Activator protein-2M-NM-3 is a critical determinant of estrogen receptor interactome formation and gene transcription in breast cancer [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor M-NM-1 (ERM-NM-1) is key player in the progression of breast cancer. ERM-NM-1 binds to DNA and mediates long-range chromatin interactions throughout the genome, but the underlying mechanism in this process is unclear. Here, we show that AP-2 motifs are highly enriched in the ERM-NM-1 binding sites (ERBS) identified from the recent ChIA-PET of ERM-NM-1. More importantly, we demonstrate that AP-2M-NM-3 (also known as TFAP2C), a member of the AP-2 family which has been implicated in breast cancer oncogenesis, is recruited to chromatin in a ligand-independent manner and co-localized with ERM-NM-1 binding events. Furthermore, pertubation of AP-2M-NM-3 expression disrupts ERM-NM-1 DNA binding, long-range chromatin interactions, and gene transcription. Using ChIP-seq, we show that AP-2M-NM-3 and ERM-NM-1 binding occurs in close proximity on a genome-wide scale. The majority of these shared genomic regions are also occupied by the pioneer factor, FoxA1. AP-2M-NM-3 is required for efficient FoxA1 binding and vice versa. Finally, we show that most ERBS associated with long-range chromatin interactions are co-localized with both AP-2M-NM-3 and FoxA1. Together, our results suggest AP-2M-NM-3 is an essential factor in ERM-NM-1-mediated transcription, primarily working together with FoxA1 to facilitate ERM-NM-1 binding and long-range chromatin interactions.
