Discovery of a druggable site regulating DNA Binding of the AP1 transcription factor, deltaFOSb

ABSTRACT: ΔFOSB, a member of the AP1 family of transcription factors, mediates long-term neuroadaptations underlying drug addiction, seizure-related cognitive decline, dyskinesias, and several other chronic conditions. AP1 transcription factors are notoriously difficult to modulate pharmacologically due to the absence of well-defined binding pockets. Here, we identify a novel allosteric site on ΔFOSB, located outside the DNA-binding cleft, that accommodates small molecules and regulates DNA binding and release. We show that sulfonic acid-containing compounds bind to this site via an induced-fit mechanism, reorienting side chains critical for DNA binding, thereby likely hindering the ΔFOSB bZIP α-helix from binding in the major groove of DNA. In vivo, direct administration of lead compound JPC0661 into the brain reduces ΔFOSB occupancy at genomic AP1 consensus sites by approximately 60% as determined by CUT&RUN-sequencing. These findings demonstrate that DNA binding and release by AP1 transcription factors can be controlled via small molecules docking into a novel allosteric binding site.

A new pipeline SPICE identifies novel JUN-IKZF1 composite elements

Project description:Transcription factor partners can cooperatively bind to DNA composite elements to augment gene transcription. Here, we report a novel protein-DNA binding screening pipeline, termed Spacing Preference Identification of Composite Elements (SPICE), that can systematically predict protein binding partners and DNA motif spacing preferences. SPICE de novo predicted known composite elements, including AP1-IRF composite elements (AICE) and STAT5 tetramers, and also predicted a range of novel binding partners, including JUN-IKZF1 composite elements. We confirmed cooperative binding of JUN and IKZF1 to an upstream conserved noncoding region, CNS9, in the human IL10 gene, that contains a non-canonical IKZF1 site, and the activity of an IL10-luciferase reporter construct depended on both this site and the AP1 binding site within this composite element in primary B and T cells. Our findings reveal an unappreciated global association of IKZF1 and AP1, and establish SPICE as a valuable new pipeline for predicting novel transcription binding complexes.

Cell-type-specific whole-genome landscape of ΔFOSB binding in nucleus accumbens after chronic cocaine exposure

Project description:Background The ability of neurons to respond to external stimuli involves adaptations of gene expression. Induction of the transcription factor, ΔFOSB, in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a key brain reward region, is important for the development of drug addiction. However, a comprehensive map of ΔFOSB’s gene targets has not yet been generated. Methods We use CUT&RUN to map the genome-wide changes in ΔFOSB binding in the two main types of NAc neurons—D1 or D2 medium spiny neurons (MSNs)—after chronic cocaine exposure. To annotate genomic regions of ΔFOSB binding sites, we also examined the distributions of several histone modifications. Resulting datasets were leveraged for multiple bioinformatic analyses. Results The majority of ΔFOSB peaks occur outside of promoter regions, including intergenic regions, and are surrounded by epigenetic marks indicative of active enhancers. BRG1, the core subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, overlaps with ΔFOSB peaks, consistent with earlier studies of ΔFOSB’s interacting proteins. Chronic cocaine induces broad changes in ΔFOSB binding in both D1 and D2 NAc MSNs of male and female mice. In addition, in silico analyses predict that ΔFOSB cooperatively regulates gene expression with homeobox and T-box transcription factors. Conclusions These novel findings uncover key elements of ΔFOSB’s molecular mechanisms in transcriptional regulation at baseline and in response to chronic cocaine exposure. Further characterization of ΔFOSB’s collaborative transcriptional and chromatin partners specifically in D1 and in D2 MSNs will reveal a broader picture of the function of ΔFOSB and the molecular basis of drug addiction.

Small Molecule Allosteric inhibitors of GPX4

Project description:Encouraged by the dependence of drug-resistant, metastatic cancers on GPX4, we examined biophysical mechanisms of GPX4 inhibition, which revealed an unexpected allosteric binding site. We found that this site was involved in native modulation of GPX4 activity. Binding of inhibitors to this allosteric site caused a conformational change, inhibition of activity, and subsequent cellular GPX4 protein degradation. To verify this binding site in an unbiased manner, we screened a library of compounds, and identified and validated that a novel additional compound can bind in this allosteric site, inhibiting and degrading GPX4. We determined co-crystal structures of six different inhibitors bound in this site. We have thus discovered a new allosteric mechanism for small molecules targeting aggressive cancers dependent on GPX4.

