Project description:Stomata are pores in the epidermis of plants that can open and close and allow for gas exchange vital for photosynthesis and regulate transpiration. Stomatal development is driven by a set of conserved bHLH transcription factors (SPCH, MUTE, FAMA, and their heterodimerization partners ICE1, SCRM2), that initiate and promote progression of cell fates in the stomatal lineage. Due to the shared ancestry of SPCH, MUTE and FAMA (subgroup Ia) and ICE1 and SCRM2 (subgroup IIIb) their DNA binding specificity is similar and there is some functional redundancy. However, individual bHLHs also have unique functions. For example, SPCH is required for initiation of the stomatal lineage, while FAMA is responsible for terminal differentiation of the guard cell pair. In grasses, the stomatal complex comprises the guard cell pair, and two flanking subsidiary cells. Recruitment of the latter from neighboring cell filed during development requires expression of MUTE. Remarkably, while MUTE is absolutely required for the promotion of guard mother cell fate in maize and rice, this is not the case in Brachypodium. This suggests that another TF can at least partially substitute for MUTE in this function. While different expression profiles of the bHLH dimers within the stomatal lineage may partially responsible for distinct functions of each pair, it is likely that each pair forms different transcriptional complexes and that interaction with other transcriptional regulators affects the dimer’s binding DNA binding and gene regulation properties. Given the differences in bHLH function between dicots and grasses and even within the grass family, we were interested in elucidating the protein interaction networks of the stomatal lineage regulators in Brachypodium. To this end, we performed co-immunoprecipitation coupled to LC-MS/MS of BdSPCH2-YFP, YFP-BdMUTE, YFP-BdFAMA, YFP-ICE1 and YFP-SCRM2 from the developmental zone of young B. distachyon leaves using GFP-Trap beads. All YFP-fusion proteins were expressed under the endogenous promoter in the Bd21-3 background. The only exception was BdICE1, which was expressed under the ZmUBI promoter, but was nevertheless mostly restricted to the stomatal lineage. As control lines we use the Bd21-3 wild type and a line expressing 3x YFPnls (nuclear YFP) under the MUTE promoter. Comparison of proteins enriched with the bHLH fusion proteins vs. the controls revealed overlapping and distinct putative interactors, which is in agreement with the assumption that these transcription factors have both shared and unique functions. Notably, in addition to the presumed hetero-dimerization partners, we found a number of other bHLH transcription factors that were identified with one or more of the bait proteins. This suggests the presence of a larger bHLH network acting in the stomatal lineage.

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) play a central role in regulating gene expression by interacting with cis regulatory DNA elements associated with their target genes. Recent surveys have examined the DNA binding specificities of most Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factors but a comprehensive evaluation of their data has been lacking. Results: We analyzed in vitro and in vivo TF-DNA binding data reported in previous large-scale studies to generate a comprehensive, curated resource of DNA binding specificity data for all characterized S. cerevisiae transcription factors. Our collection comprises DNA binding site motifs and comprehensive in vitro DNA binding specificity data for all possible 8 bp sequences. Included in this database is DNA binding specificity data for 27 TFs independently generated by PBM analysis in this current study. Investigation of the DNA binding specificities within the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) and VHR transcription factor families revealed unexpected plasticity in TF-DNA recognition: intriguingly, the VHR transcription factors, newly characterized by protein binding microarrays in this study, recognize bZIP like DNA motifs, while the bZIP transcription factor Hac1 recognizes a motif highly similar to the canonical E-box motif of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. We identified several transcription factors with distinct primary and secondary motifs, which might be associated with different regulatory functions. Finally, integrated analysis of in vivo transcription factor binding data with protein binding microarray data lends further support for indirect DNA binding in vivo by sequence-specific transcription factors.

Project description:<p>Most pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) do not produce symptoms of hormonal excess and are hence considered “non-functional”. Their clinical behaviors vary widely, emphasizing the need for a robust classification with prognostic power. Using enhancer maps to infer regulatory programs, we find that the large majority of non-functional PNETs fall into two major sub-types that reflect alpha and beta endocrine cell ontogeny, respectively. Tumors of the different subtypes have similar clinical presentations and histology, but express distinct lineage-specifying transcription factors, ARX or PDX1. Here we provide the raw ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data of the PNET cohort in this study, as well as ChIP-seq data of ileal carcinoids.</p>

Project description:DNA sequence is a major determinant of the binding specificity of transcription factors (TFs) for their genomic targets. However, eukaryotic cells often express, at the same time, TFs with highly similar DNA binding motifs but distinct in vivo targets. Currently, it is not well understood how TFs with seemingly identical DNA motifs achieve unique specificities in vivo. Here, we used custom protein binding microarrays to analyze TF specificity for putative binding sites in their genomic sequence context. Using yeast TFs Cbf1 and Tye7 as our case study, we found that binding sites of these bHLH TFs (i.e., E-boxes) are bound differently in vitro and in vivo, depending on their genomic context. Computational analyses suggest that nucleotides outside E-box binding sites contribute to specificity by influencing the 3D structure of DNA binding sites. Thus, local shape of target sites might play a widespread role in achieving regulatory specificity within TF families. Two protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments of Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factors were performed. Briefly, the PBMs involved binding GST-tagged yeast transcription factors Cbf1 and Tye7 to double-stranded 44K Agilent microarrays in order to determine the accuracy of our regression models for TF-DNA binding specificity. Briefly, this array contains 30-bp genomic sequences from our initial custom array (Gordan et al 2013, submitted), with 0 through 4 mutations designed at various positions in the genomic sequences. Each sequence in represented in 6 replicate spots. We report the PBM signal intensity for each spot. The PBM protocol is described in Berger et al., Nature Biotechnology 2006 (PMID 16998473).
