Glucocorticoid Receptor Quaternary Structure Drives Chromatin Occupancy and Transcriptional Outcome

ABSTRACT: Most transcription factors, including nuclear receptors, are widely modeled as binding regulatory elements as monomers, homodimers, or heterodimers. Recent findings in live cells show that the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) forms tetramers on enhancers, due to an allosteric alteration induced by DNA binding, and suggest that higher oligomerization states are important for the gene regulatory responses of GR. Using a variant (GRtetra) that mimics this allosteric transition, we performed genome-wide studies using a GR knock-out cell line with reintroduced wild-type GR or reintroduced GRtetra. GRtetra acts as a super receptor by binding to response elements not accessible to wild-type receptor, and both induces and represses more genes than GRwt. These results argue that DNA binding induces a structural transition to the tetrameric state, forming a transient higher order structure that drives both the activating and repressive actions of glucocorticoids.

Receptor quaternary organization explains G protein-coupled receptor family structure.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the quaternary structures of Rhodopsin-family GPCRs. Method: Analyzed 60 receptors from HEK 293T cells. Results: 1) Most of these receptors are monomers. 2) The phylogenetic distribution of dimers suggests that monomers have an evolutionary advantage due to constraints imposed by dimerization on rates of receptor diversification.

Prednisolone-induced differential gene expression in liver of mice carrying the wild type or a dimerization-defective glucocorticoid receptor

Project description:Glucocorticoids control expression of a large number of genes after binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Transcription may be regulated either by binding of the GR dimer to DNA regulatory elements or by protein-protein interactions of GR monomers with other transcription factors. Although the type of regulation for a number of individual target genes is known, the relative contribution of both mechanisms to the regulation of the entire transcriptional program remains elusive. To study the importance of GR dimerization in regulation of gene expression, we performed gene expression profiling in liver of prednisolone-treated wild type (WT) and genetically engineered mice that have lost the ability to form GR-dimers (GRdim). Mice carrying a wild type (WT) glucocorticoid receptor or a dimerization-defective glucocorticoid receptor (GRdim) were treated subcutaneous with vehicle or prednisolone (1mg/kg) and sacrificed 150 minutes later. From the livers of these mice total RNA was extracted, processed and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. In total 24 mice (6 vehicle-treated WT mice, 6 prednisolone-treated WT mice, 6 vehicle-treated GRdim mice and 6 prednisolone-treated GRdim mice) were included in the study.

General and sequence-specific roles for DNA in glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding stoichiometry

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds to DNA in at least three stoichiometric ratios to regulate gene expression. The dimeric binding of GR to a 15 base pair core sequence has been well studied, and is associated with activation of gene expression. Monomeric GR has been associated with repression. GR has also been shown to form tetramers on DNA in live cells. The role of DNA sequence in directing DNA-binding stoichiometry and subsequent gene regulation is not clear. We took an unbiased approach using SELEX-seq to calculate comprehensive monomeric- and dimeric-binding profiles for GR. The monomeric site is composed of a canonical half-site, but is distinguished from the dimer site by a downstream TTTg motif and the absence of a second half-site. To probe the mechanism of how this motif favors monomeric binding, we performed Spec-/Coop-seq. The TTTg increases monomeric affinity while decreasing cooperative dimeric binding. Crystal structures indicated that TTTg results in a narrowed minor groove bringing residues Y455 and K471 of GR into the proximity of DNA, increasing affinity. Interestingly, although monomeric binding is more often associated with repression of gene expression than dimeric binding, the trend is not significant. Consistent with live-cell imaging, a meta-analysis of GR:DNA structures reveals that, regardless of binding sequence, GR binds to DNA as a dimer of dimers using highly similar interfaces. This suggests that the functional stoichiometry of GR in the cell is tetrameric, and that sequence may modulate GR activity.

