The highly conserved Wingless/Wnt signaling pathway controls many developmental processes by regulating the expression of target genes, most often through members of the TCF family of DNA-binding proteins. In the absence of signaling, many of these targets are silenced, by mechanisms involving TCFs that are not fully understood. Here we report that the chromatin remodeling proteins ISWI and ACF1 are required for basal repression of WG target genes in Drosophila. This regulation is not due to global repression by ISWI and ACF1 and is distinct from their previously reported role in chromatin assembly. While ISWI is localized to the same regions of Wingless target gene chromatin as TCF, we find that ACF1 binds much more broadly to target loci. This broad distribution of ACF1 is dependent on ISWI. ISWI and ACF1 are required for TCF binding to chromatin, while a TCF-independent role of ISWI-ACF1 in repression of Wingless targets is also observed. Finally, we show that Wingless signaling reduces ACF1 binding to WG targets, and ISWI and ACF1 regulate repression by antagonizing histone H4 acetylation. Our results argue that WG signaling activates target gene expression partly by overcoming the chromatin barrier maintained by ISWI and ACF1. 相似文献

Regulation of hormone-induced histone hyperacetylation and gene activation via acetylation of an acetylase. 总被引:50,自引:0,他引:50
Nuclear receptors have been postulated to regulate gene expression via their association with histone acetylase (HAT) or deacetylase complexes. We report that hormone induces dramatic hyperacetylation at endogenous target genes through the HAT activity of p300/CBP. Unexpectedly, this hyperacetylation is transient and coincides with attenuation of hormone-induced gene activation. In exploring the underlying mechanism, we found that the acetylase ACTR can be acetylated by p300/CBP. The acetylation neutralizes the positive charges of two lysine residues adjacent to the core LXXLL motif and disrupts the association of HAT coactivator complexes with promoter-bound estrogen receptors. These results provide strong in vivo evidence that histone acetylation plays a key role in hormone-induced gene activation and define cofactor acetylation as a novel regulatory mechanism in hormonal signaling. 相似文献
