Deciphering cis-regulatory logic with 100 million synthetic promoters

ABSTRACT: In order to generate data suitable to decipher cis-regulatory logic, we generated ~100 million synthetic promoters (in yeast) comprised of random DNA and measured their expression by FACS (sorting into 18 bins).

Deciphering eukaryotic gene-regulatory logic with 100 million random promoters.

Project description:How transcription factors (TFs) interpret cis-regulatory DNA sequence to control gene expression remains unclear, largely because past studies using native and engineered sequences had insufficient scale. Here, we measure the expression output of >100 million synthetic yeast promoter sequences that are fully random. These sequences yield diverse, reproducible expression levels that can be explained by their chance inclusion of functional TF binding sites. We use machine learning to build interpretable models of transcriptional regulation that predict ~94% of the expression driven from independent test promoters and ~89% of the expression driven from native yeast promoter fragments. These models allow us to characterize each TF's specificity, activity and interactions with chromatin. TF activity depends on binding-site strand, position, DNA helical face and chromatin context. Notably, expression level is influenced by weak regulatory interactions, which confound designed-sequence studies. Our analyses show that massive-throughput assays of fully random DNA can provide the big data necessary to develop complex, predictive models of gene regulation.

Environment-specific combinatorial cis-regulation in synthetic promoters.

Project description:When a cell's environment changes, a large transcriptional response often takes place. The exquisite sensitivity and specificity of these responses are controlled in large part by the combinations of cis-regulatory elements that reside in gene promoters and adjacent control regions. Here, we present a study aimed at accurately modeling the relationship between combinations of cis-regulatory elements and the expression levels they drive in different environments. We constructed four libraries of synthetic promoters in yeast, consisting of combinations of transcription factor binding sites and assayed their expression in four different environments. Thermodynamic models relating promoter sequences to their corresponding four expression levels explained at least 56% of the variation in expression in each library through the different conditions. Analyses of these models suggested that a large fraction of regulated gene expression is explained by changes in the effective concentration of sequence-specific transcription factors, and we show that in most cases, the corresponding transcription factors are expressed in a pattern that is predicted by the thermodynamic models. Our analysis uncovered two binding sites that switch from activators to repressors in different environmental conditions. In both the cases, the switch was not the result of a single transcription factor changing regulatory modes, but most likely due to competition between multiple factors binding to the same site. Our analysis suggests that this mode of regulation allows for large and steep changes in expression in response to changing transcription factor concentrations. Our results demonstrate that many complex changes in gene expression are accurately explained by simple changes in the effective concentrations of transcription factors.

Machine learning for discovery: deciphering RNA splicing logic

Project description:Machine learning methods, particularly neural networks trained on large datasets, are transforming how scientists approach scientific discovery and experimental design. However, current state-of-the-art neural networks are limited by their uninterpretability: despite providing accurate predictions, they cannot describe how they arrived at their predictions. Here, using an ``interpretable-by-design'' approach, we present a neural network model that provides insights into RNA splicing, a fundamental process in the transfer of genomic information into functional biochemical products. Although we designed our model to emphasize interpretability, its predictive accuracy is on par with state-of-the-art models. To demonstrate the model's interpretability, we introduce a visualization that, for any given exon, allows us to trace and quantify the entire decision process from input sequence to output splicing prediction. Importantly, the model revealed novel components of the splicing logic, which we experimentally validated. This study highlights how interpretable machine learning can advance scientific discovery.

Analysis of combinatorial cis-regulation in synthetic and genomic promoters.

Project description:Transcription factor binding sites are being discovered at a rapid pace. It is now necessary to turn attention towards understanding how these sites work in combination to influence gene expression. Quantitative models that accurately predict gene expression from promoter sequence will be a crucial part of solving this problem. Here we present such a model, based on the analysis of synthetic promoter libraries in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Thermodynamic models based only on the equilibrium binding of transcription factors to DNA and to each other captured a large fraction of the variation in expression in every library. Thermodynamic analysis of these libraries uncovered several phenomena in our system, including cooperativity and the effects of weak binding sites. When applied to the S. cerevisiae genome, a model of repression by Mig1 (which was trained on synthetic promoters) predicts a number of Mig1-regulated genes that lack significant Mig1-binding sites in their promoters. The success of the thermodynamic approach suggests that the information encoded by combinations of cis-regulatory sites is interpreted primarily through simple protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions, with complicated biochemical reactions-such as nucleosome modifications-being downstream events. Quantitative analyses of synthetic promoter libraries will be an important tool in unravelling the rules underlying combinatorial cis-regulation.

Using instrument logic to improve identifications in low stoichiometry SILAC/TMT experiments

Project description:Pulsed SILAC approaches allow measurement of protein dynamics, including protein translation and degradation. However, its use in quantifying acute changes has been limited due the low labeled peptide stoichiometry. Here, we describe the use of instrument logic to select peaks of interest via targeted mass differences (TMD) for overcoming this limitation. Comparing peptides artificially mixed at low heavy-to-light stoichiometry measured using standard data dependent acquisition with or without TMD revealed 2-3 fold increases in identification without significant loss in quantification precision for both MS2 and MS3 methods. Our benchmarked method approach increases throughput by reducing the necessary machine time. We anticipate that all pulsed SILAC measurements, if combined with TMT or not, would greatly benefit from instrument logic based approaches.
