MPRA for Characterization of transcription factor function and patterns fo gene regulation in HepG2 cells

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) are trans-acting proteins that bind cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in DNA to control gene expression. Here, we analyze the genomic localization profiles of 529 sequence-specific TFs and 151 cofactors and chromatin regulators in the cancer cell line HepG2, for a total of 680 broadly-termed DNA-Associated Proteins (DAPs). We use this deep collection to model each TF's impact on gene expression, including identifying a cohort of 26 candidate transcriptional repressors. We examine High Occupancy Target (HOT) sites in the context of three-dimensional genome organization and show biased motif placement in enhancer-promoter connections involving HOT sites. We also find a substantial number of closed chromatin regions with multiple DAPs bound and explore their properties, finding that a MAFF/MAFK TF pair correlates with transcriptional repression. Altogether, these analyses provide novel insights into the regulatory logic of the human cell line HepG2 genome and demonstrate the usefulness of large genomic analyses for elucidation of individual TF functions.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis roots - transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of transcription factor expression

Project description:Understanding how the expression of transcription factor (TF) genes is modulated is essential for reconstructing gene regulatory networks. There is increasing evidence that sequences other than upstream noncoding can contribute to modulating gene expression, but how frequently they do so remains unclear. Here, we investigated the regulation of TFs expressed in a tissue-enriched manner in Arabidopsis roots. For 61 TFs, we created GFP reporter constructs driven by each TF's upstream noncoding sequence (including the 5'UTR) fused to the GFP reporter gene alone or together with the TF's coding sequence. We compared the visually detectable GFP patterns with endogenous mRNA expression patterns, as defined by a genome-wide microarray root expression map. Experiment Overall Design: To obtain a comprehensive non-overlapping root expression map which would be compared with promoter GFP fusion lines by imaging, we identified three cell type specific GFP marker lines and profiled transcripts in selected cell types using a cell sorting-microarray technique.

Transcription Factor Highly Occupied Target (HOT) Regions of 145 Cell Lines

Project description:Purpose: 253 GSM Samples from GSE32970 and GSE29692 was reanalyzed to find the highly occupied target (HOT) regions of 154 cell lines. Methods: 1. We assigned the binding sites of 542 TFs in 154 cell lines as GSE53962 (Our last submission). 2.We performed a Gaussian kernel density estimation across the genome with a bandwidth of 300 bp, using the centers of each of the TF binding peaks as points. Then, we scanned this density for peaks, and denoted each peak a TF region(Candidate region to find HOT regions).To determine the complexity of the TF region, we summed the Gaussian kernalized distance from the peak to each TF that contributed at least 0.1 to its strength. The TF region around eat peak was derived by finding the maximum distance (in bp) from the peak to a contributing TF, and then adding 150 bp (one half of the bandwidth). Each TF region is centered on the peak, and have a TF complexity value. 3.To define HOT region according to the TF complexity, we required a complexity cutoff for each cell line.To geometrically define the cutoff we first scaled the TF complexity such that the x and y axis were from 0-1. We then found the x axis point for which a line with a slope of 1 was tangent to the curve. We define this point as the cutoff value,TF region whose complexity above this point to be HOT region, and TF region complexity below that point to be lowly occupied target (LOT) regions. Result: Using the binding sites of 542 TFs in 145 cell lines, we assigned a TF complexity score to each TF region corresponding to the number of distinct TFs bound, resulting in HOT regions of 145 cell lines.

MafK mediates chromatin remodeling to silence IRF8 expression in non-immune cells in a lineage-specific manner

