The REL domain of the NFATc2 protein binding to four types of DNA using protein binding microarrays


ABSTRACT: NFATc2 is a sequence specific DNA binding protein in the Rel family that binds a 5-mer motif CGGAA better when both cytosines in the CG dinucleotide are methylated. Using protein binding microarrays (PBMs) we examined the DNA binding of NFATc2 to three additional types of DNA: (1) single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), (2) double stranded DNA (dsDNA) with 5-methylcytosine (5mC, M) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (dsDNA(5mC|C)) and (3) DNA with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC, H) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (dsDNA(5hmC|C)). NFATc2 binding to ssDNA is strongest for the 7-mer ATTTCCA. While NFAT can bind ssDNA, the average binding to the 40,000 DNA features of the PBM was twice as high for ssDNA compared to dsDNA, with maximal binding observed to dsDNA, suggesting that NFAT binding to dsDNA is more specific. dsDNA sequences containing the 5-mer MGGAA with 5mC in one DNA strand are better bound than CGGAA, with methylation of a single cytosine being sufficient for the stronger binding seen when both cytosines in the CG dinucleotide are methylated. Several DNA sequences containing HGGAA are also better bound than those containing cytosine, however the effect of 5hmC is not as dramatic as that of 5mC. Analysis of available NFATc2:DNA complexes rationalizes our PBM data.
