Identification of a FOXO3/IRF7 circuit that limits inflammatory sequelae of antiviral responses (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: We predict that a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors, FOXO3, is a negative regulator of a subset of antiviral genes. This prediction was validated using macrophages isolated from Foxo3-null mice. Genome-wide location analysis combined with gene deletion studies identified the Irf7 gene as a critical target of FOXO3. FOXO3 was identified as a negative regulator of Irf7 transcription. Our data suggest that the FOXO3-IRF7 regulatory circuit represents a novel mechanism for establishing the requisite set points in the interferon pathway. C57BL/6 mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories. Foxo3-/- mice in the FVB background were obtained from MMRRC and were backcrossed to C57BL/6 mice at least 5 times to generate congenic mice. C57BL/6 Foxo3+/- heterozygotes were intercrossed to generate Foxo3-/- mice. Mice were maintained at the animal facility of the Institute for Systems Biology and used at 8–12 weeks of age. All animals were housed and handled according to the approved protocols of University of Washington and Institute for Systems Biology's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees.

Antiviral responses must be tightly regulated to defend rapidly against infection while minimizing inflammatory damage. Type 1 interferons (IFN-I) are crucial mediators of antiviral responses and their transcription is regulated by a variety of transcription factors; principal among these is the family of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs). The IRF gene regulatory networks are complex and contain multiple feedback loops. The tools of systems biology are well suited to elucidate the complex int ...[more]

Project description:The conserved core domain of the TATA binding protein (TBP) interacts with multiple partners forming the complexes required for transcription by RNA Polymerases I, II and III. We use genetically modified mouse embryonic fibroblasts to show that many TBP core domain mutants complement loss of endogenous TBP, but this often results in a slow growth phenotype. Two TBP mutations, R188E and K243E, disrupt the TBP-BTAF1 interaction and B-TFIID complex formation. Transcriptome and ChIP-seq analyses show that loss of B-TFIID does not affect global genomic distribution of TBP, but positively or negatively affects TBP and/or RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment to a selected set of promoters. We identify a set of promoters where wild-type TBP assembles a partial inactive preinitiation complex lacking Pol II and TAF1. Our results suggest that an exchange of the B-TFIID complex in wild-type cells for TFIID in R188E and K243E mutant cells at these primed promoters recruits Pol II to activate their expression. We also observe that both Wt and mutant TBP can occupy promoters without concurrent Pol II recruitment and active transcription. Our data reveal a novel regulatory mechanism involving the formation of a partial preinitiation complex that primes the promoter for productive preinitiation complex formation in mammalian cells. Using homologous recombination, we generated ES cells and mice harbouring a null allele in the Tbp gene by insertion of a hygromycin resistance cassette in exon III and a floxed allele, in which exon III is surrounded by LoxP sites. From these mice, we generated an embryonic fibroblast Tbplox/- cell line in which TBP expression can be inactivated by expression of the Cre recombinase leading to cell death. We adopted a two-step strategy to generate Tbp-/- cell lines expressing human (h)TBP. Cells were first infected with pBABE retrovirus vectors expressing Wt hTBP or a series of mutants in the TBP core region, all of which carry a Flag-HA tag on their N-terminus. Cells expressing endogenous mTBP and exogenous hTBP were then infected with a second retrovirus expressing the 4 hydroxy-tamoxifen (OHT) inducible Cre-ERT2. Subsequently, multiple clonal populations from the OHT treated cells were isolated and genotyped by PCR to identify the Tbp-/-clones. At least two independent clones where expression of the endogenous mTBP was lost and replaced by the exogenous hTBP were isolated.
