Project description:Zta is a bZIP transcription factor (TF) in the Epstein-Barr virus that binds unmethylated and methylated DNA sequences. Substitution of cysteine 189 of Zta to serine (Zta(C189S)) results in a virus that is unable to execute the lytic cycle which was attributed to a change in binding to methylated DNA sequences. To learn more about the role of this position in defining sequence-specific DNA binding, we mutated cysteine 189 to four other amino acids producing Zta(C189S), Zta(C189T), Zta(C189A), and Zta(C189V) mutants. Zta and mutants were used in protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments to evaluate sequence-specific DNA binding to four types of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA): 1) with cytosine in both strands (DNA(C|C)), 2) with 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5mC|C)), 3) with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5hmC|C)), and 4) with both cytosines in all CG dinucleotides containing 5mC (DNA(5mCG)). Zta(C189S) and Zta(C189T) bound the TRE (AP-1) motif (TGAG/CTCA) more strongly than wild-type Zta, while binding to other sequences, including the C/EBP half site GCAA was reduced. Binding of Zta(C189S) and Zta(C189T) to DNA containing modified cytosines (DNA(5mC|C), DNA(5hmC|C), and DNA(5mCG)) was reduced compared to Zta. Zta(C189A) and Zta(C189V) had higher non-specific binding to all four types of DNA. Our data suggests that position C189 in Zta impacts sequence-specific binding to DNA containing modified and unmodified cytosine.

Project description:In mammalian cells, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) occurs in genomic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and is enzymatically oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), then to 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and finally to 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). These cytosine modifications are enriched in regulatory regions of the genome. The effect of these oxidative products on five bZIP dimers (CREB1, ATF2, Zta, ATF3|cJun, and cFos|cJun) binding to five types of dsDNA was measured using protein binding microarrays. The five dsDNAs contain either cytosine in both DNA strands or cytosine in one strand and either 5mC, 5hmC, 5fC, or 5caC in the second strand. Some sequences containing the CEBP half-site GCAA are bound more strongly by all five bZIP domains when dsDNA contains 5mC, 5hmC, or 5fC. dsDNA containing 5caC in some TRE (AP-1)-like sequences, e.g., TGACTAA, is better bound by Zta, ATF3|cJun, and cFos|cJun.

Project description:The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) bZIP transcription factor (TF) Zta is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein that recognizes both unmethylated and methylated DNA. To study the contribution of the conserved N182 amino acid to sequence specific Zta DNA binding, we replaced it with five other amino acids: serine (S), glutamine (Q), threonine (T), isoleucine (I), or valine (V). We used protein binding microarrays (PBMs) to evaluate sequence-specific DNA binding to four types of double-stranded DNA: 1) DNA with cytosine in both strands (DNA(C|C), 2) DNA with 5-methylcytosine (5mC, M) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5mC|C)), 3) DNA with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC, H) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5hmC|C)), and 4) DNA with methylated cytosine in both strands in all CG dinucleotides (DNA(5mCG)). With unmethylated DNA, Zta(N182S) binds variants of the consensus TRE (TGA-G/C-TCA) motif, such as TGA-G/C-TGA and TCA-G/C-TGA where C at position 3 is replaced with G in one or both half sites of the motif. Zta(N182S) also binds stronger to DNAs containing modified cytosines compared to wildtype. Zta(N182Q) binds new sequences containing GTAA with DNA(C|C), DNA(5mC|C) and DNA(5hmC|C) where C at position 3 is replaced with A. Zta(N182I) and Zta(N182V) bind sequence specifically to DNA(5mC|C), and weakly with all other types of DNA examined. Zta(N182T) DNA binding is weaker to all types of DNA examined. Our data highlight that mutation of ZtaN182 with the hydrophilic amino acids serine and glutamine alters Zta sequence specific DNA binding, while mutation with hydrophobic amino acids (I and V) increases binding to DNA(5mC|C).

Project description:Zta, the Epstein-Barr virus bZIP transcription factor (TF), binds both unmethylated and methylated double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in a sequence-specific manner. We studied the contribution of a conserved asparagine (N182) to sequence-specific dsDNA binding to four types of dsDNA: (i) dsDNA with cytosine in both strands ((DNA(C|C)), (ii, iii) dsDNA with 5-methylcytosine (5mC, M) or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC, H) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand ((DNA(5mC|C) and DNA(5hmC|C)), and (iv) dsDNA with methylated cytosine in both strands in all CG dinucleotides ((DNA(5mCG)). We replaced asparagine with five similarly sized amino acids (glutamine (Q), serine (S), threonine (T), isoleucine (I), or valine (V)) and used protein binding microarrays to evaluate sequence-specific dsDNA binding. Zta preferentially binds the pseudo-palindrome TRE (AP1) motif (T-4G-3A-2G/C 0T2C3A4 ). Zta (N182Q) changes binding to A3 in only one half-site. Zta(N182S) changes binding to G3 in one or both halves of the motif. Zta(N182S) and Zta(N182Q) have 34- and 17-fold weaker median dsDNA binding, respectively. Zta(N182V) and Zta(N182I) have increased binding to dsDNA(5mC|C). Molecular dynamics simulations rationalize some of these results, identifying hydrogen bonds between glutamine and A3 , but do not reveal why serine preferentially binds G3 , suggesting that entropic interactions may mediate this new binding specificity.
