ABSTRACT |
|---|
|
|
|---|
The DNA binding domain of GATA-1 consists of two
adjacent homologous zinc fingers, of which only the C-terminal finger
binds DNA independently. Solution structure studies have shown that the
DNA is bent by about 15° in the complex formed with the single C-terminal finger of GATA-1. The N-terminal finger stabilizes DNA
binding at some sites. To determine whether it contributes to DNA
bending, we have performed circular permutation DNA bending experiments
with a variety of DNA-binding sites recognized by GATA-1. By using a
series of full-length GATA-1, double zinc finger, and single C-terminal
finger constructs, we show that GATA-1 bends DNA by about 24°,
irrespective of the DNA-binding site. We propose that the N- and
C-terminal fingers of GATA-1 adopt different orientations when bound to
different cognate DNA sites. Furthermore, we characterize circular
permutation bending artifacts arising from the reduced gel mobility of
the protein-DNA complexes.
DNA-binding zinc fingers of the form
CXXC-X17-CNAC characterize the GATA
family of transcription factors. GATA-1, the original member of the
family, possesses two such zinc fingers. The C-terminal finger,
accompanied by a basic linker region, is both necessary and sufficient
for binding to the GATA recognition sequence, WGATAR (1-7). Even
though the N-terminal finger does not bind DNA independently, it does
stabilize GATA-1 interactions with some sites crucial for gene
expression (7-11). These high affinity DNA sites are usually
characterized by double GATA motifs, albeit arranged in diverse
orientations and spacing. Since GATA-1 binds as a monomer to such
sites, it has been proposed that both the N- and C-terminal fingers are
involved in DNA recognition. Among these sites is an overlapping
palindromic GATA sequence (ATCTGATA, referred to as GATApal) that is
necessary for the activity of at least three vertebrate hematopoietic
GATA-1 promoters and requires both zinc fingers for high affinity
interaction (11). Similarly, both zinc fingers of GATA-1 are requisite
for the interaction with the double AGATA sites of the Solution NMR studies of the complex formed between the C-terminal
finger of GATA-1 and its cognate DNA sequence indicate that the DNA is
bent by an overall angle of about 15° (3). This kink probably results
from the insertion of the C-terminal basic residues required for DNA
binding (5, 6) into the minor groove. Unlike the single C-terminal zinc
finger, it has been proposed that the full-length chicken GATA-1
introduces a bend of the order of 64° when bound to the chicken
GATA-1 promoter (13), suggesting a possible role for the N-terminal
finger in the overall DNA bend induced by the full-length protein.
Indeed, the double finger peptide of GATA-1 interacts with DNA probes containing double sites to yield fast and slow migrating 1:1 complexes. Based on a mutational analysis it has been proposed that the slow migrating complex is indicative of binding through only the C-terminal finger (11). The migration anomalies observed may therefore be due to
the introduction of bends into the DNA target by the binding of the
N-terminal finger. In order to evaluate the contribution of the
N-terminal finger to DNA bending, we have performed gel mobility shift
assays using circularly permuted probes containing different double and
single GATA-binding motifs. By using various GATA-1 constructs we show
that the C-terminal finger is the sole contributor to DNA bending and
that the bend angle previously reported to be induced by full-length
GATA-1 was overestimated. Because the bend angle is identical among
double GATA sites separated by 0-9 base pairs, we propose that the N-
and C-terminal fingers of GATA-1 necessarily adopt different relative
orientations when bound to distinct cognate double GATA sites.
Constructions
Bending Vectors--
Oligonucleotides were synthesized on an
Applied Biosystems 394 DNA/RNA synthesizer and purified by denaturing
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The EcoRV (GATATC) and
BglII (AGATCT) restriction sites on pBEND5 (14) were
modified into SfcI (CTCGAG) and BsrI (ACCAGT)
sites, respectively, to remove potential GATA-binding sites.
Furthermore, the central SalI (GTCGAC)-cloning site was modified into an AatII (GACGTC) site. The modified pBEND5,
pB5RG, was prepared sequentially via pB5R. pB5R was prepared by
insertion of the modified
dsDNA1 containing the
circularly permuted restriction sites into pBEND5 digested with
EcoRI and XbaI; pB5RG was prepared by insertion of a similar dsDNA into pB5R digested with XbaI and
HindIII (Fig. 1). Bending
vectors containing various double and single GATA-binding sites (Table
II) were prepared in a similar fashion. dsDNA oligomers spanning the
XbaI and HindIII sites of pB5RG containing the
binding sites were inserted into pB5R digested with XbaI and
HindIII. Each of the bending vector constructs was verified
by DNA sequencing (dRhodamine terminator cycle sequencing followed by
analysis on an ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer).
GATA-1 Expression Vectors--
The PCR primers used for
amplification of chicken (2) and human (15) GATA-1 cDNAs are shown
in Table I. The PCR products were cleaved
with the appropriate restriction enzymes, gel-purified, and cloned into
the expression vector. Maltose-binding fusion proteins were constructed
by insertion of the digested PCR product into pMAL-c2x (New England
Biolabs) restricted with EcoRI and SalI. Untagged
DNA binding domain clones were constructed by insertion into pET-11a
(Novagen) digested with NdeI and BamHI. Each
vector (Table I) was verified by DNA sequencing.

