DNA Binding Specificities of Fkh1, Fkh2, Hcm1, and Fhl1 Revealed by SELEX-seq

ABSTRACT: Quantifying the preferences of DNA binding proteins is an essential step in determining how transcription factors (TFs) interact with their targets in the genome. High-throughput in vitro binding assays have been used to identify the inherent DNA preferences of TFs in a controlled environment isolated from confounding factors such as genome accessibility, DNA methylation, and TF binding cooperativity. Unfortunately, the limited variable region or sequencing depth typically utilized by many of the available experimental approaches makes it difficult to measure the preferences of moderate- to low-affinity binding sites, and impossible to measure small-scale differences between closely related homologs. The Forkhead box (FOX) family of TFs is known to play a crucial role in regulating a variety of key processes from proliferation and development, to tumor suppression and aging. By using the high-sequencing depth SELEX-seq approach to study all four FOX homologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have been able to precisely quantify the contribution and importance of nucleotide positions flanking the core of the binding sites. Essential to this process was the alignment of our SELEX-seq reads to a set of candidate core sequences determined by two newly developed strategies of alignment and reprioritization applied to enriched k-mers.

Joint sequence and chromatin neural networks characterize the differential abilities of Forkhead transcription factors to engage inaccessible chromatin (ATAC-seq)

Project description:The DNA-binding activities of transcription factors (TFs) are influenced by both intrinsic sequence preferences and extrinsic interactions with cell-specific chromatin landscapes and other regulatory proteins. Disentangling the roles of these determinants in TF-DNA binding remains challenging. For instance, the FoxA subfamily of Forkhead domain TFs are known pioneer factors, yet their binding varies across cell types, pointing to a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic forces guiding their binding. How such sequence and chromatin influences vary across related Forkhead domain TFs remains mostly uncharacterized. Here, we present a principled approach to compare the relative contributions of intrinsic DNA sequence preference and cell-specific chromatin environments to a TF’s DNA-binding activities. We over-express a selection of Fox TFs in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, which offer a platform to contrast each TF's binding activity within the same preexisting chromatin background. By developing and applying a neural network that jointly models sequence and chromatin data, we can evaluate how sequence and preexisting chromatin features contribute to induced TF binding, both at individual sites and genome-wide. We demonstrate that Fox TFs bind different DNA targets, and drive differential gene expression patterns, even when induced in identical chromatin settings. Differential Fox binding activities can be attributed to distinct DNA-binding preferences coupled with differential abilities to engage relatively inaccessible chromatin. We propose that varying preferences for preexisting chromatin states enables the functional diversification of paralogous TFs.

Differences in DNA-binding specificity of floral homeotic protein complexes predict organ-specific target genes

Project description:Floral organ identities in plants are specified by the combinatorial action of homeotic master regulatory transcription factors (TFs). How these factors achieve their regulatory specificities is however still largely unclear. Genome-wide in vivo DNA binding data show that homeotic MADS-domain proteins recognize partly distinct genomic regions, suggesting that DNA binding specificity contributes to functional differences of homeotic protein complexes. We used in vitro systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment followed by high throughput DNA sequencing (SELEX-seq) on several floral MADS-domain protein homo- and heterodimers to measure their DNA-binding specificities. We show that specification of reproductive organs is associated with distinct binding preferences of a complex formed by SEPALLATA3 (SEP3) and AGAMOUS (AG). Binding specificity is further modulated by different binding site (BS) spacing preferences. Combination of SELEX-seq and genome-wide DNA binding data allows to differentiate between targets in specification of reproductive versus perianth organs in the flower. We validate the importance of DNA-binding specificity for organ-specific gene regulation by modulating promoter activity through targeted mutagenesis. Our study shows that intrafamily protein interactions affect DNA-binding specificity of floral MADS-domain proteins. DNA-binding specificity of individual dimers, as well as DNA-binding preferences of higher-order complexes differ between floral homeotic protein complexes. Differential DNA-binding of MADS-domain protein complexes plays a role in the specificity of target gene regulation.

