Yeast two-hybrid system was employed to isolate novel proteins that physically interact with PU.1, a member of Ets family transcription factors. Sequence analyses of several isolated clones positive for beta-galactosidase activity revealed that one of these clones was confirmed to encode a transcriptional coactivator, CREB binding protein (CBP). GST binding assay showed that the interacting sites were located at the transcriptional activation domain of PU.1 through 74-122 and the region spanning residues 1283-1915 of CBP. CBP potentiated PU.1-mediated transcription of the reporter gene driven by the multimerized PU.1-binding sites, suggesting that CBP functions as a coactivator for PU.1. Considering that CBP is a limited cellular component to function as a coactivator for several transcription factors, CBP may mediate synergistic and antagonistic interactions between PU.1 and other transcription factors during the process of hematopoietic cell differentiation.

Recent studies have shown that the p300/CREB binding protein (CBP)-associated factor (PCAF) is involved in transcriptional activation. PCAF activity has been shown strongly associated with histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity. In this report, we present evidence for a HAT-independent transcription function that is activated in the presence of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax protein. In vitro and in vivo GST-Tax pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that there is a direct interaction between Tax and PCAF, independent of p300/CBP. PCAF can be recruited to the HTLV-1 Tax responsive element in the presence of Tax, and PCAF cooperates with Tax in vivo to activate transcription from the HTLV-1 LTR over 10-fold. Point mutations at Tax amino acid 318 (TaxS318A) or 319 to 320 (Tax M47), which have decreased or no activity on the HTLV-1 promoter, are defective for PCAF binding. Strikingly, the ability of PCAF to stimulate Tax transactivation is not solely dependent on the PCAF HAT domain. Two independent PCAF HAT mutants, which knock out acetyltransferase enzyme activity, activate Tax transactivation to approximately the same level as wild-type PCAF. In contrast, p300 stimulation of Tax transactivation is HAT dependent. These studies provide experimental evidence that PCAF contains a coactivator transcription function independent of the HAT activity on the viral long terminal repeat.

The newly identified p53 homolog p73 mimics the transcriptional function of p53. We have investigated the regulation of p73's transcriptional activity by p300/CREB binding protein (CBP). p73-p300 complexes were identified in HeLa cell extracts by cofractionation and coimmunoprecipitation assays. The p73-p300 interaction was confirmed in vitro by glutathione S-transferase-protein association assays and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitating the overexpressed p300 and p73 in human p53-free small-cell lung carcinoma H1299 or osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells. The N terminus but not the N-terminal truncation of p73 bound to the CH1 domain (amino acids [aa] 350 to 450) of p300/CBP. Accordingly, this p73 N-terminal deletion was unable to activate transcription or to induce apoptosis. Overexpression of either p300 or CBP stimulated transcription mediated by p73 but not its N-terminally deleted mutant in vivo. The N-terminal fragment from aa 19 to 597, but not the truncated fragment from aa 242 to 1700 of p300, reduced p73-mediated transcription markedly. p73-dependent transcription or apoptosis was partially impaired in either p300- or CBP-deficient human breast carcinoma MCF-7 or H1299 cells, suggesting that both coactivators mediate transcription by p73 in cells. These results demonstrate that the N terminus of p73 directly interacts with the N-terminal CH1 domain of p300/CBP to activate transcription.

Estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta mediate estrogen actions in target cells through transcriptional control of target gene expression. For 17beta-estradiol-induced transactivation, the N-terminal A/B domain (AF-1) and the C-terminal E/F domain (AF-2) of ERs are required. Ligand binding is considered to induce functional synergism between AF-1 and AF-2, but the molecular mechanism remains unknown. To clarify this synergism, we studied the role of reported AF-2 coactivators, p300/CREB binding protein, steroid receptor coactivator-1/transcriptional intermediary factor-2 (SRC-1/TIF2) family proteins and thyroid hormone receptor-associated protein-220/(vitamin D3 receptor-interacting protein- 205-(TRAP220/DRIP205) on the AF-1 activity in terms of synergism with the AF-2 function. We found that neither any of the SRC-1/TIF2 family coactivators nor TRAP220/DRIP205 is potent, whereas p300 potentiates the AF-1 function of both human ERalpha and human ERbeta. Direct interactions of p300 with the A/B domains of ERalpha and ERbeta were observed in an in vitro glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay in accordance with the interactions in yeast and mammalian two-hybrid assays. Furthermore, mutations in the p300 binding sites (56-72 amino acids in ERalpha and 62-72 amino acids in ERbeta) in the A/B domains caused a reduction in ligand-induced transactivation functions of both ERalpha and ERbeta. Thus, these findings indicate that ligand-induced functional synergism between AF-1 and AF-2 is mediated through p300 by its direct binding to the A/B regions of ERalpha and ERbeta.

