Gene expression profile of Tra1 GID (Gal4 interaction defective) mutants

ABSTRACT: Promoter-specific transcriptional activators (activators) stimulate transcription through direct interactions with one or more components of the transcription machinery, termed the “target”. Previous studies have provided evidence that the Tra1 subunit of the yeast SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase) complex is the target of the yeast activator Gal4. However, several other general transcription factors, in particular the mediator complex, have also been implicated as Gal4 targets. To investigate the essentiality of Tra1 as a target of Gal4, here we derive Tra1 mutants that are selectively defective for interaction with Gal4 in vivo (Gal4 Interaction Defective (GID) mutants). In contrast to wild-type Tra1, Tra1 GID mutants are not recruited by Gal4 to the promoter and cannot support Gal4-directed transcription activation, demonstrating that the Gal4–Tra1 interaction is required for Gal4 function. In yeast strains expressing a Tra1 GID mutant, Gal4 promoter binding is unexpectedly also diminished indicating that Gal4 and Tra1 bind cooperatively. Consistent with cooperative binding, we demonstrate that the interaction between Gal4 and Tra1 occurs predominantly on the promoter and not off DNA. Finally, we show that although Tra1 is also targeted by other activators, these interaction are unaffected by GID mutations, revealing an unanticipated specificity of the Gal4-Tra1 interaction. 3 samples were analyzed in duplicate with completely randomized design

The PI3K domain of Tra1 is required for transcriptional regulation

Project description:Tra1 is an essential component of the S. cerevisiae SAGA and NuA4 complexes. Using targeted mutagenesis, we identified residues within its C-terminal phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) domain that are required for function. The phenotype of tra1-P3408A, S3463A and SRR3413-3415AAA included temperature sensitivity and reduced growth in media containing 6% ethanol or aminotriazole. These alleles resulted in ≥2-fold change in expression of ~7% of yeast genes in rich media and reduced activation of PHO5 and ADH2 promoters. Tra1-SRR3413 associated with components of both the NuA4 and SAGA complexes and with the Gal4 transcriptional activation domain similar to wild-type protein. Tra1-SRR3413 resulted in a decreased ratio of acetylated histone H3 and H4 to total histone H3 at the PHO5 promoter that appeared largely due to increased unacetylated histone. Slow growth of a tra1-SRR3413 strain in aminotriazole was suppressed by deletion of Vps1 and the Vps1 interacting protein, Rad16. In addition, ethanol sensitivity was suppressed by loss of Vam3, suggesting that Tra1 is involved with protein trafficking and membrane sorting. Furthermore, tra1-SRR3413 results in generation dependent telomere shortening. While the tra1 alleles have some phenotypic similarities with deletions of SAGA and/or NuA4 components, the pattern of gene expression, genetic interactions and telomere shortening suggest possible novel functions for the PI3K-domain of Tra1.

Tra1 has specific regulatory roles, rather than global functions, within the SAGA coactivator complex

Project description:The SAGA complex is a conserved, multifunctional coactivator that plays broad roles in eukaryotic transcription. Previous studies suggested that Tra1, the largest SAGA component, is required either for SAGA assembly or for recruitment by DNA-bound transcriptional activators. In contrast to S. cerevisiae and mouse, a tra1? mutant is viable in S. pombe, allowing us to test these issues in vivo. We find that, in a tra1? mutant, SAGA assembles and is recruited to some, but not all promoters. Consistent with these findings, Tra1 regulates the expression of only a subset of SAGA-dependent genes. We previously reported that the SAGA subunits Gcn5 and Spt8 have opposing regulatory roles during S. pombe sexual differentiation. We show here that, like Gcn5, Tra1 represses this pathway, although by a distinct mechanism. Thus, our study reveals that Tra1 has specific regulatory roles, rather than global functions, within SAGA.

Chaperone-mediated ordered assembly of the SAGA and NuA4 transcription co-activator complexes

Project description:Transcription initiation involves the coordinated activities of large multimeric complexes that are organized into functional modules. Little is known about the mechanisms and pathways that govern their assembly from individual components. We report here several principles governing the assembly of the highly conserved SAGA and NuA4 co-activator complexes. Using fission yeast, which contain two functionally non-redundant paralogs of the shared Tra1 subunit, we demonstrate that Tra1 contributes to scaffolding the entire NuA4 complex. In contrast, within SAGA, Tra1 specifically promotes the incorporation of the de-ubiquitination module (DUB), defining an ordered assembly pathway. Biochemical and functional analyses elucidated the mechanism by which Tra1 assemble differentially into SAGA or NuA4 and identified a small, conserved region of Spt20 that is both necessary and sufficient to anchor Tra1 within SAGA. Finally, we establish that Hsp90 and its cochaperone TTT are required for Tra1 de novo incorporation into both SAGA and NuA4, indicating that Tra1, a pseudokinase of the PIKK family, shares a dedicated chaperone machinery with its cognate kinases. Overall, our work brings mechanistic insights into the de novo assembly of transcriptional complexes through ordered pathways and reveals the contribution of dedicated chaperones to this process.

Genome-wide distribution of proteins Pita, ZIPIC, Zw5 in Drosophila embryos

Project description:According to recent models, as yet poorly studied architectural proteins appear to be required for local regulation of enhancer–promoter interactions, as well as for global chromosome organization. Transcription factors ZIPIC, Pita, and Zw5 belong to the class of chromatin insulator proteins and preferentially bind to promoters near the TSS. They are structurally similar in containing the N-terminal zinc finger-associated domain (ZAD) and different numbers of C2H2-type zinc fingers at the C-terminus. We have shown that the ZAD domains of ZIPIC, Pita, and Zw5 usually form homodimers. In Drosophila transgenic lines, these proteins can support long-distance interaction between GAL4 activator and the reporter gene promoter. However, no functional interaction between binding sites for different proteins has been revealed, suggesting that such interactions are highly specific. ZIPIC facilitates long-distance stimulation of reporter gene by GAL4 activator in yeast. Thus, ZAD-containing zinc-finger proteins probably belong to the class of architectural proteins.
