Transcription factor binding in human cells occurs in dense clusters formed around cohesin anchor sites

ABSTRACT: During cell division, transcription factors (TFs) are removed from chromatin twice, during DNA synthesis, and during condensation of chromosomes. How TFs can efficiently find their sites following these stages has been unclear. Here, we have analyzed the binding pattern of expressed TFs in human colorectal cancer cells. We find that binding of TFs is highly clustered, and that the clusters are enriched in binding motifs for several major TF classes. Strikingly, almost all clusters are formed around cohesin, and loss of cohesin decreases both DNA accessibility and binding of TFs to clusters. We show that cohesin remains bound in S phase, holding the nascent sister chromatids together at the TF cluster sites. Furthermore, cohesin remains bound to the cluster sites when TFs are evicted in early M-phase. These results suggest that cohesin binding functions as a cellular memory that promotes re- stablishment of TF clusters after DNA replication and chromatin condensation.

Project description:Different mechanisms for CBF-MYH11 function in acute myeloid Leukemia (AML) with inv(16) have been proposed such as tethering of RUNX1 outside the nucleus, interference with transcription factor complex assembly and recruitment of histone deacetylases, all resulting in transcriptional repression of RUNX1 target genes. Here, through genome-wide CBF-MYH11 binding site analysis and quantitative interaction proteomics we found that CBF-MYH11 localizes to RUNX1 occupied promoters where it interacts with TAL1, FLI1 and TBP associated factors (TAFs) in the context of the hematopoietic transcription factors ERG, GATA2 and PU.1/SPI1 and the co regulators EP300 and HDAC1. Transcriptional analysis revealed that upon fusion protein knock down a subset of the CBF-MYH11 target genes show increased expression, confirming a role in transcriptional repression. However, the majority of CBF-MYH11 target genes, including genes implicated in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal such as ID1, LMO1 and JAG1, are actively transcribed and upon fusion protein knock down repressed. Together these results suggest an essential role for CBF-MYH11 in regulating expression of genes involved in maintaining a stem cell phenotype. 17 ChIP-seq samples using antibodies recognizing the indicated proteins and one RNA-seq file from ME-1 cells were analyzed. In addition 2 ChIP-seq profiles were generated using patient AML cells. A CBFβ-MYH11 inducible U937 system (U937CM) was used to examine binding patterns before (1 profile) and after (2 profiles) induction of CBFb-MYH11. In addition, expression was measured through RNA-seq analysis of the two states. The U937CM cells were maintained in the presence of tetracyclin (Tet, 1 uM) and grown in the absence of tetracycline for 3 days to induce expression of CBFβ-MYH11. Finally, a CBFb-MYH11 knock down system was developed in ME-1 cells. Two ME-1 cell lines were created, one with a stably integrated shRNA construct that targets CBFb-MYH11 (ME-1_knockdown) and one with a scrambled shRNA construct (ME-1_SCR). Expression of the shRNA constructs was induced using doxycyclin (dox; 1 mM) treatment for 3 days.
