TEAD4 occupied genes in differentiated C2C12 myoblasts

ABSTRACT: The TEAD (1-4) transcription factors comprise the conserved TEA/ATTS DNA binding domain recognising the MCAT element in the promoters of muscle-specific genes. Despite extensive genetic analysis, the function of TEAD factors in muscle differentiation has proved elusive due to redundancy amongst the family members. Expression of the TEA/ATTS DNA binding domain that acts a dominant negative repressor of TEAD factors in C2C12 myoblasts inhibits their differentiation, while selective shRNA knockdown of TEAD4 results in abnormal differentiation characterised by the formation of shortened myotubes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to array hybridisation (ChIP-chip) shows that TEAD4 occupies 867 promoters including those of myogenic miRNAs. We show that TEAD factors cooperate with MYOD1 to d
