Hox 蛋白与 Pbx 和 Prep/Meis 家族的 TALE 辅因子形成复合物来控制转录,但目前尚不清楚 Hox: TALE 复合物如何发挥作用。通过检查调节斑马鱼 hoxb1a 转录的 Hoxb1b:TALE 复合物,我们发现母体在囊胚阶段就已经在 hoxb1a 启动子处沉积了 TALE 蛋白。这些 TALE 因子招募组蛋白修饰酶以促进 hoxb1a 启动子处的活性染色质谱,并招募 RNA 聚合酶 II (RNAPII) 和 P-TEFb。然而,在 TALE 因子存在的情况下,RNAPII 在丝氨酸 5 上仍然磷酸化,并且 hoxb1a 转录效率低下。在原肠胚阶段,Hoxb1b 与 TALE 因子一起结合到 hoxb1a 启动子上。这会触发 P-TEFb 介导的 RNAPII 向丝氨酸 2-磷酸化形式的转变以及有效的 hoxb1a 转录。我们得出的结论是,TALE 因子在早期胚胎发生过程中接触启动子,使其处于激活状态,但需要 Hox 蛋白来触发有效的转录。
Hox proteins form complexes with TALE cofactors from the Pbx and Prep/Meis families to control transcription, but it remains unclear how Hox: TALE complexes function. Examining a Hoxb1b:TALE complex that regulates zebrafish hoxb1a transcription, we find maternally deposited TALE proteins at the hoxb1a promoter already during blastula stages. These TALE factors recruit histone-modifying enzymes to promote an active chromatin profile at the hoxb1a promoter and also recruit RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and P-TEFb. However, in the presence of TALE factors, RNAPII remains phosphorylated on serine 5 and hoxb1a transcription is inefficient. By gastrula stages, Hoxb1b binds together with TALE factors to the hoxb1a promoter. This triggers P-TEFb-mediated transitioning of RNAPII to the serine 2-phosphorylated form and efficient hoxb1a transcription. We conclude that TALE factors access promoters during early embryogenesis to poise them for activation but that Hox proteins are required to trigger efficient transcription.
