    Abstract In all terrestrial vertebrates, the parathyroid glands are critical regulators of calcium homeostasis and the sole source of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism are clinically important disorders affecting multiple organs. However, our knowledge regarding regulatory mechanisms governing the parathyroids has remained limited. Here, we present the comprehensive maps of the chromatin landscape of the human parathyroid glands, identifying active regulatory elements and chromatin interactions. These data allow us to define regulatory circuits and previously unidentified genes that play crucial roles in parathyroid biology. We experimentally validate candidate parathyroid-specific enhancers and demonstrate their integration with GWAS SNPs for parathyroid-related diseases and traits. For instance, we observe reduced activity of a parathyroid-specific enhancer of the Calcium Sensing Receptor gene, which contains a risk allele associated with higher PTH levels compared to the wildtype allele. Our datasets provide a valuable resource for unraveling the mechanisms governing parathyroid gland regulation in health and disease.

    Abstract The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are key regulators of development in Drosophila and are strongly implicated in human health and disease. How PcG complexes form repressive chromatin domains remains unclear. Using cross-linked affinity purifications of BioTAP-Polycomb (Pc) or BioTAP-Enhancer of zeste [E(z)], we captured all PcG-repressive complex 1 (PRC1) or PRC2 core components and Sex comb on midleg (Scm) as the only protein strongly enriched with both complexes. Although previously not linked to PRC2, we confirmed direct binding of Scm and PRC2 using recombinant protein expression and colocalization of Scm with PRC1, PRC2, and H3K27me3 in embryos and cultured cells using ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation [ChIP] combined with deep sequencing). Furthermore, we found that RNAi knockdown of Scm and overexpression of the dominant-negative Scm-SAM (sterile α motif) domain both affected the binding pattern of E(z) on polytene chromosomes. Aberrant localization of the Scm-SAM domain in long contiguous regions on polytene chromosomes revealed its independent ability to spread on chromatin, consistent with its previously described ability to oligomerize in vitro. Pull-downs of BioTAP-Scm captured PRC1 and PRC2 and additional repressive complexes, including PhoRC, LINT, and CtBP. We propose that Scm is a key mediator connecting PRC1, PRC2, and transcriptional silencing. Combined with previous structural and genetic analyses, our results strongly suggest that Scm coordinates PcG complexes and polymerizes to produce broad domains of PcG silencing.
