Project description:In this study, we mapped for the first time differences in transcription binding among individuals and elucidated the genetic basis of such variation. Whole-genome Ste12 binding profiles were determined using ChIP-Seq in pheromone-treated cells of 43 segregants of a cross between two highly diverged yeast strains, YJM789 and S288c as well as the parental lines. We identified extensive Ste12 binding variation among individuals and mapped underlying cis- and trans- acting loci responsible for such variation. We showed that the majority of TF binding variation is cis-linked and that many variations are associated with polymorphisms residing in the binding motifs of Ste12 as well as those of several known and proposed Ste12 cofactors. We also identified two trans factors, AMN1 and FLO8, that modulate Ste12 binding to promoters of more than 10 genes under α-factor treatment. Neither of these two genes was known to regulate Ste12 previously, and we suggest that they may be key mediators of gene activity and phenotypic diversity. Ste12 binding strongly correlates with gene expression for more than 200 genes indicating that binding variation is functional. Many of the variable bound genes are involved in cell wall organization and biogenesis. Overall, we identified key regulators of molecular diversity among individuals and provide novel insights into mechanisms of gene regulation.

Overall, we identified key regulators of molecular diversity among individuals and provide novel insights into mechanisms of gene regulation. Two ChIP-Seq experiments and one Input DNA-Seq experiment for the yeast strains S96, HS959 and 43 MATa segregants were performed under alpha factor treatment conditions; an additional replicate was also performed for some of the strains. One ChIP-Seq experiment for each parental strain was performed without alpha factor treatment, and one ChIP-Seq experiment for each of the 24 deletion strains was performed under alpha factor treatment.

Project description:Cellular processes are subject to variability, or noise, yet mechanisms that promote cell-to-cell uniformity are poorly understood. We have identified such a role for Dig1, a redundant (with Dig2) MAPK-responsive inhibitor of the S. cerevisiae mating pathway transcription factor Ste12. Cells lacking Dig1, but not Dig2, exhibited increased variability in outputs of the mating pathway. dig1∆ mutants also displayed a Ste12-dependent defect in growth in the absence of mating pheromone and a quantitative defect in the process of mating, itself. In cells expressing two reporter genes driven by the same promoter, both intrinsic/uncorrelated and extrinsic/correlated noise were found to increase. Remarkably, the extrinsic noise phenotype in cells lacking Dig1 correlates with the aggregation of target genes: we observed subnuclear foci of Ste12 specifically in dig1∆ cells and, using a newly-developed method to immunoprecipitate a single locus from crosslinked chromatin, we found that Dig1 inhibits long-range interactions between Ste12 target genes in vivo. Dig1 may shield binding surfaces on Ste12 whose unmasking leads to inappropriate gene associations and increased gene expression noise. These studies reveal how investigations of variability modulation mechanisms can yield unexpected biological insights.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to determine the genes directly regulated by Ste12 in K. lactis. The experiment was performed in a cells to determine if the a-specific genes were bound by Ste12. Ste12 was tagged with c-myc and was immunoprecipitated with a c-myc antibody. Cells were starved in SD media lacking phosphate for 2 hours, then treated with 10µg/mL K. lactis alpha factor for 2 hours before harvesting. A control untagged strain was processed in parallel. The experiment was repeated 3 times, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Project description:We determined and classified Tec1-regulated genes in haploid strains of the Sigma1278b genetic background under vegetative growth conditions. For this purpose, we measured transcriptional profiles of five different haploid MATa yeast strains of the following relevant genotypes: (53 = YHUM1694) TEC1 STE12; (64 = YHUM1700) tec1? STE12; (66 = YHUM1701) tec1? ste12?; (10 = YHUM1676) (P)URA3-TEC1 ste12?; (42 = YHUM1642) (P)URA3-TEC1 1-280-STE12 1-688 tec1? ste12?. All strains were grown in duplicate in SC medium lacking leucine and histidine at 30 degree C to an optical density of 1.0 before extraction of total RNA and transcriptional profiling.

These studies reveal how investigations of variability modulation mechanisms can yield unexpected biological insights. The FUS1 locus is tagged with an array of lac operators. Wild type and dig1∆ cells containing this tagged FUS1 locus and expressing a mCherry-LacI were grown up for ChIP-chip. The FUS1 locus was selectively immunoprecipitated using an anti-DsRed antibody.

Project description:Calling cards technology using self-reporting transposons enables the identification of DNA-protein interactions through RNA sequencing . Here, we have drastically reduced the cost and labor requirements of calling card experiments in bulk populations of cells by introducing a DNA barcode into the calling card itself. An additional barcode incorporated during reverse transcription enables simultaneous transcriptome measurement in a facile and affordable protocol. We demonstrate that barcoded self-reporting transposons recover in vitro binding sites for four basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors with important roles in cell fate specification: ASCL1, MYOD1, NEUROD2, and NGN1. Further, simultaneous calling cards and transcriptional profiling during transcription factor overexpression identified both binding sites and gene expression changes for two of these factors. In sum, RNA-based identification of transcription factor binding sites and gene expression through barcoded self-reporting transposon calling cards and transcriptomes is an efficient and powerful method to infer gene regulatory networks in a population of cells.
