Project description:The Nuclear Factor I (NFI) family of transcription factors (TFs) plays key roles in cellular differentiation, proliferation, and homeostasis. As such, NFI family members engage in large number of interactions with other proteins and the chromatin. However, despite their well-established significance, the NFIs interactomes, their dynamics, and their functions have not been comprehensively examined. Here, we employed complementary omics-level techniques, i.e. interactomics (affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) and proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID)), and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq), to obtain a comprehensive view of the NFI proteins and their interactions. Our analyses included all four main NFI family members, and a less studied short isoform of NFIB (NFIB4), which lacks the DNA binding domain. We observed that, despite exhibiting some redundancy, each family member had unique high-confidence interactors and target genes, highlighting distinct roles within the transcriptional regulatory networks. The study revealed that NFIs interact with a large number of other TFs to co-regulate a broad range of regulatory networks and cellular processes. Notably, time-dependent proximity-labeling unveiled a highly dynamic nature of NFI protein-protein interaction networks and hinted at temporal modulation of NFI interactions. Furthermore, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of NFI interactome and targetome revealed the involvement of NFIs in transcriptional regulation, chromatin organization, and cellular signaling pathways, and pathways related with cancer. Additionally, we observed that NFIB4 engages with proteins associated with mRNA regulation, which suggests that NFIs have roles beyond traditional DNA binding and transcriptional modulation. We propose that NFIs serve as pioneering TFs, playing critical roles in regulating other TFs and influencing a wide range of cellular processes. These insights into NFI protein-protein interactions and their dynamic, context-dependent nature provide a deeper understanding of gene regulation mechanisms and hint at the role of NFIs as master regulators.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. In high-risk subjects, the earliest detectable abnormality is insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Impaired insulin-mediated signaling, gene expression, and glycogen synthesis, and accumulation of intramyocellular triglycerides have all been linked with insulin resistance, but no specific defect responsible for insulin resistance and DM has been identified in humans. To identify genes potentially important in the pathogenesis of DM, we analyzed gene expression in skeletal muscle from healthy metabolically characterized nondiabetic (family history negative and positive for DM) and diabetic Mexican-American subjects. We demonstrate that insulin resistance and DM associate with reduced expression of multiple nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1)-dependent genes encoding key enzymes in oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial function. While NRF-1 expression is decreased only in diabetic subjects, expression of both PPARg coactivator 1-alpha and -beta (PGC1-a/PPARGC1, and PGC1-b/PERC), coactivators of NRF-1 and PPARg-dependent transcription, is decreased in both diabetic subjects and family history positive nondiabetic subjects. Decreased PGC1 expression may be responsible for decreased expression of NRFdependent genes, leading to the metabolic disturbances characteristic of insulin resistance and DM. Human muscle samples were obtained from five subjects with type 2 diabetes and ten subjects without diabetes, as well as 5 aliquots from a single subject without diabetes. The subjects without diabetes were further classified as family history positive (four subjects) or family history negative (six subjects).

Project description:Small mammals, such as mice, rely on the rapid contraction of skeletal muscles to achieve swift movements. These capabilities are enabled by type IIb myofibers, which express the fastest myosin IIb in limb muscles, encoded by MYH4. In contrast, larger mammals, including humans, exhibit a marked reduction or complete absence of type IIb myofibers and MYH4 expression, favoring slower-contracting myofiber types. The evolutionary shift away from MYH4 expression in larger mammals and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Previously, we identified the large Maf transcription factor family (Mafa, Mafb, Maf) as principal regulators of type IIb myofiber determination in mice. Here, we provide the first evidence that the large MAFs specifically induces MYH4 expression in the skeletal muscles of large mammals, including humans and bovine. Furthermore, induction of MYH4 by large MAFs significantly enhances the glycolytic capacity of human myotubes, as evidenced by flux analyzer data and RNA-seq showing the upregulation of numerous genes associated with glucose metabolism. Lastly, RNA-seq analysis of human muscle biopsies reveals a positive correlation between MAFA, MAF, and MYH4 expression. Our findings propose that the large MAFs promotes the formation of the fastest type IIb myofibers in the skeletal muscles of large mammals. This discovery not only elucidates the mechanisms underlying the loss of type IIb myofibers in larger mammals but also holds potential implications for enhancing athletic performance and counteracting the loss of fast-twitch myofibers associated with aging.

Project description:The use of adult skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for cell therapy has been attempted for decades, but still encounters considerable difficulties. MuSCs derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are promising candidates for stem cell therapy to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Here we report that four transcription factors, HEYL, KLF4, MYOD, and PAX3, selected by comprehensive screening of different MuSC populations, enhance the derivation of PAX3-positive myogenic progenitors from fibroblasts and hiPSCs, using medium that promotes the formation of presomitic mesoderm. These induced PAX3-positive cells contribute efficiently to the repair of DMD-damaged myofibers and also reconstitute the MuSC population. These studies demonstrate how a combination of core transcription factors can fine-tune the derivation of MuSCs capable of contributing to the repair of adult skeletal muscle.

Project description:Transcription factor-DNA interactions and their specificities have been described for many different classes of transcription factor families. However, heterodimeric transcription factor complexes still remain poorly characterised. The basic-Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor family is one of the largest transcription factor families that typically bind DNA though a degenerate CANNTG elements as heterodimers or homodimers. Here we characterise the DNA binding of the bHLH - Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) (bHLH-PAS) domain containing transcription factor family using SELEX-high-throughput sequencing coupled with quantitative computational modelling analysis. We show that most dimeric bHLH-PAS transcription factors bind to distinct core NNCGTG response elements but bind over a much larger footprint than previously characterised. Modelled DNA-protein interactions were found to correlate with structural analysis, DNA shape predictions and in vivo transcription factor occupancy.

Project description:In adult mouse skeletal muscle, beta-myosin heavy chain (betaMyHC) gene expression is primarily restricted to slow type I fibers; however, its expression can be induced in fast type II fibers in response to a sustained increase in load-bearing work (mechanical overload [MOV]). Our previous betaMyHC transgenic and protein-DNA interaction studies have identified an A/T-rich element (betaA/T-rich -269/-258) that is required for slow muscle expression and which potentiates MOV responsiveness of a 293-bp betaMyHC promoter (beta293wt). Despite the GATA/MEF2-like homology of this element, we found binding of two unknown proteins that were antigenically distinct from GATA and MEF2 isoforms. By using the betaA/T-rich element as bait in a yeast one-hybrid screen of an MOV-plantaris cDNA library, we identified nominal transcription enhancer factor 1 (NTEF-1) as the specific betaA/T-rich binding factor. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay analysis confirmed that NTEF-1 represents the enriched binding activity obtained only when the betaA/T-rich element is reacted with MOV-plantaris nuclear extract. Moreover, we show that TEF proteins bind MEF2 elements located in the control region of a select set of muscle genes. In transient-coexpression assays using mouse C2C12 myotubes, TEF proteins transcriptionally activated a 293-bp betaMyHC promoter devoid of any muscle CAT (MCAT) sites, as well as a minimal thymidine kinase promoter-luciferase reporter gene driven by three tandem copies of the desmin MEF2 or palindromic Mt elements or four tandem betaA/T-rich elements. These novel findings suggest that in addition to exerting a regulatory effect by binding MCAT elements, TEF proteins likely contribute to regulation of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle gene networks by binding select A/T-rich and MEF2 elements under basal and hypertrophic conditions.
