The Sox2 transcription factor binds RNA

ABSTRACT: A subset of transcription factors is proposed to form functional interactions with RNA to facilitate proper regulation of gene expression. Sox2, a critical transcription factor for maintenance of pluripotency and neurogenesis, is found associated with several lncRNAs, although it is unknown whether these interactions are direct or via other proteins. We demonstrate that human Sox2 interacts directly with one of these lncRNAs with high affinity through its HMG DNA-binding domain. Furthermore, rather than interacting with a single high affinity site, Sox2 binds regions of dsRNA in a non-sequence specific fashion. RNA binding is competitive with dsDNA, yet interaction with RNA is primarily electrostatically driven using a partially overlapping set of amino acids as that used for DNA binding. Finally, we use two distinct crosslinking techniques, formaldehyde and UV, with RNA immunoprecipitation (respectively, “fRIP” and “UVRIP”) of Sox2 in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify >1000 potential Sox2-RNA interacting partners with ~75% overlap between the two techniques. Together, these data reveal that Sox2 productively binds dsRNA with affinities rivaling ChIP-validated promoter DNA sites, suggesting that the transcriptome plays a significant role in regulation of gene expression by Sox2.

Transcriptome-wide survey of Runx1-interacting RNAs by RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing

Project description:Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) plays critical roles in hematopoiesis including myeloid development. Runx1 binds Runt consensus motifs at promoters and regulatory elements of its target genes. Interestingly, several Runx1-binding RNA aptamers have been successfully developed. Additionally, mounting evidences suggest that transcription factors are capable of binding to RNAs. In this study, we performed a transcriptome-wide screen for Runx1-interacting RNAs in living cells using fRIP-Seq. Anti-Runx1 antibody was used to capture Runx1 in the monocytic cell line THP-1. RNAs co-immunoprecipitated with Runx1 were sequenced by paired-end massively parallel sequencing and analyzed by HOMER peak calling and annotation algorithms. By doing so, we identified a repertoire of RNAs interacting with Runx1. We further investigate functional role of these interactions in Runx1-mediated transcription regulation.

Proteins that interact physically with Drosophila blanks

Project description:RNA interference targets aberrant transcripts with cognate small interfering RNAs, which derive from double-stranded RNA precursors through nucleolytic processing. Several functional screens have identified Drosophila blanks/lump (CG10630) as a facilitator of RNAi in cultured cells, yet its molecular function has remained unknown. The protein carries two dsRNA binding domains (dsRBD) and blanks mutant males have a spermatogenesis defect. We demonstrate that blanks selectively boosts RNAi triggered by dsRNA of nuclear origin. Blanks binds dsRNA in vitro, shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm and the abundance of certain endogenous siRNAs is reduced in blanks mutant testes. Transgenic expression of a Blanks protein variant with increased nuclear retention reduces endogenous siRNA abundance unless the protein also carries a mutation that prevents binding of dsRNA to the second dsRBD. Blanks thus facilitates the export of dsRNA to the cytoplasm for further processing by the canonical RNAi machinery. In contrast, rescue of male fertility in blanks mutant animals was independent of RNA binding to the second dsRBD, consistent with a previous report that linked fertility to the first dsRBD of Blanks. The role of blanks in spermatogenesis appears thus unrelated to its role in dsRNA export.

Transcriptome-wide profiling of Yeast Phosphofructokinase 1 and 2 RNA targets

Project description:The RNA targets of the yeast Pfk1 and Pfk2 were mapped on a transcriptome scale using formaldehyde-assisted crosslinking and RNA-protein immunoprecipitation followed by high throuput sequencing (fRIP-seq). Tandem affinity purification (TAP) tagged Pfk1 and Pfk2 were usesd to capture the transcritps bound by Pfk1 and Pfk2. We also included a mock IP control i.e. wild type treated exactly the same way as the fRIP-seq samples to account for non-specific RNA interactions with the beads. Moreover, we ran total RNA-seq on wild type control for data normalization. We found that Pfk1 and Pfk2 bind mainly to mRNAs that code for proteins invovled in distinct functions . Our data suggests that, besides their well-characterized functions as glycolytic enzymes, they perfom additional functions as RNA-binding involved in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression.

