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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
