HEB and E2A function as SMAD/FOXH1 cofactors

ABSTRACT: Nodal signaling, mediated through SMAD transcription factors, is necessary for pluripotency maintenance and endoderm commitment. We have identified a new motif, termed SMAD Complex Associated (SCA) that is bound by SMAD2/3/4 and FOXH1 in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived endoderm. We demonstrate that two bHLH proteins - HEB and E2A - bind the SCA motif at regions overlapping SMAD2/3 and FOXH1. Further, we show that HEB and E2A associate with SMAD2/3 and FOXH1, suggesting they form a complex at critical target regions. This association is biologically important, as E2A is critical for mesendoderm specification, gastrulation, and Nodal signal transduction in Xenopus tropicalis embryos. Taken together, E2A is a novel Nodal signaling cofactor that associates with SMAD2/3 and FOXH1 and is necessary for mesendoderm differentiation.

Genome-wide view of TGFb/Foxh1 regulation of the early mesendoderm program [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We defined the genome-wide binding regions of Smad2/3 and Foxh1 at mid-gastrula stage Xenopus tropicalis embryos, at which Nodal signaling and Foxh1 are critical in mesendoderm specification program.

Chromatin and Transcriptional Signatures for Nodal Signaling During Endoderm Formation in hESCs

Project description:To elucidate the Nodal transcriptional network that governs endoderm formation, we used ChIP-Seq to identify genomic targets for SMAD2/3, SMAD3, SMAD4, FOXH1 and the active and repressive chromatin marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived endoderm. We demonstrate that while SMAD2/3, SMAD4 and FOXH1 target binding is highly dynamic, there is an optimal signature for driving endoderm commitment. Initially, this signature is marked by both H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 as a very broad bivalent domain in hESCs. Within the first 24 hours, at a few select promoters, SMAD2/3 accumulation coincides with H3K27me3 depletion so that these loci become selectively monovalent marked only by H3K4me3. The correlation between SMAD2/3 binding, monovalent formation and transcriptional activation suggests a mechanism by which SMAD proteins coordinate with chromatin at critical promoters to drive endoderm specification. Examination of 2 different histone modifications and 4 different transcription factor associations in 2 cell types. For transcription factor analysis, three biological replicate ChIPs were pooled from each antibody, as well as input controls, for both hESCs and derived endoderm. For histone modifications, two biological replicates for H3K4me3 and three for H3K27me3 were used.

Foxh1 marks the embryonic genome prior to the activation of the mesendoderm gene regulatory program

Project description:We examined the binding dynamics of the maternal TF Foxh1 over a time course of germ layer development. Foxh1 binding was compared to the onset of zygotic transcription (RNA pol II), binding of the co-repressor Tle, Nodal signaling (Smad2/3) and the zygotic endoderm TF Foxa.

Switch Enhancer Elements Control Cell Fate in Human Embryonic Stem Cells (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:A small toolkit of morphogens is used repeatedly to direct development, raising the question of how context dictates interpretation of the same cue. One example is the TGFβ pathway that in human embryonic stem cells fulfills two opposite functions: pluripotency maintenance and mesendoderm (ME) specification. Using proteomics coupled to analysis of genome occupancy, we uncover a regulatory complex comprised of transcriptional effectors of the Hippo pathway (TAZ/YAP/TEAD), the TGFβ pathway (SMAD2/3) and the pluripotency regulator OCT4 (TSO). TSO collaborates with NuRD repressor complexes to buffer pluripotency gene expression, while suppressing ME genes. Importantly, the SMAD DNA binding partner FOXH1, a major specifier of ME, is found near TSO elements and upon fate specification we show that TSO is disrupted with subsequent SMAD-FOXH1 induction of ME. These studies define switch enhancer elements and provide a framework to understand how cellular context dictates interpretation of the same morphogen signal in development. ChIP experiment, a total of 8 samples: 4 samples DMSO treated (Input ctr, IgG ctr, SMAD2 precipitation, TEAD4 precipitation), 4 samples SB431542 (Input ctr, IgG ctr, SMAD2 precipitation, TEAD4 precipitation)

Genome-wide analysis of Smad2 and FoxH1 binding sites in zebrafish blastula

Project description:Morphogen gradients expose cells to different signal concentrations and induce target genes with different ranges of expression. To determine how the Nodal morphogen gradient induces distinct gene expression patterns during zebrafish embryogenesis we characterized the binding sites of the Nodal-specific transcription co-activators Smad2 and FoxH1 in wild-type, Nodal-overexpressing or Nodal signaling inhibited embryos. We found that FoxH1 binds to Nodal targets loci even in the absence of the signal, while Smad2 only binds and colocalizes to FoxH1 upon induction of the Nodal pathway.
