Abstract
Regulatory landscapes drive complex developmental gene expression, but it remains unclear how their integrity is maintained when incorporating novel genes and functions during evolution. Here, we investigated how a placental mammal-specific gene, Zfp42, emerged in an ancient vertebrate topologically associated domain (TAD) without adopting or disrupting the conserved expression of its gene, Fat1. In ESCs, physical TAD partitioning separates Zfp42 and Fat1 with distinct local enhancers that drive their independent expression. This separation is driven by chromatin activity and not CTCF/cohesin. In contrast, in embryonic limbs, inactive Zfp42 shares Fat1's intact TAD without responding to active Fat1 enhancers. However, neither Fat1 enhancer-incompatibility nor nuclear envelope-attachment account for Zfp42's unresponsiveness. Rather, Zfp42's promoter is rendered inert to enhancers by context-dependent DNA methylation. Thus, diverse mechanisms enabled the integration of independent Zfp42 regulation in the Fat1 locus. Critically, such regulatory complexity appears common in evolution as, genome wide, most TADs contain multiple independently expressed genes.

Abstract
The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous network of filaments that provide both structural and gene regulatory functions by tethering proteins and large domains of DNA, the so-called lamina-associated domains (LADs), to the periphery of the nucleus. LADs are a large fraction of the mammalian genome that are repressed, in part, by their association to the nuclear periphery. The genesis and maintenance of LADs is poorly understood as are the proteins that participate in these functions. In an effort to identify proteins that reside at the nuclear periphery and potentially interact with LADs, we have taken a two-pronged approach. First, we have undertaken an interactome analysis of the inner nuclear membrane bound LAP2β to further characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. To accomplish this, we have leveraged the BioID system, which previously has been successfully used to characterize the nuclear lamina proteome. Second, we have established a system to identify proteins that bind to LADs by developing a chromatin-directed BioID system. We combined the BioID system with the m6A-tracer system which binds to LADs in live cells to identify both LAD proximal and nuclear lamina proteins. In combining these datasets, we have further characterized the protein network at the nuclear lamina, identified putative LAD proximal proteins and found several proteins that appear to interface with both micro-proteomes. Importantly, several proteins essential for LAD function, including heterochromatin regulating proteins related to H3K9 methylation, were identified in this study.

Abstract
The organization of DNA within the eukaryotic nucleus is important for cellular processes such as regulation of gene expression and repair of DNA damage. To comprehend cell-to-cell variation within a complex system, systematic analysis of individual cells is necessary. While many tools exist to capture DNA conformation and chromatin context, these methods generally require large populations of cells for sufficient output. Here we describe single-cell DamID, a technique to capture contacts between DNA and a given protein of interest. By fusing the bacterial methyltransferase Dam to nuclear lamina protein lamin B1, genomic regions in contact with the nuclear periphery can be mapped. Single-cell DamID generates contact maps with sufficient throughput and resolution to reliably identify patterns of similarity as well as variation in nuclear organization of interphase chromosomes.

Abstract
Tissue-specific patterns of radial genome organization contribute to genome regulation and can be established by nuclear envelope proteins. Studies in this area often use cancer cell lines, and it is unclear how well such systems recapitulate genome organization of primary cells or animal tissues; so, we sought to investigate radial genome organization in primary liver tissue hepatocytes. Here, we have used a NET47/Tm7sf2–/– liver model to show that manipulating one of these nuclear membrane proteins is sufficient to alter tissue-specific gene positioning and expression. Dam-LaminB1 global profiling in primary liver cells shows that nearly all the genes under such positional regulation are related to/important for liver function. Interestingly, Tm7sf2 is a paralog of the HP1-binding nuclear membrane protein LBR that, like Tm7sf2, also has an enzymatic function in sterol reduction. Fmo3 gene/locus radial mislocalization could be rescued with human wild-type, but not TM7SF2 mutants lacking the sterol reductase function. One central pathway affected is the cholesterol synthesis pathway. Within this pathway, both Cyp51 and Msmo1 are under Tm7sf2 positional and expression regulation. Other consequences of the loss of Tm7sf2 included weight gain, insulin sensitivity, and reduced levels of active Akt kinase indicating additional pathways under its regulation, several of which are highlighted by mispositioning genes. This study emphasizes the importance for tissue-specific radial genome organization in tissue function and the value of studying genome organization in animal tissues and primary cells over cell lines.

Abstract
DamID adaptation to primary hepatocytes may preserve tissue 3D genome architecture. Growth factors, vector tropism and enhancers are needed for DamID in primary cells. Mitochondrial contamination can yield high background signal in primary cells. Signal intensity comparisons can increase calling of interesting differential LADs.
DamID, a method to identify DNA associating with a particular protein, was originally developed for use in immortalized tissue culture lines. The power of this technique has led to its adaptation for a number of additional systems. Here we report adaptations for its use in primary cells isolated from rodents with emphasis on the challenges this presents. Specifically, we present several modifications that allow the method to be performed in mouse acutely isolated primary hepatocytes while seemingly maintaining tissue genome architecture. We also describe the downstream bioinformatic analysis necessary to identify LADs and discuss some of the parameters and their effects with regards to the sensitivity of the method.

Abstract
At the level of DNA organization into chromatin, there are mechanisms that define gene expression profiles in specialized cell types. Genes within chromatin regions that are located at the nuclear periphery are generally expressed at lower levels; however, the nature of this phenomenon remains unclear. These parts of chromatin interact with nuclear lamina proteins like Lamin B1 and, therefore, can be identified in a given cell type by chromatin profiling of these proteins. In this study, we created and tested a Dam Identification (DamID) system induced by Cre recombinase using Lamin B1 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. This inducible system will help to generate genome-wide profiles of chromatin proteins in given cell types and tissues with no need to dissect tissues from organs or separate cells from tissues, which is achieved by using specific regulatory DNA elements and due to the high sensitivity of the method.

Abstract
A thorough study of the genome-wide binding patterns of chromatin proteins is essential for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of genomic processes in eukaryotic nuclei, including DNA replication, transcription, and repair. The DNA adenine methyltransferase identification (DamID) method is a powerful tool to identify genomic binding sites of chromatin proteins. This method does not require fixation of cells and the use of specific antibodies, and has been used to generate genome-wide binding maps of more than a hundred different proteins in Drosophila tissue culture cells. Recent versions of inducible DamID allow performing cell type-specific profiling of chromatin proteins even in small samples of Drosophila tissues that contain heterogeneous cell types. Importantly, with these methods sorting of cells of interest or their nuclei is not necessary as genomic DNA isolated from the whole tissue can be used as an input. Here, I describe in detail an FLP-inducible DamID method, namely generation of suitable transgenic flies, activation of the Dam transgenes by the FLP recombinase, isolation of DNA from small amounts of dissected tissues, and subsequent identification of the DNA binding sites of the chromatin proteins.
