Determinants of coactivator LXXLL motif specificity in nuclear receptor transcriptional activation. Genes Dev. 12:1998;3357-3368. The authors dissect the contributions of different LXXLL motifs as determinants for SRC-1/NCoA-1 function. Nuclear microinjection of anti-SRC-1/NCoA-1 antibodies blocked nuclear receptor transactivation. The ability of different LXXLL mutations in the context of SRC-1/NCoA-1 to rescue the block was used as a functional readout for LXXLL specificity, and that demonstrates that these determinants are distinct for different subclasses of receptors.

This study demonstrates for the first time ligand-dependent transactivation by estrogen receptor in vitro. The authors use a crude nuclear extract, but for the first time with a nuclear receptor, utilize chromatin assembled templates that confer a complete dependence by the receptor on estradiol. The study described a potent additional stimulation of ER transactivation by the addition of purified p300. Single-round transcription experiments suggested that one role of ligand could be to promote re-initiation of transcription from ER/p300-recruited pre-initiation complexes.

This study demonstrates that acetyl-CoA and specific co-activator complexes possessing HAT-activity stimulate transcriptional enhancement by activators from chromatin templates in a cell-free system. Both VP16 and yGCN4 interact with and recruit SAGA and NuA4 (but not Ada and Nua3) to nucleosomes to effect transcriptional stimulation which is largely dependent on the addition of acetyl-CoA.

Nature. 393:1998;284-289. The authors use hammer-head ribozymes to selectively inactivate CBP or p300, and demonstrate that these factors are critical to RAR-mediated gene activation. However, CBP and p300 appear to be differentially required by specific genes in retinoic acid-responsive cells.

Nat Genet. 18:1998;126-135. The authors generate PML-RARα and PLZF-RARα transgenic mice, demonstrating for the first time and directly the critical role these fusion proteins play in leukemogenesis, and demonstrating the lack of responsiveness of PLZF-RAR mice to retinoic acid, whereas PML-RAR mice are responsive. They further show that this difference can be correlated to the ability or inability of retinoic acid to induce a dissociation of the corepressor SMRT from PML-RARα versus PLZF-RARα, respectively.

The authors of this paper demonstrate that PML-RARα and PLZF-RARα associate with the HDAC complex, although only PLZF-RARα interacts directly with both SMRT and mSin3A, and that retinoic-acid-dependent dissociation SMRT from the fusion proteins is impaired.

The purification of the first human ISWI-containing ATP-dependent remodeling factor, RSF is described, as well as its functional requirement for initiation of transcription from chromatin templates in a highly purified transcription reaction in vitro. RSF appears to comprise hSNF2h and one additional subunit and also requires the chromatin-selective elongation factor, FACT, for transcription stimulated by the VP16 transactivator.

The deacetylase inhibitor TSA does not, however, inhibit NURD's ability to remodel nucleosomes. Additionally, antibodies directed against the ATPase activity partially relieve thyroid hormone receptor-dependent repression of the TRβa promoter by microinjection experiments in Xenopus oocytes.

49. ••] demonstrate that the vitamin D3 receptor interacts with a large, novel multiprotein complex from transcriptionally active nuclear extracts only in the presence of ligand and is important for nuclear-receptor-mediated transcription in vitro. The DRIP complex is characterized and its identity to the TRAP and ARC coactivator complexes, as well as its relationship to the SRB/Mediator complex, are established. The authors also demonstrate that the DRIP complex is essential for ligand-dependent, nuclear-receptor-mediated transactivation in vitro on chromatin-assembled templates, although the purified, transcriptionally active DRIP complex itself lacks any detectable HAT activity.

Mol Cell. 2:1998;213-222. This isolation of a multi-subunit complex, called NAT, by standard biochemical approaches and affinity chromatography using an anti-CDK8 (SRB10) antibody is described and demonstrated to repress activated transcription in vitro. Several NAT subunits transpire to be shared by the DRIP/TRAP/ARC complex, and NAT is essentially identical to SMCC. The results suggest that subunits unique to NAT may confer its repressive effects.

Mol Cell. 3:1999;361-370. A previously characterized SRB/Med-containing cofactor complex, SMCC, is shown to be essentially identical to the TRAP (DRIP/ARC) complex. Moreover, distinct subunits of TRAP are shown to interact directly with different activators, such as thyroid receptor versus p53.

An E1A-interacting protein is identified as the human homologue of C. elegans Sur-2, which is a subunit of the DRIP/TRAP/ARC and NAT complexes. An antibody to hSur-2 is used to co-immunoprecipitate a complex containing human Mediator subunits, and this complex stimulates transcription in response to E1A and VP16. This paper is another link to the generality of the DRIP/TRAP/ARC complex in transcription activation.

CRSP, a complex isolated functionally as an activity that stimulates Sp1 transcription in vitro is identified and found to contain subunits homologous to the yeast SRB/mediator. The subsequent identification of DRIP/TRAP/ARC revealed that it is highly related to CRSP, which itself could represent a subcomplex of DRIP/ARC/TRAP or may be a smaller specialized co-factor which has adopted 1 or 2 unique subunits.

61. Armstrong JA, Bieker JJ, Emerson BM A SWI/SNF-related chromatin remodeling complex, E-RC1, is required for tissue-specific transcriptional regulation by EKLF in vitro. Cell. 95:1998;93-104. This study describes the identification of an erythrocyte-specific SNF/Swi complex, E-RC1, which is required for ELKF-stimulated transcription of the β-globin promoter reconstituted into chromatin in a cell free system. Interestingly, E-RC1 purified from mouse erythroleukemia cells was unable to mediate TFE-3-stimulated transcription of the HIV-1 promoter. Thus ERC-1 is not a general cofactor for chromatin remodeling and may represent an activator- and/or gene-selective SNF/swi complex.
