Dual Functions of TAF7L in Adipocyte Differentiation

Here we report that TAF7L, a paralogue of TFIID subunit TAF7, is enriched in adipocytes and white fat tissue (WAT) in mouse. Depletion of TAF7L reduced adipocyte-specific gene expression, compromised adipocyte differentiation, and WAT development as well. Ectopic expression of TAF7L in myoblasts reprograms these muscle precursors into adipocytes upon induction. Genome-wide mRNA-seq expression profiling and ChIP-seq binding studies confirmed that TAF7L is required for activating adipocyte-specific genes via a dual mechanism wherein it interacts with PPARγ at enhancers and TBP/Pol II at core promoters.

Crystal Structure of a TAF1-TAF7 Complex in Human Transcription Factor IID Reveals a Promoter Binding Module

TAF1, the largest in- tegral subunit of TFIID, contains an evolutionarily conserved yet poorly characterized central core domain, whose specific mutation disrupts cell proliferation in the temperature-sensitive mutant hamster cell line ts13. Although the impaired TAF1 function in the ts13 mutant has been associated with defective transcriptional regulation of cell cycle genes, the mechanism by which TAF1 mediates transcription as part of TFIID remains unclear. Here, we present the crystal structure of the human TAF1 central core domain in complex with another conserved TFIID subunit, TAF7, which biochemically solubilizes TAF1. The TAF1-TAF7 complex displays an inter-digitated compact architecture, featuring an unexpected TAF1 winged helix (WH) domain mounted on top of a heterodimeric triple barrel. The single TAF1 residue altered in the ts13 mutant is buried at the junction of these two structural domains. We show that the TAF1 WH domain has intrinsic DNA-binding activity, which depends on characteristic residues that are commonly used by WH fold proteins for interacting with DNA.

Structures of Three Distinct Activator–TFIID Complexes

Although it has been established that activators can interact with multiple components of TFIID, it is unknown whether common or distinct surfaces within TFIID are targeted by activators and what changes if any in the structure of TFIID may occur upon binding activators. As a first step toward structurally dissecting activator/TFIID interactions, we determined the three-dimensional structures of TFIID bound to three distinct activators (i.e., the tumor suppressor p53 protein, glutamine-rich Sp1 and the oncoprotein c-Jun) and compared their structures as determined by electron microscopy and single-particle reconstruction. By a combination of EM and biochemical mapping analysis, our results uncover distinct contact regions within TFIID bound by each activator. Unlike the coactivator CRSP/Mediator complex that undergoes drastic and global structural changes upon activator binding, instead, a rather confined set of local conserved structural changes were observed when each activator binds holo- TFIID.

Taf4b and Jun/Activating Protein-1 Collaborate to Regulate the Expression of Integrin Α6 and Cancer Cell Migration Properties
Published OnlineFirst March 30, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-09-0159 Molecular Signaling and Regulation Cancer Research TAF4b and Jun/Activating Protein-1 Collaborate to Regulate the Expression of Integrin α6 and Cancer Cell Migration Properties Margarita Kalogeropoulou1, Angeliki Voulgari1, Vassiliki Kostourou2, Raphael Sandaltzopoulos3, Rivka Dikstein4, Irwin Davidson5, Laszlo Tora4, and Alexander Pintzas1 Abstract The TAF4b subunit of the transcription factor IID, which has a central role in transcription by polymerase II, is involved in promoter recognition by selective recruitment of activators. The activating protein-1 (AP-1) fam- ily members participate in oncogenic transformation via gene regulation. Utilizing immunoprecipitation of en- dogenous protein complexes, we documented specific interactions between Jun family members and TATA box binding protein–associated factors (TAF) in colon HT29 adenocarcinoma cells. Particularly, TAF4b and c-Jun were found to colocalize and interact in the nucleus of advanced carcinoma cells and in cells with epithelial-to- mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics. TAF4b was found to specifically regulate the AP-1 target gene involved in EMT integrin α6, thus altering related cellular properties such as migration potential. Using a chro- matin immunoprecipitation approach in colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, we further identified a synergistic role for TAF4b and c-Jun and other AP-1 family members on the promoter of integrin α6, underlining the existence of a specific mechanism related to gene expression control. We show evidence for the first time of an interde- pendence of TAF4b and AP-1 family members in cell type–specific promoter recognition and initiation of tran- scription in the context of cancer progression and EMT.

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), a common malignancy in patients with Neurofibromatosis, and colorectal cancer are midkine- producing tumors with high mortality rates. In vitro and preclinical xenograft models of MPNST were utilized in this dissertation to study the role of midkine (MDK), a tumor-specific gene over- expressed in these tumors and to test the efficacy of a MDK-transcriptionally targeted oncolytic HSV-1 (oHSV).

The HUSH Complex Cooperates with TRIM28 to Repress Young Retrotransposons and New Genes
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on September 24, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Research The HUSH complex cooperates with TRIM28 to repress young retrotransposons and new genes Luisa Robbez-Masson,1 Christopher H.C.

Here, we asked if the human silencing hub (HUSH) complex is nec- essary to silence retrotransposons and whether it collaborates with TRIM28 and the chromatin remodeler ATRX at specific genomic loci. We show that the HUSH complex contributes to de novo repression and DNA methylation of an SVA retro- transposon reporter. By using naıvë versus primed mouse pluripotent stem cells, we reveal a critical role for the HUSH com- plex in naıvë cells, implicating it in programming epigenetic marks in development. Although the HUSH component FAM208A binds to endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and long interspersed element-1s (LINE-1s or L1s), it is mainly required to repress evolutionarily young L1s (mouse-specific lineages <5 million years old). TRIM28, in contrast, is necessary to repress both ERVs and young L1s. Genes co-repressed by TRIM28 and FAM208A are evolutionarily young, or exhibit tissue-specific expression, are enriched in young L1s, and display evidence for regulation through LTR promoters.
