Transcription factors harbor functional RNA-binding domains

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrate the gene expression programs that define each cell’s identity, and the canonical TF accomplishes this with two functional domains1–7. The DNA-binding domain interacts with specific genomic sequences, and the effector domain binds coactivators or co-repressors that contribute to transcriptional regulation. We report here that TFs also frequently contain an RNA-binding domain and that this also contributes to gene regulation. Nearly half of TFs in human cells show evidence of RNA-binding and their affinities for RNA are similar to those of well-studied RNA-binding proteins. The RNA-binding sites of TFs have sequence and functional features analogous to the arginine-rich motif of the HIV transcriptional activator Tat8,9. RNA-binding contributes to TF function by promoting the dynamic association of TFs with chromatin. We conclude that the canonical definition of transcription factors is incomplete, and that the ability of many TFs to bind DNA, RNA and protein is fundamental to gene regulation.

Transcription factor binding in human cells occurs in dense clusters formed around cohesin anchor sites [GP5d/siRAD21 ChIP-Seq experiments]

Project description:During cell division, transcription factors (TFs) are removed from chromatin twice, during DNA synthesis, and during condensation of chromosomes. How TFs can efficiently find their sites following these stages has been unclear. Here, we have analyzed the binding pattern of expressed TFs in human colorectal cancer cells. We find that binding of TFs is highly clustered, and that the clusters are enriched in binding motifs for several major TF classes. Strikingly, almost all clusters are formed around cohesin, and loss of cohesin decreases both DNA accessibility and binding of TFs to clusters. We show that cohesin remains bound in S phase, holding the nascent sister chromatids together at the TF cluster sites. Furthermore, cohesin remains bound to the cluster sites when TFs are evicted in early M-phase. These results suggest that cohesin binding functions as a cellular memory that promotes re- stablishment of TF clusters after DNA replication and chromatin condensation. Examination of TF binding by ChIP-seq in a CRC cell-line treated with non-targeting siRNA, or siRNA specific to the cohesin subunit RAD21.

DNase I hypersensitivity and algorithmic prediction of TF binding in early pancreatic mES directed differentiation

Project description:This dataset uses DNase-seq to profile the genome-wide DNase I hypersensitivity of mES and mES-derived cells along an early pancreatic lineage and provides the locations of putative Transcription Factor (TF) binding sites using the PIQ algorithm. DNase-seq takes advantage of the preferential cutting of DNase I in open chromatin and steric blockage of of DNase I by tightly bound TFs that protect associated genomic DNA sequences. After deep sequencing of DNase IM-bM-^@M-^Sdigested genomic DNA from intact nuclei, genome-wide data on chromatin accessibility as well as TF-specific DNase I protection profiles that reveal the genomic binding locations of a majority of TFs are obtained. Such TF signature M-bM-^@M-^XDNase profilesM-bM-^@M-^Y reflect the effect of the TF on DNA shape and local chromatin architecture, extending hundreds of base pairs from a TF binding site, and these profiles are centered on M-bM-^@M-^XDNase footprintsM-bM-^@M-^Y at the binding motif itself, which reflects the biophysics of protein-DNA binding. An algorithm, PIQ, is then applied that models the specific profile of each factor, and in combination with sequence information predicts the likely binding locations of over 700 TFs genome wide. This dataset includes DNase-seq hypersensitivity data from 6 mES-derived cell types: mESC, Mesendoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm, Intestinal Endoderm, and Prepancreatic Endoderm. For each cell type, TF binding site predictions are made based on the identification TF-specific DNase-seq profiles over any of 1331 possible binding motifs. After significance thesholding, genome-wide binding site predictions for <700 TFs are included.

