Project description:YAP, a major downstream effector of the Hippo signaling pathway, is an important regulator of cell proliferation. Previous studies have shown that YAP cooperates with the two transcription factors E2F and MYC to mediate G1 to S transition by regulating early cell cycle gene expression. On the other hand, the ability of YAP to regulate G2/M gene expression is dependent on the Myb-MuvB (MMB) complex, consisting of the evolutionary MuvB core complex of five proteins and the facultative subunit B-MYB, a transcription factor. We now carried out interaction studies and found that YAP directly binds to the B-MYB subunit of MMB. Disruption of the YAP/B-MYB interaction by overexpression of the YAP binding domain of B-MYB results in errors in cell division. We also show that YAP and MMB interact in vivo in the developing heart. Genome wide expression and binding studies revealed that YAP and MMB regulate an overlapping set of cell cycle genes in cardiomyocytes. Cardiac specific deletion of the LIN9 subunit of MMB prevents the upregulation of cell cycle genes and the increased proliferation of cardiomyocytes lacking the hippo-signaling component SAV1. Similarly, we find that proliferation of postnatal cardiomyocytes induced by constitutive active YAP depends on MMB. Our findings provide new insights in the mechanisms of cell cycle regulation by the Hippo pathway in cardiomyocytes and suggests that YAP and MMB interact to induce genes critical for cell cycle regulation.

Project description:Myb-MuvB (MMB)/dREAM is a nine subunit complex first described in Drosophila as a repressor of transcription, dependent upon E2F2 and the RBFs. Myb, an integral member of MMB, curiously plays no role in the silencing of the test genes previously analyzed. Moreover, Myb plays an activating role in DNA replication in Drosophila egg chamber follicle cells. The essential functions for Myb are executed as part of MMB. This duality of function lead to the hypothesis that MMB, which contains both known activator and repressor proteins, might function as part of a switching mechanism that is dependent upon DNA sites and developmental context. Here, we used proliferating Drosophila Kc tissue culture cells to explore both the network of genes regulated by MMB (employing RNAi and micro-array expression analysis) and the genomic locations of MMB following chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and tiling array analysis. MMB occupies thousands of chromosomal sites where a substantial number are proximal to repressed genes that are normally expressed in a wide range of developmental pathways. At many of these sites, E2F2 was critical for repression whereas at other non-overlapping sites, Myb was critical for repression. These data highlight that the MMB factors are utilized in a combinatorial way for targeting gene regulation. We also found sites where MMB was a positive regulator of transcript levels that included genes required for mitotic functions (G2/M), which may explain some of the chromosome instability phenotypes attributed to loss of Myb function in myb mutants.

Project description:A-MYB (MYBL1) is a transcription factor with a role in meiosis in spermatocytes. The related B-MYB protein is a key proto-oncogene and a master regulator activating late cell cycle genes. To activate genes, B-MYB forms a complex with MuvB and is recruited indirectly to cell cycle genes homology region (CHR) promoter sites of target genes. Activation through the B-MYB-MuvB (MMB) complex is essential for successful mitosis. Here, we discover that A-MYB has a function in transcriptional regulation of the mitotic cell cycle and can substitute for B-MYB. Knockdown experiments in cells not related to spermatogenesis show that B-MYB loss alone only delays cell cycle progression. Only dual knockdown of B-MYB and A-MYB causes cell cycle arrest. A-MYB can substitute for B-MYB in binding to MuvB. The resulting A-MYB-MuvB complex activates genes through CHR sites. We find that A-MYB activates the same target genes as B-MYB. Many of the corresponding proteins are central regulators of the cell division cycle. In summary, we demonstrate that A-MYB is an activator of the mitotic cell cycle by activating late cell cycle genes.

