Functional partitioning of transcriptional regulators by patterned charge blocks

ABSTRACT: Components of the transcriptional machinery are dynamically compartmentalized by weak multivalent interactions, yet we know little about how specificity or selectivity of partitioning is achieved. Here we show that condensates composed of the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of MED1 (MED1_IDR) selectively partition positive regulators of transcription(SPT6, CTR9, IWS1) with RNA Pol II while excluding negative regulators of transcription (NELF and HP1a).This selective compartmentalization by MED1_IDR is sufficient to activate transcription and is required for gene activation during a cell state transition. Surprisingly, the IDRs of partitioned proteins are sufficient to recapitulate selective compartmentalization. We find that IDR-mediated selective partitioning requires multivalent blocks of positive and negative charge on MED1_IDR and IDRs of partitioned proteins. The charge patterns required for partitioning are also required for gene activation. These findings demonstrate that proteins can be functionally compartmentalized by specific multivalent interactions driven by the charge patterning within disordered regions.

TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing [CUT&RUN]

Project description:TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2. Consequently, TAF2 recruits SRRM2 to TFIID to form non-canonical TFIID-SRRM2 complexes. Reduced SRRM2 recruitment elicits alternative splicing events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Further, genome-wide binding analyses suggest TAF2 shuttling between nuclear speckles and pol II promoters. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Intrinsically disordered regions of transcription factor encode multiple functions using interwoven sequence grammars (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are abundant within eukaryotic proteins, but their sequence-function relationship remains poorly understood. IDRs of transcription factors (TFs) can direct promoter selection and recruit coactivators, as exemplified by the budding-yeast TF- Msn2. To examine how low-complexity IDRs encode multiple functions, we compared genomic binding preferences, gene induction, and coactivator recruitment amongst a large set of designed Mns2-IDR mutants. We show that multiple regions across the >500AA IDR contribute to both functions. Yet, transcription activity was readily disrupted by variants having no consequences on Msn2 binding. Our data attribute this differential sensitivity to the integration of relaxed, composition-based code directing binding preferences with a more stringent, motif-based code controlling the recruitment of coactivators and transcription activity. Interwoven sequence grammar may present a general paradigm through which low-complexity IDRs encode multiple functions.

Hierarchical antagonistic regulatory elements in the TRPV4 intrinsically disordered N-terminus modulate lipid binding and channel activity through transient long-range interactions

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are important for the functional regulation of membrane receptors. Among the TRP Vanilloid channels involved in thermo- and osmosensation, TRPV4 features the largest N-terminal IDR of ~150 residues. Here, we elucidate the structural ensemble of the TRPV4 IDR through an integrated structural biology approach. Novel structural and functional properties can be assigned to distinct IDR regions. Along the length of the entire IDR, a hierarchical interaction network of structurally and functionally coupled antagonistic regulatory modules can be mapped. Long-range transient crosstalk between these regulatory elements mediates channel responses to osmotic stimuli. Most notably, a highly conserved regulatory patch in the N-terminal IDR asserts dominant negative control over lipid binding and channel activity by acting on a sensitizing PIP2 binding site in the C-terminal IDR. This work demonstrates the importance of IDRs and “IDR cartography” for understanding TRP channel function and regulation.

Structural dynamics of the chicken TRPV4 N-terminal domain

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are essential for membrane receptor regulation but often remain unresolved in structural studies. TRPV4, a member of the TRP vanilloid channel family involved in thermo- and osmosensation, has a large N-terminal IDR of approximately 150 amino acids. With an integrated structural biology approach, we analyze the structural ensemble of the TRPV4 IDR and identify a network of regulatory elements that modulate channel activity in a hierarchical lipid-dependent manner through transient long-range interactions. A highly conserved autoinhibitory patch acts as a master regulator by competing with PIP2 binding to attenuate channel activity. Molecular dynamics simulations show that loss of the interaction between PIP2-binding site and the membrane reduces the force exerted by the IDR on the structured core of TRPV4. This work demonstrates that IDR structural dynamics are coupled to TRPV4 activity and highlights the importance of IDRs for TRP channel function and regulation.

Genome-wide profiling and identification of disordered transcription factors through chemical precipitation mapping [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in DNA-associated proteins have recently been shown to play important roles in gene regulation. To better understand these domains we developed an antibody-independent assay to map disordered proteins genome-wide by combining b-isox mediated precipitation and next-generation sequencing (DisP-seq, disordered protein precipitation followed by DNA sequencing). We first analyzed Ewing sarcoma cells as a proof of principle given that the prion-like IDR of the oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1 has been shown to play a critical role in this cancer. We find that DisP-seq produces thousands of strong peaks associated with diverse chromatin states in Ewing sarcoma and other cell types tested. These locations are highly enriched for DNA binding motifs matching EWS-FLI1 and other transcription factors with prominent IDRs. Moreover, depletion of EWS-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells leads to a widespread reorganization of DisP-seq signals, including decreases at EWS-FLI1 binding sites and marked increases at sites associated with mesenchymal differentiation. Analysis of these new DisP-seq signals shows that they arise from redistribution of the transcription factor NFIB, which initially overlaps EWS-FLI1 and has an IDR that is required for proper localization and function. Our results thus show that antibody-independent precipitation mapping can enable genome-wide profiling and identification of disordered transcription factors to uncover their roles in complex gene regulation programs.
