Functional partitioning of transcriptional regulators by patterned charge blocks

ABSTRACT: Components of the transcriptional machinery are dynamically compartmentalized by weak multivalent interactions, yet we know little about how specificity or selectivity of partitioning is achieved. Here we show that condensates composed of the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of MED1 (MED1_IDR) selectively partition positive regulators of transcription(SPT6, CTR9, IWS1) with RNA Pol II while excluding negative regulators of transcription (NELF and HP1a).This selective compartmentalization by MED1_IDR is sufficient to activate transcription and is required for gene activation during a cell state transition. Surprisingly, the IDRs of partitioned proteins are sufficient to recapitulate selective compartmentalization. We find that IDR-mediated selective partitioning requires multivalent blocks of positive and negative charge on MED1_IDR and IDRs of partitioned proteins. The charge patterns required for partitioning are also required for gene activation. These findings demonstrate that proteins can be functionally compartmentalized by specific multivalent interactions driven by the charge patterning within disordered regions.

Specific multivalent molecules boost CRISPR-mediated transcriptional activation via optimal cis-trans interaction and functional chromatin looping [ChIA-PET]

Project description:Synthetic transcriptional activators based on CRISPR/Cas technology can be enhanced by intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). However, the potential of all IDRs in this regard remains uncertain, and the mechanisms underlying their influence are a subject of debate. Here, we examined 12 well-known IDRs by fusing them to the dCas9-VP64 activator. Our findings reveal that seven IDRs could augment activation, albeit independently of their phase separation properties. Moreover, modular domains (MDs), which facilitate multivalent interactions but are ineffective in enhancing dCas9-VP64 activity on their own, showed substantial enhancement in transcriptional activation when combined with dCas9-VP64-IDR. By varying the number of gRNA binding sites and combining dCas9-VP64 with the IDRs and MDs of different multivalent capabilities, we uncovered that optimal, rather than maximal, cis-trans cooperativity enables the most robust activation. Finally, targeting promoter-enhancer pairs with our IDR-enhanced activation system yielded synergistic effects, potentially further amplifiable by induced functional chromatin looping.

An autoinhibitory switch of the LSD1 disordered region controls enhancer silencing

Project description:Transcriptional coregulators and transcription factors (TFs) contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) that are critical for their partitioning and function in gene regulation. Canonically, IDRs drive coregulator-TF association by directly promoting multivalent protein-protein interactions. Using a chemical genetic approach, we report an unexpected mechanism by which the IDR of the corepressor LSD1 excludes TF association, acting as a dynamic conformational switch that tunes repression of active cis-regulatory elements. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange shows that the LSD1 IDR interconverts between transient open and closed conformational states, the latter of which inhibits partitioning of the proteins structured domains with TF hubs. This autoinhibitory switch controls leukemic differentiation by modulating repression of active cis-regulatory elements bound by LSD1 and master hematopoietic TFs. Together, these studies unveil that the dynamic crosstalk between opposing structured and unstructured regions is an alternative paradigm by which disordered regions can shape coregulator-transcription factor interactions to control cis-regulatory landscapes and cell fate.

The male pachynema-specific protein MAPS drives phase separation in vitro and regulates sex body formation in vivo

Project description:Highly dynamic chromosome remodeling and extensive nuclear compartmentalization occur during mammalian meiotic prophase I. We report here that mouse spermatocytes lacking MAPS, the male pachynema-specific protein, exhibit multiple pachytene defects, including disordered chromatin accessibility, interrupted nucleosome composition, and globally altered transcription, accompanied by disturbed nucleus phase formation. Adult Maps−/− pachytene spermatocytes lack sex body formation and exhibit improper autosomal chromatin condensation, which can be attributed to the feature of MAPS to mediate phase separation through its unique intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), amino acids 2-9. MAPS protein with deletion of IDR failed to form a distinguishable phase in vitro and in cultured cells, and remarkably, MAPS IDR-deleted male mice suffer from pachytene arrest and sterility, with a typical absence of sex body and less condensed autosomal chromosomes, similar to Maps−/− mice. Thus, the nucleus phase separation mediated by MAPS may be essential for male pachynema progression in mice.

Evolutional heterochromatin condensation delineates chromocenter formation and retrotransposon constraint in plants

Project description:Heterochromatic condensates (chromocenters) are critical for maintaining the silencing of heterochromatin. However, it is a riddle why the presence of chromocenters is variable across species. Here, we reveal that variations in the plant heterochromatin protein ADCP1 confer a diversity in chromocenter formation via phase separation. ADCP1 physically interacts with the high mobility group protein HMGA to form a complex and mediates heterochromatin condensation by multivalent interactions. The loss of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in ADCP1 homologues during evolution has led to the absence of prominent chromocenter in various plant species, and introduction of IDR-containing ADCP1 with HMGA promotes heterochromatin condensation and retrotransposon silencing. Moreover, plants in the Cucurbitaceae group have evolved an IDR-containing chimera of ADCP1 and HMGA, which enables formation of chromocenters remarkably. Together, our work uncovers a coevolved mechanism of phase separation in packing heterochromatin and constraining retrotransposons.

TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing [CUT&RUN]

Project description:TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2. Consequently, TAF2 recruits SRRM2 to TFIID to form non-canonical TFIID-SRRM2 complexes. Reduced SRRM2 recruitment elicits alternative splicing events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Further, genome-wide binding analyses suggest TAF2 shuttling between nuclear speckles and pol II promoters. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Intrinsically disordered regions of transcription factor encode multiple functions using interwoven sequence grammars (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are abundant within eukaryotic proteins, but their sequence-function relationship remains poorly understood. IDRs of transcription factors (TFs) can direct promoter selection and recruit coactivators, as exemplified by the budding-yeast TF- Msn2. To examine how low-complexity IDRs encode multiple functions, we compared genomic binding preferences, gene induction, and coactivator recruitment amongst a large set of designed Mns2-IDR mutants. We show that multiple regions across the >500AA IDR contribute to both functions. Yet, transcription activity was readily disrupted by variants having no consequences on Msn2 binding. Our data attribute this differential sensitivity to the integration of relaxed, composition-based code directing binding preferences with a more stringent, motif-based code controlling the recruitment of coactivators and transcription activity. Interwoven sequence grammar may present a general paradigm through which low-complexity IDRs encode multiple functions.

Hierarchical antagonistic regulatory elements in the TRPV4 intrinsically disordered N-terminus modulate lipid binding and channel activity through transient long-range interactions

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are important for the functional regulation of membrane receptors. Among the TRP Vanilloid channels involved in thermo- and osmosensation, TRPV4 features the largest N-terminal IDR of ~150 residues. Here, we elucidate the structural ensemble of the TRPV4 IDR through an integrated structural biology approach. Novel structural and functional properties can be assigned to distinct IDR regions. Along the length of the entire IDR, a hierarchical interaction network of structurally and functionally coupled antagonistic regulatory modules can be mapped. Long-range transient crosstalk between these regulatory elements mediates channel responses to osmotic stimuli. Most notably, a highly conserved regulatory patch in the N-terminal IDR asserts dominant negative control over lipid binding and channel activity by acting on a sensitizing PIP2 binding site in the C-terminal IDR. This work demonstrates the importance of IDRs and “IDR cartography” for understanding TRP channel function and regulation.
