Genome-wide distribution of proteins Pita, ZIPIC, Zw5 in Drosophila embryos

ABSTRACT: According to recent models, as yet poorly studied architectural proteins appear to be required for local regulation of enhancer–promoter interactions, as well as for global chromosome organization. Transcription factors ZIPIC, Pita, and Zw5 belong to the class of chromatin insulator proteins and preferentially bind to promoters near the TSS. They are structurally similar in containing the N-terminal zinc finger-associated domain (ZAD) and different numbers of C2H2-type zinc fingers at the C-terminus. We have shown that the ZAD domains of ZIPIC, Pita, and Zw5 usually form homodimers. In Drosophila transgenic lines, these proteins can support long-distance interaction between GAL4 activator and the reporter gene promoter. However, no functional interaction between binding sites for different proteins has been revealed, suggesting that such interactions are highly specific. ZIPIC facilitates long-distance stimulation of reporter gene by GAL4 activator in yeast. Thus, ZAD-containing zinc-finger proteins probably belong to the class of architectural proteins.

Genome-wide distribution of proteins ZAF1 and dCTCF in Drosophila embryos

Project description:Recently, the concept has arisen that a special class of architectural proteins exists, which are responsible not only for global chromosome architecture but also for the local regulation of enhancer–promoter interactions. Here, we describe a new architectural protein, with a total size of only 375 aa, which contains an N-terminal zinc finger-associated domain (ZAD) and a cluster of five C2H2 domains at the C-terminus. This new protein, named ZAD and Architectural Function 1 protein (ZAF1 protein), is weakly and ubiquitously expressed, with the highest expression levels observed in oocytes and embryos. The cluster of C2H2 domains recognizes a specific 15-bp consensus site, located predominantly in promotors, near transcription start sites. The expression of ZAF1 by a tissue-specific promoter led to the complete blocking of the eye enhancer when clusters of ZAF1 binding sites flanked the eye enhancer in transgenic lines, suggesting that the loop formed by the ZAF1 protein leads to insulation. The ZAF1 protein also supported long-range interactions between the yeast GAL4 activator and the white promoter in transgenic Drosophila lines. A mutant protein lacking the ZAD failed to block the eye enhancer or to support distance interactions in transgenic lines. Taken together, these results suggest that ZAF1 is a minimal architectural protein that can be used to create a convenient model for studying the mechanisms of distance interactions.

New Drosophila promoter-associated architectural protein Mzfp1 interacts with CP190 and is required for housekeeping gene expression and insulator activity [ChIP-seq]

Project description:In Drosophila, a group of zinc finger architectural proteins recruits the CP190 protein to the chromatin, an interaction that is essential for the functional activity of promoters and insulators. In this study, we describe a new architectural C2H2 protein called Madf and Zinc-Finger Protein 1 (Mzfp1) that interacts with CP190. Mzfp1 has an unusual structure that includes six C2H2 domains organized in a C-terminal cluster and two tandem MADF domains. Mzfp1 predominantly binds to housekeeping gene promoters located in both euchromatin and heterochromatin genome regions. In vivo mutagenesis studies showed that Mzfp1 is an essential protein, and both MADF domains and the CP190 interaction region are required for its functional activity. The C2H2 cluster is sufficient for the specific binding of Mzfp1 to regulatory elements, while the second MADF domain is required for Mzfp1 recruitment to heterochromatin. Mzfp1 binds to the proximal part of the Fub boundary that separates regulatory domains of the Ubx and abd-A genes in the Bithorax complex. Mzfp1 participates in Fub functions in cooperation with the architectural proteins Pita and Su(Hw). Thus, Mzfp1 is a new architectural C2H2 protein involved in the organization of active promoters and insulators in Drosophila.

Mechanism and functional role of the interaction between CP190 and the architectural protein Pita in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:The architectural protein Pita is critical for Drosophila embryogenesis and predominantly binds to gene promoters and insulators. In particular, Pita is involved in the organization of boundaries between regulatory domains, controlled by the expression of three hox genes in the Bithorax complex (BX-C). The best-characterized partner for Pita is the BTB/POZ-domain containing protein CP190. Here, we precisely mapped two unstructured regions of Pita that interact with the BTB domain of CP190. The deletion of the CP190-interacting regions did not significantly affect the binding of the mutant Pita protein to most chromatin sites. The expression of the mutant protein completely complemented the null pita mutation. However, the mutant Pita protein does not support the ability of multimerized Pita sites to prevent cross-talk between the iab-6 and iab-7 regulatory domains that activate the expression of Abdominal-B (Abd-B), one of the genes in the BX-C. The recruitment of the Pita region and the interaction with CP190 and the polytene chromosomes of larvae induces the formation of a new interband, which is a consequence of the formation of open chromatin in this region. These results suggested that the interaction with CP190 is required for the primary Pita activities, but other architectural proteins may also recruit CP190 in flies expressing only the mutant Pita protein.

Stable knockdown of PLAGL2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:Pleomorphic adenoma gene like-2 (PLAGL2), along with PLAG1 and PLAGL1, belong to PLAGL gene family of zinc-finger transcription factors, PLAG proteins are highly homologous, and with the structures of the seven C2H2 zinc finger domain on the N-terminal. PLAG proteins recognize similar GC rich consensus DNA-binding sequences, that these family members function as regulators of transcription target genes and pathways. PLAGL2 has been shown to have both oncogenic and tumor suppressor activities, PLAGL2 is mainly consided as a transcription factor, other functions which may contribute to its oncogenic potential are not clear. So it is meaningful to study the role of PLAGL2 in different diseases. To our knowledge, there is no report about the PLAGL2 in the development process of HCC.

Multiparameter functional diversity of human C2H2 zinc finger proteins [RNA-Seq]

Project description:C2H2 zinc finger proteins represent the largest and most enigmatic class of human transcription factors. Their C2H2 arrays are highly variable, indicating that most will have unique DNA binding motifs. However, most of the binding motifs have not been directly determined. We have determined the binding sites and motifs of 119 C2H2 zinc finger proteins and the expression pattern of 80 cell lines overexpressing C2H2 zinc finger proteins in order to study the role of C2H2 zinc finger proteins in gene regulation. We expressed GFP-tagged C2H2-ZF proteins in stable transgenic HEK293 cells. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol and sequencing libraries were constructed using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold or TruSeq RNA Library Preparation Kit v2.