Project description:The regulation of gene expression is a result of a complex interplay between chromatin remodeling, transcription factors (TFs) and signaling molecules. Cell differentiation is accompanied by chromatin remodeling of specific loci to permanently silence genes that are not essential for the differentiated cell activity. The molecular cues that recruit the chromatin remodeling machinery are not well characterized. IRF8 is an immune-cell specific TF, and thus, serves as a model gene to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing its silencing in non-immune cells. A high-throughput shRNA library screen in IRF8 expression-restrictive cells enabled the identification of MafK as modulator of IRF8 silencing, affecting chromatin architecture. ChIP-seq analysis revealed three MafK binding-regions (-25kb, -20kb and IRF8 6th intron) in the IRF8 locus. These MafK binding-sites are sufficient to repress a reporter-gene when cloned in genome-integrated lentiviral reporter constructs in expression-restrictive cells only, while plasmid-based constructs do not demonstrate such repressive effect. Furthermore, removal of MafK-int6 binding-region from BAC-IRF8 reporter construct was sufficient to promote accessible chromatin conformation. Taken together, we identified and characterized several MafK binding elements within the IRF8 locus that mediate repressive chromatin conformation resulting in the silencing of IRF8 expression only in non-immune cells.

A Comprehensive Atlas of Arabidopsis Regulatory DNA [DAP-seq]

Project description:We have developed a high throughput, next-generation DNA sequencing assay for rapid transcription factor binding site (TFBS) discovery in a genomic context. DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq), which uses affinity-purified transcription factors (TFs) to capture genomic DNA fragments, was applied to all 1,725 Arabidopsis thaliana TFs. High confidence TFBS motifs for 529 TFs and genome-wide enrichment maps for 349 factors were identified. In total,~ 2.7 million TFBS were identified which predict thousands of TF target genes enriched for known and novel functions.. Comparison of TF-binding using cytosine-methylated and -unmethylated genomic DNA revealed a 2-50 fold inhibition at methylated motifs for ~82% (264) of factors tested while 4.6% (15) showed stronger binding to methylated motifs. Finally, we describe how binding of Arabidopsis and maize Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) at phased motif repeats is highly enriched at ARF target gene promoters and how this architecture may allow for stabilization of dimers/multimers.

Position-dependent function of human sequence-specific transcription factors

Project description:Patterns of transcriptional activity are encoded in our genome through regulatory elements such as promoters or enhancers that, paradoxically, often contain similar assortments of sequence-specific transcription factor (TF) binding sites. Knowledge of how these sequence motifs encode multiple, often overlapping gene expression programs is central to understanding gene regulation and how mutations in non-coding DNA manifest in disease. Exploiting natural genetic variation, perturbation of endogenous TF protein levels, and analysis of synthetic regulatory elements using a novel transcription start site (TSS) capturing massively parallel reporter assay approach, here we show that the outcome of TF binding on transcription initiation is position dependent. Analyzing TF motif occurrences relative to the TSS, we identified several motifs with highly preferential and superhelical positioning. We show that these patterns are a combination of a TF's distinct functional profiles: many TFs, including canonical activators like NRF1, NFY, Sp1 or YY1, activate or repress transcription initiation depending on their precise position relative to the TSS. As such, TFs can collectively guide the site and frequency of transcription initiation. More broadly, these findings reveal how similar assortments of TFs, but with different spatial relationships, can result in distinct gene regulatory outcomes and underscore a critical role for TSS data in decoding the regulatory information of our genome.

A mammalian transcription factor-specific peptide repository for targeted proteomics

Project description:Site-specific transcription factors (TFs) play an essential role in mammalian development and function as they are vital for the majority of cellular processes. Despite their biological importance, TF proteomic data is scarce in the literature, likely due to difficulties in detecting peptides as the abundance of TFs in cells tends to be low. In recent years, significant improvements in mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies in terms of sensitivity and specificity have increased the interest in developing quantitative methodologies specifically targeting relatively lowly abundant proteins such as TFs in mammalian models. Such efforts would be greatly aided by the availability of TF peptide-specific information as such data would not only enable improvements in speed and accuracy of protein identifications, but also ameliorate cross-comparisons of quantitative proteomics data and allow for a more efficient development of targeted proteomics assays. However, to date, no comprehensive TF proteotypic peptide database has been developed. To address this evident lack of TF peptide data in public repositories, we are generating a comprehensive, experimentally derived TF proteotypic peptide spectral library dataset based on in vitro protein expression. Our library currently contains peptide information for 89 TFs, and this number is set to increase in the near future.

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.
