Involvement of the SMRT/NCoR-HDAC3 complex in transcriptional repression by the CNOT2 subunit of the human Ccr4-Not complex.

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotic cells, the Ccr4-Not complex can regulate mRNA metabolism at various levels. Previously, we showed that promoter targeting of the CNOT2 subunit resulted in strong repression of RNA polymerase II transcription, which was sensitive to the HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor, trichostatin A [Zwartjes, Jayne, van den Berg and Timmers (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 10848-10854]. In the present study, the cofactor requirement for CNOT2-mediated repression was investigated. We found that coexpression of SMRT (silencing mediator for retinoic acid receptor and thyroid-hormone receptor) or NCoR (nuclear hormone receptor co-repressor) in combination with HDAC3 (or HDAC5 and HDAC6) augmented the repression by CNOT2. This repressive effect is mediated by the conserved Not-Box, which resides at the C-terminus of CNOT2 proteins. We observed physical interactions of CNOT2 with several subunits of the SMRT/NCoR-HDAC3 complex. Our results show that the SMRT/NCoR-HDAC3 complex is a cofactor of CNOT2-mediated repression and suggest that transcriptional regulation by the Ccr4-Not complex involves regulation of chromatin modification.

Insights into the Recruitment of Class IIa Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) to the SMRT/NCoR Transcriptional Repression Complex.

Project description:Class IIa histone deacetylases repress transcription of target genes. However, their mechanism of action is poorly understood because they exhibit very low levels of deacetylase activity. The class IIa HDACs are associated with the SMRT/NCoR repression complexes and this may, at least in part, account for their repressive activity. However, the molecular mechanism of recruitment to co-repressor proteins has yet to be established. Here we show that a repeated peptide motif present in both SMRT and NCoR is sufficient to mediate specific interaction, with micromolar affinity, with all the class IIa HDACs (HDACs 4, 5, 7, and 9). Mutations in the consensus motif abrogate binding. Mutational analysis of HDAC4 suggests that the peptide interacts in the vicinity of the active site of the enzyme and requires the "closed" conformation of the zinc-binding loop on the surface of the enzyme. Together these findings represent the first insights into the molecular mechanism of recruitment of class IIa HDACs to the SMRT/NCoR repression complexes.

Photoreactive "nanorulers" detect a novel conformation of full length HDAC3-SMRT complex in solution.

Project description:Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a promising epigenetic drug target for multiple therapeutic applications. Direct interaction between the Deacetylase Activating Domain of the silencing mediator for retinoid or thyroid-hormone receptors (SMRT-DAD) is required for activation of enzymatic activity of HDAC3. The structure of this complex and the nature of interactions with HDAC inhibitors in solution are unknown. Using novel photoreactive HDAC probes, "nanorulers", we determined the distance between the catalytic site of the full-length HDAC3 and SMRT-DAD in solution at physiologically relevant conditions and found it to be substantially different from that predicted by the X-ray model with a ?379-428 aa truncated HDAC3. Further experiments indicated that in solution this distance might change in response to chemical stimuli, while the enzymatic activity remained unaffected. These observations were further validated by Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR experiments. We propose that the observed changes in the distance are an important part of the histone code that remains to be explored. Mapping direct interactions and distances between macromolecules with such "nanorulers" as a function of cellular events facilitates better understanding of basic biology and ways for its manipulation in a cell- and tissue-specific manner.

Involvement of corepressor complex subunit GPS2 in transcriptional pathways governing human bile acid biosynthesis.

Project description:Coordinated regulation of bile acid biosynthesis, the predominant pathway for hepatic cholesterol catabolism, is mediated by few key nuclear receptors including the orphan receptors liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha (HNF4alpha), small heterodimer partner (SHP), and the bile acid receptor FXR (farnesoid X receptor). Activation of FXR initiates a feedback regulatory loop via induction of SHP, which suppresses LRH-1- and HNF4alpha-dependent expression of cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and sterol 12alpha hydroxylase (CYP8B1), the two major pathway enzymes. Here we dissect the transcriptional network governing bile acid biosynthesis in human liver by identifying GPS2, a stoichiometric subunit of a conserved corepressor complex, as a differential coregulator of CYP7A1 and CYP8B1 expression. Direct interactions of GPS2 with SHP, LRH-1, HNF4alpha, and FXR indicate alternative coregulator recruitment strategies to cause differential transcriptional outcomes. In addition, species-specific differences in the regulation of bile acid biosynthesis were uncovered by identifying human CYP8B1 as a direct FXR target gene, which has implications for therapeutic approaches in bile acid-related human disorders.

