High-throughput reporter assay for human genetic variants overlapping ATF4 binding sites

ABSTRACT: Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4) is a transcription factor that regulates cellular responses to nutrient deficiency, endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress. At the organism level, it is implicated in processes such as hematopoiesis, skeletogenesis, eye development, memory, muscle atrophy, and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Here, we carried out a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to identify allelic regulatory effects of human genetic variants that reside in ATF4 binding sites identified in ChIP-Seq experiments.

Effect of ATF4 gene knockout on skeletal muscle mRNA levels in fasted mice.

Project description:ATF4 is a fasting-induced trascription factor that promotes skeletal muscle atrophy. The goal of these studies was to determine how of loss of ATF4 affects skeletal muscle mRNA expression. For additional details see Ebert et al, Stress-Induced Skeletal Muscle Gadd45a Expression Reprograms Myonuclei and Causes Muscle Atrophy. JBC epub. June 12, 2012. Muscle-specfic ATF4 knockout (ATF4 mKO) mice and littermate controls were fasted for 24 hours and then tibialis anterior muscles were harvested. mRNA levels in ATF4 mKO muscles were normalized to levels in littermate control muscles.

ATF4 Promotes Skeletal Muscle Atrophy by Forming a Heterodimer with C/EBPbeta

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition that remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Previous work found that skeletal muscle atrophy involves activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a protein in the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family. However, the direct biochemical mechanism by which ATF4 promotes muscle atrophy was unknown. Because bZIP proteins such as ATF4 must dimerize to bind and activate genes, and because ATF4 is unable to form highly stable homodimers, we hypothesized that ATF4 may promote muscle atrophy by heterodimerizing with another bZIP family member. To test this hypothesis, we biochemically isolated skeletal muscle proteins that associate with the dimerization- and DNA-binding domain of ATF4 (the bZIP domain) in mouse skeletal muscle fibers in vivo. Interestingly, we found that ATF4 makes up one half of at least 5 distinct heterodimeric bZIP transcription factors in skeletal muscle fibers. This three-way interaction between ATF4, C/EBPbeta and the ATF4-C/EBP composite site activates the Gadd45a gene, which encodes a known mediator of muscle atrophy (Gadd45a). Together, these results identify a direct biochemical mechanism by which ATF4 induces skeletal muscle atrophy and provide new insight into the way that skeletal muscle atrophy occurs at the molecular level.

Effect of ATF4 overexpression on mouse skeletal muscle mRNA levels

Project description:Fasting increases the level of skeletal muscle ATF4 mRNA, which promotes skeletal myofiber atrophy.

Systematic dissection of regulatory motifs in 2,000 predicted human enhancers using a massively parallel reporter assay

Project description:We employ a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure the ex vivo activities of hundreds of K562 and HepG2 enhancers with known transcription factor motif instances. For seven selected motifs that correspond to known or predicted activators and repressors in the two cell types, we make directed modifications of the bases corresponding to these motifs and observe the changes in enhancer activity. Reporter mRNA-seq from HepG2 and K562 cells transfected with a ~55,000-plex MPRA plasmid pool containing 5,418 mutated human enhancer sequences, each linked to 10 distinct 10-nt tags. The reporter mRNA tags facilitate quantitation of their abundances. The same tags were also sequenced from the transfected MPRA plasmid pool to facilitate normalization to plasmid copy numbers.

Gene Expression Study in WT and ATF4 KO embryonic neurons

Project description:Oxidative stress is pathogenic in neurological diseases including stroke. The identity of oxidative stress-inducible transcription factors and their role(s) in propagating the death cascade are poorly understood. Microarray analysis of neurons undergoing oxidative stress showed significant induction of prodeath genes. These genes have been shown to be regulated by the bZip transcription factor, ATF4. ATF4 protein localized to the promoter of a putative death gene in neurons in vitro and in vivo. Germline deletion of ATF4 in neurons resulted in a reduction in oxidative stress-induced gene expression and resistance to oxidative death. ATF4 knockout mice experienced significantly smaller infarcts and improved behavioral recovery as compared to wild-type mice subjected to the same reductions in blood flow in a rodent model of stroke. ATF4 modulates an early, upstream event in the death pathway, as resistance to oxidative death by ATF4 deletion was associated with decreased consumption of the antioxidant glutathione. Restoration of ATF4 protein in knockout neurons was sufficient to restore sensitivity to oxidative death and to reaccelerate loss of glutathione. Together, these findings establish ATF4 as a redox-regulated, pro-death transcriptional activator in the nervous system that propagates death responses to oxidative stress in vitro and to stroke in vivo. Keywords: ATF4, oxidative stress, gene expression, neuroprotection, stroke WT and ATF4 KO embryonic neurons were studied. Untreated neurons (no=8 per genotype) and neurons challenged with oxidative stress with the glutamate homolog homocysteate (HCA, no=4 per genotype) were studied, for a total of 24 samples.
