Sequence properties of human acidic transcriptional activation domains

ABSTRACT: Acidic activation domains are intrinsically disordered regions of transcription factors that bind coactivators. The intrinsic disorder and low evolutionary conservation of activation domains have made it difficult to identify the sequence features controlling AD activity. To address this problem, we designed thousands of variants in seven acidic activation domains and measured their activities with a new high-throughput assay in human cell culture. We found that strong activation domain activity required a balance between the number of acidic residues and aromatic and leucine residues. These findings motivated a predictor of activation domains that scans the human proteome for clusters of aromatic and leucine residues embedded in regions of high acidity. This predictor identifies known activation domains and accurately predicts new ones. Our results support a flexible model of activation domains in which acidic residues solubilize hydrophobic motifs so that they can interact with coactivators.

Systematic identification of transcriptional activation domains from non-transcription factor proteins in plants and yeast

Project description:Transcription factors can promote gene expression through activation domains. Whole-genome screens have systematically mapped activation domains in transcription factors, but not in non-transcription factor proteins (e.g., chromatin regulators, coactivators). To fill this knowledge gap, we employed the activation domain predictor PADDLE to analyze the proteomes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We screened 18,000 predicted activation domains from >800 non-transcription factor genes in both species, confirming that 89% of candidate proteins contain active fragments. Our work enables the annotation of hundreds of nuclear proteins as putative coactivators, many of which have never been ascribed any function in plants. Analysis of peptide sequence compositions reveals how the distribution of key amino acids dictates activity. Finally, we validated short, 'universal' activation domains with comparable performance to state-of-the-art activation domains used for genome engineering. Our approach enables the genome-wide discovery and annotation of activation domains that can function across diverse eukaryotes.

Campylobacter jejuni genes contributing to acid adaptation

Project description:In order to cause disease, the food- and water-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni must face the extreme acidity of the host stomach as well as cope with pH fluctuations in the intestine. In the present study, C. jejuni NCTC 11168 was grown under mild acidic conditions mimicking those encountered in the intestine. The resulting transcriptional profiles revealed how this bacterium fine-tunes gene expression in response to acid stress. This adaptation involves differential expression of respiratory pathways, induction of genes for phosphate transport and repression of energy generation and intermediary metabolism genes. Keywords: acid shock; dose response; transcriptional response to 3 mild-acidic pH growth conditions (pH6.5, pH 6.0 and pH5.0)

A Cryptic Basic Groove formed by Ubiquitin and Histone H3 Mediates the Selective Recognition of H2AK119Ub Nucleosomes by Synovial Sarcoma X Breakpoint 1 Protein

Project description:The cancer-specific fusion oncoprotein SS18-SSX1 disturbs chromatin accessibility by hijacking the chromatin-remodeling BAF complex from the promoters or enhancers to the H2AK119Ub-marked polycomb-repressed chromatin regions. Relocation of the BAF complex was achieved through selective recognition of the H2AK119Ub nucleosomes by the synovial sarcoma X breakpoint 1 protein SSX1, which neither has a ubiquitin (Ub)-binding domain nor binds to free Ub. To elucidate the mechanism by which SSX1 selectively recognizes H2AK119Ub nucleosomes, here we report the cryo-EM structure of SSX1 bound to H2AK119Ub nucleosomes at a resolution of 3.1 Å. The structure reveals that the SSX1 N-terminal basic region (residues W164, R167, L168, R169) is anchored to the H2A/H2B acidic patch, while the aromatic amino acid (residue Y177) in the middle of SSX1 interacts with the hydrophobic pocket formed by the H2A α2 and α3 helixes. Ub recognition by SSX1 is unique and depends on a cryptic basic groove formed by H3 (residues R49, R52, K56) and the Ub motif (residues R42, R72, R74) on the H2AK119 site. Our results describe a novel mode of site-specific ubiquitinated nucleosome recognition that underlies the specific hijacking of the BAF complex to polycomb regions by SS18-SSX1 in synovial sarcoma.

H2AZ extended acidic patch is necessary for formation specialized chromatin states in ESCs [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The H2A variant H2AZ is essential for embryonic development and for proper execution of developmental gene expression programs in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Divergent regions in H2AZ are likely key for its functional specialization, but we know little about how these differences contribute to chromatin regulation. Here, we show that the extended acidic patch, specifically the three divergent residues in the C-terminal docking domain, is necessary for lineage commitment during ESC differentiation and proper execution of gene expression programs during ESC differentiation. Surprisingly, disruption of the acidic patch domain has a distinct consequence on cellular specification compared to H2AZ depletion. This is consistent with differences in gene expression profiles of H2AZ M-bM-^@M-^Sdepleted and acidic patch (AP) mutant ESCs during early lineage commitment. Interestingly, the distinct consequence of AP mutant expression on gene regulation is coincidence with an altered destabilized chromatin state and high chromatin mobility dependent on active transcription. Collectively, our data shows that the divergent residues within the acidic patch domain are key structural determinants of H2AZ function and links chromatin structure and dynamics with gene regulation and cell fate specification. H2AZ extended acidic patch was mutated, or H2AZ was KD in mouse embryonic stem cells and RNA-Seq analysis was performed on the resulting cultures. Characterization of H2AZ-WT and -AP3-mutant binding specificities were performed by ChIP-Seq.

Suboptimization of human transcription factors

Project description:Transcription factors play essential roles in cell type specification during differentiation, and small sets of transcription factors can reprogram cell identity. Therefore, we tested the impact of increasing periodicity of aromatic residues on the ability of transcription factors to reprogram cells.

Rational optimization of a transcription factor activation domain inhibitor

Project description:Transcription factors are among the most attractive therapeutic targets but are considered largely undruggable. Here we provide evidence that small molecule-mediated partitioning of the androgen receptor, an oncogenic transcription factor, into phase-separated condensates has therapeutic effect in prostate cancer. We show that the phase separation capacity of the androgen receptor is driven by aromatic residues and short unstable helices in its intrinsically disordered activation domain. Based on this knowledge, we developed tool compounds that covalently attach aromatic moieties to cysteines in the receptors’ activation domain. The compounds enhanced partitioning of the receptor into condensates, facilitated degradation of the receptor, inhibited androgen receptor-dependent transcriptional programs, and had antitumorigenic effect in mouse models of prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer. These results establish a generalizable framework to target the phase-separation capacity of intrinsically disordered regions in oncogenic transcription factors and other disease-associated proteins with therapeutic intent.
