Novel mechanisms of MITF regulation identified in a mouse suppressor screen

ABSTRACT: MITF, a basic-Helix-Loop-Helix Zipper (bHLHZip) transcription factor, plays vital roles in melanocyte development and functions as an oncogene. We performed a genetic screen for suppressors of the Mitf-associated pigmentation phenotype in mice and identified an intragenic Mitf mutation that terminates MITF at the K316 SUMOylation site, leading to loss of the C-end intrinsically disordered region (IDR). The resulting protein is more nuclear but less stable than wild-type MITF and retains DNA-binding ability. Interestingly, as a dimer, it can translocate wild-type and mutant MITF partners into the nucleus, improving its own stability thus ensuring nuclear MITF supply. To further understand the effect of the suppressor mutation (MITF-sl), we performed CUT&RUN experiments to determine how MITF-sl affects the genome-wide occupancy of MITF. MITF-sl had a higher number of peaks than MITF-WT, with 10,636 peaks (p<0.01) exhibiting statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) between MITF-WT and MITF-sl. Gene ontology analysis indicates that the peaks significantly different between MITF-WT and MITF-sl are associated with genes involved in axonogenesis, axon development, cell growth, and positive regulation of MAPK cascade biological pathways. Our results suggest that the 316-419 domain is critical for selective genome occupancy and transcriptional activation of MITF.

Essential role of microphthalmia transcription factor for DNA replication, mitosis and genomic stability in melanoma

Project description:Malignant melanoma is an aggressive cancer known for its notorious resistance to most current therapies. The basic helix-loop-helix microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) is the master regulator determining the identity and properties of the melanocyte lineage, and is regarded as a lineage-specific ‘oncogene’ that has a critical role in the pathogenesis of melanoma. MITF promotes melanoma cell proliferation, whereas sustained supression of MITF expression leads to senescence. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequen- cing analyses, we show that MITF directly regulates a set of genes required for DNA replication, repair and mitosis. Our results reveal how loss of MITF regulates mitotic fidelity, and through defective replication and repair induces DNA damage, ultimately ending in cellular senescence. These findings reveal a lineage-specific control of DNA replication and mitosis by MITF, providing new avenues for therapeutic intervention in melanoma. The identification of MITF-binding sites and gene- regulatory networks establish a framework for under- standing oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix factors such as N-myc or TFE3 in other cancers. 4 samples corresponding to genomic occupancy profiling of MITF (Cl8), PolII (501Mel), H3K4me3 501Mel). Anti-HA ChIP-seq on untagged cell line (501Mel) was used as a control.

Local Genomic Features Predict the Distinct and Overlapping Binding Patterns of the bHLH‐Zip Family Oncoproteins MITF and MYC‐MAX

Project description:MITF and MYC are well‐known oncoproteins and members of the basic helix‐loop‐helix leucine zipper (bHLH‐Zip) family of transcription factors (TFs) recognizing hexamer E‐box motifs. MITF and MYC not only share the core binding motif, but are also the two most highly expressed bHLH‐Zip transcription factors in melanocytes, raising the possibility that they may compete for the same binding sites in select oncogenic targets. Mechanisms determining the distinct and potentially overlapping binding modes of these critical oncoproteins remain uncharacterized. We introduce computational predictive models using local sequence features, including a boosted convolutional decision tree framework, to distinguish MITF vs. MYC‐MAX binding sites with up to 80% accuracy genome wide. Select E‐box locations that can be bound by both MITF and MYC‐MAX form a separate class of MITF binding sites characterized by differential sequence content in the flanking region, diminished interaction with SOX10, higher evolutionary conservation, and less tissue‐specific chromatin organization.

Axonogenesis is coordinated by alternative splicing programming and splicing regulator PTBP2

Project description:How a neuron acquires an axon is a fundamental question. Piecemeal identification of many axonogenesis-related genes has been done, but coordinated regulation is unknown. Through unbiased transcriptome profiling of immature primary cortical neurons during early axon formation, we discovered an association between axonogenesis and neuron-specific alternative splicing. Known axonogenesis genes exhibit little expression alternation but widespread splicing changes. Axonogenesis-associated splicing is governed by RNA binding protein PTBP2, which is enriched in neurons and peaks around axonogenesis in the brain. Cortical depletion of PTBP2 prematurely induces axonogenesis-associated splicing, causes imbalanced expression of axonogenesis-associated isoforms, and specifically affects axon formation in vitro and in vivo. PTBP2-controlled axongeneisis-associated Shtn1 splicing determines SHTN1’s capacity to regulate actin interaction, polymerization, and axon growth. Precocious Shtn1 isoform switch contributes to disorganized axon formation of Ptbp2-/- neurons. We conclude that PTBP2-orchestrated alternative splicing programming is required for robust generation of a single axon in mammals.

BRG1 recruitment by transcription factors MITF and SOX10 defines a specific configuration of regulatory elements in the melanocyte lineage (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is the master regulator of the melanocyte lineage. By tandem affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we present a comprehensive characterisation of the MITF interactome comprising multiple novel cofactors involved in transcription, DNA replication and repair and chromatin organisation, including a BRG1 chromatin remodelling complex comprising CHD7. BRG1 is essential for melanoma cell proliferation in vitro and for normal melanocyte development in vivo. MITF and SOX10 actively recruit BRG1 to a set of MITF-associated regulatory elements (MAREs) at active enhancers. MITF, SOX10 and YY1 bind between two BRG1-occupied nucleosomes thus defining both a combinatorial signature of transcription factors essential for the melanocyte lineage and a specific chromatin organisation of MAREs. Nevertheless, BRG1 silencing enhances MITF occupancy at MAREs showing that BRG1 acts to promote dynamic MITF interactions with chromatin. 8 samples corresponding to genomic occupancy profiling of MITF, SOX10, BRG1 after si-control, BRG1 after si-MITF and BRG1 after siSOX10; and their respective controls (MITF Input, SOX10 Input, GFP-siCTRL ChIPseq) in 501Mel cells.

ATM signaling delays skin pigmentation upon UV exposure by mediating MITF function towards DNA repair mode

Project description:Skin pigmentation is paused following sun exposure, however the mechanism behind this pausing is unknown. Here we found that the UVB-induced DNA repair system, led by the ATM protein kinase, represses MITF transcriptional activity of pigmentation genes while placing MITF in DNA repair mode, thus directly inhibiting pigment production. Phosphoproteomics analysis revealed ATM to be the most significantly enriched pathway among all UVB-induced DNA repair systems. ATM inhibition in mouse or human skin, either genetically or chemically, induces pigmentation. Upon UVB, MITF transcriptional activation is blocked due to ATM dependent phosphorylation of MITF on S414, which modifies MITF activity and interactome towards DNA repair including binding to TRIM28 and RBBP4. Accordingly, MITF genome-occupancy is enriched in sites of high DNA damage that are likely repaired. This suggests that ATM harnesses the pigmentation key activator, for the necessary rapid, efficient DNA repair, thus optimizing the chances of the cell to survive.

Utilization of Stability-based Proteomics for the Investigation of Structured RNA-protein Interactions

Project description:The stability of proteins from rates of oxidation (SPROX), thermal protein profiling (TPP) methods as well as triple helix pulldowns with LC-MS/MS readouts are used to identify the protein targets of three RNA ligands, the MALAT1 triple helix (TH), a viral stem loop (SL), and an unstructured RNA (PolyU) in LNCaP nuclear lysate. This work establishes a novel platform for the global discovery and interrogation of RNA-protein interactions that is generalizable to numerous biological contexts and RNA targets.
