Project description:The C4-12/Flag.ERβ cell line which stably expressed Flag.ERβ is used to study ERβ genomic functions without ERα interference. Mapping ERβ binding sites in these cells reveals ERβ unique distribution and motif enrichment patterns. Accompanying our mapping results, nascent RNA profiling is performed on cells at the same treatment time. The combined results allow the identification of ERβ target genes. Gene ontology analysis reveals that ERβ targets are enriched in differentiation, development and apoptosis. Concurrently, E2 treatment suppresses proliferation in these cells. Within ERβ binding sites, while the most prevalent binding motif is the canonical ERE, motifs of known ER interactors are also enriched in ERβ binding sites. Moreover, among enriched binding motifs are those of GFI, REST and EBF1, which are unique to ERβ binding sites in these cells. Further characterization confirms the association between EBF1 and the estrogen receptors, which favors the N-terminal region of the receptor. Furthermore, EBF1 negatively regulates ERs at the protein level. In summary, by studying ERβ genomic functions in our cell model, we confirm the anti-proliferative role of ERβ and discover the novel cross talk of ERβ with EBF1 which has various implications in normal physiology. C4-12/Flag.ERβ cells were treated with 10nM E2 for 1 hour then crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde; EtOH treatment was used as control. Crosslinked samples were processed for ChIP-seq and sequenced with Illumina Genome Analyzer II and aligned to hg18. QuEST was used as the peak-calling software, using default parameters recommended to analyze transcription factor ChIP-seq data. The entire ChIP-seq process was performed once on each sample (Vehicle or E2-treated).

Project description:Regulation of gene expression by chromatin modification through methylation of histone lysine residues is a dynamic, reversible process that when deregulated is associated with cancer development. In multiple myeloma, combined inhibition of the histone demethylases JARID1B, UTX and JmjD3 by the small molecule GSK-J4 prevents cellular glutamine utilization leading to amino acids deprivation, activates the integrated stress response via GCN2-dependent ATF4 activation, and induces apoptosis. This response is associated with a profound upregulation of metallothionein genes. Combined with clinical data demonstrating that overexpression of JARID1B is associated with shorter survival in multiple myeloma patients, this study highlights histone demethylases as epigenetic drug targets and places this demethylase inhibitor chemotype as having unique potential relative to established anti-myeloma treatment options. In total there are 7 different samples analyzed and one input control. Treatments are carried out with the demethylase inhibitor (or DMSO as negative control) at 6h and 48h, or with LNA targeting demethylases (or scrambled LNA) at 7 days. A negative control at 0h is included.

Project description:We demonstrate using conditional mutagenesis that Pbx1, with and without Pbx2+/ sensitization, regulates regional identity and laminar patterning of the developing mouse neocortex in cortical progenitors (Emx1-Cre) and in newly generated neurons (Nex1-Cre). Pbx1/2 mutants have three salient molecular phenotypes of cortical regional and laminar organization: hypoplasia of the frontal cortex, ventral expansion of the dorsomedial cortex, and ventral expansion of Reelin expression in the cortical plate of the frontal cortex, concomitant with an inversion of cortical layering in the rostral cortex. Molecular analyses, including PBX ChIP-seq, provide evidence that PBX promotes frontal cortex identity by repressing genes that promote dorsocaudal fate. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using antibody against Pbx1/2/3/ (sc-888, Santa Cruz). Wild type E12.5 mouse whole cortex was used for the analysis.

Project description:Epstein-Barr-Virus (EBV) Nuclear Antigens EBNALP and EBNA2 are co-expressed in EBV infected B-lymphocytes and are critical for Lymphoblastoid Cell Line (LCL) growth. EBNALP removes NCOR1 and RBPJ repressive complexes from promoter and enhancer sites and EBNA2 mostly activates transcription from distal enhancers. ChIP-seqs found EBNALP at 19,224 LCL sites, which were 33% promoter associated. EBNALP was associated with 10 transcription factor (TF) clusters that included YY1(63%), SP1(62%), PAX5(59%), BATF(50%), IRF4(49%), RBPJ(43%), ETS1(39%), PU.1(37%), RAD21(33%), NF-kB(31%), TBLR1(26%), ZNF143(24%), CTCF(23%), SMC3(21%), and EBF(17%). EBNALP sites had higher H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac, H2Az, and RNA Pol II signals than EBNA2 sites and had similar transcription effects. EBNALP co-localized with 29% of 19,845 EBNA2 sites. EBNALP/EBNA2 sites were similar to EBNALP sites in promoter localization, associated cell TFs, Pol II, H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac, and H2Az signals. EBNALP and EBNA2 promoter sites were more transcriptionally active than EBNALP or EBNA2 promoter sites. EBNALP was at the enhancer or promoter of myc and MYC affected genes, including cyclin D2, and bcl2. EBNALP at promoters with DNA looping and transcription factors, is positioned to deplete repressors from enhancers and promoters, enable chromatin remodeling, and transcription activation. Two EBNALP ChIP-seq replicates from IB4 LCL are analyzed in this study.

