Surprising mechanisms and regulatory roles of yeast transcription factors [ChEC-seq]

ABSTRACT: DNA sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) modulate transcription and chromatin architecture, acting from regulatory sites in enhancers and promoters of eukaryotic genes. How multiple TFs cooperate to regulate individual genes is still unclear. Most yeast TFs are thought to regulate transcription via binding to Upstream Activating Sequences, situated within a few hundred base pairs upstream of the regulated gene1. While this model has been validated for individual TFs and specific genes, it has not been tested in a systematic way. We integrated information on the binding and expression targets for the near-complete set of yeast TFs. Here we show that, contrary to expectations, there are few TFs with dedicated activator or repressor functions with most TFs having a dual role. While nearly all protein coding genes are regulated by one or more TFs, our analysis revealed limited overlap between TF binding and gene regulation. Rapid depletion of many TFs also revealed numerous regulatory targets distant from detectable TF binding sites, suggesting unexpected regulatory mechanisms. Our study provides a comprehensive survey of TF functions, offering insights into interactions between the set of TFs expressed in a single cell type and how they contribute to the complex program of gene regulation.

ChEC-seq kinetics discriminates transcription factor binding sites by DNA sequence and shape in vivo

Project description:Chromatin endogenous cleavage (ChEC) uses fusion of a protein of interest to micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to target calcium-dependent cleavage to specific genomic loci in vivo. Here we report the combination of ChEC with high-throughput sequencing (ChEC-seq) to map budding yeast transcription factor (TF) binding. Temporal analysis of ChEC-seq data reveals two classes of sites for TFs, one displaying rapid cleavage at sites with robust consensus motifs and the second showing slow cleavage at largely unique sites with low-scoring motifs. Sites with high-scoring motifs also display asymmetric cleavage, indicating that ChEC-seq provides information on the directionality of TF-DNA interactions. Strikingly, similar DNA shape patterns are observed regardless of motif strength, indicating that the kinetics of ChEC-seq discriminates DNA recognition through sequence and/or shape. We propose that time-resolved ChEC-seq detects both high-affinity interactions of TFs with consensus motifs and sites preferentially sampled by TFs during diffusion and sliding.

Genomic regions flanking E-box sites influence DNA binding specificity of bHLH transcription factors through DNA shape (validation)

Project description:DNA sequence is a major determinant of the binding specificity of transcription factors (TFs) for their genomic targets. However, eukaryotic cells often express, at the same time, TFs with highly similar DNA binding motifs but distinct in vivo targets. Currently, it is not well understood how TFs with seemingly identical DNA motifs achieve unique specificities in vivo. Here, we used custom protein binding microarrays to analyze TF specificity for putative binding sites in their genomic sequence context. Using yeast TFs Cbf1 and Tye7 as our case study, we found that binding sites of these bHLH TFs (i.e., E-boxes) are bound differently in vitro and in vivo, depending on their genomic context. Computational analyses suggest that nucleotides outside E-box binding sites contribute to specificity by influencing the 3D structure of DNA binding sites. Thus, local shape of target sites might play a widespread role in achieving regulatory specificity within TF families. Two protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments of Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factors were performed. Briefly, the PBMs involved binding GST-tagged yeast transcription factors Cbf1 and Tye7 to double-stranded 44K Agilent microarrays in order to determine the accuracy of our regression models for TF-DNA binding specificity. Briefly, this array contains 30-bp genomic sequences from our initial custom array (Gordan et al 2013, submitted), with 0 through 4 mutations designed at various positions in the genomic sequences. Each sequence in represented in 6 replicate spots. We report the PBM signal intensity for each spot. The PBM protocol is described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006 (PMID 16998473).

Unraveling determinants of transcription factor binding outside the core binding site

Project description:Binding of transcription factors (TFs) to regulatory sequences is a pivotal step in the control of gene expression. Despite many advances in the characterization of sequence motifs recognized by TFs, our ability to quantitatively predict TF binding to different regulatory sequences is still limited. Here, we present a novel experimental assay termed BunDLE-seq that provides quantitative measurements of TF binding to thousands of fully designed sequences of 200 bp in length within a single experiment. Applying this binding assay to two yeast TFs we demonstrate that sequences outside the core TF binding site profoundly affect TF binding. We show that TF-specific models based on the sequence or DNA shape of the regions flanking the core binding site are highly predictive of the measured differential TF binding. We further characterize the dependence of TF binding, accounting for measurements of single and co-occurring binding events, on the number and location of binding sites and on the TF concentration. Finally, by coupling our in vitro TF binding measurements, and another application of our method probing nucleosome formation, to in vivo expression measurements carried out with the same template sequences now serving and promoters, we offer insights into mechanisms that may determine the different expression outcomes observed. Our assay thus paves the way to a more comprehensive understanding of TF binding to regulatory sequences, and allows the characterization of TF binding determinants within and outside of core binding sites.

Two distinct promoter architectures centered on dynamic nucleosomes control ribosomal protein gene transcription

Project description:In yeast, ribosome production is controlled transcriptionally by tight coregulation of the 138 ribosomal protein genes (RPGs). RPG promoters display limited sequence homology, and the molecular basis for their coregulation remains largely unknown. Here we identify two prevalent RPG promoter types, both characterized by upstream binding of the general transcription factor (TF) Rap1 followed by the RPG-specific Fhl1/Ifh1 pair, with one type also binding the HMG-B protein Hmo1. We show that the regulatory properties of the two promoter types are remarkably similar, suggesting that they are determined to a large extent by Rap1 and the Fhl1/Ifh1 pair. Rapid depletion experiments allowed us to define a hierarchy of TF binding in which Rap1 acts as a pioneer factor required for binding of all other TFs. We also uncovered unexpected features underlying recruitment of Fhl1, whose forkhead DNA-binding domain is not required for binding at most promoters, and Hmo1, whose binding is supported by repeated motifs. Finally, we describe unusually micrococcal nuclease (MNase)-sensitive nucleosomes at all RPG promoters, located between the canonical +1 and M-bM-^@M-^S1 nucleosomes, which coincide with sites of Fhl1/Ifh1 and Hmo1 binding. We speculate that these M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^XfragileM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y nucleosomes play an important role in regulating RPG transcriptional output.

A comprehensive Schizosaccharomyces pombe atlas of physical transcription factor interactions with proteins and chromatin [ChIPseq]

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of gene expression, yet many of their targets and modes of action remain unknown. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, one-third of TFs are solely homology-predicted, with few experimentally validated. We created a comprehensive library of 89 endogenously tagged S. pombe TFs, mapping their protein and chromatin interactions using immunoprecipitation mass-spectrometry and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. Our study identified protein interactors for half the TFs, with over a quarter potentially forming stable complexes. We discovered DNA binding sites for most TFs across 2,027 unique genomic regions, revealing motifs for 38 TFs and uncovering a complex regulatory network of extensive TF cross- and autoregulation. Characterization of the largest TF family revealed conserved DNA sequence preferences but diverse binding patterns, and identified a repressive heterodimer, Ntu1/Ntu2, linked to perinuclear gene localization. Our TFexplorer webtool makes all data interactively accessible, offering new insights into TF interactions and regulatory mechanisms with broad biological relevance.
