Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of transcription factor expression in Arabidopsis roots.

ABSTRACT: Understanding how the expression of transcription factor (TF) genes is modulated is essential for reconstructing gene regulatory networks. There is increasing evidence that sequences other than upstream noncoding can contribute to modulating gene expression, but how frequently they do so remains unclear. Here, we investigated the regulation of TFs expressed in a tissue-enriched manner in Arabidopsis roots. For 61 TFs, we created GFP reporter constructs driven by each TF's upstream noncoding sequence (including the 5'UTR) fused to the GFP reporter gene alone or together with the TF's coding sequence. We compared the visually detectable GFP patterns with endogenous mRNA expression patterns, as defined by a genome-wide microarray root expression map.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis roots - transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of transcription factor expression

Project description:Understanding how the expression of transcription factor (TF) genes is modulated is essential for reconstructing gene regulatory networks.

We compared the visually detectable GFP patterns with endogenous mRNA expression patterns, as defined by a genome-wide microarray root expression map. Experiment Overall Design: To obtain a comprehensive non-overlapping root expression map which would be compared with promoter GFP fusion lines by imaging, we identified three cell type specific GFP marker lines and profiled transcripts in selected cell types using a cell sorting-microarray technique.

Position-dependent function of human sequence-specific transcription factors

Project description:Patterns of transcriptional activity are encoded in our genome through regulatory elements such as promoters or enhancers that, paradoxically, often contain similar assortments of sequence-specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Knowledge of how these sequence motifs encode multiple, often overlapping gene expression programs is central to understanding gene regulation and how mutations in non-coding DNA manifest in disease. Exploiting natural genetic variation, perturbation of endogenous TF protein levels, and analysis of synthetic regulatory elements using a novel transcription start site (TSS) capturing massively parallel reporter assay approach, here we show that the outcome of TF binding on transcription initiation is position dependent. Analyzing TF motif occurrences relative to the TSS, we identified several motifs with highly preferential and superhelical positioning. We show that these patterns are a combination of a TF's distinct functional profiles: many TFs, including canonical activators like NRF1, NFY, Sp1 or YY1, activate or repress transcription initiation depending on their precise position relative to the TSS. As such, TFs can collectively guide the site and frequency of transcription initiation. More broadly, these findings reveal how similar assortments of TFs, but with different spatial relationships, can result in distinct gene regulatory outcomes and underscore a critical role for TSS data in decoding the regulatory information of our genome.

Joint sequence and chromatin neural networks characterize the differential abilities of Forkhead transcription factors to engage inaccessible chromatin (RNA-seq)

Project description:The DNA-binding activities of transcription factors (TFs) are influenced by both intrinsic sequence preferences and extrinsic interactions with cell-specific chromatin landscapes and other regulatory proteins. Disentangling the roles of these determinants in TF-DNA binding remains challenging. For instance, the FoxA subfamily of Forkhead domain TFs are known pioneer factors, yet their binding varies across cell types, pointing to a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic forces guiding their binding. How such sequence and chromatin influences vary across related Forkhead domain TFs remains mostly uncharacterized. Here, we present a principled approach to compare the relative contributions of intrinsic DNA sequence preference and cell-specific chromatin environments to a TF’s DNA-binding activities. We over-express a selection of Fox TFs in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, which offer a platform to contrast each TF's binding activity within the same preexisting chromatin background. By developing and applying a neural network that jointly models sequence and chromatin data, we can evaluate how sequence and preexisting chromatin features contribute to induced TF binding, both at individual sites and genome-wide. We demonstrate that Fox TFs bind different DNA targets, and drive differential gene expression patterns, even when induced in identical chromatin settings. Differential Fox binding activities can be attributed to distinct DNA-binding preferences coupled with differential abilities to engage relatively inaccessible chromatin. We propose that varying preferences for preexisting chromatin states enables the functional diversification of paralogous TFs.

RSC mediated nucleosome positioning and GRFs form barriers in promoters to limit divergent noncoding transcription [nascent RNA-Seq]

Project description:The directionality of gene promoters, the proportion of protein coding over divergent noncoding transcription, is highly variable and regulated. How promoter directionality is controlled remains poorly understood. We show that chromatin remodelling complex RSC, general regulatory factors (GRFs) including transcription factors (TFs) can facilitate promoter directionality by attenuating divergent noncoding transcription. Depletion of RSC increased divergent noncoding and decreased protein coding transcription of promoters with strong directionality. Consistent with RSC’s role in regulating chromatin, RSC depletion negatively impacts nucleosome positions upstream of the nucleosome depleted region where divergent transcription initiates, suggesting that nucleosome positioning upstream in promoters physically blocks the recruitment of transcription machinery. Likewise, divergent transcription can be suppressed by targeting GRFs and TFs or the bulky dCas9 protein to transcriptional initiation sites. We propose that RSC mediated nucleosome positioning, GRFs including TFs form the physical barriers in promoters for limiting of divergent transcription, thereby controlling promoter directionality.

DNAseq analysis of a genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 library in haploid human embryonic stem cells transfected with a methylated construct containing the FXS-related mutation upstream to an EGFP reporter gene

Project description:The primary mechanism causing Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the expansion and silencing of a repetitive CGG sequence in the 5’-UTR of the FMR1 gene. To identify novel epigenetic pathways involved in FXS pathogenesis, we have established a model system for FMR1 silencing using a construct containing the FXS-related FMR1 CGG expansion upstream to an EGFP reporter gene. This construct was methylated in vitro and introduced into a genome-wide loss-of-function (LOF) library established in haploid human pluripotent stem cells. Library cells were then sorted to GFP-positive and GFP-negative populations. The analysis of the changes in abundance of mutants between the GFP-positive and GFP-negative populations has yielded a list of candidate genes whose functional loss reversed the methylation-induced silencing of the expanded FMR1 5'-UTR sequence.

ChIP-seq for Characterization of transcription factor function and patterns fo gene regulation in HepG2 cells

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) are trans-acting proteins that bind cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in DNA to control gene expression. Here, we analyze the genomic localization profiles of 529 sequence-specific TFs and 151 cofactors and chromatin regulators in the cancer cell line HepG2, for a total of 680 broadly-termed DNA-Associated Proteins (DAPs). We use this deep collection to model each TF's impact on gene expression, including identifying a cohort of 26 candidate transcriptional repressors. We examine High Occupancy Target (HOT) sites in the context of three-dimensional genome organization and show biased motif placement in enhancer-promoter connections involving HOT sites. We also find a substantial number of closed chromatin regions with multiple DAPs bound and explore their properties, finding that a MAFF/MAFK TF pair correlates with transcriptional repression. Altogether, these analyses provide novel insights into the regulatory logic of the human cell line HepG2 genome and demonstrate the usefulness of large genomic analyses for elucidation of individual TF functions.