Expression and Purification of GATA-1 Proteins
GST Chicken GATA-1-- Full-length chicken GATA-1 with an N-terminal glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion was prepared as described (16).
MBP GATA-1 Fusion Proteins--
The maltose-binding protein
(MBP) N-terminal fusions to human GATA-1 DF, chicken GATA-1 DF, and
chicken GATA-1 CF were expressed in TB1 Escherichia coli.
The cells were grown at 37 °C in rich medium with glucose containing
100 µg/ml ampicillin and 50 µM Zn(OAc)2 and
induced with 0.5 mM
isopropyl-1-thio-
-D-galactopyranoside for 4 h.
Approximately 30 g of cells (from a 4-liter culture) were lysed in
80 ml of 20 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and 1 µM
pepstatin A by sonication. The lysates were clarified by centrifugation
and loaded on a Q-Sepharose® Fast Flow column (Amersham Pharmacia
Biotech) that had been equilibrated with the same buffer. The
flow-through and rinse were combined and loaded on an S-Sepharose®
Fast Flow column (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). A 0.0-1.0 M
NaCl gradient in 20 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1 mM
EDTA, and 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride was used to elute the MBP GATA-1 protein. GATA-1 protein activity was detected by
electrophoretic mobility shift assay; the fractions were pooled, adjusted to 10% glycerol (v/v), and stored at
80 °C.
GATA-1 and GATA-1 Zinc Finger Peptides-- The double zinc finger domain of chicken GATA-1 was expressed in BL21(DE3) E. coli in LB broth containing 100 µg/ml ampicillin and 50 µM Zn(OAc)2. Expression and purification were carried out as described above. Peptides corresponding to the human GATA-1 double finger and chicken GATA-1 C-terminal single finger were prepared as described previously (6, 11). Full-length GATA-1 nuclear extracts were made by standard procedures from adult chicken erythrocytes (17).
DNA Bending Experiments
Preparation of the Bending Probes-- Radioactively labeled, circularly permuted probes were prepared by PCR amplification of the EcoRI to HindIII portion of the pB5RG vector and restriction enzyme treatment as described (18). PCR was carried out using CCCGGGCTGCAGGAATTCACG and GACGGTATGCATAAGCTTGGA as forward and reverse primers, respectively. Restriction digests to yield the circularly permuted products were performed with BsrI, NheI, ClaI, SpeI, DraI, MspI, NruI, KpnI, HinfI, and BamHI. The DNA probes were gel-purified on 5% native acrylamide gels and adjusted to the same concentration based on their specific activity.
GATA-1 DNA Bending Experiments-- Each reaction (10 µl of 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 3 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 100 ng of bovine serum albumin, 0.125% Triton X-100, and 4% Ficoll) contained 20-40 ng of labeled DNA, 500 ng poly(dI·dC), 500 ng of a cold pB5RG competitor containing no GATA sites prepared by PCR in addition to 2-4 µl of the GATA-1 protein preparation. The reactions were electrophoresed on polyacrylamide gels at 13 V/cm in 10 mM Tris base, 10 mM Hepes, and 1 mM EDTA at room temperature. 10.2, 7.8, 6.0, and 4.2% gels were electrophoresed for 14, 6, 3 and 1.5 h, respectively. The gels were fixed in 10% acetic acid for 30 min, dried, and autoradiographed.
Competition experiments demonstrated that the complexes formed were specific GATA-1 and DNA complexes. Bending experiments with probes based on the bent pB5RG-A5 and pB5RG-A55 were carried out in a similar fashion using probes derived from pB5RG-G3 as a linear reference. The reactions contained approximately equal quantities of either the bent or linear probes.
Calculation of the DNA Bending Parameters-- Gels were analyzed on a PhosphorImager (Molecular Dynamics) using ImageQuant 4.1. The mobilities of the protein-DNA complexes (or bent DNA) were normalized to the mobility of the free (or linear) DNA (Rbound/Rfree) and fitted to a second order polynomial of D/L to determine a, b, and c (SigmaPlot 5.0, SPSS Inc.) as shown in Equation 1,

