MSL2 cut and run profiles in S2 cell lines

ABSTRACT: MSL2, the DNA-binding subunit of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex, cooperates with the ubiquitous protein CLAMP to bind MSL recognition elements (MREs) on the X chromosome. We explore the nature of the cooperative binding to these GA-rich, composite sequence elements in reconstituted naïve embryonic chromatin. We found that the cooperativity requires physical interaction between both proteins. Remarkably, disruption of this interaction does not lead to indirect, nucleosome-mediated cooperativity as expected, but to competition. The protein interaction apparently not only increases the affinity for composite binding sites, but also locks both proteins in a defined dimeric state that prevents competition. High Affinity Sites of MSL2 on the X chromosome contain variable numbers of MREs. We find that the cooperation between MSL2/CLAMP is not influenced by MRE clustering or arrangement, but happens largely at the level of individual MREs. The sites where MSL2/CLAMP bind strongly in vitro locate to all chromosomes and show little overlap to an expanded set of X-chromosomal MSL2 in vivo binding sites generated by CUT&RUN. Apparently, the intrinsic MSL2/CLAMP cooperativity is limited to a small selection of potential sites in vivo. This restriction must be due to components missing in our reconstitution, such as roX2 lncRNA.

Factor cooperation for chromosome discrimination in Drosophila

Project description:Transcription regulators select their genomic binding sites from a large pool of similar, non‑functional sequences. Although general principles that allow such discrimination are known, the complexity of DNA elements often precludes a prediction of functional sites. The process of dosage compensation in Drosophila allows exploring the rules underlying binding site selectivity. The male-specific-lethal (MSL) Dosage Compensation Complex selectively binds to some 300 X-chromosomal ‘High Affinity Sites’ (HAS) containing GA‑rich ‘MSL recognition elements’ (MREs), but disregards thousands of other MRE sequences in the genome. The DNA‑binding subunit MSL2 alone identifies a subset of MREs, but fails to recognize most MREs within HAS. The ‘Chromatin-linked adaptor for MSL proteins’ (CLAMP) also interacts with many MREs genome‑wide and promotes DCC binding to HAS. Using genome‑wide DNA‑immunoprecipitation we describe extensive cooperativity between both factors, depending on the nature of the binding sites. These are explained by physical interaction between MSL2 and CLAMP. In vivo, both factors cooperate to compete with nucleosome formation at HAS. The male‑specific MSL2 thus synergises with a ubiquitous GA‑repeat binding protein for refined X/autosome discrimination.

Diverging principles of selective sex chromosome regulation during evolution of Drosophila

Project description:The dosage compensation complex (DCC) of Drosophila identifies its X chromosomal binding sites with exquisite selectivity. The principles that assure this vital targeting are known from the D. melanogaster model: DCC-intrinsic specificity of DNA binding, cooperativity with the CLAMP protein, and non-coding roX2 RNA transcribed from the X chromosome. We found that in D. virilis, a species separated from melanogaster by 40 million years of evolution, all principles are active, but contribute differently to X-specificity. In melanogaster, the DCC subunit MSL2 evolved intrinsic DNA-binding selectivity for rare PionX sites, which mark the X chromosome. In virilis, PionX sites are abundant and not X-enriched. Accordingly, MSL2 lacks specific recognition. Here, roX2 RNA plays a more instructive role, counteracting a non-productive interaction of CLAMP and modulating DCC binding selectivity. Remarkably, roX2 triggers a low-diffusion chromatin binding mode characteristic of DCC. Evidently, X-specific regulation is achieved by divergent evolution of similar components.

Transcription factor cooperation and competition

Project description:Transcription factors have to distinguish proper targets from a large pool of potential binding sites. Here we explore how MSL2 and CLAMP cooperate to bind their specific targets. Using an in vitro chromatin reconstitution system and by mutating the interaction domain of CLAMP we show how direct and indirect cooperation of TF binding influence binding specificity.

The interaction of MLE with CLAMP zinc finger domains is important for dosage compensation in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:The Drosophila male-specific lethal (MSL) complex binds to the male X chromosome to activate transcription, and consists of five proteins, MSL1, MSL2, MSL3, MOF, MLE, and two roX RNAs. The MLE helicase remodels the roX lncRNAs, enabling the lncRNA-mediated assembly of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex. MSL2 is expressed only in males and interacts with the N-terminal zinc-finger of the transcription factor CLAMP that is important for specific recruitment of the MSL complex on the male X chromosome. Here we found that the unstructured C-terminal region of MLE interacts with 6-7 zinc-finger domains of CLAMP. In vitro 4-5 zinc fingers are critical for specific DNA-binding of CLAMP with GA-repeats, which constitute the core motif at the high affinity binding sites for MSL proteins. Deletion of the Clamp Binding Domain (CBD) in MLE results in decreasing of MSL proteins association with male X chromosome and increasing of male lethality. These results suggest that interactions of unstructured regions in MSL2 and MLE with CLAMP zinc finger domains are important for the specific recruitment of the MSL complex on the male X chromosome.