A CREB-CREB binding protein (CBP) complex was used as bait to screen a mouse embryo cDNA library in yeast. One of the strongest interactions identified the histone binding protein RbAp48. RbAp48 also interacted weakly with CBP alone but did not interact with phosphorylated or nonphosphorylated CREB. CBP (or its homologue p300) from HeLa cell nuclear extracts coimmunoprecipitated with RbAp48 and its homologue RbAp46 and bound to a glutathione S-transferase-RbAp48 fusion protein. This interaction was stimulated by the addition of phosphorylated CREB and allowed the association of core histones and mononucleosomes in an acetylation-dependent manner. RbAp48 lowered the K(m) of CBP histone acetylase activity and facilitated p300-mediated in vitro transcription of a chromatinized template in the presence of acetylcoenzyme A. These data indicate that the association of phosphorylated CREB with CBP promotes the binding of RbAp48 and its homologue RbAp46, allowing the formation of a complex that facilitates histone acetylation during transcriptional activation.

Maximal activation of murine infection-A4 (IFNA4) gene transcription following viral infection requires the presence of four cooperating DNA sequences (denoted A to D), which make up the virus responsive element VRE-A4. The B, C, and D modules, when tandemized, form binding sites for the virus-induced factor (VIF), a multiprotein complex that is detected early after viral infection in the nuclei of mouse L929 cells. We now demonstrate that IFN regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) is a component of VIF and that VIF is different from the previously identified virus-activated complexes containing IRF-3 and coactivators of transcription, such as CREB binding protein (CBP) or p300. We also show that the C module is critical for both IRF-3-mediated and virus-induced transcription of the murine IFNA4 gene. Consistently, DNase I footprinting experiments and EMSA performed with increasing amounts of recombinant GST-IRF-3(DBD) fusion proteins demonstrate that cooperativity between the modules facilitate the binding of IRF-3 and recruitment of transcription coactivators on the IFNA4 promoter. These results indicate that VIF differentially recognizes the virus-responsive modules of VRE-A4 and further actualize our previous model concerning the differential expression of murine IFNA genes.

CREB binding protein (CBP) plays a central role in cell differentiation and proliferation, interacting with a large number of nuclear factors. To find novel nuclear factors associating with CBP, we have carried out yeast two-hybrid screening of human chondrocyte cDNA library using the C/H3 region of CBP as a bait and cloned CDK4 binding protein p34SEI-1, the recently found cell cycle regulator. The association of p34SEI-1 with CBP was confirmed in vitro by GST pull-down assay and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation. Results of the immunofluorescence assay also supported the association of p34SEI-1 and CBP. In reporter assay using CRE promoter, p34SEI-1 strongly suppressed CREB-mediated transcription, and this suppression was overcome by excess amount of CBP, but not by CBPDeltaCH3. It is suggested that the association of p34SEI-1 and CBP is not only involved in cell cycle regulation by CBP, but also have some effect on other CBP-dependent transcription.

The fusion of autophagosomes and endosomes/lysosomes, also called autophagosome maturation, ensures the degradation of autophagic cargoes. It is an important regulatory step of the macroautophagy/autophagy process. STX17 is the key autophagosomal SNARE protein that mediates autophagosome maturation. Here, we report that the acetylation of STX17 regulates its SNARE activity and autophagic degradation. The histone acetyltransferase CREBBP/CBP and the deacetylase HDAC2 specifically regulate the acetylation of STX17. In response to cell starvation and MTORC1 inhibition, the inactivation of CREBBP leads to the deacetylation of STX17 at its SNARE domain. This deacetylation promotes the interaction between STX17 and SNAP29 and the formation of the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 SNARE complex with no effect on the recruitment of STX17 to autophagosomal membranes. Deacetylation of STX17 also enhances the interaction between STX17 and the tethering complex HOPS, thereby further promoting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Our study suggests a mechanism by which acetylation regulates the late-stage of autophagy, and possibly other STX17-related intracellular membrane fusion events.Abbreviations: ACTB: actin beta; CREBBP/CBP: CREB binding protein; Ctrl: control; GFP: green fluorescent protein; GST: glutathione S-transferase; HDAC: histone deacetylase; HOPS: homotypic fusion and protein sorting complex; KO: knockout; LAMP1/2: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1/2; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MEFs: mouse embryonic fibroblasts; MS: mass spectrometry; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; NAM: nicotinamide; PtdIns3K: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; RFP: red fluorescent protein; SNAP29: synaptosome associated protein 29; SNARE: soluble N-ethylamide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; STX17: syntaxin 17; TSA: trichostatin A; TSC1/2: TSC complex subunit 1/2; VAMP8: vesicle associated membrane protein 8; WT: wild type.
