Systematic identification of transcriptional activation domains from non-transcription factor proteins in plants and yeast

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors can promote gene expression through activation domains. Whole-genome screens have systematically mapped activation domains in transcription factors, but not in non-transcription factor proteins (e.g., chromatin regulators, coactivators). To fill this knowledge gap, we employed the activation domain predictor PADDLE to analyze the proteomes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We screened 18,000 predicted activation domains from >800 non-transcription factor genes in both species, confirming that 89% of candidate proteins contain active fragments. Our work enables the annotation of hundreds of nuclear proteins as putative coactivators, many of which have never been ascribed any function in plants. Analysis of peptide sequence compositions reveals how the distribution of key amino acids dictates activity. Finally, we validated short, 'universal' activation domains with comparable performance to state-of-the-art activation domains used for genome engineering. Our approach enables the genome-wide discovery and annotation of activation domains that can function across diverse eukaryotes.

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.

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

Project description: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.

Native Chromatin Proteomics Reveals a Role for Specific Nucleoporins in Heterochromatin Organization and Maintenance.

Project description:Spatially and functionally distinct domains of heterochromatin and euchromatin play important roles in the maintenance of chromosome stability and regulation of gene expression, but a comprehensive knowledge of their composition is lacking. Here, we develop a strategy for the isolation of native Schizosaccharomyces pombe heterochromatin and euchromatin fragments and analyze their composition by using quantitative mass spectrometry. The shared and euchromatin-specific proteomes contain proteins involved in DNA and chromatin metabolism and in transcription, respectively. The heterochromatin-specific proteome includes all proteins with known roles in heterochromatin formation and, in addition, is enriched for subsets of nucleoporins and inner nuclear membrane (INM) proteins, which associate with different chromatin domains. While the INM proteins are required for the integrity of the nucleolus, containing ribosomal DNA repeats, the nucleoporins are required for aggregation of heterochromatic foci and epigenetic inheritance. The results provide a comprehensive picture of heterochromatin-associated proteins and suggest a role for specific nucleoporins in heterochromatin function.

EDD: a program for detection of wide genomic enrichment domains robust against local variations [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Nuclear lamins contact the genome at the nuclear periphery through large domains and are involved in chromatin organization. Among broad peak calling algorithms available to date, none are suited for mapping lamin-genome interactions genome-wide. We disclose a novel algorithm, Enriched Domain Detector (EDD), for analysis of broad enrichment domains from ChIP-seq data. EDD enables discovery of genomic domains interacting with broadly distributed chromatin-associated proteins such as lamins. The main advantage of EDD over existing broad peak callers is sensitivity to domain width rather than enrichment strength at a particular site, and robustness against local variations. EDD is downloadable from http://github.com/eivindgl/edd. RNA-seq experiments in human normal dermal fibroblasts (Lonza CC-2511; LDFs) and human normal primary dermal fibroblasts (Norwegian Stem Cell Center AD04DFs).

Exploring the structural landscape of DNA maintenance proteins

Project description:Evolutionary annotation of genome maintenance (GM) proteins has conventionally been established by remote relationships within protein sequence databases. However, often no significant relationship can be established. Highly sensitive approaches to attain remote homologies based on iterative profile-to-profile methods have been developed. Still, these methods have not been systematically applied in evolutionary annotation of GM proteins. Here, by applying profile-to-profile models, we systematically survey the repertoire of GM proteins from bacteria to man. We identify multiple new GM protein candidates and annotate new domains in numerous established GM proteins, among other PARP, OB-fold, Macro, SAP, BRCT, KU, SANT, and nuclease domains. We experimentally validate OB-fold and MIS18/Yippee domains in SPIDR and in FAM72 protein families, respectively. Our results indicate that, surprisingly, despite the immense interest and long-term research efforts, the full repertoire of genome stability caretakers is still not fully appreciated.
