Project description:Transcription factors bind to sequence motifs and act as activators or repressors. Transcription factors interface with a constellation of accessory cofactors to regulate distinct mechanistic steps to regulate transcription. We rapidly degraded the essential and ubiquitously expressed transcription factor ZNF143 to determine its function in the transcription cycle. ZNF143 facilitates RNA Polymerase initiation and activates gene expression. ZNF143 binds the promoter of nearly all its activated target genes. Paradoxically, ZNF143 binds near the site of genic transcription initiation to directly repress a subset of genes. Although ZNF143 stimulates initiation at ZNF143-repressed genes (i.e. those that increase expression upon ZNF143 depletion), the molecular context of binding leads to cis repression. ZNF143 competes with other more efficient activators for promoter access, physically occludes transcription initiation sites, and acts as a molecular roadblock to RNA Polymerase to repress genes in cis. The term "context specific" is often invoked to describe transcription factors that have both activation and repression functions. Here, we define the context and molecular mechanisms of ZNF143-mediated cis activation and repression.

Project description:Estrogen signaling in breast cancer cells relies on long-range chromatin interactions connecting distal regulatory elements bound by the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) to target gene promoters. This ensures stimulus and subtype-specific transcriptional responses. Expanding on the function of CTCF and the cohesin complex in breast cancer, we demonstrate that the chromatin-looping factor ZNF143 binds the promoter of most early-response estrogen target genes connected to distal regulatory elements in ESR1-positive breast cancer cells. Its chromatin occupancy is unaffected by estrogen stimulation, supporting a stable three-dimensional genomic architecture within the early response to estrogen. Its loss abrogates the estrogen-induced transcriptional response and growth of breast cancer cells. When taking into account CTCF, ZNF143 and cohesin complex subunits, we show that chromatin-looping factors are genetically altered in over 20% of ESR1-positive primary breast tumors. Furthermore, the overexpression of ZNF143, CTCF and RAD21, a cohesin complex subunit, in ESR1-positive breast tumors associates with a worse clinical outcome. Overall, our results suggest that ZNF143 is a new critical effector of the estrogen response and highlights the contribution of the chromatin looping machinery to ESR1-positive breast cancer development.

Project description:Gene expression is orchestrated by transcription factors (TFs), which bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner, and by spatial genome structure, which constrains and shapes TF activity. Zinc finger protein 143 (ZNF143/ZFP143) is a TF that has been implicated in both gene activation and 3D genome organisation. We have generated an acute ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion system to study its direct consequences on chromatin looping and gene transcription. The effects of ZNF143/ZFP143 depletion are inconsistent with it being a looping factor, which we further confirmed by systematic analysis of previous studies. However, degradation of ZNF143/ZFP143 led to the down-regulation of hundreds of its targets, which were found to be enriched in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes. By studying the consequences of ZNF143/ZFP143 loss in monoculture and in an in vitro embryonic development model, we establish ZNF143/ZFP143 as a conserved transcriptional regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation by modulating mitochondrial functions.

Project description:The transcription factor ZNF143 contains seven tandem zinc fingers and is involved in 3D genome construction; however, the mechanism by which ZNF143 functions in chromatin looping remains unclear. Here, we show that ZNF143 directionally recognizes diverse genomic sites and is required for chromatin looping between these sites. In addition, ZNF143 is located between CTCF and cohesin at numerous CTCF sites and ZNF143 removal narrows the space between CTCF and cohesin. Moreover, genetic deletion of ZNF143, in conjunction with acute CTCF depletion, revealed that ZNF143 and CTCF collaborate to regulate higher-order genome organization. Thus, ZNF143 is recruited by CTCF to the CTCF sites to regulate TAD formation and genome compartmentalization whereas directional recognition of DNA motifs directly by ZNF143 itself regulates promoter activity via chromatin looping.