Project description:Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems (TASs) are thought to respond to various stresses, often inducing growth-arrested (persistent) sub-populations of cells whose housekeeping functions are inhibited. However, it is not always clear whether specific targets of orthologous RNAse toxins are responsible for their phenotypic effect, which has made it difficult to accurately place the multitude of TASs within cellular and adaptive regulatory networks. Here we show that the TAS HigBA can promote and inhibit bacterial growth dependent on the dosage of HigB, a toxin regulated by the DNA damage (SOS) repressor LexA in addition to its antitoxin HigA, and the target selectivity of HigBâs mRNA cleavage activity. HigB reduced the expression of an efflux pump that is toxic to a polarity control mutant, cripples the growth of cells lacking LexA and targets the cell cycle circuitry. Thus, TASs can have outcome switching activity in bacterial adaptive (stress) and systemic (cell cycle) networks. DNA binding of the antitoxin HigA and the SOS regulator LexA was analysed by chromatin immunoprecipitation-deep sequencing, and found to overlap at only one locus, the HigBA TA system promoter

Project description:We report that ancestral zinc-finger-domain transcriptional regulators, previously reported to control virulence/symbiosis, implement a cell cycle (SM-bM-^FM-^RG1) transcriptional switch. To unravel how this G1-phase transcriptional program is reinstated during a primitive cell cycle, we first defined G1-specific promoters in the model bacterium Caulobacter crescentus by comparative ChIP-Seq analysis. We then exploited one such promoter as genetic proxy, to identify two conserved developmental regulator paralogs, MucR1/2, that constitute a quadripartite and homeostatic regulatory module directing the switch from SM-bM-^FM-^RG1-phase transcription. Surprisingly, MucR orthologs that regulate virulence and symbiosis gene transcription in Brucella, Agrobacterium or Sinorhizobium support the G1 transcriptional switch in Caulobacter. Pan-genomic ChIP-Seq analyses in Sinorhizobium and Caulobacter show that this module targets orthologous genes. Thus, this ancestral bacterial lineage from which eukaryotic organelles descended may coordinate virulence/symbiosis with other cell cycle functions using a primordial transcription factor fold that is now primarily found in the eukaryotic domain of life.

Project description:Transcription factor-induced reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency is a very inefficient process, probably due to the existence of important epigenetic barriers that are imposed during differentiation and that contribute to preserve cell identity. In an effort to decipher the molecular nature of these barriers, we followed a genome-wide approach, in which we identified macro histone variants (macroH2A) as highly expressed in human somatic cells but downregulated after reprogramming to pluripotency, as well as strongly induced during differentiation. Knock down of macro histone variants in human keratinocytes increased the efficiency of reprogramming to pluripotency, while overexpression had opposite effects. Genome-wide occupancy profiles show that in human keratinocytes macroH2A.1 preferentially occupies genes that are expressed at low levels and are marked with H3K27me3, including pluripotency-related genes and bivalent developmental regulators, at which its presence prevents the regain of H3K4me2 during reprogramming, over imposing an additional layer of repression that preserves cell identity.

Project description:In Drosophila melanogaster, two chromosome-specific targeting and regulatory systems have been described. The male-specific lethal (MSL) complex supports dosage compensation by stimulating gene expression from the male X-chromosome and the protein Painting of fourth (POF) specifically targets and stimulates expression from the heterochromatic 4th chromosome. The targeting sites of both systems are well characterized, but the principles underlying the targeting mechanisms have remained elusive. Here we present an original observation, namely that POF specifically targets two loci on the X-chromosome, PoX1 and PoX2 (POF-on-X). PoX1 and PoX2 are located close to the roX1 and roX2 genes, which encode ncRNAs important for the correct targeting and spreading of the MSL-complex. We also found that the targeting of POF to PoX1 and PoX2 is largely dependent on roX expression and identified a high-affinity target region which ectopically recruits POF. The results presented support a model linking the MSL-complex to POF and dosage compensation to regulation of heterochromatin. POF salivary glands ChIP
