TWIST1 interactome in cranial NCCs revealed using BioID and network propagation.
(A) BioID procedure to identify TWIST1-interacting partners in neural crest stem cells (NCCs). TWIST1-BirA* (TWIST1 fused to the BirA* biotin ligase) labeled the proteins partners within the 10 nm proximity in live cells. Following cell lysis and sonication, streptavidin beads were used to capture denatured biotin-labeled proteins, which were purified and processed for mass spectrometry analysis. (B) TWIST1-specific interaction candidates identified by BioID mass-spectrometry analysis in NCC cell line (p<0.05; Fold-change >3; PSM#>2) overlap with all reported TWIST1 interactions on the Agile Protein Interactomes DataServer (APID) (Alonso-López et al., 2019). (C) Networks constructed from stringent TWIST1-specific interaction at a significant threshold of adjusted p-value (adjp) <0.05 and Fold-change >3. Unconnected nodes were removed. Top GO terms for proteins from three different clusters are shown. Node size = -Log10 (adjp). Genes associated with human and mouse facial malformation (HP:0001999, MP:0000428) were used as seeds (dark red) for heat diffusion through network neighbors. Node color represents the heat diffusion score. (D) Expression of candidate interactor genes in cranial neural crest from E9.5 mouse embryos; data were derived from published transcriptome dataset (Fan et al., 2016). Each bar represents mean expression ± SE of three biological replicates. All genes shown are expressed at level above the microarray detection threshold (27, red dashed line).

(B) Mean peptide spectrum match (PSM) across samples, normalized by total PSM of the peptide library. (C) PCA plot of normalized PSM data. G: GFP-BirA* Green dots, T: TWIST1-BirA* Red dots. (D) Complete network of 140 BioID candidates (p<0.05; Fold-change >3; PSM#>2) interacting physically with TWIST1 in the O9-1 neural crest stem cells. Functional interactions (edges) of these candidates, based on prior evidences of co-expression, protein-protein interaction, evolutionary conservation and text mining, were retrieved from STRING database (Szklarczyk et al., 2015). Medium confidence (combined score >0.4) was used as the cut-off for interactions. The MCL algorithm was used to generate protein interaction hubs with strongest connection (dark edges). Result from previous protein interaction survey of 56 TFs (Li et al., 2015) was referenced to annotate putative specific (red), non-specific (gray) or promiscuous TF interactors (green) among the BioID candidates. Blue nodes are putative-specific TWIST1 partners not annotated in Li et al. study. Node size = -Log10 (P-value). (i and ii) Example clusters. (E) Pairwise correlation of TWIST1 BioID data from O9-1 NCCs (x-axis) versus 3T3 fibroblasts (y-axis). Each data point represents one protein, plotted with their log2 fold change of PSM in TWIST1-BirA* versus GFP group (Log2FC). Point density were represented by rug plot next to the axis. Adjusted p-values (adjp) were generated with EdgeR package using negative binomial model: blue, adjp <0.05 (significant) for O9-1 but not 3T3, red, adjp <0.05 for both cell lines, black, adjp >0.05 for O9-1. (F) Plots generated by NetworkAnalyzer (Assenov et al., 2008) for Diffusion Rank of nodes against Degree of connection (number of edges), and cluster where peaks of highly connected nodes were labeled (left panel), and Between-ness centrality, a measures of how fast information spreads to other nodes (right panel). Putative neural crest disease-causing factors are found in the shaded region.

The TWIST1-chromatin regulators predispose NCC propensity and facilitate dorsal-ventral neuroepithelial specification.
(A) Experimental strategy of neural differentiation in vitro (Bajpai et al., 2010; Varshney et al., 2017). (B) (i) Principal component analysis (PCA) of the Fluidigm high-throughput qPCR data for all cell lines collected as ESC, and neuroepithelial cells (NECs) at day 0, day 3, and day 12 of differentiation, respectively. Differentiation trajectory from ESC to NEC is shown for the first two PC axes. (ii) Heatmap clustering of normalized gene expressions for all cell lines: n = 3 for each genotype analyzed at day 3 and day 12 of neuroepithelium differentiation and n = 1 for ESCs. Clusters indicate activated (black), transiently activated (red) and repressed (gray) genes during neural differentiation. Z-score (color-coded) is calculated from log2 transformed normalized expression. (C) Profiles of expression of representative genes during neural differentiation (day 0 to NCC). Mean expression ± standard error (SE) are plotted for wildtype, single-gene heterozygous (average of Twist1+/-, Chd7+/-, Chd8+/-, and Whsc1+/-) or compound heterozygous (average of Twist1+/-;Chd7+/-, Twist1+/-;Chd8+/-, and Twist1+/-;Whsc1+/-) groups. For NCCs, samples were collected O9-1 cells with siRNA knockdown of single-gene or combinations of Twist1 and one of the partners. Gene expression were normalized against the mean expression value of three housekeeping genes (Gapdh, Tbp, Actb), and then the expression of day 0 wild-type ESCs. Shading of trend line represents 90% confidence interval. Red stripes indicate stages when target gene expressions were significantly affected by the double knockdown. -Values were calculated using one-way ANOVA. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. ns, not significant.

(F) PCA plot of the NECs (day 12) showing genes with highest PC loadings (blue = top 10 loading, red = bottom 10 loading), and vector of each genotype indicating their weight on the PCs. (G) Heatmap of genes associated with neural tube to NCC transitions: NCC specifiers, dorsal-, ventral-, pan-NSC in mutant versus wild-type NECs. Progenitor identities along the neural tube, the reported master TFs and the co-repression (red solid line) of dorsal and ventral progenitors are illustrated on the right (Briscoe et al., 2000; Alaynick et al., 2011; Kutejova et al., 2016). Repression (red) or promotion (green) of cell fates by TWIST1-module based on the perturbation data are indicated in dashed lines. Genes with the highest PC loadings were indicated in same colors as in D. Z-scores (color-coded) were calculated from Log2 fold-change against wildtype cells. Changes in gene expressions were significant (by one-way ANOVA). Genes identified as targets in at least two ChIP-seq datasets among TWIST1, CHD7, and CHD8 are labeled with ∆.

Molecular model of the fate decision between neural crest cells (NCC) and neural stem cells (NSC).
During NCC differentiation TWIST1 enables the assembly of chromatin regulators at the regulatory elements of genes that promote NCC identity and EMT, while repress the expression of NSC transcription factors (TFs). Concurrently, the NSC TFs: SOX2, PAX6, and OLIG2, compete for occupancy of regulatory regions to constrain the transcriptional activity of the NCC program and activate the neurogenic program to enhance the bias toward NSC fates.
