Defining the mechanisms and properties of post-transcriptional regulatory disordered regions by high-throughput functional profiling

ABSTRACT: Disordered regions within RNA binding proteins are required to control mRNA decay and protein synthesis. To understand how these disordered regions modulate gene expression, we surveyed regulatory activity across the entire disordered proteome using a high-throughput functional assay. We identified hundreds of regulatory sequences within intrinsically disordered regions and demonstrate how these elements cooperate with core mRNA decay machinery to promote transcript turnover. Coupling high-throughput functional profiling with mutational scanning revealed diverse molecular features, ranging from defined motifs to overall sequence composition, underlying the regulatory effects of disordered peptides. Machine learning analysis implicated aromatic residues in particular contexts as critical determinants of repressor activity, consistent with their roles in forming protein-protein interactions with downstream effectors. Our results define the molecular principles and biochemical mechanisms that govern post-transcriptional gene regulation by disordered regions and exemplify the encoding of diverse yet specific functions in the absence of well-defined structure.

Multiple regulatory intrinsically disordered motifs control FOXO4 transcription factor binding and function

Project description:Transcription factors harbour defined intrinsically disordered regulatory regions, which raises the question of how they mediate binding to structured co-regulators and how this regulates activity. Here, we present a detailed molecular regulatory mechanism of Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) by the structured transcriptional co-regulator β-catenin. We find that the largely disordered FOXO4 C-terminal region, which contains its transactivation domain binds β-catenin through two defined interaction sites, and this is regulated by combined PKB/AKT- and CK1-mediated phosphorylation. Binding of β-catenin competes with the auto-inhibitory interaction of the FOXO4 disordered region with its DNA-binding forkhead domain, and thereby enhances FOXO4 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show that binding of the β-catenin inhibitor protein ICAT is compatible with FOXO4 binding to β-catenin, suggesting that ICAT acts as a molecular switch between anti-proliferative FOXO and pro-proliferative Wnt/TCF/LEF signalling. Together these data illustrate how the interplay of intrinsically disordered regions, post-translational modifications and co-factor binding contribute to transcription factor function. Highlights • The interaction network between FOXO4 and β-catenin was deciphered • FOXO4 auto-inhibition interferes with DNA binding and is counter-acted by β-catenin • FOXO4 exists in multiple conformations regulated by phosphorylation and co-factors • ICAT switches between FOXO4 and TCF/LEF transcription factors

An autoinhibitory switch of the LSD1 disordered region controls enhancer silencing

Project description:Transcriptional coregulators and transcription factors (TFs) contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) that are critical for their partitioning and function in gene regulation. Canonically, IDRs drive coregulator-TF association by directly promoting multivalent protein-protein interactions. Using a chemical genetic approach, we report an unexpected mechanism by which the IDR of the corepressor LSD1 excludes TF association, acting as a dynamic conformational switch that tunes repression of active cis-regulatory elements. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange shows that the LSD1 IDR interconverts between transient open and closed conformational states, the latter of which inhibits partitioning of the proteins structured domains with TF hubs. This autoinhibitory switch controls leukemic differentiation by modulating repression of active cis-regulatory elements bound by LSD1 and master hematopoietic TFs. Together, these studies unveil that the dynamic crosstalk between opposing structured and unstructured regions is an alternative paradigm by which disordered regions can shape coregulator-transcription factor interactions to control cis-regulatory landscapes and cell fate.

Genome-wide profiling and identification of disordered transcription factors through chemical precipitation mapping [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in DNA-associated proteins have recently been shown to play important roles in gene regulation. To better understand these domains we developed an antibody-independent assay to map disordered proteins genome-wide by combining b-isox mediated precipitation and next-generation sequencing (DisP-seq, disordered protein precipitation followed by DNA sequencing). We first analyzed Ewing sarcoma cells as a proof of principle given that the prion-like IDR of the oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1 has been shown to play a critical role in this cancer. We find that DisP-seq produces thousands of strong peaks associated with diverse chromatin states in Ewing sarcoma and other cell types tested. These locations are highly enriched for DNA binding motifs matching EWS-FLI1 and other transcription factors with prominent IDRs. Moreover, depletion of EWS-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells leads to a widespread reorganization of DisP-seq signals, including decreases at EWS-FLI1 binding sites and marked increases at sites associated with mesenchymal differentiation. Analysis of these new DisP-seq signals shows that they arise from redistribution of the transcription factor NFIB, which initially overlaps EWS-FLI1 and has an IDR that is required for proper localization and function. Our results thus show that antibody-independent precipitation mapping can enable genome-wide profiling and identification of disordered transcription factors to uncover their roles in complex gene regulation programs.

Proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of the nuclear intrinsically disordered proteome

Project description:Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are biologically active molecules which are involved in many cellular functions although they do not possess a defined three-dimensional structure. They are mostly signalling and regulatory proteins. This study is the first large-scale proteomic analysis of the nuclear IDPs. We experimentally showed that IDPs are overrepresented in the nucleus in comparison to the whole cell. The analysis in terms of molecular function indicated that nuclear intrinsically disordered proteome (IDP-ome) is enriched in proteins involved in transcription regulation and especially in transcription factors.

SAGES: Structural Analysis of Gene and Protein Expression Signatures Reveal Dynamic Expression of Disordered Proteins in Breast Cancer and Tissue

Project description:Structural features of proteins capture underlying information about protein evolution and function, which enhances the analysis of proteomic and transcriptomic data. Here we develop Structural Analysis of Gene and protein Expression Signatures (SAGES), a method that describes expression data using features calculated from sequence-based prediction methods and 3D structural models. We used SAGES, along with machine learning, to characterize tissues from healthy individuals and those with breast cancer. We identified prominent expression of intrinsically disordered regions in breast cancer proteins as well as relationships between drug perturbation signatures and breast cancer disease signatures. Our results suggest that SAGES is generally applicable to describe diverse biological phenomena including disease states and drug effects.
