Cooperation between architectural C2H2 proteins in CP190 recruitment to Drosophila regulatory elements [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: CTCF is the best-studied architectural protein that is highly conserved among animals, including Drosophila and mammals. In Drosophila, CTCF is involved in the organization of functional promoters and insulators, in cooperation with many other architectural proteins, including Su(Hw) and Pita. These proteins, like many other architectural proteins, interact with CP190, which, along with its partners, recruits transcriptional complexes to target promoters. This study was conducted to investigate the cooperation between architectural proteins in the recruitment of CP190 to regulatory elements. We generated transgenic flies expressing double and triple mutants of dCTCF, Su(Hw), and Pita that cannot interact with CP190. The single mutants are fully viable; however, few triple mutants develop into adults. In the triple mutant, although the CP190 concentration is reduced, the level of gene transcription remains unaltered, suggesting that co-expression of the three mutant proteins is responsible for CP190 instability. ChIP-seq analysis showed that CP190 is required for dCTCF–chromatin binding. In the triple mutant, CP190 demonstrates an almost complete loss of association with the promoters and insulators to which the tested architectural proteins bind; however, these regulatory elements were found to retain their activity. Architectural proteins cooperate to recruit CP190 to regulatory elements and determine its stability. Despite the important role of CP190 in transcriptional regulation, its functions may be partially performed by partner proteins.

Genome-wide binding of two new insulator-like proteins Pita and ZIPIC

Project description:Insulators are multiprotein–DNA complexes that regulate nuclear architecture. The Drosophila CP190 protein is a common cofactor of two main insulator complexes formed by the DNA-binding proteins Su(Hw) and dCTCF. Here, we have identified two new DNA-binding proteins, Pita and ZIPIC, that interact with CP190. In vitro, CP190 interacts with Pita through the BTB domain and with ZIPIC through the centrosomal targeting domain. The artificial binding sites for Pita or ZIPIC partially block enhancers and protect gene expression from PRE-mediated silencing in transgenic lines. Pita binds adjacent to dCTCF in the well-studied Mcp insulator and is required for its activity, which indicates that two insulator proteins can cooperate in organizing a functional insulator. Pita and ZIPIC preferentially bind to the promoter regions and extensively colocalize with dCTCF and BEAF. These results suggest that insulator proteins can fulfill multiple functions in chromosome architecture and gene expression.

Genome-wide binding profiles of Drosophila melanogaster insulator proteins in Kc and Mbn2 cells

Project description:ChIP-chip experiments with NimbleGen whole-genome tiling arrays to compare Su(Hw), dCTCF, BEAF, and CP190 localization on DNA in Kc and Mbn2 cells revealed that BEAF is a third subclass of CP190-containing insulators. The DNA binding proteins, Su(Hw), dCTCF, and BEAF show unique distribution patterns with respect to the location and expression level of genes, suggesting diverse roles for these three subclasses of insulators in genome organization. Notably, cell line specific localization sites for all three DNA binding proteins as well as CP190 indicate multiple levels at which insulators can be regulated to affect gene expression.

Genomewide analysis of Insulator protein binding sites in Drosophila embryos at E0-12

Project description:Insulators are DNA sequences that control the interactions among genomic regulatory elements and act as chromatin boundaries. A thorough understanding of their location and function is necessary to address the complexities of metazoan gene regulation. We studied by ChIP-chip the genome-wide binding sites of 6 insulator-associated proteins – dCTCF, CP190, BEAF-32, Su(Hw), Mod(mdg4) and GAF – to obtain the first comprehensive map of insulator elements in Drosophila embryos. We identify over 14,000 putative insulators, including all previously known insulators. We find two major classes of insulators defined by dCTCF/CP190/BEAF-32 and Su(Hw) respectively. Distributional analyses of insulators revealed that particular sub-classes of insulator elements are excluded between cis-regulatory elements and their target promoters, divide differentially expressed, alternative, and divergent promoters, act as chromatin boundaries, are associated with chromosomal breakpoints among species, and are embedded within active chromatin domains. Together, these results provide a map demarcating the boundaries of gene regulatory units, and a framework for understanding insulator function during the development and evolution of Drosophila.

New Drosophila promoter-associated architectural protein Mzfp1 interacts with CP190 and is required for housekeeping gene expression and insulator activity [RNA-seq]

Project description:In Drosophila, a group of zinc finger architectural proteins recruits the CP190 protein to the chromatin, an interaction that is essential for the functional activity of promoters and insulators. In this study, we describe a new architectural C2H2 protein called Madf and Zinc-Finger Protein 1 (Mzfp1) that interacts with CP190. Mzfp1 has an unusual structure that includes six C2H2 domains organized in a C-terminal cluster and two tandem MADF domains. Mzfp1 predominantly binds to housekeeping gene promoters located in both euchromatin and heterochromatin genome regions. In vivo mutagenesis studies showed that Mzfp1 is an essential protein, and both MADF domains and the CP190 interaction region are required for its functional activity. The C2H2 cluster is sufficient for the specific binding of Mzfp1 to regulatory elements, while the second MADF domain is required for Mzfp1 recruitment to heterochromatin. Mzfp1 binds to the proximal part of the Fub boundary that separates regulatory domains of the Ubx and abd-A genes in the Bithorax complex. Mzfp1 participates in Fub functions in cooperation with the architectural proteins Pita and Su(Hw). Thus, Mzfp1 is a new architectural C2H2 protein involved in the organization of active promoters and insulators in Drosophila.
