Although global analyses of transcription factor binding provide one view of potential transcriptional regulatory networks, regulation also occurs at levels distinct from transcription factor binding. Here, we use a genetic approach to identify targets of transcription factors in yeast and reconstruct a functional regulatory network. First, we profiled transcriptional responses in S. cerevisiae strains with individual deletions of 263 transcription factors. Then we used directed-weighted graph modeling and regulatory epistasis analysis to identify indirect regulatory relationships between these transcription factors, and from this we reconstructed a functional transcriptional regulatory network. The enrichment of promoter motifs and Gene Ontology annotations provide insight into the biological functions of the transcription factors.
虽然对转录因子结合的全局分析提供了一种潜在转录调控网络的视角,但调控也发生在与转录因子结合不同的层面。在这里,我们采用遗传学方法来鉴定酵母中转录因子的靶标,并重建一个功能调控网络。首先,我们对263个转录因子单个缺失的酿酒酵母菌株中的转录反应进行了分析。然后我们使用定向加权图建模和调控上位性分析来鉴定这些转录因子之间的间接调控关系,并据此重建了一个功能转录调控网络。启动子基序和基因本体注释的富集为转录因子的生物学功能提供了深入了解。
