Isolation of a novel histone deacetylase reveals that class I and class II deacetylases promote SMRT-mediated repression.

ABSTRACT: The transcriptional corepressor SMRT functions by mediating the repressive effect of transcription factors involved in diverse signaling pathways. The mechanism by which SMRT represses basal transcription has been proposed to involve the indirect recruitment of histone deacetylase HDAC1 via the adaptor mSin3A. In contrast to this model, a two-hybrid screen on SMRT-interacting proteins resulted in the isolation of the recently described HDAC5 and a new family member termed HDAC7. Molecular and biochemical results indicate that this interaction is direct and in vivo evidence colocalizes SMRT, mHDAC5, and mHDAC7 to a distinct nuclear compartment. Surprisingly, HDAC7 can interact with mSin3A in yeast and in mammalian cells, suggesting association of multiple repression complexes. Taken together, our results provide the first evidence that SMRT-mediated repression is promoted by class I and class II histone deacetylases and that SMRT can recruit class II histone deacetylases in a mSin3A-independent fashion.

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of lysine deacetylases (KDACs) are approved for clinical use in treatment of several diseases. Nuclear receptors, such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) use lysine acetyltransferases (KATs or HATs) and KDACs to regulate transcription through acetylation and deacetylation of protein targets such as histones. Previously we have shown that KDAC1 activity facilitates GR-activated transcription at about half of all cellular target genes. In the current study we examine the role of Class I KDACs in glucocorticoid-mediated repression of gene expression. Inhibition of KDACs through two structurally distinct Class I-selective inhibitors prevented dexamethasone (Dex)-mediated transcriptional repression in a gene-selective fashion. In addition, KDAC activity is also necessary to maintain repression. Steroid receptor coactivator 2 (SRC2), which is known to play a vital role in GR-mediated repression of pro-inflammatory genes, was found to be dispensable for repression of glucocorticoid target genes sensitive to KDAC inhibition. At the promoters of these genes, KDAC inhibition did not result in altered nucleosome occupancy or histone H3 acetylation. Surprisingly, KDAC inhibition rapidly induced a significant decrease in H3K4Me2 at promoter nucleosomes with no corresponding change in H3K4Me3, suggesting the activation of the lysine demethylase, LSD1/KDM1A. Depletion of LSD1 expression via siRNA restored Dex-mediated repression in the presence of KDAC inhibitors, suggesting that LSD1 activation at these gene promoters is incompatible with transcriptional repression. Treatment with KDAC inhibitors does not alter cellular levels of LSD1 or its association with Dex-repressed gene promoters. Therefore, we conclude that Class I KDACs facilitate Dex-induced transcriptional repression by suppressing LSD1 complex activity at selected target gene promoters. Rather than facilitating repression of transcription, LSD1 opposes it in these gene contexts.