(Eq. 1) |
, obtained from Equation 2,

(Eq. 2) |

= 180°
as described
(19). Excellent quadratic fits were obtained in all cases studied, and
the two values of
for each fit were identical, within the precision
of the method. Control bending experiments were carried out with a
GATA-palindrome site fused to the A5 A-tract (Table I) which has an
intrinsic bend of 20° (Fig. 3B) as follows:
AGAAGTCCATCTGATAAGACTTGGCCACGCAAAAACGGCAAAAACGGCAAAAACGGTCGAGACZ. A visual inspection of the
Rbound/Rfree data shows that GATA-1 double
finger binding does not bend DNA significantly. A fit to the quadratic
equation leads to an angle of 10 ± 3°, representing a
lower limit angle that can be determined in this fashion. The bend
introduced by the GATA-1 double finger binding is presumably out of
phase with that of the A5 A-tract, resulting in an overall decrease of
the bending angle.

GATA-1 Bends DNA in a Site-independent Manner--
Gel mobility
shift assays using circularly permuted probes containing varying
GATA-binding motifs (Table II) were
carried out to determine the bend angle introduced by both chicken and human double zinc finger peptides. The GATA-binding sites evaluated consisted of a series of double sites separated by 0 (GATApal (G2)), 1 (
-globin silencer (
S) and GATC consensus
site (GC)), 4 (GATA-1 promoter (G3)), or 9 (
-globin
promoter (
P)) base pairs, allowing us to evaluate how the
combination of the two zinc fingers may contribute to the overall bend.
It has already been shown that both the zinc fingers of GATA-1 interact
with DNA when bound to the G2 and
P sites (7, 11). In
the accompanying article (12), we show that the same holds true for the
S and GC-binding sites. In addition to these double GATA sites, two
single GATA-binding sites were analyzed in order to evaluate the
contribution of the C-terminal finger to the overall DNA bend. One site
(G1) represents the doubly mutated mouse GATA-1 promoter
site, whereas the other (G0) is the consensus site used in
obtaining the solution structure of the DNA complex formed with the
C-terminal finger (6). Circular permutation bending experiments carried
out with the human and chicken double finger peptides show, within the
experimental precision of the method, that the DNA bend induced by 1:1
complex formation is independent of the GATA-binding site. The average
bend angle of 24 ± 3° obtained for these complexes is identical
to the average bending angle obtained with the chicken C-terminal
finger peptide (Table III). These data
demonstrate that GATA-1 bends DNA in a site-independent manner and that
this bend arises solely from the binding of the C-terminal finger of
GATA-1 to the DNA (Table III, sites G1 and
G0).