Protein−DNA binding in the absence of specific base-pair recognition

Project description:Until now, it has been reasonably assumed that specific base-pair recognition is the only mechanism controlling the specificity of transcription factor (TF)−DNA binding. Contrary to this assumption, here we show that nonspecific DNA sequences possessing certain repeat symmetries, when present outside of specific TF binding sites (TFBSs), statistically control TF−DNA binding preferences. We used high-throughput protein−DNA binding assays to measure the binding levels and free energies of binding for several human TFs to tens of thousands of short DNA sequences with varying re- peat symmetries. Based on statistical mechanics modeling, we iden- tify a new protein−DNA binding mechanism induced by DNA se- quence symmetry in the absence of specific base-pair recognition, and experimentally demonstrate that this mechanism indeed gov- erns protein−DNA binding preferences.

Determination and Inference of Eukaryotic Transcription Factor Sequence Specificity

Project description:The DNA sequence preferences of the vast majority of eukaryotic transcription factors (TFs) are unknown. Using an approach designed to broadly sample both DNA-binding domain types and eukaryotic clades, we have determined DNA-binding motifs for 1,033 TFs from 131 diverse eukaryotes, encompassing 54 domain types. Closely related orthologs and paralogs typically have very similar sequence preferences; this property allows inference of motifs for roughly one third of the 166,851 known or predicted eukaryotic TFs. While the origins of most motifs can be dated to hundreds of millions of years ago, we also characterize more recent TF expansions. Sequences matching the motifs are enriched upstream of TSS in most eukaryotic lineages, and at informative eQTL SNPs in Arabidopsis promoters, demonstrating their utility in mapping transcriptional networks. The motifs are housed at http://cisbp.ccbr.utoronto.ca Protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments were performed for a set of 1048 diverse eukaryotic transcription factors. Briefly, the PBMs involved binding GST-tagged DNA-binding proteins to two double-stranded 44K Agilent microarrays, each containing a different DeBruijn sequence design, in order to determine their sequence preferences. Details of the PBM protocol are described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006.

The Compendium of DNA-Binding Specificities of Transcription Factors in a Pathogenic Bacterium

Project description:The regulation of transcription is primarily exerted through transcription factors (TFs) binding to genomic DNA. Although molecular mechanisms of TFs have been studied individually for decades, a complete picture of binding profiles of all TFs and their precise targets in the genome are still lacking in the model pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. To this end, we performed a high-throughput systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (HT-SELEX) approach on all 301 annotated TFs in P. syringae. Robust enrichment of specific sequences was deduced to 118 SELEX motifs. We identified 12,464 interactions between 100 TFs and their target genes in the genome, for an individual TF ranging from 6 to 1481 sites. It showed that 90% TF binding was of dimeric site type, in which 85% with the head-to-head palindromic binding preference. To further explore the pathogenic mechanism of TFs in P. syringae, we mapped intricate networks of these TFs and their targets in the virulence-associated pathways, many of which were verified by orthologous methods such as ChIP-seq, EMSA, RT-qPCR and a reporter assay of promoter activity. By checking the enrichment of binding sites in pathways, we identified 25 virulence-associated master regulators of which 14 had never been characterized as TFs before. Overall, the present study provides a valuable resource for TF binding specificities in P. syringae and demonstrates a novel and an integrative analysis for seeking the virulence-associated TFs and its target genes. We expect that the results will significantly benefit future studies on the transcriptional regulation in P. syringae, and facilitate the design of drug targets to protect plants from attacks by relevant pathogens.

Deconvolving the recognition of DNA shape from sequence

Project description:Binding of transcription factors to DNA is mediated by the recognition of the chemical signatures of the DNA bases and the three-dimensional shape of the DNA molecule. The direct contribution of DNA shape to DNA-binding specificity has been difficult to assess, as DNA shape is a consequence of its sequence. Here, we teased apart these two modes of recognition in the context of Hox-DNA binding. We made a series of mutations in Hox residues that, in a co-crystal structure, only recognize DNA shape, and tested the effect on DNA binding preferences using SELEX-seq. Analysis of shape features of selected sequences revealed that these residues are both necessary and sufficient for selection of sequences with distinct shape features. We used statistical machine learning to show that the accuracy of binding specificity predictions improves by adding shape features to a model that only depends on sequence. We conclude that shape readout is a direct and critical component of binding site selection by Hox proteins. Three rounds of SELEX were performed on a series of Hox mutants as described in Slattery et al, Cell, 2011 (PMID 22153072) and Riley et al, Methods in molecular Biology, 2014 (PMID 25151169). Briefly, His-tagged Scr and Antp mutant proteins were incubated with a randomized 16mer oligonucleotide library, and bound DNA was amplified and sequenced as described (PMID 22153072, PMID 25151169).
