NLRC5 specifically transactivates MHC class I and related genes through a distinctive SXY module

ABSTRACT: MHC class II (MHCII) genes are transactivated by the NOD-like receptor (NLR) factor CIITA, which is recruited to SXY regulatory modules of MHC promoters via a DNA-binding “enhanceosome” complex. NLRC5, another NLR protein, was recently found to control transcription of MHC class I (MHCI) genes. However, detailed understanding of its target-gene specificity and mechanism of action remained lacking. We therefore performed ChIP-sequencing experiments to gain comprehensive information on NLRC5-transactivated genes. In addition to classical MHCI genes, we identified novel NLRC5-targets exclusively in the H2-Q and H2-T regions of the MHCI locus, among which the best targets were found. Investigation of cells lacking the MHCII-enhanceosome factor RFX5 demonstrated its strict requirement for NLRC5 recruitment to the SXY module conserved in MHCI genes. Furthermore, patient-derived B cell lines deficient in RFX5, RFXAP, and RFXANK corroborated importance of the enhanceosome for MHCI transactivation. Although sharing similar SXY modules and common DNA-binding factors, CIITA and NLRC5 regulate distinct genes, as shown here using double-deficient Nlrc5-/-CIIta-/- mice. The identification of sequences occupied by NLRC5 in vivo allowed us to define a unique consensus motif for its recruitment, which diverges from that used by CIITA. Our results thus broaden our knowledge on transcriptional activity of NLRC5, highlighting its remarkable selectivity for genes encoding MHCI or related proteins and providing insights into the specificity of its recruitment.

Project description:Innate memory phenotype (IMP) CD4+ T cells are non-conventional Î±Î² T cells exhibiting features of innate immune cells, characterized as CD44high and CD62Llow in periphery. It is recently reported by our group that bone marrow chimeric mice lacking thymic MHCI expression develop predominantly IMP CD8+ T cells, while those lacking hematopoietic MHCI develop predominantly naÃ¯ve CD8+ T cells. Here we perform hirarchical clustering analysis and found that CD4+ T cells share similar property: chimeras lacking thymic MHCII gave rise to predominantly CD4+ T cells that resemble IMP CD4+ T cells observed in WT mice, and vice versa, chimeras lacking hematopoietic MHCII had a majority of naÃ¯ve-like CD4+ T cells resembling naÃ¯veCD4+ T cells seen in WT mice. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression to determine whether the hematopoietic MHCII selected CD4+ T cells are IMP, and whether the thymic MHCII selected CD4+ T cells are naÃ¯ve CD4+ T cells as observed in WT mice. Through hierarchical clustering and analysis of global gene differential expression, we determined that hematopoietic MHCII dependent IMP CD4+ T cells generated from WT bone marrow transplanted into irradiated MHCII-/- recipients, resemble IMP CD4+ T cells in WT mice, while naÃ¯ve CD4+ T cells generated from MHCII-/- bone marrow transplanted into irradiated WT recipients, resemble naÃ¯ve CD4+ T cells in WT mice. Cell Sorting was performed using a Cytopeia Influx Cell Sorter. Chimeric IMP (CD45.1+TCRÎ²+CD4+CD44highCD62Llow) CD4+ T cells were sorted from splenocytes of CD45.1+WTâCD45.2+MHCII-/- chimeras (WM IMP CD4), and chimeric naÃ¯ve (CD45.2+TCRÎ²+CD4+CD44lowCD62Lhigh) CD4+ T cells were sorted from splenocytes of CD45.2+MHCII-/- â CD45.1+WT chimeras (MW naÃ¯ve CD4) respectively, 8 weeks post transplantation. WT IMP (TCRÎ²+CD4+CD44highCD62Llow) and naÃ¯ve (TCRÎ²+CD4+CD44lowCD62Lhigh) CD4+ T cells were sorted from splenocytes of 8-week old WT mice.
