Project description:The Drosophila male-specific lethal (MSL) complex binds to the male X chromosome to activate transcription, and consists of five proteins, MSL1, MSL2, MSL3, MOF, MLE, and two roX RNAs. The MLE helicase remodels the roX lncRNAs, enabling the lncRNA-mediated assembly of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex. MSL2 is expressed only in males and interacts with the N-terminal zinc-finger of the transcription factor CLAMP that is important for specific recruitment of the MSL complex on the male X chromosome. Here we found that the unstructured C-terminal region of MLE interacts with 6-7 zinc-finger domains of CLAMP. In vitro 4-5 zinc fingers are critical for specific DNA-binding of CLAMP with GA-repeats, which constitute the core motif at the high affinity binding sites for MSL proteins. Deletion of the Clamp Binding Domain (CBD) in MLE results in decreasing of MSL proteins association with male X chromosome and increasing of male lethality. These results suggest that interactions of unstructured regions in MSL2 and MLE with CLAMP zinc finger domains are important for the specific recruitment of the MSL complex on the male X chromosome.
