The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the eukaryotic genome is critical for
its proper function. Evidence suggests that extensive chromatin loops form the
building blocks of the genomic architecture, separating genes and gene clusters
into distinct functional domains. These loops are anchored in part by a special
type of DNA elements called chromatin boundary elements (CBEs). CBEs were
originally found to insulate neighboring genes by blocking influences of
transcriptional enhancers or the spread of silent chromatin. However, recent
results show that chromatin loops can also play a positive role in gene
regulation by looping out intervening DNA and "delivering" remote enhancers to
gene promoters. In addition, studies from human and model organisms indicate that
the configuration of chromatin loops, many of which are tethered by CBEs, is
dynamically regulated during cell differentiation. In particular, a recent work
by Li et al has shown that the SF1 boundary, located in the Drosophila Hox
cluster, regulates local genes by tethering different subsets of chromatin loops:
One subset enclose a neighboring gene ftz, limiting its access by the surrounding
Scr enhancers and restrict the spread of repressive histones during early
embryogenesis; and the other loops subdivide the Scr regulatory region into
independent domains of enhancer accessibility. The enhancer-blocking activity of
these CBE elements varies greatly in strength and tissue distribution. Further,
tandem pairing of SF1 and SF2 facilitate the bypass of distal enhancers in
transgenic flies, providing a mechanism for endogenous enhancers to circumvent
genomic interruptions resulting from chromosomal rearrangement. This study
demonstrates how a network of chromatin boundaries, centrally organized by SF1,
can remodel the 3D genome to facilitate gene regulation during development.
