The disordered extensions of the Arid5a core ARID domain modulate its DNA- and RNA-binding propensities

ABSTRACT: ARID (AT-rich interacting domain) proteins are a heterogeneous family of DNA-binding proteins involved in transcriptional regulation. No precise DNA-binding preferences have yet been defined for the aberrant member Arid5a. In addition, the protein binds to mRNA motifs for transcript stabilisation, presumably through the DNA-binding ARID domain. Here we first provide an unbiased definition of RNA motifs and a clear breakdown of nucleic acid binding by the ARID domain. An RNA Bind-n-Seq (RBNS) experiment was performed to find a consensus motif of the Arid5a domain. It reveals a preference for an unexpected CAGGCAG consensus motif, accompanied by a general preference for AU-rich motifs.

Project description:Recent genome-scale ChIP-chip studies of transcription factors have shown that a low percentage of experimentally determined binding sites contain the consensus motif for the immunoprecipitated factor. In most cases, differences between in vivo target sites that contain or lack a consensus motif have not been explored. We have previously shown that most sites to which E2F family members are bound in vivo do not contain E2F consensus motifs. The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how E2F binding specificity is achieved in vivo. In particular, we have addressed how E2F family members are recruited to core promoter regions that lack a consensus motif and are excluded from other regions that contain a consensus motif. Using promoter and ENCODE arrays, we have shown that the predominant factors specifying whether E2F is recruited to an in vivo binding site are a) the site must be in a core promoter and b) the promoter region must be utilized as a promoter by the transcriptional machinery in that particular cell type. We have tested three models for recruitment of E2F to core promoters lacking a consensus site, including a) indirect recruitment, b) looping to the core promoter mediated by an E2F bound to a distal consensus motif, and c) assisted binding of E2F to a site that weakly resembles an E2F consensus motif within the core promoter. To test these models, we developed a new in vivo assay, termed eChIP, which allows analysis of transcription factor binding to isolated promoter fragments. Our findings suggest that in vivo a) the presence of a consensus motif is not sufficient to recruit E2Fs, b) E2Fs can bind to isolated regions that lack a consensus motif, and c) binding can require regions other than the best match to the E2F PWM in the core promoter.