GATA-1 Bends DNA by 24°--
The bend angle of 24° is
significantly different from the value of 64° published for the
full-length chicken GATA-1 (13), and we have just shown that this
difference cannot be ascribed to the contribution of the N-terminal
finger. To explain this difference we performed a series of circular
permutation mobility shift assays with full-length chicken GATA-1
obtained from chicken erythrocytes. Data obtained for the 1:1 complex
formed with sites from the mouse GATA-1 promoter (Table III, site
G3, essentially identical to the chicken GATA-1 promoter
used in Ref. 13) lead to an angle of 59 ± 4° (Fig.
2), a value identical to that previously published. As in the case of the double and single C-terminal finger
peptides, the angle was site-independent. Circular permutation experiments were also carried out with an MBP fusion to the human double finger. As in the case of the double finger peptide, the bending
angle obtained did not depend on the binding site. Unlike the peptide,
however, an average bending angle of 83 ± 3° is noted (Table
III). Similar experiments carried out with a bacterially expressed GST
fusion to the full-length chicken GATA-1 lead to a larger bending angle
vis-à-vis the chicken GATA-1 (i.e. 104° versus 63°; Table III). As neither the GST nor the MBP
domains interact with DNA, these data indicate that the 63° bend
observed with GATA-1 includes a contribution resulting from the
decreased migration of the 1:1 complex. Indeed, a plot of the bending
angle (
) as a function of the relative mobility of the complex
(Rbound/Rfree) suggests a direct relation
between these parameters (Fig.
3A).
|
|
In the reptation model describing DNA migration through a gel,
it is assumed that the presence of a single intrinsic bend imposes a
large barrier to the motion of the DNA chain. Furthermore, it is
assumed that the elastic force constant, Beff,
describing the "interaction" of the DNA chain with the acrylamide
pores does not change within a particular set of probes (20). Measuring the bending angle as a function of the acrylamide concentration readily
tests this assumption, which is critical to the derivation of the
quadratic equation relating mobility to bending. Bending of the mouse
GATA-1 promoter (G3) by the double finger peptide of
chicken GATA-1 leads to bending angles that are slightly dependent on
the acrylamide concentration in a manner similar to the A-tracts used
as controls (Fig. 3B). This slight variation in the angle is
therefore an intrinsic DNA property. However, both the full-length GATA-1 and the MBP-chicken double finger lead to bending angles that
show a marked dependence on the acrylamide concentration (Fig.
3B). In these cases, the elastic force constant of the
complex varies as a function of the circularly permuted probe, leading to an overestimation of the true bend angle. Therefore, together with
the observation that the double and single C-terminal zinc finger
peptides lead to identical bending angles, we conclude that GATA-1
bends DNA by 24° in a site-independent manner.

DISCUSSION |

|
|

GATA-1 Bends DNA in a Site-independent Manner-- We have shown that the GATA-1 proteins bend DNA by 24° in a site-independent manner and that the C-terminal finger is sufficient to account for this bend. The NMR solution structure of the C-terminal finger peptide bound to G0 DNA shows a kink of about 15° in the direction of the major groove. It was proposed that the C-terminal basic arm required for binding (5, 6) is solely responsible for this bend (3). The site independence of the induced angle shown here by circular permutation analysis confirms this hypothesis. The N-terminal finger of GATA-1 does not possess a basic arm, and the bending angle induced by GATA-1 is not affected by the presence of N-finger binding sites. As both N- and C-terminal fingers simultaneously bind to a variety of double GATA sites (Table II), any finger-finger interactions are necessarily constrained by their relative orientations and distance as little DNA bending is induced by either zinc finger.
DNA bending angles determined by circular permutation analysis represent a sum of the contributions of the true bend and the migration anomaly produced by the structure of the protein-DNA complex. Indeed, it has been documented that circular permutation analysis usually overestimates the bend angle induced by DNA-binding proteins (21, 22). For example, bending angles of 81° were obtained with this method for the thyroid hormone and retinoid X receptor dimers (TR/TR and TR/RXR) (23). A large contribution to this bend must be due to anomalous migration as phasing analysis leads to induced bends of about 10° (23). Similar conclusions have been reached in a study of the GCN4-DNA complex, where it was shown that the full-length GCN4 leads to an anomalous circular permutation analysis due to its size (24).
In a comparative study we have shown that the non-bending migration anomaly, due in part to "trailing" portions of the protein, contributes significantly to the apparent bending angle in the case of the full-length GATA-1, the MBP, and GST fusion proteins (Fig. 3A). Because their apparent bending angles vary significantly as a function of the acrylamide concentration, the angles consequently are not a reflection of the true bend induced.
Implied Properties of GATA-1--
In the accompanying article (12)
we demonstrate that the N- and C-terminal zinc fingers of GATA-1
influence one another in DNA binding. This change is most likely the
result of an intramolecular interaction between the GATA fingers and
(or) linkers. Indeed, it has been shown that GATA-1 dimerizes with low
affinity on DNA. This occurs through an association between the N- and
C-terminal zinc fingers of separate molecules, indicating that the
fingers associate specifically with one another (25). For similar
interactions to occur intramolecularly, the fingers must be capable of
movement relative to one another through the amino acids linking them. This linker region of GATA-1 has recently been shown by NMR to have
little secondary structure and is therefore likely to allow sufficient
movement of the fingers relative to each other (26). As the DNA is
apparently unconstrained by the orientations of the two zinc fingers,
the bending experiments support a model in which the N- and C-terminal
zinc fingers adopt different geometries when bound to different double
GATA sites.
