Abstract

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are pivotal in transcriptional regulation. Although the interaction between G4s and G4-binding transcription factors (TFs) is critical for G4-dependent transcriptional regulation, the detailed mechanism, especially TF enrichment at G4s and its correlation with transcriptional regulation, remains unknown. In this study, using specificity protein 1 (SP1) as a representative G4-binding TF, we examined the mechanism of G4-dependent transcriptional regulation. Genomic analysis revealed substantial enrichment of SP1 in the oncogenic Bcl3 promoter harboring G4-forming sequences. We demonstrated that the formation of transcriptional condensates and the transcriptional activation of the Bcl3 promoter are heavily dependent on G4-dependent SP1 binding. Moreover, dissociation of SP1 condensates was prompted by RNA, which was enhanced by G4 formation within the RNA. Collectively, these results underscore the pivotal role of G4 in regulating gene expression through the modulation of SP1-mediated transcriptional condensation.

摘要

G-四链体(G4s)在转录调控中起着关键作用。尽管G4s与G4结合转录因子(TFs)之间的相互作用对于G4依赖的转录调控至关重要,但详细机制,尤其是TFs在G4s处的富集及其与转录调控的相关性,仍然未知。在本研究中,我们以特异性蛋白1(SP1)作为代表性的G4结合TF,研究了G4依赖的转录调控机制。基因组分析显示,在含有G4形成序列的致癌Bcl3启动子中,SP1大量富集。我们证明,转录凝聚物的形成和Bcl3启动子的转录激活严重依赖于G4依赖的SP1结合。此外,RNA促使SP1凝聚物解离,而RNA中的G4形成会增强这种解离。总的来说,这些结果强调了G4在通过调节SP1介导的转录凝聚来调控基因表达中的关键作用。
