Dissecting OCT4 defines the role of nucleosome binding in reprogramming

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to dissect the transcription factor OCT4 and reveal which parts of the protein are essential for interaction with nucleosomes and access to closed chromatin. We revealed that the DNA-binding domain mediates the interaction of OCT4 with nucleosomes. Remarkably, nucleosome-binding can be uncoupled from DNA-binding, diminishing the ability of OCT4 to access to closed chromatin, thus losing the pioneer function. We show that the pioneer function of OCT4 is not only essential during reprogramming differentiated cells to pluripotency but also during pluripotency maintenance of embryonic stem cells. Overall, this study shows how pioneer transcription factors interact with nucleosomes to engage the genome and control cellular identity, highlighting that nucleosomes are not always barriers to genome accessibility .

Nucleosome binding by the pioneer transcription factor OCT4

Project description:The nucleosome is a fundamental unit of chromatin in eukaryotes, and generally prevents the binding of transcription factors to genomic DNA. Pioneer transcription factors overcome the nucleosome barrier, and bind their target DNA sequences in chromatin. OCT4 is a representative pioneer transcription factor that plays a role in stem cell pluripotency. In the present study, we biochemically analyzed the nucleosome binding by OCT4. Crosslinking mass spectrometry showed that OCT4 binds the nucleosome.

The pioneer factor OCT4 requires the chromatin remodeller BRG1 to support gene regulatory element function in mouse embryonic stem cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors are able to recognise and bind their motif sequences in inaccessible or closed chromatin, and their ability to achieve this is required to establish new regulatory elements and transcriptional networks during development and cellular reprogramming. An essential feature of this pioneering activity is the transition from inaccessible chromatin to a nucleosome-depleted and accessible chromatin state typical of normal regulatory elements, and this is believed to facilitate further transcription factor binding events. However, the mechanisms by which many pioneer transcription factors achieve this remarkable feat remain elusive. Here we reveal that the pluripotency-associated pioneer factor OCT4 binds inaccessible chromatin to shape the chromatin accessibility, transcription factor co-binding and regulatory potential of thousands of distal regulatory elements in mouse embryonic stem cells, demonstrating that its pioneering activity is a feature of normal pluripotency, and not just reprogramming. The accessible chromatin formed at OCT4 binding sites relies on the chromatin remodelling factor BRG1, which is recruited to these sites by OCT4. The occupancy of BRG1 is then required to support OCT4/SOX2 co-binding and normal expression of the pluripotency-associated transcriptome, and this reliance on BRG1 reflects OCT4 binding dynamics during cellular reprograming and early mouse development. Together these observations reveal a distinct requirement for the chromatin remodelling factor BRG1 in shaping the pioneering activity of OCT4 and regulating the pluripotency network in embryonic stem cells.

OSKM factors cooperatively engage chromatin to initiate reprogramming

Project description:Reprogramming cells from one fate to another, using transcription factors, generates cells for research and potential therapy, yet little is known about the initial engagement of reprogramming factors with the genome. We mapped the interactions between Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) and the human genome during the first 48 hours of cellular reprogramming to pluripotency. Unlike that reported in ES/iPS cells, we find extensive overlap in the initial binding of OSKM, demonstrating that the initial regulatory network differs markedly from that in pluripotency. OSK act as pioneer factors for c-Myc, and c-Myc enhances the engagement of OSK, including at many genes that are required for conversion to pluripotency. Distal enhancer sites in closed chromatin dominate the initial OSKM distribution. Hierarchical chromatin binding during reprogramming resembles that employed during development. Four chIP-seq data sets (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) are included, one lane per factor, no replicates. Also included is an input lane from the same conditions and two mock lentiviral controls (no exogenous OSKM factors) treated with Oct4 IP and c-Myc IP.

Jade1 and the HBO1 complex are spatial-selective cofactors of Oct4

Project description:Oct4 is a master regulator of pluripotency. Potential Oct4 interactors have been cataloged extensively but the manner and significance of these interactions are incompletely defined. Like other POU domain proteins, Oct4 is capable of binding to DNA in multiple configurations, however the relationship between these configurations and cofactor recruitment (and hence transcription output) are unknown. Here, we show that Oct4 interacts with common and unique proteins when bound to DNA in different configurations. One of these proteins is Jade1, a component of the HBO histone acetyltransferase complex. Jade1 preferentially associates with Oct4 when bound to More palindromic Octamer-Related Element (MORE) DNA sequences that bind Oct4 dimers and are associated with strong gene expression. We show that the Oct4 N-terminus is critical for this interaction. ChIP-seq using HBO1, the enzymatic component of the complex, identifies a preference for binding adjacent to Oct4 at MORE sites. Using purified recombinant proteins and nucleosome complexes, we show that the HBO1 complex acetylates histone H3K9 within nucleosomes more efficiently when Oct4 is co-bound to a MORE site. Histone acetylation is further increased when Oct4 is mutated to favor dimeric MORE binding. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals that Oct4 bound to a MORE near the nucleosome entry/exit site partially unwinds DNA from nucleosome core particles, and identifies additional mass associated with the HBO1 complex. These results identify a novel mechanism of transcriptional regulation by Oct4.

Multifaceted SOX2-chromatin interaction underpins pluripotency progression in early embryos

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors (TFs), such as OCT4 and SOX2, play crucial roles in pluripotency regulation. However, the master TF-governed pluripotency regulatory circuitry was largely inferred from cultured cells. In this work, we investigated SOX2 binding from embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) to E7.5 in the mouse. In E3.5 inner cell mass (ICM), SOX2 regulates the ICM-trophectoderm program but is dispensable for opening global enhancers. Instead, SOX2 occupies preaccessible enhancers in part opened by early-stage expressing TFs TFAP2C and NR5A2. SOX2 then redistributes when cells adopt naive and formative pluripotency by opening enhancers or poising them for further rapid activation. Hence, multifaceted pioneer TF–enhancer interaction underpins pluripotency progression in embryos, including a state in E3.5 ICM that bridges totipotency and pluripotency.

Genome access is transcription factor specific and defined by nucleosome position [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mammalian gene expression is controlled by transcription factors (TFs) that engage sequence motifs in a chromatinized genome, where nucleosomes can restrict DNA access. Yet, how nucleosomes affect individual TFs remains unclear. Here, we measure the ability of over one hundred TF motifs to recruit TFs in a defined chromosomal locus in mouse embryonic stem cells. This identifies a set sufficient to enable binding of TFs with diverse tissue specificities, functions, and DNA binding domains. These chromatin-competent factors are further classified when challenged to engage motifs within a highly-phased nucleosome. The pluripotency factors OCT4- SOX2 preferentially engage non-nucleosomal and entry-exit motifs, but not nucleosome internal sites, a preference that also guides binding genome-wide. By contrast, factors such as BANP, REST, or CTCF, engage throughout causing nucleosomal displacement.This reveals that TFs vary widely in their sensitivity to nucleosomes and that genome access is TF-specific and influenced by nucleosome position in the cell.
