A pioneer factor locally opens compacted chromatin to enable targeted ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling

ABSTRACT: Summary: Pioneer transcription factors engage nucleosomal DNA in chromatin to initiate gene regulatory events that control cell fate 1 . To determine how different pioneer transcription factors initiate the formation of a locally accessible environment within silent, compacted chromatin and collaborate with an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler, we generated nucleosome arrays in vitro with a central nucleosome that can be targeted by the hematopoietic ETS factor PU.1 and bZIP factors C/EBPα, and C/EBPβ. Each class of factor can expose target nucleosomes on linker histone-compacted arrays, but with different hypersensitivity patterns, as discerned by long-read sequencing. The DNA binding domain of PU.1 is sufficient for mononucleosome binding but requires an additional intrinsically disordered domain to bind and open compacted chromatin. The canonical mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) complex, cBAF, was unable to act upon two forms of locally open chromatin, in the presence of linker histone, unless cBAF was enabled by the acidic- and glutamine-enriched transactivation domain of PU.1. However, cBAF complexes potentiate the nucleosome binding DBD of PU.1 to weakly open chromatin in the absence of the PU.1 unstructured domain. Together our findings provide a mechanism for how pioneer factors initially target chromatin structures to provide specificity for action by nucleosome remodelers that further open local domains.

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.

GATA3-mediated chromatin reprogramming in breast cancer cells

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors bind to silent chromatin, and initiate cell fate conversion. One potential pioneer factor, GATA3, is a critical component for multiple cellular programs. GATA3 is of particular interest as it regulates gene expression in breast cancers, and low expression correlates with poor prognosis. Here we demonstrate the pioneering activity of GATA3 utilizing a cellular reprogramming system (the mesenchymal-epithelial transition) in breast cancer cells. During the epithelial transition, GATA3 catalyzes chromatin reprogramming by inducing chromatin opening, active enhancer modifications, and nucleosome remodelling. We determined that the transactivation domain is required for this chromatin reprogramming. Importantly, a mutant lacking the transactivation domain possessed the chromatin binding ability but failed to create open chromatin, suggesting binding alone is not sufficient to induce open chromatin. These data illustrate a fundamental mechanism of GATA3-mediated gene regulation, and provide evidence for a pre-engagement state of closed chromatin bound by a pioneer factor.

Gene Network Transitions in Embryos Depend Upon Interactions between a Pioneer Transcription Factor and Core Histones [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Gene network transitions in embryos and fate-changing contexts involve combinations of transcription factors. A subset of fate-changing transcription factors act as pioneers; they scan and target nucleosomal DNA and initiate cooperative events that can open the local chromatin. But a gap has remained in understanding how molecular interactions with the nucleosome, beyond interactions with the DNA helix, contribute to the chromatin opening phenomenon. Here we identified a short alpha-helical region, conserved among FoxA pioneer factors and separated from the DNA binding domain, that interacts with core histones and is necessary for chromatin opening in vitro. The same domain is necessary for chromatin opening in early mouse embryos and for normal embryonic development and viability. Thus, local opening of chromatin by interactions between pioneer factors and core histones is crucial for genetic programming.

The pioneer factor SOX9 competes for epigenetic factors to switch stem cell fates [RNA-Seq]

Project description:When stem cells activate a member of the SOX family of pioneer factors, they bind their cognate sequences within condensed chromatin, not only evicting the associated nucleosome, but also recruiting H3K4-monomethylases, which modify flanking nucleosomes to open chromatin and activate one lineage program; simultaneously, pioneer factors also silence alternative fates, but in this case act indirectly, through competing for H3K4-monomethylases pre-existing at the original fate genes.

Redirecting the pioneering function of FOXA1 with covalent small molecules

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors (TFs) exhibit a special ability to bind to and open closed chromatin, facilitating engagement by other regulatory factors involved in gene activation or repression. Chemical probes are lacking for pioneer TFs, which has hindered their mechanistic investigation in cells. Here, we report electrophilic small molecules that stereoselectively and site-specifically bind the pioneer TF, FOXA1, at a cysteine (C258) within the forkhead DNA-binding domain. We show that these covalent ligands react with FOXA1 in a DNA-dependent manner and rapidly remodel its pioneer activity in prostate cancer cells reflected in redistribution of FOXA1 binding across the genome and directionally correlated changes in chromatin accessibility. Motif analysis supports a mechanism where the covalent ligands relax the canonical DNA binding preference of FOXA1 by strengthening interactions with suboptimal ancillary sequences in predicted proximity to C258. Our findings reveal a striking plasticity underpinning the pioneering function of FOXA1 that can be controlled by small molecules.

Pioneer transcription factor FoxA maintains an accessible nucleosome configuration at enhancers for tissue-specific gene activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Nuclear DNA is wrapped around core histones to form nucleosomes, which constrains how transcription factors bind to gene regulatory sequences. Pioneer transcription factors have the special ability to bind target DNA on nucleosomes and initiate gene regulatory events, often leading to a local opening of chromatin. Yet the nucleosomal configuration of such open chromatin and the basis for chromatin opening is unclear. Here we combine low and high levels of MNase digestion along with core histone ChIP-seq to assess the presence of nucleosomes at enhancers and promoters in mouse liver. We find that the pioneer factor FoxA displaces linker histone H1, thereby keeping enhancer nucleosomes accessible in chromatin and helping other transcription factors bind. MNase-accessible nucleosomes, bound by transcription factors, are retained substantially more at liver-specific enhancers than promoters and tissue-ubiquitous enhancers. Thus, nucleosomes are not exclusively repressive to gene regulation when they are retained with, and exposed by, pioneer factors.
