Project description:Genome-wide, little is understood about how proteins organize at inducible promoters before and after induction and to what extent inducible and constitutive architectures depend on cofactors. We report that sequence-specific transcription factors and their tethered cofactors (e.g., SAGA [Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase], Mediator, TUP, NuA4, SWI/SNF, and RPD3-L) are generally bound to promoters prior to induction ("poised"), rather than recruited upon induction, whereas induction recruits the preinitiation complex (PIC) to DNA. Through depletion and/or deletion experiments, we show that SAGA does not function at constitutive promoters, although a SAGA-independent Gcn5 acetylates +1 nucleosomes there. When inducible promoters are poised, SAGA catalyzes +1 nucleosome acetylation but not PIC assembly. When induced, SAGA catalyzes acetylation, deubiquitylation, and PIC assembly. Surprisingly, SAGA mediates induction by creating a PIC that allows TFIID (transcription factor II-D) to stably associate, rather than creating a completely TFIID-independent PIC, as generally thought. These findings suggest that inducible systems, where present, are integrated with constitutive systems.

Project description:Genome-wide, little is understood about how proteins organize at inducible promoters before and after in-duction, and to what extent inducible and constitutive architectures depend on cofactors. We report that se-quence-specific transcription factors and their tethered cofactors (e.g., SAGA, Mediator, TUP, NuA4, SWI/SNF, RPD3-L) are already bound to promoters prior to induction (“poised”), rather than recruited upon induction, whereas induction recruits the pre-initiation complex (PIC). Through depletion and/or deletion ex-periments we show that SAGA does not function at constitutive promoters, although a SAGA-independent Gcn5 does acetylate +1 nucleosomes there. At poised promoters, SAGA catalyzes +1 nucleosome acetylation but not PIC assembly. At induced promoters, SAGA catalyzes acetylation, deubiquitylation, and PIC assembly. Surprisingly, SAGA mediates induction by creating a PIC that allows TFIID to stably associate, rather than creating a TFIID-independent PIC, as is generally thought. These findings suggest that inducible systems, where present, evolved on top of constitutive systems.

Project description:An important distinction is frequently made between constitutively expressed housekeeping genes versus regulated genes. Although generally characterized by different DNA elements, chromatin architecture and cofactors, it is not known to what degree promoter classes strictly follow regulatability rules and which molecular mechanisms dictate such differences. We show that SAGA-dominated/TATA-box promoters are more responsive to changes in the amount of activator, even compared to TFIID/TATA-like promoters that depend on the same activator Hsf1. Regulatability is therefore an inherent property of promoter class. Further analyses show that SAGA/TATA-box promoters are more dynamic because TATA-binding protein recruitment through SAGA is susceptible to removal by Mot1. In addition, the nucleosome configuration upon activator depletion shifts on SAGA/TATA-box promoters and seems less amenable to preinitiation complex formation. The results explain the fundamental difference between housekeeping and regulatable genes, revealing an additional facet of combinatorial control: an activator can elicit a different response dependent on core promoter class.

Project description:p53 is a central regulator that turns on vast gene networks to maintain cellular integrity in the presence of various stimuli. p53 activates transcription initiation in part by aiding recruitment of TFIID to the promoter. However, the precise means by which p53 dynamically interacts with TFIID to facilitate assembly on target gene promoters remains elusive. To address this key issue, we have undertaken an integrated approach involving single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, and biochemistry. Our real-time single-molecule imaging data demonstrate that TFIID alone binds poorly to native p53 target promoters. p53 unlocks TFIID's ability to bind DNA by stabilizing TFIID contacts with both the core promoter and a region within p53's response element. Analysis of single-molecule dissociation kinetics reveals that TFIID interacts with promoters via transient and prolonged DNA binding modes that are each regulated by p53. Importantly, our structural work reveals that TFIID's conversion to a rearranged DNA binding conformation is enhanced in the presence of DNA and p53. Notably, TFIID's interaction with DNA induces p53 to rapidly dissociate, which likely leads to additional rounds of p53-mediated recruitment of other basal factors. Collectively, these findings indicate that p53 dynamically escorts and loads TFIID onto its target promoters.

Project description:TATA box-binding protein (TBP)-associated factors (TAFs), evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans, play a central role during transcription initiation. A subset of TAF proteins is shared in transcription factor II D (TFIID) and SAGA transcription regulatory complexes. Although higher eukaryotes contain multiple TAF variants that specify tissue- and developmental stage-specific organization of TFIID or SAGA complexes, in unicellular genomes, however, each TAF is encoded by a single gene. Surprisingly, we found that the genome of Candida albicans, the predominant human fungal pathogen, contains two paralogous TAF12 genes, CaTAF12L and CaTAF12, encoding H2B-like histone-fold domain-containing variants. Of the available fungal genome sequences, only seven other closely related diploid pathogenic Candida genomes encode the two TAF12 paralogs. Using affinity purifications from C. albicans cell extracts, we demonstrate that CaTAF12L uniquely associates with the SAGA complex and CaTAF12 associates with the TFIID complex. We further show that CaTAF12, but not CaTAF12L, is essential for C. albicans growth. Conditional depletion of the two TAF12 variant proteins caused distinct cellular and colony phenotypes. Together our results define a specialized organization of the TAF12 variants and non-redundant roles for the two TAF12 variants in the unicellular C. albicans genome.
