GABPα and CREB1 binding to double nucleotide polymorphisms of their consensus motifs and cooperative binding to the ETS-CRE motif (ACCGGAAGTGACGTCA).

ABSTRACT: Previously, cooperative binding to DNA between the bZIP domain of CREB1 and the ETS domain of GABPα was observed for the composite ETS-CRE motif (A0C1C2G3G4A5A6G7T8G9A10C11G12T13C14A15). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the beginning and end of the ETS motif (ACCGGAAGT) increased cooperative binding. Here, we use a microarray containing all double nucleotide polymorphisms (DNPs) of the ETS-CRE motif to explore GABPα and CREB1 binding to their canonical motifs and their cooperative binding to the ETS-CRE motif. For GABPα, binding to SNPs predicted binding the DNPs. In contrast, CREB1 binding to DNPs showed cooperativity. Similar results were observed for other ETS and bZIP family members. Cooperative binding between GABPα and CREB1 was typically weaker than expected except for DNPs containing A7 and SNPs at the beginning of the ETS motif.

Project description:Recent meta-analyses of genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 150 loci that are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). To link the causal genes in these loci to functional transcriptional networks, we have used chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) with human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) to investigate the cellular and molecular program downstream of one CAD associated transcription factor, TCF21. Analysis of the TCF21 downstream target genes for enrichment of molecular and cellular annotation terms identified processes relevant to CAD pathophysiology, including growth factor binding (PDGF, VEGF), matrix interactions (“integrin binding,” “cell adhesion”), and smooth muscle contraction (“actin filament-based processes,” “actin cytoskeleton”). Motif searches of peak sequences confirmed the canonical E-box CAGCTG as the likely binding sequence for TCF21, but also identified bZip motifs that coordinate binding of AP1 family transcription factors. Follow-up ChIP-Seq studies verified enriched binding of bZip factors JUN and JUND to TCF21 target loci. Importantly, analysis of the representation of CAD genes among TCF21 target loci showed highly significant enrichment. Further, expression quantitative trait variation mapped to target genes of TCF21 were significantly enriched among variants with low P-values in the GWAS analyses, and single nucleotide polymorphisms within TCF21 peaks were shown to be in linkage disequilibrium with CAD-associated SNPs, suggesting a functional interaction between TCF21 binding and causal variants in other CAD disease loci. Thus, data and analyses presented here provide evidence for a transcriptional regulatory network that links TCF21 function in smooth muscle cells with a number of other CAD-associated genes, and suggest that study of GWAS transcription factors may be a highly useful approach to identifying disease gene interactions and thus pathways that may be relevant to complex disease etiology.
