Project description:Chromatin compaction is crucial for the expression and the integrity of the genome. We previously showed that the nuclear HECT-type E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIP12 (Thyroid hormone Receptor Interacting Protein 12) is tightly associated to chromatin. Overexpressed in several types of cancers, we explored herein the consequences of TRIP12 overexpression on chromatin homeostasis. First, we established the proxisome of TRIP12 by BioID and unveiled its pleiotropic role in chromatin regulation. Second, we demonstrated that an overexpression of TRIP12, via its intrinsically disordered region, leads to the formation of chromatin condensates enriched in heterochromatin epigenetic marks. We further discovered that the formation of TRIP12 mediated-chromatin condensates is highly dynamic and driven by a mechanism of polymer-polymer phase separation (PPPS). Chromatin condensates formation is dependent not only on the concentration, the length of TRIP12-IDR but also electrostatic interactions. Chromatin compaction is a determinant parameter in several biological processes. Indeed, we measured that the formation of TRIP12 mediated-chromatin condensates alters cell cycle progression, genome accessibility, transcription as well as DNA damage response (DDR) by inhibiting the accumulation of Mediator DNA Damage Checkpoint (MDC1). Altogether, this study reveals a novel dynamic role for TRIP12 in chromatin compaction independently of its ubiquitin ligase activity with important consequences on cellular processes.

Project description:RNA granules are cellular condensates that contain RNAs and proteins. The mechanism that drive the recruitment of many mRNAs to RNA granules are not fully understood. Here we characterize the assembly and transcriptome of the germ (P) granules of C. elegans. We find that mRNAs are recruited into P granules by condensation with the intrinsically-disordered protein MEG-3. MEG-3 binds ~500 mRNAs in C. elegans embryos in a sequence-independent manner that favors mRNAs with low ribosome coverage. Translational stress causes additional mRNAs to localize to P granules and translational activation correlates with P granule exit for two mRNAs coding for germ cell fate regulators. MEG-3/RNA condensates assembled in vitro are gel-like and trap mRNAs in a non-dynamic state. Our observations reveal similarities between P granules and stress granules and identify gelation with intrinsically-disordered proteins as a sequence-independent mechanism to enrich low-translation mRNAs in RNA granules

Project description:Circadian gene transcription is fundamental to metabolic physiology. Here we report that the nuclear receptor REV-ERBalpha, a repressive component of the molecular clock, forms circadian condensates in the nuclei of mouse Liver. These condensates are dictated by an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) located in the protein’s hinge region which specifically concentrates nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCOR1) at the genome. IDR deletion diminishes the recruitment of NCOR1 and disrupts rhythmic gene transcription in vivo. REV-ERBalpha condensates are located at high-order transcriptional repressive hubs in the Liver genome that are highly correlated with circadian gene repression. Deletion of the IDR disrupts transcriptional repressive hubs and diminishes silencing of target genes by REV-ERBalpha. This work demonstrates physiological circadian protein condensates containing REV-ERBalpha whose IDR is required for hub formation and the control of rhythmic gene expression.

Project description:Transcription factors are among the most attractive therapeutic targets but are considered largely undruggable. Here we provide evidence that small molecule-mediated partitioning of the androgen receptor, an oncogenic transcription factor, into phase-separated condensates has therapeutic effect in prostate cancer. We show that the phase separation capacity of the androgen receptor is driven by aromatic residues and short unstable helices in its intrinsically disordered activation domain. Based on this knowledge, we developed tool compounds that covalently attach aromatic moieties to cysteines in the receptors’ activation domain. The compounds enhanced partitioning of the receptor into condensates, facilitated degradation of the receptor, inhibited androgen receptor-dependent transcriptional programs, and had antitumorigenic effect in mouse models of prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer. These results establish a generalizable framework to target the phase-separation capacity of intrinsically disordered regions in oncogenic transcription factors and other disease-associated proteins with therapeutic intent.

Project description:Transcription factors harbour defined intrinsically disordered regulatory regions, which raises the question of how they mediate binding to structured co-regulators and how this regulates activity. Here, we present a detailed molecular regulatory mechanism of Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) by the structured transcriptional co-regulator β-catenin. We find that the largely disordered FOXO4 C-terminal region, which contains its transactivation domain binds β-catenin through two defined interaction sites, and this is regulated by combined PKB/AKT- and CK1-mediated phosphorylation. Binding of β-catenin competes with the auto-inhibitory interaction of the FOXO4 disordered region with its DNA-binding forkhead domain, and thereby enhances FOXO4 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show that binding of the β-catenin inhibitor protein ICAT is compatible with FOXO4 binding to β-catenin, suggesting that ICAT acts as a molecular switch between anti-proliferative FOXO and pro-proliferative Wnt/TCF/LEF signalling. Together these data illustrate how the interplay of intrinsically disordered regions, post-translational modifications and co-factor binding contribute to transcription factor function. Highlights • The interaction network between FOXO4 and β-catenin was deciphered • FOXO4 auto-inhibition interferes with DNA binding and is counter-acted by β-catenin • FOXO4 exists in multiple conformations regulated by phosphorylation and co-factors • ICAT switches between FOXO4 and TCF/LEF transcription factors

Project description:Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are biologically active molecules which are involved in many cellular functions although they do not possess a defined three-dimensional structure. They are mostly signalling and regulatory proteins. This study is the first large-scale proteomic analysis of the nuclear IDPs. We experimentally showed that IDPs are overrepresented in the nucleus in comparison to the whole cell. The analysis in terms of molecular function indicated that nuclear intrinsically disordered proteome (IDP-ome) is enriched in proteins involved in transcription regulation and especially in transcription factors.
