Interaction with WDR5 promotes target gene recognition and tumorigenesis by MYC

ABSTRACT: We report a comparison of the genome-wide binding patterns of MYC and WDR5, and the effects of a mutation in MYC (WBM) that disrupt the MYC-WDR5 interaction. The experimental design included two distinct experimental strategies. For comparison of genome-wide binding patters of wild-type (WT) and WDR5 binding-deficient (WBM) MYC, HEK293 cells were engineered by retroviral transduction to express either FLAG-tagged WT-MYC, FLAG-tagged WBM-MYC, or an empty vector control ("vec") ChIP was performed on all samples using the anti-FLAG antibody, and co-precipitating DNAs subject to next-generation sequencing. Samples "2514-WPT-1_1", "2514-WPT-5_1" and "2514-WPT-13_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the "vec" control cells (i.e., those not expressing any exogenous MYC). Samples "2514-WPT-2_1", "2514-WPT-6_1" and "2514-WPT-10_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the WT-MYC expressing cells. "2514-WPT-3_1", "2514-WPT-7_1" and "2514-WPT-11_1" are three independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed on the WBM-MYC expressing cells. For comparison of these binding patterns with those of WDR5, we performed ChIP in HEK293 cells with either an antibody against WDR5, or with IgG (negative control). Samples "2514-WPT-23_1", "2514-WPT-25_1", and "2514-WPT-27_1" are independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed with the anti-WDR5 antibody. Samples "2514-WPT-24_1", "2514-WPT-26_1", and "2514-WPT-28_1" are independent biological replicates of ChIPs performed with the negative IgG control.

MYC is an oncoprotein transcription factor that is overexpressed in the majority of malignancies. The oncogenic potential of MYC stems from its ability to bind regulatory sequences in thousands of target genes, which depends on interaction of MYC with its obligate partner, MAX. Here, we show that broad association of MYC with chromatin also depends on interaction with the WD40-repeat protein WDR5. MYC binds WDR5 via an evolutionarily conserved "MYC box IIIb" motif that engages a shallow, hydroph ...[more]

Project description:Background: During mitosis the cell depends on proper attachment and segregation of replicated chromosomes to generate two identical progeny. In cancers defined by overexpression or dysregulation of the MYC oncogene this process becomes impaired, leading to genomic instability and tumor evolution. Recently it was discovered that the chromatin regulator WDR5—a critical MYC cofactor—regulates expression of genes needed in mitosis through a direct interaction with the master kinase PDPK1. However, whether PDPK1 and WDR5 contribute to similar mitotic gene regulation in MYC-overexpressing cancers remains unclear. Therefore, to characterize the influence of WDR5 and PDPK1 on mitotic gene expression in cells with high MYC levels, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis in neuroblastoma cell lines defined by MYCN-amplification, which results in high cellular levels of the N-MYC protein. Results: Using RNA-seq analysis, we identify the genes regulated by N-MYC and PDPK1 in multiple engineered CHP-134 neuroblastoma cell lines and compare them to previously published gene expression data collected in CHP-134 cells following inhibition of WDR5. We find that as expected N-MYC regulates a multitude of genes, including those related to mitosis, but that PDPK1 regulates specific sets of genes involved in development, signaling, and mitosis. Analysis of N-MYC- and PDPK1-regulated genes reveals a small group of commonly controlled genes associated with spindle pole formation and chromosome segregation, which overlap with genes that are also regulated by WDR5. We also find that N-MYC physically interacts with PDPK1 through the WDR5-PDPK1 interaction suggesting regulation of mitotic gene expression may be achieved through a N-MYC-WDR5-PDPK1 nexus. Conclusions: Overall, we identify a small group of genes highly enriched within functional gene categories related to mitotic processes that are commonly regulated by N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 and suggest that a tripartite interaction between the three regulators may be responsible for setting the level of mitotic gene regulation in N-MYC amplified cell lines. This study provides a foundation for future studies to determine the exact mechanism by which N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 converge on cell cycle related processes.