Reconstitution of MSL2 binding in vtiro

Project description:Transcription factors distinguish functional response elements from a large excess of similar sequences in metazoan genomes. Faithful discrimination relies on DNA sequence and shape, but how shape is modulated by chromatin organisation is unclear. We explored binding site selection principles by blending unique biological and experimental systems. First, we assemble Drosophila genomes into physiological embryonic chromatin as a substrate for genome-wide binding assays. Secondly, we monitor binding site selection of a protein, MSL2, for which all functional elements reside on the X chromosome. We observe direct and nucleosome-mediated cooperativity between MSL2 and two other transcription factors and discover an extended DNA shape signature of functional elements that is read out in chromatin. Strikingly, the physiological binding profile is not achieved through intrinsic properties of MSL2 but is sculpted by an unrelated transcription factor, GAF, that occludes non-functional sites. Our results reveal novel aspects of target selection in a complex chromatin environment.

Combinatorial binding of transcription factors in the pluripotency control regions of the genome

Project description:The pluripotency control regions (PluCRs) are defined as genomic regions that are bound by Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog in vivo. We utilized a high-throughput binding assay to record more than 270,000 different DNA/protein binding measurements along incrementally tiled windows of DNA within these PluCRs. This high-resolution binding map is then used to systematically define the context of Oct factor binding and reveals patterns of cooperativity and competition in the pluripotency network. The most prominent pattern is a pervasive binding competition between Oct4 and the forkhead transcription factors. Like many transcription factors, Oct4 is co-expressed with a paralog, Oct1, that shares an apparently identical binding specificity. By analyzing thousands of binding measurements we discover context effects that discriminate Oct1 from Oct4 binding. Proximal Nanog binding promotes Oct4 binding, whereas nearby Sox2 binding favors Oct1. We demonstrate by cross-species comparison and by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) that the contextual sequence determinants learned in vitro are sufficient to predict Oct1 binding in vivo. An oligonucleotide pool that tiles through 316 PluCR regions ( a region of simulataneous in vivo Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog ChIP enrichement in human ES cells - Boyer et al. 2005) was incubated in embryonic stem cell extract. Complexes were allowed to form and oligonucletide:protein complexes were immunoprecipitated with one of four antidodies (against Oct4 , Sox2, Nanog, Oct1). The enrichment of oligonucleotides in co-precipitate was analyzed by two color (Cy3/Cy5) microarray strategy using an Agilent custom oligonucleotide array. MEGAshift (microarray evaluation of genomic aptamers by shift) binding assay protocol based on Tantin et. Al, 2008 and Reid et. Al, 2009. There are two internal technical replicates.

Cooperative Binding between distant Transcription Factors is a Hallmark of Active Enhancers

Project description:Enhancers harbor binding motifs that recruit transcription factors (TFs) for gene activation. While cooperative binding of TFs at enhancers is known to be critical for transcriptional activation of a handful of developmental enhancers, the extent TF cooperativity genome-wide is unknown. Here, we couple high-resolution nuclease footprinting with single-molecule methylation profiling to characterize TF cooperativity at active enhancers in the Drosophila genome. Enrichment of short MNase-protected DNA segments indicates that the majority of enhancers harbor two or more TF binding sites, and we uncover protected fragments that correspond to co-bound sites in thousands of enhancers. We integrate MNase-seq, methylation accessibility profiling, and CUT&RUN chromatin profiling as a comprehensive strategy to characterize co-binding of the Trithorax-like (TRL) DNA binding protein and multiple other TFs. We identify states where an enhancer is bound by no TF, by either single factor, by multiple factors, or where binding sites are occluded by nucleosomes. From the analysis of co-binding, we find that cooperativity dominates TF binding in vivo at a majority of active enhancers. Factor cooperativity occurs predominantly between sites spaced 50 bp apart in active enhancers, indicating that most TF cooperativity in cells occurs without apparent protein-protein interactions. Our findings suggest a mechanism for nucleosomes to promote cooperativity by requiring co-binding to effectively clear nucleosomes and promote enhancer function.