Transcription factor trapping by RNA in gene regulatory elements (CLIP-Seq)

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific sequences in promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements in order to regulate gene transcription. RNA is transcribed from both promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements, and some DNA-binding TFs have also been shown to bind RNA. These obsevations led us to postulate that RNA transcribed from regulatory elements contributes to stable TF occupancy at these regulatory elements. We show here that the ubiquitously expressed TF YY1 binds to both proximal and distal regulatory elements and to the RNA species associated with these elements near active genes in embryonic stem cells. Inhibition of transcription from these elements reduces YY1 occupancy. In contrast, tethering of RNA species near YY1 DNA binding sites enhances YY1 occupancy. We propose that RNA acts as trap to maintain certain TFs at active enhancer and promoter-proximal regulatory elements. Thus, transcriptional control generally involves a positive feedback loop, where YY1 and other TFs stimulate local transcription, and newly transcribed nascent RNA reinforces local TF occupancy. This model helps explain why TFs occupy only the small fraction of their consensus motifs in the mammalian genome where transcription is detected. CLIP-Seq for YY1 in mouse embryonic stem cells

Genome-scale analysis in blood progenitor and mast cells reveals how lineage-affiliated transcription factors control distinct regulatory programs [Beadchip Experiments]

Project description:Despite major advances in the generation of genome-wide binding maps, the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TFs) regulate cell type identity have remained largely obscure. Through comparative analysis of 10 key haematopoietic TFs in both mast cells and blood progenitors, we demonstrate that the largely cell-type specific binding profiles are not opportunistic, but instead contribute to cell-type specific transcriptional control, because (1) mathematical modelling of differential binding of shared TFs can explain differential gene expression, (2) cell-type specific binding is largely mediated through consensus binding sites, and (3) knock-down of blood stem cell regulators Gata2 and Erg in mast cells reveals mast cell specific genes as direct targets. Finally we show that the known mast cell regulators Mitf and c-Fos likely contribute to the global reorganisation of TF binding profiles. Taken together therefore, our study elucidates how key regulatory TFs contribute to transcriptional programmes in several distinct mammalian cell types. Total RNA from primary mast cells transfected with retroviral shRNA vectors were compared to negative controls (shRNA against luciferase).

Nucleosome positioning in A549 cells before/after NME2 induction

Project description:Previous studies have analyzed patterns of transcription, transcription factor (TF) binding or mapped nucleosome occupancy across the genome. These suggest that the three aspects are genetically connected but the cause and effect relationships are still unknown. For example, physiologic TF binding studies involve many TFs, consequently, it is difficult to assign nucleosome reorganization to the binding site occupancy of any particular TF. Therefore, several aspects remain unclear: does TF binding influence nucleosome (re)organizations locally (in close vicinity of their binding sites) or impact the chromatin landscape at a more global level; are all or only a fraction of TF binding a result of reorganization in nucleosome occupancy; finally, do all TF binding and associated nucleosome occupancy changes result in altered gene expression? With these in mind, we sought to study a single TF that induces physiological changes, and following characterization of the two states (before and after induction of the TF) we determined: (a) genomic binding sites of the TF, (b) promoter nucleosome occupancy and (c) transcriptome profiles, independently in both conditions. Results demonstrate that TF binding influences expression of the target gene only when it is coupled to nucleosome repositioning at or close to its binding site, and not when transcription factor binding occurs without local associated nucleosome reorganization.

Base-resolution methylation patterns accurately predict transcription factor bindings in vivo

Project description:Detecting in vivo transcription factor (TF) binding is important for understanding gene regulatory circuitries. ChIP-seq is a powerful technique to empirically define TF binding in vivo. However, the multitude of distinct TFs makes genome-wide profiling for them all labor-intensive and costly. Algorithms for in silico prediction of TF binding have been developed, based mostly on histone modification or DNase I hypersensitivity data in conjunction with DNA motif and other genomic features. However, technical limitations of these methods prevent them from being applied broadly, especially in clinical settings. We conducted a comprehensive survey involving multiple cell lines, TFs, and methylation types and found that there are intimate relationships between TF binding and methylation level changes around the binding sites. Exploiting the connection between DNA methylation and TF binding, we proposed a novel supervised learning approach to predict TF-DNA interaction using data from base-resolution whole-genome methylation sequencing experiments. We devised beta-binomial models to characterize methylation data around TF binding sites and the background. Along with other static genomic features, we adopted a random forest framework to predict TF-DNA interaction. After conducting comprehensive tests, we saw that the proposed method accurately predicts TF binding and performs favorably versus competing methods.