Genome-wide occupancy of FLAG-ERG and FLAG-EHF in RWPE1 cells

Project description:We compared the genome occupancy for FLAG-tagged versions of the ETS factors ERG and EHF in the normal prostate epithelial cell line RWPE1. Our in vitro binding studies support a model whereby oncogenic ETS factors like ERG bind cooperativly with AP1 factors at closly spaced ETS-AP1 sites, while certain non-oncogenic factors like EHF bind anti-cooperatively with AP1 at the same sites. ETS and AP1 binding motifs were enriched in both ChIP datasets, but the ERG-FLAG bound reginos contained a much higher percentage of ETS-AP1 sites spaced in close proximity, consistent with our in vitro binding data.

Distinct modulation of cellular immunopeptidome by the allosteric regulatory site of ER aminopeptidase 1

Project description:ER aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is an ER-resident aminopeptidase that excises N-terminal residues off peptides that then bind onto Major Histocompatibility Complex I molecules (MHC-I) and indirectly modulates adaptive immune responses. ERAP1 contains an allosteric regulatory site that accommodates the C-terminus of only some peptide substrates, raising questions about its exact influence on antigen presentation and the potential of allosteric inhibition for cancer immunotherapy. We used an inhibitor that targets this regulatory site to study its effect on the immunopeptidome of a human cancer cell line. The immunopeptidomes of allosterically inhibited and ERAP1 knockout cells contain high-affinity peptides with sequence motifs consistent with the cellular HLA class I haplotypes, but were strikingly different in peptide composition. Compared to knockout cells, allosteric inhibition did not affect the length distribution of peptides and skewed the peptide repertoire both in terms of sequence motifs and HLA allele utilization, indicating significant mechanistic differences between the two ways of disrupting ERAP1 function. These findings suggest that the regulatory site of ERAP1 plays distinct roles in antigenic peptide selection, which should be taken into consideration when designing therapeutic interventions targeting the cancer immunopeptidome.

BATF-JUN is critical for IRF4-mediated transcription in T cells

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is an IRF family transcription factor with critical roles in lymphoid development and in regulating the immune response. IRF4 binds DNA weakly owing to a carboxy-terminal auto-inhibitory domain, but cooperative binding with factors such as PU.1 or SPIB in B cells increases binding affinity, allowing IRF4 to regulate genes containing ETS–IRF composite elements (EICEs; 5'-GGAAnnGAAA-3'). Here we show that in mouse CD4+ T cells, where PU.1/SPIB expression is low, and in B cells, where PU.1 is well expressed, IRF4 unexpectedly can cooperate with activator protein-1 (AP1) complexes to bind to AP1–IRF4 composite (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3') motifs that we denote as AP1–IRF composite elements (AICEs). Moreover, BATF–JUN family protein complexes cooperate with IRF4 in binding to AICEs in pre-activated CD4+ T cells stimulated with IL-21 and in TH17 differentiated cells. Importantly, BATF binding was diminished in Irf4-/- T cells and IRF4 binding was diminished in Batf-/- T cells, consistent with functional cooperation between these factors. Moreover, we show that AP1 and IRF complexes cooperatively promote transcription of the Il10 gene, which is expressed in TH17 cells and potently regulated by IL-21. These findings reveal that IRF4 can signal via complexes containing ETS or AP1 motifs depending on the cellular context, thus indicating new approaches for modulating IRF4-dependent transcription. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of IRF4, BATF, IRF8, STAT3, JUN etc in WT, Irf4-/- and Batf-/- mice in different cell types (B cells, CD4+ T cells and TH17 cells) cultured with or without IL-21 was conducted. RNA-Seq is conducted in mouse B cells, CD4+ T cells, TH1/TH2/TH9/TH17/Treg.