Glucocorticoid receptor collaborates with pioneer factors and AP-1 to execute genome-wide regulation

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates transcription through binding to specific DNA motifs, particularly at enhancers. While the motif to which it binds is constant across cell types, GR has cell-type specific binding at genomic loci, resulting in expression of different genes. The presence of other bound transcription factors (TFs) is hypothesized to specify where GR binds. Here, we addressed the roles of other TFs in the glucocorticoid response by comparing changes in GR binding and nascent transcription at candidate cis-regulatory elements in two distinct cell types. We found that each cell type binds GR at thousands of non-overlapping loci, but only a small fraction of these sites also show changes in transcription. GR binding is associated with pioneer factor binding, whereas transcription is induced at sites bound by AP-1. These results support a model of transcriptional regulation in which multiple classes of TFs are required. The pioneer factors increase chromatin accessibility, facilitating the binding of GR and additional factors. AP-1 then poises a fraction of sites to be rapidly activated upon glucocorticoid-induced GR binding. GR also induces transcription at a specific set of enhancers. The coordinated activity of multiple TFs then results in cell-type specific changes in gene expression. We anticipate that many models of inducible gene expression also require multiple distinct TFs that act at multiple rate-limited steps of transcriptional regulation.

TNF induces Glucocorticoid Resistance by reshaping the GR Nuclear Cofactor Profile: Investigation of TNF mediated effects on the GR mediated gene expression

Project description:Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) is defined as an unresponsiveness to the anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (GCs) and their receptor, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It is a serious problem in the management of inflammatory diseases and occurs frequently. The strong pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF induces an acute form of GCR, not only in mice, but also in several cell lines, e.g. in the hepatoma cell line BWTG3, as evidenced by impaired Dexamethasone (Dex)-induced GR-dependent gene expression. We report that TNF has a significant and broad impact on the transcriptional performance of GR, but no impact on nuclear translocation, dimerization or DNA binding capacity of GR. Proteome-wide proximity-mapping (BioID), however, revealed that the GR interactome is strongly modulated by TNF. One GR cofactor that interacts significantly less with the receptor under GCR conditions is p300. NFκB activation and p300 knockdown both reduce transcriptional output of GR, whereas p300 overexpression and NFκB inhibition revert TNF-induced GCR, which is in support of a cofactor reshuffle model. This hypothesis is supported by FRET studies. This mechanism of GCR opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions in GCR diseases

HNF4A is required to specify glucocorticoid action in the liver - ATACseq

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a nuclear hormone receptor critical to the regulation of energy metabolism and the inflammatory response. The actions of GR are highly dependent on cell type and environmental context. Here, we demonstrate the necessity for liver lineage-determining factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A) in defining liver-specificity of GR action. In normal mouse liver, the HNF4 motif lies adjacent to the glucocorticoid response element (GRE) at GR binding sites found within regions of open chromatin. In the absence of HNF4A, the liver GR cistrome is remodelled, with both loss and gain of GR recruitment evident. Loss of chromatin accessibility at HNF4A-marked sites leads to loss of GR binding at weak GRE motifs. GR binding is gained at sites characterised by strong GRE motifs, which typically show GR recruitment in non-liver tissues. The functional importance of these HNF4A-regulated GR sites is further demonstrated by evidence of an altered transcriptional response to glucocorticoid treatment in the Hnf4a-null liver.

Comparison of gene expression profiles for hormone induction in the presence and absence of AP1 binding.

Project description:Gene expression array analysis component. Ligand-dependent transcription by the nuclear receptor glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is mediated by interactions with co-regulators. The role of these interactions in determining selective binding of GR to regulatory elements remains unclear. Recent findings indicate a large fraction of genomic GR binding coincides with chromatin that is accessible prior to hormone treatment, suggesting that receptor binding is dictated by proteins that maintain chromatin in an open state. Combining nucleolytic cleavage and chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing, we identify the activator protein 1 (AP1) as a major partner for productive GR-chromatin interactions. AP1 is critical for GR-regulated transcription and recruitment to co-occupied regulatory elements, illustrating an extensive AP1-GR interaction network. Importantly, the maintenance of baseline chromatin accessibility facilitates GR recruitment and is dependent on AP1 binding. We propose a model where the basal occupancy of transcription factors act to prime chromatin and direct inducible transcription factors to select regions in the genome.
