Genome-wide analysis of enhancers repressed by Nkx2.2 in spinal motor neuron progenitors

ABSTRACT: Unambiguous consolidation of cell identity relies on transcription factors (TFs) acting to suppress alternative lineages, yet few general principles have emerged explaining how repressors manipulate chromatin landscapes to achieve stable gene silencing, especially in instances when these TFs are only temporarily activated. The TF Nkx2.2 is transiently expressed in CNS progenitors yet permanently abrogates somatic motor neuron (sMN) differentiation via interactions with Groucho (Grg) co-repressors. We show that Nkx2.2 inhibits regulatory elements of progenitor and postmitotic sMN transcripts by utilizing Grg to evict co-activators. Surprisingly, co-activator eviction was accomplished using Grg proteins already present at enhancers, rather than through the additional recruitment of Grg or other co-repressors. Nkx2.2-mediated enhancer silencing also led to the loss of H3K27ac modifications from H3K27me3+H3K27ac+ proximal promoters of key sMN genes, facilitating persistent repression of the sMN progenitor program after Nkx2.2 downregulation. These results imply that active loci are poised for suppression, and repressor binding mediates the transition through co-activator displacement.

Genome-wide disclosure of the Nkx2.2 targets in oligodendrocytes and their progenitor cells suggests several novel target genes

Project description:The Nkx2.2 transcription factor contributes to regulate the timing of myelination in the CNS. Still, information about the regulon of Nkx2.2 in oligodendrocytes (Ols) and their progenitor cells (OPCs) is restricted to a few genes. Therefore we aimed to identify the entire regulon of Nkx2.2. We performed transcript profiling of postnatal Nkx2.2-/- mice, investigated the expression of selected transcripts in Ol lineage cells after siRNA induced Nkx2.2 knock-down, and identified the genome-wide active Nkx2.2 binding sites in murine OPCs and Ols by use of ChIP-sequencing technique. Thereby we have found 521 genes with active Nkx2.2 binding sites within 10,000 bp of their gene loci that furthermore are differently expressed in absence or lower expression of Nkx2.2. Functionally, the target genes are associated with mitosis, migration stop, protein transport, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, formation of Ca2+ waves, and WNT signalling. Furthermore, motif discovery techniques and tests for overlaps between sequencing reads suggest that MYRF, OLIG2, SOX10, and TCF3 interact or compete with Nkx2.2 in OPCs/Ols. However, the activator versus repressor activity of Nkx2.2 does not seem to depend on the potential interaction with either of the transcription factors. Test for overlaps with sites of specific histone 3 modifications show that the Nkx2.2 binding sites are more frequently associated H3K4me3 and H3K27ac in genes to which Nkx2.2 may act as an activator. This supports previous studies showing that Nkx2.2 acts in a HDAC1 dependent way. Together this provides new insight into how Nkx2.2 contributes to the timing of OPC differentiation and myelination in CNS.

Global profiling of Nkx2.2 SD-domain mutant pancreas during development and adulthood compared to transcriptional profiling of SD-domain mutant expressing neural progenitors.

Project description:The consolidation of unambiguous cell fate commitment relies on the ability of transcription factors (TFs) to exert tissue-specific regulation of complex genetic networks. The mechanisms by which TFs establish such precise control over gene expression, however, have remained elusive—especially in instances where a single TF operates in two or more discrete cellular systems. In this study, we demonstrate that  cell specific functions of NKX2.2 are driven by the highly conserved NK2-Specific Domain (SD). Mutation of the endogenous NKX2.2 SD domain prevents the developmental progression of beta cell precursors into mature, insulin-expressing beta cells, resulting in overt neonatal diabetes. Within the adult beta cell, the SD domain stimulates beta cell performance through the activation and repression of a subset of NKX2.2-regulated transcripts critical for beta cell function. These irregularities in beta cell gene expression may be mediated via SD domain-contingent interactions with components of the nuclear pore complex. In stark contrast to these pancreatic phenotypes, however, the SD domain is entirely dispensable for the development of NKX2.2-dependent cell types within the CNS. Together, these results reveal a previously undetermined mechanism through which NKX2.2 directs disparate transcriptional programs in the pancreas vs. neuroepithelium.

RNA-Seq analysis of E15.5 pancreas of both whole body Nkx2.2 mutant embryos and endocrine progenitor specific Nkx2.2 mutant embryos

Project description:Aim: Transcriptional analysis of E15.5 whole pancreas of Nkx2.2-LacZ/LacZ embryos versus control and Ngn3-Cre; Nkx2.2-flox/flox embryos versus control Methods: Embryonic pancreata were isolated at E15.5 from Nkx2.2 mutant mice and controls. Total RNA was extracted. Libraries were prepared from total RNA (RIN>8) with the TruSeq RNA prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the HiSeq2000 (Illumina) instrument. More than 20 million reads were mapped to the mouse genome (UCSC/mm9) using Tophat (version 2.0.4) with 4 mismatches and 10 maximum multiple hits. Significantly differentially expressed genes were calculated using DEseq. Results: There is significant overlap between the differentially expressed genes of whole body Nkx2.2 mutant embryos and endocrine progenitor specific Nkx2.2 mutant embryos; many of the downregulated genes (p-value < 0.05) are genes involved in beta cell function. Conclusion: Nkx2.2 functions within the endocrine progenitor lineage to activate beta cell genes

Transcription factors harbor functional RNA-binding domains

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrate the gene expression programs that define each cell’s identity, and the canonical TF accomplishes this with two functional domains1–7. The DNA-binding domain interacts with specific genomic sequences, and the effector domain binds coactivators or co-repressors that contribute to transcriptional regulation. We report here that TFs also frequently contain an RNA-binding domain and that this also contributes to gene regulation. Nearly half of TFs in human cells show evidence of RNA-binding and their affinities for RNA are similar to those of well-studied RNA-binding proteins. The RNA-binding sites of TFs have sequence and functional features analogous to the arginine-rich motif of the HIV transcriptional activator Tat8,9. RNA-binding contributes to TF function by promoting the dynamic association of TFs with chromatin. We conclude that the canonical definition of transcription factors is incomplete, and that the ability of many TFs to bind DNA, RNA and protein is fundamental to gene regulation.
