    Optogenetic manipulation of proximity between repetitive genomic loci. (A) Scheme of OptoLoop consisting of a fusion between dCas9 and the optogenetic protein CRY2. OptoLoop is targeted to specific genomic loci by introducing specific sgRNAs. CRY2–CRY2 interactions activated by blue light bridge targeted loci to form a chromatin loop. (B) Left panel, region of chromosome 19 showing sgIDR3 and sgTCF3 target sites, representative Hi-C contact map (data from ) and BACs used in DNA-FISH to label the IDR3 (magenta) and TCF3 loci (green). Right panel, mCherry channel images of <t>U2OS</t> dCas9–3XmCherry–CRY2 cells transfected with sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, kept in dark or illuminated with blue light for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s), and fixed. Scale bars: 5 µm. (C) Left panel, representative image of DNA-FISH for IDR3 and TCF3 with specific BAC FISH probes in U2OS cells. Right panel represents a single cell highlighted in left panel (yellow box); the expansion shows a single allele in this cell. Dashed line denotes the distance between the two FISH signals. Scale bars: 20 µm (left panel), 5 µm (right panel), 1 µm (expansion). (D) IDR3–TCF3 distances, calculated for U2OS dCas9–mCherry–CRY2 polyclonal cells transfected with indicated combinations of sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, kept under dark or illuminated for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s). Violin plot corresponds to a representative experiment, with black lines representing median distances. Bar plot represents means of two independent experiments. Each dot represents the median of typically 5000–10,000 alleles analyzed per experiment. (E) Fraction of alleles with IDR3-TCF3 distance <0.27 µm measured from DNA-FISH images for U2OS dCas9–mCherry–CRY2 polyclonal cells and three clones of U2OS dCas9–3XmCherry–CRY2 cells, transfected with indicated combinations of sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, and kept in dark or illuminated for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s). Each dot represents the fraction of typically 5000–10,000 alleles analyzed per experiment. Bars represent means of two or three independent experiments. (F) Measurement of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in loop formation. Bars with green shades: observed fraction of cells with none, one or both alleles with IDR3–TCF3 distance <0.27 µm obtained from a representative experiment shown in E with 2500–5000 cells analyzed per sample. Bars with magenta shades: expected fraction of cells with none, one or both alleles with IDR3–TCF3 distance <0.27 µm assuming that alleles from a same cell are independent between each other (Eqn 2). * P <0.05; *** P <0.001; ns, not significant [two-way ANOVAs followed by post-hoc Tukey tests (D,E); paired two-tailed t -test (E); chi-squared test (F)].

    CDK5 forms a complex with E6 predominantly in the nucleus. (A) (i). The represented immunoblot image of CDK5 protein binding with 16E6/E7 and 18E6/E7 proteins. GST pull-down assay was performed by incubating the indicated purified GST fusion proteins with CDK5 protein. After extensive washing, the bound CDK5 protein was detected via Western blotting using an anti-CDK5 antibody. The immunoblot (IB) on the upper panel shows the interaction of CDK5 with GST-16 E6/E7 and GST-18 E6/E7, while the lower panel shows the Ponceau S stain of the blot. (ii) The bar graph shows the quantification of the relative level of CDK5 to GST empty protein indicated from 3 independent experiments (n = 3). Quantitation was performed using ImageJ software, and the statistical analysis was performed using Graphpad Prism 8. (B). Representatives immunoblot of Co-immunoprecipitation shows that CDK5 binds with 16E6 and 18E6. The HA-16E6, HA-18E6, and His-CDK5 were transfected into the HEK293 cells. After 24 h, the lysates from cells were analyzed by western blotting using anti-CDK5, anti-HA specific antibodies. Data were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM, ∗: p < 0.05, ∗∗: p < 0.01, ∗∗∗: p < 0.005, ∗∗∗∗: p < 0.0001). <t>(C).</t> <t>U-2</t> OS cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1: His-CDK5 (His-CDK5) and pcDNA3.1: HA-16E6 (HA-16E6) and HA-18E6 (HA-18E6) plasmids. The cells were fixed and incubated with primary antibodies (anti-His, anti-HA), followed by incubation with the relevant Alexa Fluor 568-conjugated anti-rabbit and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibodies. The cells were then counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The Z-stacking images for subcellular expression of CDK5 (Red) and E6 (Green) were examined using the Nikon fluorescence microscope. Cellular localization of CDK5 and E6 was visualized by a fluorescent microscope under 1000× magnification.

OptoLoop is targeted to specific genomic loci by introducing specific sgRNAs. CRY2–CRY2 interactions activated by blue light bridge targeted loci to form a chromatin loop. (B) Left panel, region of chromosome 19 showing sgIDR3 and sgTCF3 target sites, representative Hi-C contact map (data from ) and BACs used in DNA-FISH to label the IDR3 (magenta) and TCF3 loci (green). Right panel, mCherry channel images of U2OS dCas9–3XmCherry–CRY2 cells transfected with sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, kept in dark or illuminated with blue light for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s), and fixed. Scale bars: 5 µm. (C) Left panel, representative image of DNA-FISH for IDR3 and TCF3 with specific BAC FISH probes in U2OS cells. Right panel represents a single cell highlighted in left panel (yellow box); the expansion shows a single allele in this cell. Dashed line denotes the distance between the two FISH signals. Scale bars: 20 µm (left panel), 5 µm (right panel), 1 µm (expansion). (D) IDR3–TCF3 distances, calculated for U2OS dCas9–mCherry–CRY2 polyclonal cells transfected with indicated combinations of sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, kept under dark or illuminated for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s). Violin plot corresponds to a representative experiment, with black lines representing median distances. Bar plot represents means of two independent experiments. Each dot represents the median of typically 5000–10,000 alleles analyzed per experiment. (E) Fraction of alleles with IDR3-TCF3 distance <0.27 µm measured from DNA-FISH images for U2OS dCas9–mCherry–CRY2 polyclonal cells and three clones of U2OS dCas9–3XmCherry–CRY2 cells, transfected with indicated combinations of sgIDR3 and sgTCF3, and kept in dark or illuminated for 3 h (1 s pulses every 10 s). Each dot represents the fraction of typically 5000–10,000 alleles analyzed per experiment. Bars represent means of two or three independent experiments. (F) Measurement of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in loop formation. Bars with green shades: observed fraction of cells with none, one or both alleles with IDR3–TCF3 distance <0.27 µm obtained from a representative experiment shown in E with 2500–5000 cells analyzed per sample. Bars with magenta shades: expected fraction of cells with none, one or both alleles with IDR3–TCF3 distance <0.27 µm assuming that alleles from a same cell are independent between each other (Eqn 2). * P <0.05; *** P <0.001; ns, not significant [two-way ANOVAs followed by post-hoc Tukey tests (D,E); paired two-tailed t -test (E); chi-squared test (F)].
