Activation domains and Coactivator direct genomic localization of fused DNA binding domains, defining the subset of activated promoters [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Activation domains (ADs) within transcription factors (TFs) induce gene expression by recruiting coactivators to specific regulatory regions. Within the prevailing model, TF-coactivator recruitment is independent of DNA binding, which is consistent with direct AD-coactivator interactions seen outside cells. However, this independence was not yet tested within the genomic context. Here, we targeted two Med15-interacting ADs to hundreds of budding yeast promoters through fusions with multiple DNA binding domains (DBDs), gradually controlling their abundances using libraries of synthetic promoters. Genomic profiling revealed that AD identity influences DNA binding locations and that transcription induction and Med15 recruitment are restricted to a subset of DBD-bound promoters displaying flexible expression, multiple-TFs binding, and fuzzy nucleosome architecture. Further, when fused to a DBD, Med15 redirected binding towards promoters of fuzzy nucleosomes, overcoming DBD-based preferences. Our results demonstrate that ADs and their recruited coactivators posses an inherent preference for genomic localization and, therefore, define the subset of induced promoters.

Revisiting the model for coactivator recruitment: Med15 can select its target sites independent of promoter-bound transcription factors

High Throughput Plant Activation Domain Identification and Mapping

Project description:Arabidopsis gene expression is regulated by more than 1,900 transcription factors (TFs), which have been identified genome-wide by the presence of well-conserved DNA binding domains. Activator TFs contain activation domains (ADs) that recruit coactivator complexes; however, for most Arabidopsis TFs, we lack knowledge about the presence, location, and transcriptional strength of their ADs. To address this gap, we experimentally identified Arabidopsis ADs on a proteome-wide scale, finding that over half of Arabidopsis TFs carry an AD. We annotated 1,553 ADs, the vast majority of which were previously unknown. We used the dataset generated to develop a neural network to accurately predict ADs and to identify sequence features necessary to recruit coactivator complexes. We uncovered six distinct sequence feature combinations that resulted in activation activity, providing a framework to interrogate activation domain sub-functionalization. Furthermore, we identified activation domains within the ancient AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors, finding conservation of AD positioning in distinct clades. Our findings provide a deep resource for understanding transcriptional activation, a framework for examination of function within intrinsically disordered regions, and a predictive model of activation domains.

Transcription factors activate genes through the phase separation capacity of their activation domains [RNA-seq]

Project description:Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors (TFs) that consist of DNA-binding domains (DBDs) and activation domains (ADs). The DBDs have been well- characterized, but little is known about the mechanisms by which ADs effect gene activation. Here we report that diverse ADs form phase-separated condensates with the Mediator coactivator. For the OCT4 and GCN4 TFs, we show that the ability to form phase-separated droplets with Mediator in vitro and the ability to activate genes in vivo are dependent on the same amino acid residues. For the estrogen receptor (ER), a ligand-dependent activator, we show that estrogen enhances phase separation with Mediator, again linking phase separation with gene activation. These results suggest that diverse TFs can interact with Mediator through the phase-separating capacity of their ADs and that formation of condensates with Mediator is involved in gene activation.

A Med15 - Hrp1 complex associates with fission yeast Mediator

Project description:The multiprotein Mediator complex is an important regulator of RNA polymerase II-dependent genes in eukaryotic cell. In contrast to the situation in many other eukaryotes, the conserved Med15 protein is not a stable component of Mediator isolated from fission yeast. We now demonstrate that Med15 exists in a protein complex together with Hrp1, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling protein. The Med15/Hrp1 subcomplex is not a component of the core Mediator complex, but can interact with the repressive L-Mediator conformation. Deletion of MED15 and HRP1 cause similar effects on global steady-state levels of mRNA, but only MED15 is required for galactose-dependent activation of the inv1 gene. Hrp1 has been found in complex with other proteins and genome-wide analysis demonstrates that Med15 only associates with a distinct subset of Hrp1-bound gene promoters. Global analysis reveals that Hrp1-binding normally is associated with increased histone H3 density, but at promoters also bound by Med15, histone H3 density is instead increased. Our findings reveal that Med15 functions as a separate entity in fission yeast and indicate that the function and organization of the Mediator complex may differ significantly between eukaryotes.

