Fig. 1D) and Ep300fb/fb hearts expressed normal levels of 107 Ep300 and had normal size and function (Figure 1 -- figure supplement 1B-E). These data 108 indicate that Ep300fb is not overtly hypomorphic. 109 To evaluate Ep300fb-based mapping of Ep300 chromatin occupancy, we isolated 110 embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from Ep300fb/fb; Rosa26BirA/BirA mice. We then performed Ep300fb 111 biotin-mediated chromatin precipitation followed by sequencing (bioChiP-seq), in which high 112 affinity biotin-streptavidin interaction is used to pull down Ep300 and its associated chromatin 113 (He et al., 2011). Biological duplicate sample signals and peak calls correlated well (93.6% 114 overlap; Spearman r=0.96; Fig. 2A-B). We compared the results to publicly available Ep300 115 antibody ChIP-seq data generated by ENCODE (overlap between duplicate peaks 77.8%; 116 r=0.91; Fig. 2A-B). Ep300 bioChiP-seq identified 48963 Ep300-bound regions ("p300 regions") 117 shared by both replicates, compared to 15281 for Ep300 antibody ChIP-seq (Fig. 2A,C). The - 5 - 118 large majority (89.6%) of Ep300 regions detected by antibody were also found by Ep300 119 bioChiP-seq, and Ep300 signal was substantially stronger using bioChiP-seq (Fig. 2A,C,D). 120 These data indicate that Ep300fb bioChiP-seq has improved sensitivity compared to Ep300 121 antibody ChIP-seq for mapping Ep300 chromatin occupancy in cultured cells. 122 Identification of tissue-specific enhancers using Ep300fb bioChIP-seq 123 We used Ep300fb/+; Rosa26BirA/+ mice to analyze Ep300fb genome-wide occupancy in 124 embryonic heart and forebrain. We performed bioChiP-seq on heart and forebrain from 125 embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) embryos in biological duplicate (Fig. 3A-B). There was high 126 reproducibility (83% and 93%, respectively) between biological duplicates (Fig. 3B and Figure 127 3 -- figure supplement

Neural Development (2019) 14:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13064-019-0129-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Zebrafish prdm12b acts independently of nkx6.1 repression to promote eng1b expression in the neural tube p1 domain Ozge Yildiz1, Gerald B. Downes2 and Charles G. Sagerström1* Abstract Background: Functioning of the adult nervous system depends on the establishment of neural circuits during embryogenesis. In vertebrates, neurons that make up motor circuits form in distinct domains along the dorsoventral axis of the neural tube. Each domain is characterized by a unique combination of transcription factors (TFs) that promote a specific fate, while repressing fates of adjacent domains. The prdm12 TF is required for the expression of eng1b and the generation of V1 interneurons in the p1 domain, but the details of its function remain unclear. Methods: We used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate the first germline mutants for prdm12 and employed this resource, together with classical luciferase reporter assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments, to study prdm12b function in zebrafish. We also generated germline mutants for bhlhe22 and nkx6.1 to examine how these TFs act with prdm12b to control p1 formation. Results: We find that prdm12b mutants lack eng1b expression in the p1 domain and also possess an abnormal touch-evoked escape response. Using luciferase reporter assays, we demonstrate that Prdm12b acts as a transcriptional repressor. We also show that the Bhlhe22 TF binds via the Prdm12b zinc finger domain to form a complex. However, bhlhe22 mutants display normal eng1b expression in the p1 domain. While prdm12 has been proposed to promote p1 fates by repressing expression of the nkx6.1 TF, we do not observe an expansion of the nkx6.1 domain upon loss of prdm12b function, nor is eng1b expression restored upon simultaneous loss of prdm12b and nkx6.1.

The Jackson Laboratory, 600 Main Street, Bar Harbor, Maine 04609, USA. 13 *Correspondence to: [email protected] 14 Abstract: 15 In many mammals, genomic sites for recombination are determined by histone methyltransferase PRMD9. Mice 16 lacking PRDM9 are infertile, but instances of fertility or semi-fertility in the absence of PRDM9 have been 17 reported in mice, canines and a human female. Such findings raise the question of how the loss of PRDM9 is 18 circumvented to maintain reproductive fitness. We show that genetic background and sex-specific modifiers can 19 obviate the requirement for PRDM9 in mice. Specifically, the meiotic DNA damage checkpoint protein CHK2 20 acts as a modifier allowing female-specific fertility in the absence of PRDM9. We also report that in the 21 absence of PRDM9, a PRDM9-independent recombination system is compatible with female meiosis and 22 fertility, suggesting sex-specific regulation of meiotic recombination, a finding with implications for speciation.

Abstract The parasitic worm product, ES-62 protects against collagen-induced arthritis, a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing the synovial fibroblast (SF) responses perpetuating inflammation and driving joint destruction. Such SF responses are shaped during disease progression by the inflammatory microenvironment of the joint that promotes remodelling of their epigenetic landscape, inducing an “aggressive” pathogenic SF phenotype. Critically, exposure to ES-62 in vivo induces a stably imprinted “safe” phenotype that exhibits responses more typical of healthy SFs.

Their phe‑ notypes and physiological functions are initially regulated by developmental signals and extracellular stimuli. The underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the diverse phenotypes of ECs from diferent organs are not well understood. Results: To characterize the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscape in the vascular system, we cataloged gene expression and active histone marks in nine types of human ECs (generating 148 genome‑wide datasets) and carried out a comprehensive analysis with chromatin interaction data. We developed a robust procedure for comparative epigenome analysis that circumvents variations at the level of the individual and technical noise derived from sample preparation under various conditions. Through this approach, we identifed 3765 EC‑specifc enhancers, some of which were associated with disease‑associated genetic variations.

Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Wu¨rzburg, Wu¨rzburg, Germany The Saethre–Chotzen syndrome (SCS) is an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis syndrome with uni- or bilateral coronal synostosis and mild limb deformities. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations of the TWIST 1 gene. In an attempt to delineate functional features separating SCS from Muenke’s syndrome, we screened patients presenting with coronal suture synostosis for mutations in the TWIST 1 gene, and for the Pro250Arg mutation in FGFR3. Within a total of 124 independent pedigrees, 39 (71 patients) were identified to carry 25 different mutations of TWIST 1 including 14 novel mutations, to which six whole gene deletions were added.

ABSTRACT Several homeobox-related gene (HOX) transcription factors such as mesenchyme HOX-2 (MEOX2) have previously been associated with cancer drug resistance, malignant progression and/or clinical prognostic responses in lung cancer patients; however, the mechanisms involved in these responses have yet to be elucidated.
