Surprising mechanisms and regulatory roles of yeast transcription factors [ChIP-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.

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).

Stability selection for regression-based models of transcription factor-DNA binding specificity

Project description:Motivation: The DNA binding specificity of a transcription factor (TF) is typically represented using a position weight matrix (PWM) model, which implicitly assumes that individual bases in a TF binding site contribute independently to the binding affinity, an assumption that does not always hold. For this reason, more complex models of binding specificity have been developed. However, these models have their own caveats: they typically have a large number of parameters, which makes them hard to learn and interpret. Results: We propose novel regression-based models of TF-DNA binding specificity, trained using high resolution in vitro data from custom protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments. Our PBMs are specifically designed to cover a large number of putative DNA binding sites for the TFs of interest (yeast TFs Cbf1 and Tye7, and human TFs c-Myc, Max, and Mad2) in their native genomic context. These high-throughput, quantitative data are well suited for training complex models that take into account not only independent contributions from individual bases, but also contributions from di- and trinucleotides at various positions within or near the binding sites. To ensure that our models remain interpretable, we use feature selection to identify a small number of sequence features that accurately predict TF-DNA binding specificity. To further illustrate the accuracy of our regression models, we show that even in the case of paralogous TF with highly similar PWMs, our new models can distinguish the specificities of individual factors. Thus, our work represents an important step towards better sequence-based models of individual TF-DNA binding specificity.

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.

Genome-wide binding profile of Smad3 and Smad7 in mouse Ch12 cell line (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Mammalian genome encodes approximately 1,700 transcription factors (TFs), 1,300 out of which have sequence specific binding motifs. Transcription in mammalian cells is regulated by the recruitment of TFs to specific cis-regulatory elements. In spite of consistent efforts on the function of individual TF, the question still remains how TFs bind to DNA and form enhancer. Here, we try to solve this problem by investigating the relationship between TF binding pattern and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-Seq). We first systematically acquired ATAC-Seq dataset as well as matched RNA-Seq dataset from different mouse primary tissues. A comprehensive TF binding map was built for each tissue/cell type by genomic approaches.
