Comprehensive screens and a universal zinc finger model enable transcription factor reprogramming 2 factor reprogrammingComprehensive screens and a universal zinc finger model enable transcription factor reprogramming

ABSTRACT: Programmable regulation of gene expression promises to be a powerful therapeutic venue for diseases caused by the misexpression of genes, haploinsufficiencies, or gain of function mutations. While dCas9-effector domain fusions have been used to alter expression levels, their in vivo application is limited by size and immunogenicity. Conversely, the Cys2His2 Zinc Finger domain offers ideal characteristics for in vivo use. However, their intricate engagement with the DNA has made the design of Zinc Finger arrays challenging. We here describe the screening of 49 billion protein-DNA interactions and development of the first deep learning model that solves Zinc Finger design for any genomic target. We demonstrate the versatility of designed Zinc Fingers as nucleases and as activators or repressors by seamlessly reprogramming human transcription factors.

Multiparameter functional diversity of human C2H2 zinc finger proteins [RNA-Seq]

Project description:C2H2 zinc finger proteins represent the largest and most enigmatic class of human transcription factors. Their C2H2 arrays are highly variable, indicating that most will have unique DNA binding motifs. However, most of the binding motifs have not been directly determined. We have determined the binding sites and motifs of 119 C2H2 zinc finger proteins and the expression pattern of 80 cell lines overexpressing C2H2 zinc finger proteins in order to study the role of C2H2 zinc finger proteins in gene regulation. We expressed GFP-tagged C2H2-ZF proteins in stable transgenic HEK293 cells. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol and sequencing libraries were constructed using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold or TruSeq RNA Library Preparation Kit v2.

Off-Target Analysis of Zinc Finger Nucleases

Project description:Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) facilitate precise editing of DNA enabling targeted genomic modifications in vivo. ZFNs have been employed to obtain genetically modified plants and animals, and cell-based therapies utilizing ZFNs are undergoing clinical trials. However, many ZFNs display dose-dependent toxicity presumably due to the generation of undesired double stranded breaks at off-target sites within the genome. To evaluate the parameters influencing the functional specificity of ZFNs, we compared the in vivo activity of ZFN variants targeting the zebrafish kdrl locus, which display both high on-target activity and dose-dependent toxicity. We evaluated their functional specificity by assessing lesion frequency at 141 potential off-target sites within the zebrafish genome using Illumina sequencing. Only a minority of these off-target sites displayed significant lesion frequency with kdrl ZFNs. Furthermore, we find that active off-target sites appear to be defined by the thermodynamics of zinc finger-DNA recognition. Surprisingly, we observed that the zinc finger protein specificity and the choice of the engineered dimerization domain of the FokI nuclease could independently influence the fidelity of these ZFNs. The results of this study have implications for the assessment of likely off-target sites within a genome and point to both ZFP-dependent and –independent mechanisms of potential improvement for engineering ZFNs with higher levels of precision. Examined lesions at 141 off-target sites for various treatments of ZFNs and compare to the untreated sample stage 1: raw read but missing quality values stage 2: fastq files available from SRA

Transcriptome analysis of zinc finger transcription factor CASZ1b in neuroblastoma cells

Project description:Zinc finger transcriptional factor CASZ1b suppresses neuroblastoma growth. We have generated a tetracycline inducible CASZ1b expression neuroblastoma cell line (SY5YtetCASZ1b), in which CASZ1b has been transfected into SY5Y cells and its expression could be induced by treating the cells with tetracycline. Using gene expression profiling assay for the cells treated with tetracycline (Tet+) or without tetracycline (Tet-), we identified CASZ1b target genes and downstream transcriptional pathways in neuroblastoma cells.

Transposable elements drive the evolution of metazoan zinc finger genes

Project description:Cys2-His2 Zinc finger genes (ZNFs) form the largest family of transcription factors in metazoans. Zebrafish posess a subfamily characterized by the presence of a domain dubbed Fish N-terminal Zinc finger associated (FiNZ). FiNZ-ZNFs are expressed at the onset of zygotic genome activation in zebrafishh, and blocking FiNZ-ZNF translation using morpholinos during early zebrafish embryogenesis results in a broad de-repression of young, transcriptionally active TEs.

RNA features governing zinc finger antiviral protein sensitivity enable attenuated virus design

Project description:Synonymous recoding of viral genome can attenuate their replication, but can have pleiotropic effects, with multiple mechanisms contributing to attenuation. We set out to design recoded viral genomes whose attenuation was specific and conditional. The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) recognizes CpG dinucleotides and targets CpG-rich RNAs for depletion, but RNA features such as CpG numbers, spacing and surrounding nucleotide composition that enable specific modulation by ZAP are undescribed. Using synonymously mutated HIV-1 genomes, we define several sequence features that govern ZAP sensitivity and stable attenuation. Using features defined using HIV-1, we then designed a mutant enterovirus A71 genome whose attenuation was also stable and strictly ZAP-dependent, both in cell culture and in mice. This conditionally attenuated enterovirus A71 elicited neutralizing antibodies that were protective against wild-type enterovirus 71 infection and disease. Elucidation of the determinants of ZAP sensitivity can thus enable the rational design of conditionally attenuated viral vaccines.

Global analysis of Drosophila Cys2-His2 zinc finger proteins reveals a multitude of novel recognition motifs and binding determinants.

Project description:Cys2-His2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are the largest group of transcription factors in higher metazoans. A complete characterization of these ZFPs and their associated target sequences is pivotal to fully annotate transcriptional regulatory networks in metazoan genomes. As a first step in this process, we have characterized the DNA-binding specificities of 130 Zinc finger sets from Drosophila melanogaster using a bacterial one-hybrid system. This data set contains the DNA-binding specificities for at least one encoded ZFP from 71 unique genes and 22 alternate splice isoforms. This represents the largest block of characterized ZFPs from any organism described to date. These recognition motifs can be used to predict genomic binding sites and potential regulatory targets for these factors within the fruit fly genome. We have characterized subsets of fingers from these ZFPs to define the correct orientation and register of the zinc fingers on their defined binding sites. By correlating individual fingers with motif subsites, we can assign finger specificity throughout each ZFP. This reveals the diversity of recognition potential within the naturally-occurring zinc fingers of a single organism, where the characterized fingers can specify 47 of the 64 possible DNA triplets. To confirm the utility of our finger recognition models, we have employed subsets of Drosophila fingers in combination with an existing archive of zinc finger modules to create ZFPs with novel DNA-binding specificity. These finger combinations can be used to create novel functional Zinc Finger Nucleases for editing vertebrate genomes. Illumina sequencing of Barcoded Binding sites obtained after B1H selection of Cys2-His2 zinc finger proteins cloned as a C-terminal fusions to the omega subunit of E. coli RNA polymerase in the B1H system.
