Reduction of ZFX levels decreases histone H4 acetylation and increases Pol2 pausing at target promoters [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The ZFX transcriptional activator binds to CpG island promoters, with a major peak at ~200-250bp downstream from transcription start sites. Because ZFX binds within the transcribed region, we investigated whether it regulates transcriptional elongation. We used GRO-seq to show that loss or reduction of ZFX increased the pause ratio at ZFX-regulated promoters. To further investigate the mechanisms by which ZFX regulates transcription, we determined regions of the protein needed for transactivation and for recruitment to the chromatin. Interestingly, although ZFX has 13 grouped zinc fingers, deletion of the first 11 fingers produces a protein that can still bind to chromatin and activate transcription. We next used TurboID-MS to detect ZFX-interacting proteins, identifying ZNF593, proteins that interact with the N-terminal transactivation domain (e.g. histone modifying proteins), and proteins that interact with ZFX when it is bound to the chromatin (e.g. TAFs and other histone modifying proteins). Our studies support a model in which ZFX enhances elongation at target promoters by recruiting H4 acetylation complexes and reducing pausing.

Characterization of the ZFX family of transcription factors that bind downstream of the start site of CpG island promoters

Project description:Our study focuses on a family of ubiquitously expressed human C2H2 zinc finger proteins comprised of ZFX, ZFY, and ZNF711. Although their protein structure suggests that ZFX, ZFY, and ZNF711 are transcriptional regulators, the mechanisms by which they influence transcription have not yet been elucidated. We used CRISPR-mediated deletion to create bi-allelic knockouts of ZFX and/or ZNF711 in female HEK293T cells (which naturally lack ZFY). We found that loss of either ZFX or ZNF711 reduced cell growth and that the double knockout cells have major defects in proliferation. RNA-seq analysis revealed that thousands of genes showed altered expression in the double knockout clones, suggesting that these TFs are critical regulators of the transcriptome. To gain insight into how these TFs regulate transcription, we created mutant ZFX proteins and analyzed them for DNA binding and transactivation capability. We found that zinc fingers 11-13 are necessary and sufficient for DNA binding and, in combination with the N terminal region, constitute a functional transactivator. Our functional analyses of the ZFX family provides important new insights into transcriptional regulation in human cells by members of the large, but under-studied family of C2H2 zinc finger proteins.

Gene target specificity of the Super Elongation Complex (SEC) family: How HIV-1 Tat employs selected SEC members to activate viral transcription

Project description:The AF4/FMR2 proteins AFF1 and AFF4 act as a scaffold to assemble the Super Elongation Complex (SEC) that strongly activates transcriptional elongation of HIV-1 and cellular genes. Although they can dimerize, it is unclear whether the dimers exist and function within a SEC in vivo. Furthermore, it is unknown whether AFF1 and AFF4 function similarly in mediating SEC-dependent activation of diverse genes. Providing answers to these questions, our current study shows that AFF1 and AFF4 reside in separate SECs that display largely distinct gene target specificities. While the AFF1-SEC is more potent in supporting HIV-1 transactivation by the viral Tat protein, the AFF4-SEC is more important for HSP70 induction upon heat shock. The functional difference between AFF1 and AFF4 in Tat-transactivation has been traced to a single amino acid variation between the two proteins, which causes them to enhance the affinity of Tat for P-TEFb, a key SEC component, with different efficiency. Finally, genome-wide analysis confirms that the genes regulated by AFF1- and AFF4-SEC are largely non-overlapping and perform distinct functions. Thus, the SEC represents a family of related complexes that exist to increase the regulatory diversity and gene control options during transactivation of diverse cellular and viral genes.

Role of Cofilin 1 pathway and actin dynamics in nuclear retinoid receptor function

Project description:We have investigated the role of actin dynamics and the effect of actin cytoskeleton modifying agents on retinoid receptor-mediated transactivation. Using Nef, an actin modifying HIV-1 protein, the role of LMK1/CFL1-mediated actin dynamics in receptor function was studied. The effect of Nef expression on transcriptome was investigated following transfection of HEK293 cells with Nef-expressing plasmid. The array data identified Nef-induced inhibition of a number of genes that contain retinoid receptor binding sites in their promoters. The experiment was designed to study the effect of expression of HIV-1 Nef protein on gene expression levels in HEK293 cells. Cells were transfected in three different experiments (each time in duplicate) with Nef expressing plasmid and a plasmid that contained a non-expressing Nef construct (Nef/Stop) as control. The cells were harvested after 36 of transfection and processed for gene array.

Jade1 ChIP-chip on ENCODE Tiling array

Project description:Several MYST-family histone acetyltransferase (HAT) enzymes associate with specific ING tumor suppressor proteins. ING complexes containing the HBO1 HAT protein are the major source of histone H4 acetylation in vivo and have been shown to play critical roles in gene regulation and DNA replication. Here, we present a molecular dissection of HBO1/ING HAT complexes that unravels the protein domains required for complex assembly and function. A distinctive characteristic of ING HAT complexes is the presence of multiple PHD finger domains in different subunits. Biochemical and functional analysis of these domains indicate that they interact with histone H3 N-terminal tail region but with different specificity towards the methylation status of lysine 4. They play essential and intricate role in regulating binding to chromatin and substrate specificity. This is achieved in part through expression of subunit isoforms controlling which PHD fingers are present in the complex. Importantly, localization analysis on the human genome indicate that HBO1 complexes are enriched throughout the coding region of genes, supporting a role in transcription elongation. These results also underline the importance and versatility of PHD finger domains in regulating chromatin association and trans-histone acetylation specificity within a single protein complex.

Sub1 and RPA associate with RNA Polymerase II at different stages of transcription

Project description:Single stranded DNA binding proteins play many roles in nucleic acid metabolism, but their importance during transcription remains unclear. Quantitative proteomic analysis of RNA polymerase II (RNApII) pre-initiation complexes (PICs) identified Sub1 and the Replication Protein A complex (RPA), both of which bind single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Sub1, homolog of mammalian coactivator PC4, exhibits strong genetic interactions with factors necessary for promoter melting. Sub1 localizes near the transcription bubble in vitro and binds to promoters in vivo dependent upon PIC assembly. In contrast, RPA localizes to transcribed regions of active genes, strongly correlated with transcribing RNApII but independently of replication. RFA1 interacts genetically with transcription elongation factor genes. Interestingly, RPA levels increase at active promoters in cells carrying a Sub1 deletion or ssDNA binding mutant, suggesting competition for a common binding site. We propose that Sub1 and RPA interact with the non-template strand of RNApII complexes during initiation and elongation, respectively. Chip-chip from wt and sub1D cells with Rfa1 Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of Rfa1 in wt and sub1D yeast demonstrated that Rfa1 localization correlates with RNA Polymerase II and is increased at some transcription start sites when Sub1 has been deleted. Comparison of Rfa1 localization in wt vs sub1D yeast
