项目摘要
My research in the Farnham lab is centered on the ZFX family of C2H2 zinc finger transcription factors (TFs),
including the highly related ZFX, ZFY, and ZNF711. Previously, our lab established CRISPR-mediated knock
outs of ZFX and ZNF711 in HEK293T cells and demonstrated defective proliferation and altered expression of
thousands of genes. Additional preliminary data from the Farnham lab has determined that ZFX and ZNF711
function as transcriptional activators which preferentially bind +240 bp downstream of transcription start sites
(TSSs) at the majority of CpG island promoters in HEK293T cells. Further ZFX ChIP-seq experiments in
several human cell lines revealed that the majority of ZFX binding occurs at the same promoters in all tested
cell lines. Interestingly, RNA-seq experiments in these cell lines after ZFX siRNA knockdown revealed cell-type
specific sets of ZFX-bound, downregulated genes. However, the transcriptional mechanisms by which ZFX
regulates cell type-specific gene expression remain unclear. Therefore, in my proposal, I will determine how
ZFX can regulate a distinct set of target genes in each cell type when it binds to mostly the same set of
promoters in the different cell types. I hypothesize that ZFX interacts with different protein partners in
each cell type to provide cell type-specific regulation from common promoter binding sites. In Aim#1, I
propose to identify proteins that interact with ZFX in multiple cell lines using IP-MS and a sensitive proximity
labeling technique TurboID-MS. Candidate ZFX binding partners will be individually validated with co-IP and in
situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) experiments. To determine if candidates are key mediators of ZFX-regulated
transcription, RNA-seq experiments after siRNA knockdown of corresponding mRNAs will be performed. I also
aim to construct ZFX mutants, focusing first on the highly conserved peptide regions in the N-terminal
transactivation domain, and perform co-IP experiments to map sites of protein interaction followed by
transactivation assays to determine the effects of these mutations on transcription. In Aim#2, I will perform
motif analysis in promoters of genes which are bound and regulated by ZFX in a cell type-specific manner to
identify TFs that bind cooperatively with ZFX in the different cell lines. Binding of candidate TFs will be
validated using ChIP-seq. Cell lines with CRISPR-mediated mutations of candidate transcription factor binding
sites will be made, and qRT-PCR experiments will be performed to determine if candidate TF binding affects
ZFX-mediated transcription of cell type-specific genes. My thorough mechanistic characterization in multiple
cell lines of this interesting TF with a unique genomic binding pattern will make significant contributions to the
field of transcription.
我在 Farnham 实验室的研究集中在 C2H2 锌指转录因子 (TF) 的 ZFX 家族,
包括高度相关的ZFX、ZFY和ZNF711。此前,我们实验室建立了CRISPR介导的基因敲除
HEK293T 细胞中 ZFX 和 ZNF711 的缺失,并表现出增殖缺陷和表达改变
数千个基因。 Farnham 实验室的其他初步数据已确定 ZFX 和 ZNF711
作为转录激活剂,优先结合转录起始位点下游 +240 bp

特定组的 ZFX 结合、下调基因。然而,ZFX 的转录机制
调节细胞类型特异性基因表达仍不清楚。因此,在我的建议中,我将确定如何
当 ZFX 与几乎相同的一组靶基因结合时,它可以调节每种细胞类型中的一组不同的靶基因。
不同细胞类型中的启动子。我假设 ZFX 与不同的蛋白质伙伴相互作用
每种细胞类型从共同的启动子结合位点提供细胞类型特异性调节。在目标#1中,我