The Bdnf and Npas4 genes are targets of HDAC3-mediated transcriptional repression.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Histone deacetylase-3 (HDAC3) promotes neurodegeneration in various cell culture and in vivo models of neurodegeneration but the mechanism by which HDAC3 exerts neurotoxicity is not known. HDAC3 is known to be a transcriptional co-repressor. The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional targets of HDAC3 in an attempt to understand how it promotes neurodegeneration. RESULTS:We used chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to identify potential targets of HDAC3 in cerebellar granule neurons. One of the genes identified was the activity-dependent and neuroprotective transcription factor, Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 4 (Npas4). We confirmed using ChIP that in healthy neurons HDAC3 associates weakly with the Npas4 promoter, however, this association is robustly increased in neurons primed to die. We find that HDAC3 also associates differentially with the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) gene promoter, with higher association in dying neurons. In contrast, association of HDAC3 with the promoters of other neuroprotective genes, including those encoding c-Fos, FoxP1 and Stat3, was barely detectable in both healthy and dying neurons. Overexpression of HDAC3 leads to a suppression of Npas4 and Bdnf expression in cortical neurons and treatment with RGFP966, a chemical inhibitor of HDAC3, resulted in upregulation of their expression. Expression of HDAC3 also repressed Npas4 and Bdnf promoter activity. CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that Bdnf and Npas4 are transcriptional targets of Hdac3-mediated repression. HDAC3 inhibitors have been shown to protect against behavioral deficits and neuronal loss in mouse models of neurodegeneration and it is possible that these inhibitors work by upregulating neuroprotective genes like Bdnf and Npas4.

Drosophila Ebi mediates Snail-dependent transcriptional repression through HDAC3-induced histone deacetylation.

Project description:The Drosophila Snail protein is a transcriptional repressor that is necessary for mesoderm formation. Here, we identify the Ebi protein as an essential Snail co-repressor. In ebi mutant embryos, Snail target genes are derepressed in the presumptive mesoderm. Ebi and Snail interact both genetically and physically. We identify a Snail domain that is sufficient for Ebi binding, and which functions independently of another Snail co-repressor, Drosophila CtBP. This Ebi interaction domain is conserved among all insect Snail-related proteins, is a potent repression domain and is required for Snail function in transgenic embryos. In mammalian cells, the Ebi homologue TBL1 is part of the NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 (histone deacetylase 3) co-repressor complex. We found that Ebi interacts with Drosophila HDAC3, and that HDAC3 knockdown or addition of a HDAC inhibitor impairs Snail-mediated repression in cells. In the early embryo, Ebi is recruited to a Snail target gene in a Snail-dependent manner, which coincides with histone hypoacetylation. Our results demonstrate that Snail requires the combined activities of Ebi and CtBP, and indicate that histone deacetylation is a repression mechanism in early Drosophila development.

Structural basis for the assembly of the SMRT/NCoR core transcriptional repression machinery.

Project description:Eukaryotic transcriptional repressors function by recruiting large coregulatory complexes that target histone deacetylase enzymes to gene promoters and enhancers. Transcriptional repression complexes, assembled by the corepressor NCoR and its homolog SMRT, are crucial in many processes, including development and metabolic physiology. The core repression complex involves the recruitment of three proteins, HDAC3, GPS2 and TBL1, to a highly conserved repression domain within SMRT and NCoR. We have used structural and functional approaches to gain insight into the architecture and biological role of this complex. We report the crystal structure of the tetrameric oligomerization domain of TBL1, which interacts with both SMRT and GPS2, and the NMR structure of the interface complex between GPS2 and SMRT. These structures, together with computational docking, mutagenesis and functional assays, reveal the assembly mechanism and stoichiometry of the corepressor complex.

The CCR4-NOT complex contributes to repression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II transcription.

