FOXM1 binds directly to non-consensus sequences in the human genome

ABSTRACT: The Forkhead transcription factor, FOXM1, is a key regulator of the cell cycle and is over-expressed in most types of cancer. FOXM1, similar to other Forkhead (FKH) factors binds to a canonical FKH motif in vitro. However, genome-wide mapping studies in different cell lines have shown a lack of enrichment of the FKH motif at FOXM1 binding sites suggesting an alternative mode of chromatin recruitment. We have investigated the role of direct versus indirect DNA binding in FOXM1 recruitment by performing ChIP-seq with WT and DNA binding deficient FOXM1. An in vitro fluorescence polarization (FP) assay was used to identify point mutations in the DNA binding domain (DBD) of FOXM1 that inhibit binding to a FKH consensus sequence. Stable cell lines expressing either WT or DBD mutant green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged FOXM1 were utilized for genome-wide mapping studies comparing the distribution of the DBD mutant protein to the WT. This showed that interaction of the DBD of FOXM1 with target DNA is essential for recruitment. Moreover, analysis of protein interactome of the WT versus DBD mutant FOXM1 showed that the reduced recruitment is not due to the mutation inhibiting protein-protein interactions. This study showed that a functional DBD domain is essential for FOXM1 chromatin recruitment. Even in FOXM1 mutants that show almost complete loss of binding the protein-protein interactome and pattern of phosphorylation are largely unaffected. These results strongly support a model whereby FOXM1 is specifically recruited to chromatin through co-factor interactions by binding directly to both canonical and non-canonical DNA sequences.

The NF-kB genomic landscape in lymphoblastoid B-cells

Project description:The nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) subunits RelA, RelB, c-Rel, p50 and p52 are each critical for B-cell development and function. To systematically characterize their responses to canonical and non-canonical NF-kB pathways activity, we performed ChIP-seq analysis in lymphoblastoid B-cells. We found a surprisingly complex NF-kB binding landscape, which did not readily reflect the two NF-kB pathway paradigm. Instead, ten subunit binding patterns were observed at promoters and eleven at enhancers. Surprisingly, nearly one-third of NF-kB binding sites lacked kB motifs. De novo motif finding uncovered distinct modes of NF-kB recruitment at these sites. The oncogenic forkhead box protein FOXM1 and NF-kB co-occupied many kB sites despite the absence of a FOXM1 DNA motif. FoxM1 knockdown decreased expression of key NF-kB targets and caused apoptosis. Our study highlights opportunities for selective therapeutic NF-kB blockade. ChIP-seq was used to define the genomic landscape of NF-kB DNA binding in lymphoblastoid cells.

Genome-wide mapping of FOXM1 binding sites

Project description:There are nearly fifty forkhead (FOX) transcription factors encoded in the human genome and due to sharing a common DNA binding domain, they are all thought to bind to similar DNA sequences. It is therefore unclear how these transcription factors are targeted to specific chromatin regions to elicit specific biological effects. Here we used ChIP-seq to investigate the genome-wide chromatin binding mechanisms used by the forkhead transcription factor FOXM1. In keeping with its previous association with cell cycle control, we demonstrate that FOXM1 binds and regulates a group of genes which are mainly involved in controlling late cell cycle events in the G2 and M phases. However, rather than being recruited through canonical RYAAAYA forkhead binding motifs, FOXM1 binding is directed via CHR elements. FOXM1 binds these elements through protein-protein interactions with the MMB transcriptional activator complex. Thus, we have uncovered a novel and unexpected mode of chromatin binding of a FOX transcription factor which allows it to specifically control cell cycle-dependent gene expression.

Suppression of the FOXM1 transcriptional program via novel small molecule inhibition

Project description:The transcription factor FOXM1 binds to sequence-specific motifs on DNA (C/TAAACA) through its DNA binding domain (DBD), and activates proliferation- and differentiation-associated genes. Aberrant overexpression of FOXM1 is a key feature in oncogenesis and progression of many human cancers. Herein we identify novel inhibitors of FOXM1 that block DNA binding from a high-throughput screen applied to a library of 54,211 small molecules. One compound, FDI-6 (NCGC00099374) is studied in depth and is shown to bind directly to FOXM1 protein, displace the transcription factor from genomic targets in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and induce concomitant transcriptional down-regulation. Global transcript profiling of MCF-7 cells by RNA-seq shows that FDI-6 specifically down regulates FOXM1-activated genes with FOXM1 occupancy confirmed by ChIP-seq. This small molecule mediated effect is selective for FOXM1-controlled genes with no effect on genes regulated by homologous forkhead family factors.

Genome-wide mapping of FOXM1 binding reveals co-binding with oestrogen receptor alpha in breast cancer cells (expression)

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor FOXM1 is a key regulator of the cell cycle and is overexpressed in cancer. Increased levels of FOXM1 are associated with both poor prognosis and oestrogen receptor (ERalpha) status in primary breast cancer. In this study, we map FOXM1 binding genome wide in both ERalpha-positive (MCF-7) and -negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. We identify a common set of FOXM1 binding events at cell cycle-regulating genes, but in addition, in MCF-7 cells we find a high level of concordance with ERalpha-binding regions. FOXM1 binding at these co-binding sites is dependent on ERalpha binding, as depletion of ER protein levels reduced FOXM1 binding. FOXM1 interacts directly with both ERalpha co-activator CARM1 and is required for H3 arginine methylation at the ERalpha complex. Inhibition of FOXM1 activity with the ligand thiostrepton resulted in decreased FOXM1 binding at cca. 1400 sites genome wide and reduced expression of genes correlated with poor prognosis in ERalpha-positive tumour samples. These data demonstrate a novel role for the forkhead protein FOXM1 as an ERalpha cofactor and provide insight into the role of FOXM1 in ERalpha-positive breast cancer. MCF-7 cells were treated with either thiostrepton or DMSO for 6 hr. Each treatment was carried out in replicates of 6.

Novel Mechanism of Bispecificity in Forkhead Transcription Factors

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor (TF) FoxN3 recognizes both the canonical forkhead DNA motif (RYAAAYA), as well as a novel alternate motif (GACGC). These two motifs are more distinct than the typically observed primary and secondary motifs of other TFs, as the two motifs cannot be aligned and are not clearly related to each other. Amino acids at the canonical base-contacting positions in the forkhead DNA binding domain are largely conserved throughout the forkhead family, so the ability of FoxN3 and other bispecific forkhead factors to recognize the alternate site cannot be explained by amino acid substitutions at these positions. Neither the mechanism of this bispecific DNA recognition nor its regulatory function are understood. Here we show that human FoxN3 does recognize both motifs in cells. We also report the crystal structures of the FoxN3 DNA binding domain bound to the canonical forkhead binding site, and separately to the alternate DNA binding site. FoxN3 adopts a remarkably similar conformation to recognize both motifs, making contacts with different DNA bases using the same amino acids. However, the DNA structure is significantly altered between the two motifs, allowing the same domain to recognize two motifs of different lengths. Changes between the two structures in the conformation of segments of the forkhead domain outside of the direct DNA-contacting positions contribute to the ability to bind the alternate site. Swapping these segments of the domain between different forkhead proteins changes the ability of proteins to recognize the alternate site, highlighting the importance of non-base-contacting positions in determining TF-DNA binding specificity. The structures present a new mechanism by which a single DBD can recognize two divergent sequences.
