Regulatory Sharing Between Estrogen Receptor α Bound Enhancers [ChIP-seq]


ABSTRACT: The human genome encodes an order of magnitude more gene expression enhancers than promoters, suggesting that most genes are regulated by the combined action of multiple enhancers. We have previously shown that neighboring estrogen-responsive enhancers, which are approximately 5,000 basepairs apart, exhibit complex synergistic contributions to the production of an estrogenic transcriptional response. Here we sought to determine the molecular underpinnings of the observed enhancer cooperativity. We generated genetic deletions of individual estrogen receptor  (ER) bound enhancers and found that enhancers containing full estrogen response element (ERE) motifs control ER binding at neighboring sites, while enhancers with pre-existing histone acetylation/accessibility confer a permissible chromatin environment to the neighboring enhancers. Genome engineering revealed that a cluster of two enhancers with half EREs could not compensate for the lack of a full ERE site within the cluster. In contrast, two enhancers with full EREs produced a transcriptional response greater than the wild-type locus. By swapping genomic sequences between enhancers, we found that the genomic location in which a full ERE resides strongly influences enhancer activity. Our results lead to a model in which a full ERE is required for ER recruitment, but the presence of pre-existing histone acetylation within an enhancer cluster is also needed in order for estrogen-driven gene regulation to occur.