Selective influence of Sox2 on POU transcription factor binding in embryonic and neural stem cells

Project description:Embryonic stem cell (ESCs) identity is orchestrated by co-operativity between the transcription factors (TFs) Sox2 and the class V POU-TF, Oct4 at composite Sox/Oct motifs. Neural stem cells (NSCs) lack Oct4 but express Sox2 and class III POU-TFs. This raises the question of how Sox2 interacts with POU-TFs to transcriptionally specify ESCs or NSCs. Here we show that Oct4 alone binds the Sox/Oct motif and the octamer-containing palindromic MORE equally well. Sox2 binding selectively increases the affinity of Oct4 for the Sox/Oct motif. In contrast, Oct6 binds preferentially to the MORE, and is unaffected by Sox2. ChIP-seq in NSCs shows the MORE to be the most enriched motif for class III POU-TFs, with MORE sub-types apparent, but no Sox/Oct motif enrichment. These results suggest that in NSCs, co-operativity between Sox2 and class III POU-TFs may not occur and that POU-TF driven transcription uses predominantly the MORE cis architecture. Thus, distinct interactions between Sox2 and POU-TF subclasses distinguish pluripotent ESCs from multipotent NSCs, providing molecular insight into how Oct4 alone can convert NSCs to pluripotency.

Widespread RNA Binding by Chromatin Associated Proteins

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that RNA interaction can regulate the activity and localization of DNA binding proteins, particularly chromatin-associated proteins. However, it is unknown if these observations are specialized instances for a few key RNAs and chromatin factors in specific contexts, or a general mechanism underlying the establishment of chromatin state and regulation of gene expression. Here, we introduce formaldehyde RNA ImmunoPrecipitation (fRIP-Seq), a sensitive method for cataloging RNA-protein interactions, to survey the RNA associated with a panel of 24 chromatin-associated and traditional RNA binding proteins. For each protein that reproducibly bound measurable quantities of bulk RNA (90% of the panel), we detected enrichment for hundreds to thousands of both noncoding and mRNA transcripts. We found that the enriched sets of RNA share biochemical, functional, and epigenetic properties. Thus, these data provide strong evidence that non-random RNA association is a common feature across diverse classes of chromatin modifying complexes. RNA associated with 24 different proteins using fRIP was compared to total RNA-seq

RAP-MS analysis of LncRNA BGL3 interacting proteins in cells

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging regulators of genomic stability and human disease. However, the molecular mechanisms by which nuclear lncRNAs directly contribute to DNA damage responses remain largely unknown. Using RNA antisense purification coupled with quantitative mass spectrometry (RAP-qMS), we found that the lncRNA BGL3 binds to PARP1 and BARD1, exhibiting unexpected roles in homologous recombination. Mechanistically, BGL3 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by PARP1 at an early time point, which requires its interaction with the DNA-binding domain of PARP1. BGL3 also binds the C-terminal BRCT domain and an internal region (amino acids 127-424) of BARD1, which mediates interaction of the BRCA1/BARD1 complex with its binding partners such as HP1γ and RAD51, resulting in BRCA1/BARD1 retention at DSBs. Cells depleted for BGL3 displayed genomic instability and were sensitive to DNA-damaging reagents.

Pupylation sites on protein Sox2

Project description:As a test for the effectiveness of SPIDER with RNA-protein pairs, We used Sox2 and specific biotin-DNA and biotin-RNA to validate the efficiency of SPIDER capturing protein-nucleic acid interaction. Pupylation sites on Sox2 after SPIDER assay was identified by LC-MS/MS analysis, by searching for an additional mass of ~243 Da, which represents the three C-terminal residues of Pup, i. e., GGE, that covalently binds to adjacent lysine by pupylation. ）

Trincr1 RNA pull down MS in mESC

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important components of gene regulatory network in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the function and molecular mechanism of lncRNAs are still largely unknown. Here we identified Trincr1 (TRIM71 interacting long noncoding RNA 1) lncRNA that regulates the FGF/ERK signaling and self-renewal of ESCs. Trincr1 is exported by THOC complex to cytoplasm where it binds and represses TRIM71, leading to the downregulation of SHCBP1 protein. Knocking out Trincr1 leads to the upregulation of phosphorylated ERK and ERK pathway target genes and the decrease of ESC self-renewal, while knocking down Trim71 completely rescues the defects of Trincr1 knockout. Furthermore, ectopic expression of Trincr1 represses FGF/ERK signaling and the self-renewal of neural progenitor cells. Together, this study reveals more regulators in FGF/ERK signaling pathway and highlights lncRNA as an important player in cell signaling network to coordinate cell fate specification.