Knockout of the DNA binding domains in human-specific lncRNAs causes changed expression of target genes

Project description:To demonstrate proof of concept and validate the prediction of lncRNAs’ target genes, we performed three cases of genome editing to knock out the short sequences that contain the predicted DNA binding domains (DBD) of human-specific lncRNAs in three cancer cell lines. The knockout of a 157 bp sequence (containing the DBD of RP13-516M14.1) in the HeLa cell line, a 202 bp sequence (containing the DBD of RP11-426L16.8) in the RKO cell line, and a 198 bp sequence (containing the DBD of SNORA59B) in the SK-MES-1 cell line, all caused the significantly changed expression of target genes.

ChIP-seq of Mediator subunits in Mediator mutants and wild type yeast

Project description:Mediator subunits Med17 (Srb4) and Med15 (Gal11) were subjected to ChIP in wild type yeast, med18 (srb5), med20 (srb2), and med2 med3 med15 (triple mutant) yeast, all in kin28-anchor away yeast after 1 hr rapamycin treatment to evict Kin28 from the nucleus. This results in inactivation of Kin28, which reduces Mediator turnover at promoters and allows stronger Mediator ChIP signal at promoters. <br></br>Both Med17 and Med15 were tagged with myc and precipitated using the monoclonal antibody against c-myc. Please note that a specific control for rapamycin treatment was not performed in this experiment, as that has been well documented in the literature for this experiment, using what is called the anchor away method. The untagged sample is a control for non-specific immunoprecipitation.

Sequence properties of human acidic transcriptional activation domains

Project description:Acidic activation domains are intrinsically disordered regions of transcription factors that bind coactivators. The intrinsic disorder and low evolutionary conservation of activation domains have made it difficult to identify the sequence features controlling AD activity. To address this problem, we designed thousands of variants in seven acidic activation domains and measured their activities with a new high-throughput assay in human cell culture. We found that strong activation domain activity required a balance between the number of acidic residues and aromatic and leucine residues. These findings motivated a predictor of activation domains that scans the human proteome for clusters of aromatic and leucine residues embedded in regions of high acidity. This predictor identifies known activation domains and accurately predicts new ones. Our results support a flexible model of activation domains in which acidic residues solubilize hydrophobic motifs so that they can interact with coactivators.

Integration of genetic and epigenetic data pinpoints autoimmune specific remodelling of enhancer landscape in CD4+ T cells

Project description:CD4+ T cells play a crucial role in adaptive immune responses and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases (ADs). Despite numerous studies, the molecular mechanisms underlying T cell dysregulation in ADs remain incompletely understood. Here, we used transcriptomic and epigenomic data from CD4+ T cells of healthy donors and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and Graves' disease to investigate the role of enhancers in AD pathogenesis. By generating enhancer-based gene regulatory networks (eGRNs), we identified disease-specific dysregulated pathways and potential downstream target genes of enhancers harbouring AD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which we also validated using CRISPRi in primary CD4+ T cells. Our results suggest that alterations in the regulatory landscapes of CD4+ T cells, including enhancers, contribute to the development of ADs and provide a basis for developing new therapeutic approaches.

Corepressors (NCoR and SMRT) as well as Coactivators are Recruited to Positively Regulated 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Responsive Genes

Project description:Transcription factors require coactivators and corepressors to modulate transcription in mammalian cells. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) utilizes coactivators and corepressors to gain tight control over the activity of a diverse set of genes that can regulate calcium transport, slow proliferation and promote immune responses. We have recently established the VDR/RXR cistrome in human colon cancer cells and have linked these binding sites to the genes that are regulated by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). In additional studies described herein, we demonstrate that the coactivators SRC1, CBP and MED1 are recruited to upregulated genes to facilitate transcription as expected. SRC1 was the most highly correlated to VDR/RXR binding (50%). However, we also found that corepressor molecules such as NCoR and SMRT were present along with SRC1, CBP or MED1 at these 1,25(OH)2D3 activated gene enhancers. Interestingly, genome-wide NCoR binding mimicked VDR binding by increasing its association with VDR binding in response to 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Overall, these data indicate a complex role for corepressor and coactivator complexes in the activation or active repression of 1,25(OH)2D3 responsive genes. 5 coregulators are analyzed by ChIP-seq. The Input from GSE31939 was used as the normalizing factor for all transcription factor IPs. If lanes had more than 1 replicate, these lanes were combined for greater read depth.
