Transcription factor genomic occupancy is determined by multiple, overlapping DNA binding sites

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by interacting with DNA in a sequence-specific manner. High-throughput in vitro technologies, such as PBMs and HT-SELEX, have revealed the DNA binding specificities of hundreds of TFs. However, they have limited ability to reliably identify lower affinity binding sites, which are increasingly recognized as important for precise spatial and temporal control of gene expression. To address this limitation, we developed a novel technology to measure protein affinity to DNA by in vitro transcription and RNA sequencing (PADIT-seq). Using PADIT-seq, we comprehensively assayed the binding preferences of four human and two yeast TFs to all possible 10-bp DNA sequences, detecting hundreds of novel lower affinity binding sites. The expanded repertoire of lower affinity binding sites unexpectedly revealed that nucleotides flanking high affinity DNA binding sites create overlapping lower affinity sites that together modulate TF genomic occupancy in vivo. We propose a model where TF binding is not determined by individual binding sites, but rather by the sum of multiple, overlapping binding sites. Formation of such extended recognition sequences stems from an inherent property of TF binding sites to interweave each other. Consequently, competition between paralogous TFs for shared high-affinity binding sites is controlled by flanking nucleotides that create differential numbers of overlapping lower affinity binding sites. Noncoding variants alter multiple, overlapping binding sites to influence gene expression and human traits, including diseases.

Comprehensive, high-resolution binding energy landscapes reveal context dependencies of transcription factor binding

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) are primary regulators of gene expression in cells, where they bind specific genomic target sites to control transcription. Quantitative measurements of TF-DNA binding energies can improve the accuracy of predictions of TF occupancy and downstream gene expression in vivo and shed light on how transcriptional networks are rewired throughout evolution. Here, we present a novel sequencing-based TF binding assay and analysis pipeline (BET-seq, for Binding Energy Topography by sequencing) capable of providing quantitative estimates of binding energies for more than one million DNA sequences in parallel at high energetic resolution. Using this platform, we measured the binding energies associated with all possible combinations of 10 nucleotides flanking the known consensus DNA target for two model yeast TFs, Pho4 and Cbf1. A large fraction of these flanking mutations change overall binding energies by an amount equal to or greater than consensus site mutations, suggesting that current definitions of TF binding sites may be too restrictive. By systematically comparing estimates of binding energies output by deep neural networks (NN) and biophysical models trained on these data, we establish that dinucleotide specificities are sufficient to explain essentially all variance in observed binding behavior, with Cbf1 binding exhibiting significantly more non-additivity than Pho4. NN-derived binding energies agree with orthogonal biochemical measurements and reveal that dynamically occupied sites in vivo are both energetically and mutationally distant from the highest-affinity sites.

P. falciparum-specific Genomic Context Protein-Binding Microarray

Project description:Development of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum is regulated by a limited number of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). However, the mechanisms by which these TFs recognize genome-wide binding sites to regulate target genes is still largely unknown. To address TF target specificity, we investigated the binding of two TF subsets that either bind CACACA or GTGCAC and further characterized PfAP2-G and PfAP2-EXP which bind unique DNA motifs (GTAC and TGCATGCA). We interrogated the impact of DNA sequence context and the chromatin landscape on P. falciparum TF binding using high-throughput in vitro and in vivo binding assays, DNA shape predictions, epigenetic post-translational modifications, and chromatin accessibility. We determined that DNA sequence context does not greatly impact binding site selection for CACACA-binding TFs, while chromatin accessibility, epigenetic patterns, co-factor recruitment, and dimerization contribute to differential binding. In contrast, GTGCAC-binding TFs prefer different sequence contexts, DNA shape profiles, and chromatin dynamics. Finally, we find that TFs that preferentially bind divergent DNA motifs may bind overlapping genomic regions in vivo due to low-affinity binding to other sequence motifs. Our results demonstrate that TF binding site selection relies on a combination of DNA sequence and chromatin features, thereby contributing to the complexity of P. falciparum gene regulatory mechanisms.

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/ non-specific DNA binding affinity. How these properties affect the ability of TFs to occupy their specific binding sites in the genome and modify the epigenetic landscape is unclear. Here we combined live cell quantitative measurements of mitotic chromosome binding (MCB) of 502 TFs, measurements of TF mobility by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, single molecule imaging of DNA binding in live cells, and genome-wide mapping of TF binding and chromatin accessibility. MCB scaled with interphase properties such as association with DNA-rich compartments, mobility, as well as large differences in genome-wide specific site occupancy that correlated with TF impact on chromatin accessibility. As MCB is largely mediated by electrostatic, non-specific TF-DNA interactions, our data suggests that non-specific DNA binding of TFs enhances their search for specific sites and thereby their impact on the accessible chromatin landscape.

Transcription factor binding in human cells occurs in dense clusters formed around cohesin anchor sites [Validation Set]

Project description:During cell division, transcription factors (TFs) are removed from chromatin twice, during DNA synthesis, and during condensation of chromosomes. How TFs can efficiently find their sites following these stages has been unclear. Here, we have analyzed the binding pattern of expressed TFs in human colorectal cancer cells. We find that binding of TFs is highly clustered, and that the clusters are enriched in binding motifs for several major TF classes. Strikingly, almost all clusters are formed around cohesin, and loss of cohesin decreases both DNA accessibility and binding of TFs to clusters. We show that cohesin remains bound in S phase, holding the nascent sister chromatids together at the TF cluster sites. Furthermore, cohesin remains bound to the cluster sites when TFs are evicted in early M-phase. These results suggest that cohesin binding functions as a cellular memory that promotes re- stablishment of TF clusters after DNA replication and chromatin condensation.

DNA mismatches reveal conformational penalties in protein-DNA recognition III

Project description:Transcription factors (TF) recognize specific genomic sequences to regulate complex gene expression programs. Although it is well established that TFs bind specific DNA sequences using a combination of base readout and shape recognition, some fundamental aspects of protein-DNA binding remain poorly understood. Many DNA-binding proteins induce changes in the DNA structure outside the intrinsic B-DNA envelope. However, how the energetic cost associated with distorting DNA contributes to recognition has proven difficult to study because the distorted DNA exists in low-abundance in the unbound ensemble. Here, we use a novel high-throughput assay called SaMBA (Saturation Mismatch-Binding Assay) to investigate the role of DNA conformational penalties in TF-DNA recognition. In SaMBA, mismatches are introduced to pre-induce DNA structural distortions much larger than those induced by changes in Watson-Crick sequence. Strikingly, approximately 10% of mismatches increased TF binding, and at least one mismatch was found that increased the binding affinity for each of 22 examined TFs. Mismatches also converted non-specific sites into high-affinity sites, and high-affinity sites into super-sites stronger than any known canonical binding site. Determination of high-resolution X-ray structures, combined with NMR measurements and structural analyses revealed that many of the mismatches that increase binding induce distortions similar to those induced by protein binding, thus pre-paying some of the energetic cost to deform the DNA. Our work indicates that conformational penalties are a major determinant of protein-DNA recognition, and reveals mechanisms by which mismatches can recruit TFs and thus modulate replication and repair activities in the cell.
