Project description:We report ChIP-Seq data for MED12 in human CD34+ cells. Med12 occupies promoter distal regions that regulate specific transcriptional programs required for the homeostasis of the hematopoietic system. 50 milion cells were used to perform ChIP from CD34+ cells with 10 ug of antibody

Project description:MED12 is an X-chromosome member of the Mediator complex that is a key regulator of tissue specific gene expression and moderates intracellular signaling via multiple developmental pathways. Sequence variations in the carboxy-terminus of MED12, which contains a PQL and Opa domain, are associated with X-linked mental retardation behavioral syndromes and schizophrenia. Unfortunately, the mechanism(s) through which MED12 sequence variation in the carboxy-terminus could alter vulnerability to neurodevelomental and neuropsychiatric illnesses is yet unclear. In order to elucidate a better understanding of this process, we examined the role of the MED12 carboxy-terminus in cell cycle and gene expression with full-length and domain deleted overexpression constructs and RNA interference in HEK293 cells. Our microarray data show a set of genes differentially expressed in the experimental conditions versus the GFP control. The top 50 most differentially expressed genes in the experimental conditions versus the GFP control also show that MED12 expression level differentially affects stress response and transcriptional regulation pathways. These results are consistent with prior studies showing that MED12 has a key role in determining neuronal cell fate and our theoretical understanding of the biological basis of psychosis. They also lend further insight upon the pathways through which MED12 exerts its effects upon differentiation and disease pathogenesis, which may one day lead to new approaches to the treatment of MED12-related disorders. 12 samples were analyzed, being comprised of four conditions with three biological replicates. Comparisons were made between the GFP control to experimental condition (i.e. GFP vs MED12 FL; GFP vs MED12 PQL/Opa; and GFP vs MED12 shRNA 5)

Project description:The Mediator kinase module regulates eukaryotic transcription by phosphorylating transcription-related targets and by modulating the association of Mediator and RNA Polymerase II. The activity of its catalytic core, cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8), is controlled by Cyclin C and MED12, with its deregulation contributing to numerous malignancies. Here, we combine in vitro biochemistry, crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry and in vivo studies to describe the binding location of the N-terminal segment of MED12 on the CDK8/Cyclin C complex and to gain mechanistic insights into the activation of CDK8 by MED12. Our data demonstrate that the N-terminal portion of MED12 wraps around CDK8, whereby it positions an "activation helix" close to the T-loop of CDK8 for its activation. Intriguingly, mutations in the activation helix that are frequently found in cancers do not diminish the affinity of MED12 for CDK8, yet likely alter the exact positioning of the activation helix. Furthermore, we find the transcriptome-wide gene expression changes in human cells that result from a mutation in the MED12 activation helix to correlate with deregulated genes in breast and colon cancer. Last, functional assays in presence of kinase inhibitors reveal that binding of MED12 remodels the active site of CDK8 and thereby precludes the inhibition of ternary CDK8 complexes by type-II kinase inhibitors. Taken together, our results not only allow us to propose a revised model of how CDK8 activity is regulated by MED12, but they also offer a path forward in developing small molecules that target CDK8 in its MED12-bound form.

Project description:Uterine leiomyoma (LM) is the most common tumor in women. Estrogen and progesterone, via their receptors ERα and PR, play essential roles in LM growth. Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) mutations occur in 70% of all LM and are thought to drive tumor growth in a steroid hormone-dependent manner; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we performed ChIP-seq (ERα, PR, and MED12) and RNA-seq on LM expressing mutant MED12 (mut-MED12) or wild-type MED12 and matched myometrium. Mut-MED12 altered PR and chromatin interaction landscapes, with significant PR-binding site loss in proximal promoter regions in mut-MED12 LM. Integration of cistrome and transcriptome data identified tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) as a PR and MED12 target gene, which was aberrantly upregulated in mut-MED12 LM. Kynurenine, the catabolic product of TDO2, was significantly elevated in mut-MED12 LM. Tryptophan or kynurenine treatment of primary LM cells activated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway, increased cell proliferation, and inhibited apoptosis; blocking the TDO2-kynurenine-AHR pathway by siRNA knockdown or pharmacologic inhibition abolished these effects. Mut-MED12 LM cells showed higher sensitivity to these treatments. These findings suggest that activation of the TDO2-kynurenine-AHR pathway in mut-MED12 LM induces tumor growth, and may inform the development of targeted treatments and precision medicine in LM.

Project description:Chemical cross-linking coupled to mass spectrometry was used to study binary and ternary complexes involving cyclin-dependent kinase 19 (CDK19), cyclin-C, and an N-terminal fragment of subunit 12 of the Mediator complex (MED12 1-100). Cross-linking was performed using disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). These results were generated in the context of the study published as Klatt et al., A precisely positioned MED12 activation helix stimulates CDK8 kinase activity, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2020 (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1917635117) with the associated data set PXD015394, but were not included in the article.

Project description:The coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase (CARM1) functions as a regulator for transcription, splicing and chromatin regulation by methylating a diverse array of substrates. In this study, we used CARM1 substrate antibodies to perform immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (IP-MS) in MEFs and identified Mediator Subunit 12 (MED12) as a novel substrate for CARM1. ChIP-seq analysis using CARM1, MED12 and H3R17me2a (represents ‘CARM1 activity’) antibodies revealed that MED12 targeted by CARM1 is recruited to the EREs (estrogen-responsive elements). Additionally, RT-PCR studies showed that the MED12R1899K mutation disrupting the methylation site reduced the expression of ER-target genes. Thus, MED12 methylation targets it to ER-specific enhancers and positively modulates transcription of Estrogen-driven genes.