Project description:The multi-subunit CCR4 (carbon catabolite repressor 4)-NOT (Negative on TATA) complex serves as a central coordinator of all different steps of eukaryotic gene expression. Here we performed a systematic and comparative analysis of cells where the CCR4-NOT subunits CNOT1, CNOT2 or CNOT3 were individually downregulated using doxycycline-inducible shRNAs. Microarray experiments showed that downregulation of either CNOT subunit resulted in elevated expression of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) genes which are found in a gene cluster on chromosome 6. Increased expression of MHC II genes after knock-down or knock-out of either CNOT subunit was seen in a variety of cell systems and also in naïve macrophages from CNOT3 conditional knock-out mice. CNOT2-mediated repression of MHC II genes occurred also in the absence of the master regulator class II transactivator (CIITA) and did not cause detectable changes of the chromatin structure at the chromosomal MHC II locus. CNOT2 downregulation resulted in an increased de novo transcription of mRNAs whereas tethering of CNOT2 to a regulatory region governing MHC II expression resulted in diminished transcription. These results expand the known repertoire of CCR4-NOT members for immune regulation and identify CNOT proteins as a novel group of corepressors restricting class II expression.

c-Jun downregulation by HDAC3-dependent transcriptional repression promotes osmotic stress-induced cell apoptosis.

Project description:c-Jun, a major transcription factor in the activating protein 1 (AP-1) family of regulatory proteins, is activated by many physiologic and pathologic stimuli. However, whether c-jun is regulated by epigenetic modification of chromatin structure is not clear. We showed here that c-jun was transcriptionally repressed in response to osmotic stress via a truncated HDAC3 generated by caspase-7-dependent cleavage at aspartic acid 391. The activation of caspase-7, which is independent of cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-12, depends on activation of caspase-8, which in turn requires MEK2 activity and secretion of FAS ligand. The cell apoptosis induced by the truncated HDAC3 or enhanced by c-Jun deficiency during osmotic stress was suppressed by exogenous expression of c-Jun, indicating that the downregulation of c-Jun by HDAC3-dependent transcriptional repression plays a role in regulating cell survival and apoptosis.

<i>Drosophila</i> Bag-of-marbles directly interacts with the CAF40 subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex to elicit repression of mRNA targets.

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster Bag-of-marbles (Bam) promotes germline stem cell (GSC) differentiation by repressing the expression of mRNAs encoding stem cell maintenance factors. Bam interacts with Benign gonial cell neoplasm (Bgcn) and the CCR4 deadenylase, a catalytic subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex. Bam has been proposed to bind CCR4 and displace it from the CCR4-NOT complex. Here, we investigated the interaction of Bam with the CCR4-NOT complex by using purified recombinant proteins. Unexpectedly, we found that Bam does not interact with CCR4 directly but instead binds to the CAF40 subunit of the complex in a manner mediated by a conserved N-terminal CAF40-binding motif (CBM). The crystal structure of the Bam CBM bound to CAF40 reveals that the CBM peptide adopts an α-helical conformation after binding to the concave surface of the crescent-shaped CAF40 protein. We further show that Bam-mediated mRNA decay and translational repression depend entirely on Bam's interaction with CAF40. Thus, Bam regulates the expression of its mRNA targets by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex through interaction with CAF40.

A CCR4-NOT Transcription Complex, Subunit 1, CNOT1, Variant Associated with Holoprosencephaly.

Project description:Holoprosencephaly is the incomplete separation of the forebrain during embryogenesis. Both genetic and environmental etiologies have been determined for holoprosencephaly; however, a genetic etiology is not found in most cases. In this report, we present two unrelated individuals with semilobar holoprosencephaly who have the identical de novo missense variant in the gene CCR4-NOT transcription complex, subunit 1 (CNOT1). The variant (c.1603C>T [p.Arg535Cys]) is predicted to be deleterious and is not present in public databases. CNOT1 has not been previously associated with holoprosencephaly or other brain malformations. In situ hybridization analyses of mouse embryos show that Cnot1 is expressed in the prosencephalic neural folds at gestational day 8.25 during the critical period for subsequent forebrain division. Combining human and mouse data, we show that CNOT1 is associated with incomplete forebrain division.
