Shotgun proteomics suggests involvement of additional enzymes in dioxin degradation by Sphingomonas wittichii RW1.

Chlorinated congeners of dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran are widely dispersed pollutants that can be treated using microorganisms, such as the Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 bacterium, able to transform some of them into non-toxic substances. The enzymes of the upper pathway for dibenzo-p-dioxin degradation in S. wittichii RW1 have been biochemically and genetically characterized, but its genome sequence indicated the existence of a tremendous potential for aromatic compound transformation, with 5 ...[more]

Project description:The Myc-Max heterodimer is a DNA binding protein that regulates expression of a large number of genes. Genome occupancy of Myc-Max is thought to be driven by E-boxes (CACGTG or variants) to which the heterodimer binds in vitro. By analyzing ChIP-Seq datasets, we demonstrated that the positions occupied by Myc-Max across the human genome correlate with the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription machinery better than with E-boxes. Metagene analyses showed that in promoter regions, Myc was uniformly positioned about 100 bp upstream of essentially all promoter proximal paused polymerases with Max about 10 bp upstream of Myc. We re-evaluated the DNA binding properties of full length Myc-Max proteins using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and protein-binding microarrays (PBM). EMSA results demonstrated Myc-Max heterodimers have high affinity for both E-box containing and non-specific DNA. Quantification of the relative affinities of Myc-Max for all possible 8- mers using PBM assays showed that sequences surrounding core 6-mers significantly affect binding. Comparing to the in vitro sequence preferences, Myc-Max genomic occupancy measured by ChIP-Seq was largely, although not completely, independent of sequence specificity. Our results suggest that the transcription machinery and associated promoter accessibility play an important role in genomic occupancy of Myc. Two protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments were performed: one for the heterodimer of the human transcription factors c-Myc and Max, and one for the Max-Max homodimer. Briefly, 4x44K arrays (Agilent Technologies; AmadID 015681) containing the M-bM-^@M-^Xall 10-merM-bM-^@M-^Y universal PBM design were used. Arrays were incubated with a PBS buffer based protein mixture of wither 10nM His-tagged Myc-Max heterodimer or 10nM His-tagged Max-Max homodimer, 2% milk, 200ng/M-BM-5L BSA, 50ng/M-BM-5L Salmon Testes DNA, and 0.02% TX-100. Bound protein was tagged with 10ng/M-BM-5L anti-His antibody conjugated to Alexa 488 (Qiagen; 35310) in PBS with 2% milk. Data were analyzed to obtain fluorescence intensities for all 8mers. The PBM protocol is described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006 (PMID 16998473).

Project description:Until now, it has been reasonably assumed that specific base-pair recognition is the only mechanism controlling the specificity of transcription factor (TF)M-bM-^HM-^RDNA binding. Contrary to this assumption, here we show that nonspecific DNA sequences possessing certain repeat symmetries, when present outside of specific TF binding sites (TFBSs), statistically control TFM-bM-^HM-^RDNA binding preferences. We used high-throughput proteinM-bM-^HM-^RDNA binding assays to measure the binding levels and free energies of binding for several human TFs to tens of thousands of short DNA sequences with varying re- peat symmetries. Based on statistical mechanics modeling, we iden- tify a new proteinM-bM-^HM-^RDNA binding mechanism induced by DNA se- quence symmetry in the absence of specific base-pair recognition, and experimentally demonstrate that this mechanism indeed gov- erns proteinM-bM-^HM-^RDNA binding preferences. Four custom protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments of human transcription factors were performed. Briefly, the PBMs involved binding his-tagged transcription factors c-Myc, Max, and Mad1(Mxd1) to double-stranded 180K Agilent microarrays in order to determine their binding specificity for GTCACGTGAC DNA binding sites flanked by repetitive DNA elements with different symmetries and correlation length scales. Briefly, we represent three categories of 36-bp sequences: 1) 28800 probes centered at a GTCACGTGAC site and flanked by repetitive elements (probe names starting with Ariel_); 2) Unbound probes (or negative controls); and 3) Bound probes, which correspond to randomly selected genomic regions bound in vivo by c-Myc, Max, or Mad2 (ChIP-seq P < 10^(-10) in HeLaS3 or K562 celld (ENCODE)), which contain at least two consecutive 8-mers with universal PBM E-score > 0.4 (Munteanu and Gordan, LNCS 2013). Each DNA sequence represented on the array is present in 6 replicate spots. We report the gcPBM signal intensity for each spot (raw files) as well as the median intensity over the 6 replicate spots (normalized data). The PBM protocol is described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006 (PMID 16998473).
