The general transcription factor TFIID facilitates recruitment of the transcription machinery to gene promoters and regulates initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. hTAFII130, a component of TFIID, interacts with and serves as a coactivator for multiple transcriptional regulatory proteins, including Sp1 and CREB. A yeast two-hybrid screen has identified an interaction between hTAFII130 and heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), a chromatin-associated protein whose function has been implicated in gene silencing. We find that hTAFII130 associates with HP1 in an isoform-specific manner: HP1α and HP1γ bind to hTAFII130, but not HP1β. In addition, we show that endogenous hTAFII130 and components of TFIID in HeLa nuclear extracts associate with glutathioneS-transferase-HP1α and -HP1γ. hTAFII130 possesses a pentapeptide HP1-binding motif, and mutation of the hTAFII130 HP1 box compromises the interaction of hTAFII130 with HP1. We demonstrate that Gal4-HP1 proteins interfere with hTAFII130-mediated activation of transcription. Our results suggest that HP1α and HP1γ associate with hTAFII130 to mediate repression of transcription, supporting a new model of transcriptional repression involving a specific interaction between a component of TFIID and chromatin.
