DNA binding specificity for the bHLH-PAS transcription factor family

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor-DNA interactions and their specificities have been described for many different classes of transcription factor families. However, heterodimeric transcription factor complexes still remain poorly characterised. The basic-Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor family is one of the largest transcription factor families that typically bind DNA though a degenerate CANNTG elements as heterodimers or homodimers. Here we characterise the DNA binding of the bHLH - Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) (bHLH-PAS) domain containing transcription factor family using SELEX-high-throughput sequencing coupled with quantitative computational modelling analysis. We show that most dimeric bHLH-PAS transcription factors bind to distinct core NNCGTG response elements but bind over a much larger footprint than previously characterised. Modelled DNA-protein interactions were found to correlate with structural analysis, DNA shape predictions and in vivo transcription factor occupancy.

Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors MYC-MAX and CLOCK-BMAL1 associate with histones for E-box access

Project description:Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TF) recognize E-boxes (CANNTG) and include over 100 members. Here we investigated how chromatinised E-boxes are engaged by two structurally diverse bHLH family members; the proto-oncogene MYC-MAX and the circadian TF, CLOCK-BMAL1. Both bind E-boxes preferentially near the nucleosomal entry/exit sites. Structural studies with artificial or endogenous nucleosome sequences illustrate that MYC-MAX/CLOCK-BMAL1 trigger DNA release from histones to gain access. The CLOCK-BMAL1 PAS dimerization domains engage the histone-octamer disc atop the H2A/H2B acidic patch, an interaction critical for circadian cycling. Binding of tandem E-boxes at endogenous DNA sequences is similarly achieved through direct interactions between two CLOCK-BMAL1 protomers and histones. At internal E-boxes, the MYC-MAX leucine zipper can also interact with histones H2B/H3, and its binding is indirectly enhanced by OCT4 elsewhere on the nucleosome. The nucleosomal E-box position and the type of bHLH dimerisation domain jointly determine the histone contact, the affinity, and the degree of competition/cooperativity with other nucleosome-bound factors.

Arnt2 tunes activity-dependent gene expression through NCoR2-mediated repression and Npas4-mediated activation

Project description:ChIP-, ATAC-, and RNA-seq data Neuronal activity-dependent transcription is tuned to ensure precise gene induction during periods of heightened synaptic activity, allowing for appropriate responses of activated neurons within neural circuits. The consequences of aberrant induction of activity-dependent genes on neuronal physiology are not yet clear. Here, we demonstrate that, in the absence of synaptic excitation, the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family transcription factor ARNT2 recruits the NCoR2 co-repressor complex to suppress neuronal activity-dependent regulatory elements and maintain low basal levels of inducible genes. This restricts inhibition of excitatory neurons, maintaining them in a state that is receptive to future sensory stimuli. By contrast, in response to heightened neuronal activity, ARNT2 recruits the neuronal-specific bHLH-PAS factor NPAS4 to activity-dependent regulatory elements to induce transcription and thereby increase somatic inhibitory input. Thus, the interplay of bHLH-PAS complexes at activity-dependent regulatory elements maintains temporal control of activity-dependent gene expression and scales somatic inhibition with circuit activity.

Downstream targets of ID1 transcription factor in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC)

Project description:ID-1, known as inhibitor of differentiation or a helix loop helix transcription factor which lack the basic DNA binding domain. It is known to bind to bHLH transcription factor and inhibit those bHLH to bind to the promoter thus inhibiting further transcription. Overexpression of ID-1 has been correlated with a variety of human cancers including breast, prostate, pancreatic, ovarian, endometrial, bladder cancer and melanomas. Recently known that if ID-1 is depleted, it abrogates cell proliferation, invasion and migration of cells in NSCLC. Further ID-1 expression is induced by Nicotine and EGF through the activation of nAChRs and EGFR. Here microarray analysis was done to compare differential gene expression patterns upon nicotine and EGF stimulation of A549 and H1650 cells and how ID1 depletion changes these patterns. We find that multiple genes are affected and the role of these genes in lung cancer will be elucidated. In this study we show that ID-1 regulates the expression of three genes STMN3, TPD52 and GSPT1 in NSCLC by activating the promoter of these genes either directly or indirectly. We also show that depletion of STMN3, TPD52 and GSPT1 prevented Nicotine and EGF induced cell proliferation, invasion and migration of cells in NSCLC. Two cell lines (A549, H1650) each having 5 samples.

Transcription profiling of E47 targets in the neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH at 8 hours and 20 hours

Project description:E47 is a basic Helix Loop Helix (bHLH) transcription factor that has important roles in cell fate determination and differentiation of many cell types. In the nervous system E47 heterodimerizes with tissue-specific, pro-neural bHLH transcription factors and activates downstream target genes. To identify the relevant target genes of bHLH transcription factors in neural cells, we performed gene expression profiling of the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH engineered to acutely express ectopic E47 by an adenoviral vector. The experiments were done at two time points following adenoviral infection, 8 hours and 20 hours. Genes induced by E47 after 8 hours are likely to be direct targets of this transcription factor.

Ptf1a binding sites in a pancreatic cell line which mimics embryonic day E10.5 pancreas progenitors.

Project description:Pancreatic specific transcription factor1a (Ptf1a) immunoprecipitated chromatin from 266.6 cells produced 26 million tags with the Illumina high throughput sequencing technology. Many of the mapped tags were genes which were found to be differentially expressed at E10.5 in the microarray experiments comparing Ptf1a heterozygotes versus null mutant mice (study GSE26816). As Ptf1a is a bHLH transcription factor, it recognizes an E Box on the chromatin CANNTG. Since it belongs to a transcription factor complex, one of which recognizes the binding site TGGGAA, we also found this sequence one, two or three helical turns of DNA away from the E-box where peaks were detected. Ptf1a chromatin immunoprecipitation of cross-linked pancreatic cells, 266.6, to compare with the expressed genes in Ptf1a +/- vs -/- E10.5 pancreatic dorsal buds.

Curated collection of yeast transcription factor DNA binding specificity data reveals novel structural and gene regulatory insights

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) play a central role in regulating gene expression by interacting with cis regulatory DNA elements associated with their target genes. Recent surveys have examined the DNA binding specificities of most Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factors but a comprehensive evaluation of their data has been lacking. Results: We analyzed in vitro and in vivo TF-DNA binding data reported in previous large-scale studies to generate a comprehensive, curated resource of DNA binding specificity data for all characterized S. cerevisiae transcription factors. Our collection comprises DNA binding site motifs and comprehensive in vitro DNA binding specificity data for all possible 8 bp sequences. Included in this database is DNA binding specificity data for 27 TFs independently generated by PBM analysis in this current study. Investigation of the DNA binding specificities within the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) and VHR transcription factor families revealed unexpected plasticity in TF-DNA recognition: intriguingly, the VHR transcription factors, newly characterized by protein binding microarrays in this study, recognize bZIP like DNA motifs, while the bZIP transcription factor Hac1 recognizes a motif highly similar to the canonical E-box motif of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. We identified several transcription factors with distinct primary and secondary motifs, which might be associated with different regulatory functions. Finally, integrated analysis of in vivo transcription factor binding data with protein binding microarray data lends further support for indirect DNA binding in vivo by sequence-specific transcription factors.