Project description:The core cell cycle machinery genes are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle specific manner. During cell cycle exit in quiescence or senescence, the DREAM complex, which is the repressive form of MuvB, directs transcriptional repression of cell cycle genes; conversely during cell proliferation, the complex of MuvB with the transcription factors (TFs) B-MYB and FOXM1 activate mitotic genes during the G2 phase of the cell cycle. The mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of these complexes are still poorly characterised. Here we combine biochemical analysis and in vitro reconstitution, with structural analysis by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), to functionally examine these complexes. Our data suggests that MuvB is a chromatin regulator whereby a core region binds the nucleosome and remodels it, thereby exposing nucleosomal DNA. This remodelling activity is supported by B-MYB which directly binds the remodelled DNA. Given the remodelling activity on the nucleosome, we propose that the MuvB complex with B-MYB (MMB) function as a pioneer transcription factor complex. Our data rationalises prior biochemical and cellular studies and provides a molecular framework of interactions on a protein complex, which is key for cell cycle regulation.

Experiment Overall Design: RNAi to deplete Lin-52, Mip40, Myb, Mip120, Mip130, E2F2, both RBFs (RBF1 and RBF2) and L(3)MBT were performed in triplicate. RNAi with a nonspecific RNA derived from a pBSK+ plasmid (named SK+) was used as control. Total RNA was extracted from RNAi-transfected cells after 4 days using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN).

Project description:YAP, the key protein effector of the Hippo pathway, is a transcriptional co-activator that controls the expression of cell cycle genes, promotes cell growth and proliferation and regulates organ size. YAP modulates gene transcription by binding to distal enhancers, but the mechanisms of gene regulation by YAP-bound enhancers remain poorly understood. Here we show that constitutive active YAP5SA leads to widespread changes in chromatin accessibility in untransformed MCF10A cells. Newly accessible regions include YAP-bound enhancers that mediate activation of cycle genes regulated by the Myb-MuvB (MMB) complex. By CRISPR-interference we identify a role for YAP-bound enhancers in phosphorylation of Pol II at Ser5 at MMB-regulated promoters, extending previously published studies that suggested YAP primarily regulates the pause-release step and transcriptional elongation. YAP5SA also leads to less accessible 'closed' chromatin regions, which are not directly YAP-bound but which contain binding motifs for the p53 family of transcription factors. Diminished accessibility at these regions is, at least in part, a consequence of reduced expression and chromatin-binding of the p53 family member ΔNp63 resulting in downregulation of ΔNp63-target genes and promoting YAP-mediated cell migration. In summary, our studies uncover changes in chromatin accessibility and activity that contribute to the oncogenic activities of YAP.

Project description:In order to evaluate the global transcriptomic changes in endoreplicating cells in Drosophila melanogaster we performed RNA-Seq. Endoreplicating cells (salivary glands) and mitotic cycling cells (brains and imaginal discs) were harvested from feeding 3rd instar larvae and mRNA levels were compared. Consistent with our previous results, we found that endoreplicating cells repress genes regulated by the E2F1 transcription factor as well as genes regulated by the Myb-MuvB (MMB) transcription factor complex.

Project description:Activation of YAP is frequently observed in cancer and is associated with poor outcomes, making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Previous studies have mainly focused on blocking the interaction of YAP with TEAD transcription factors. Here we took a different approach by interfering with the binding of YAP to the transcription factor B-MYB using MY-COMP, a fragment of B-MYB containing the YAP binding domain fused to a nuclear localization signal. We found that expression of MY-COMP inhibited the binding of B-MYB to YAP, resulting in growth defects, nuclear abnormalities and polyploidization in HeLa cells. Additionally, MY-COMP interfered with normal cell cycle progression of YAP-dependent uveal melanoma cells, but its effects were much weaker in YAP-independent cutaneous melanoma cell lines. MY-COMP antagonized the YAP-dependent expression of MMB-regulated cell cycle genes, providing an explanation for the observed phenotypes. We identified NIMA-related kinase (NEK2) as a candidate target downstream of YAP and B-MYB, contributing to the transformation of YAP-dependent uveal tumor cell lines. Overall, our findings suggest that targeting selected YAP-MMB regulated genes such as NEK2 or inhibiting the WW-domains of YAP to suppress YAP-regulated cell cycle genes could provide a novel mechanism to antagonize the pro-tumorigenic functions of YAP.
