The Cohesin Release Factor WAPL Restricts Chromatin Loop Extension
Open accessAbstract
The spatial organization of chromosomes influences many nuclear processes including gene expression. The cohesin complex shapes the 3D genome by looping together CTCF sites along chromosomes. We show here that chromatin loop size can be increased and that the duration with which cohesin embraces DNA determines the degree to which loops are enlarged. Cohesin's DNA release factor WAPL restricts this loop extension and also prevents looping between incorrectly oriented CTCF sites. We reveal that the SCC2/SCC4 complex promotes the extension of chromatin loops and the formation of topologically associated domains (TADs). Our data support the model that cohesin structures chromosomes through the processive enlargement of loops and that TADs reflect polyclonal collections of loops in the making. Finally, we find that whereas cohesin promotes chromosomal looping, it rather limits nuclear compartmentalization. We conclude that the balanced activity of SCC2/SCC4 and WAPL enables cohesin to correctly structure chromosomes.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In HAP1 cells, WAPL loss stabilizes cohesin on DNA and extends chromatin loops (median 575 kb versus 370 kb in wild-type), while SCC2/SCC4 promotes loop extension; WAPL also enforces convergent CTCF looping and limits nuclear compartmentalization. The authors conclude that cohesin structures chromosomes by processive loop enlargement, balanced by WAPL and SCC2/SCC4.
Key findings
- WAPL restricts chromatin loop extension: ΔWAPL cells showed a median loop length increase of more than 200 kb (575 kb versus 370 kb in wild-type), increased inter-TAD contacts, and pronounced TAD corner peaks; SMC1 ChIP-seq peaks increased from 18,462 to 45,479.
- WAPL enforces the CTCF directionality rule: wild-type HAP1 cells almost exclusively looped convergent CTCF sites, whereas ΔWAPL cells formed loops between tandem-oriented CTCF sites, including at the NCAM2 locus by 4C-seq.
- SCC2/SCC4 promotes loop extension and TAD boundaries: ΔSCC4 cells had shorter loops, reduced cohesin binding sites (18,462 to 5,974), and diffuse TAD boundaries with decreased directionality index; ΔWAPL/ΔSCC4 cells restored loop length and wild-type-like contact maps. The C-terminal part of SCC2 was required for vermicelli cohesin staining.
- Cohesin limits nuclear compartmentalization: ΔWAPL cells had reduced far-cis (>10 Mb) contacts, less strict A/B compartment segregation, and fragmented lamina-associated domains; ΔSCC4 cells had increased far-cis contacts; ΔWAPL/ΔSCC4 resembled wild-type. B-to-A switches covered 46.0 Mb versus 22.8 Mb for A-to-B, and 1,009 genes were differentially expressed.
Methods
- HAP1 cells were used to generate CRISPR knockouts of WAPL, SCC4, and WAPL/SCC4, plus SCC2 truncation mutants; a haploid gene-trap synthetic viability screen compared control and ΔWAPL HAP1 cells.
- Chromosome organization was assayed by high-resolution Hi-C, 4C-seq, CTCF and SMC1 ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, Lamin B1 DamID, FRAP, immunofluorescence, and proliferation/colony-formation assays.
- Computational analyses included HiC-Pro, HICCUPS loop calling, HiCseg TAD calling, directionality index, aggregate peak analysis, PCA-based compartment scoring, and rank-product statistics.
Limitations
- The paper states that it remains unresolved how WAPL-mediated cohesin release enforces CTCF loop specificity, how WAPL/SCC2/SCC4/cohesin modulate specific gene expression changes, and whether SMC complexes provide topological anchors or directly extrude DNA. It also notes that illegally oriented loops remain relatively rare even in ΔWAPL cells.
- The paper states that SCC4 deletion causes near-complete loss of SCC2, so SCC4-deficient cells could not fully separate SCC4 from SCC2 function; SCC2 itself could not be knocked out even in a ΔWAPL background.
- Evident from the text: the work relies on HAP1 cells, which are haploid, p53-mutant, and cancer-derived, and WAPL-null proliferation was attributed to impaired p53 function; the loop-extrusion conclusion is inferred from Hi-C/4C/ChIP/FRAP data rather than direct single-molecule visualization, and only ∼1,000 genes changed expression despite genome-wide loop changes.

Looping factors are important for cellular viability, and in the absence of WAPL, factors that promote looping may become less important.
“We reasoned that looping factors are important for cellular viability, and that in the absence of WAPL, factors that promote looping may become less important.”

Any defect in loop formation may be compensated for by WAPL deficiency.
“Any defect in loop formation may thereby be compensated for by WAPL deficiency.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
There must be a linear scanning mechanism that, by tracing the DNA, can communicate the orientation of the contacting CTCF sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
