(Submitter supplied) MSL2, the DNA-binding subunit of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex, cooperates with the ubiquitous protein CLAMP to bind MSL recognition elements (MREs) on the X chromosome. We explore the nature of the cooperative binding to these GA-rich, composite sequence elements in reconstituted naïve embryonic chromatin. We found that the cooperativity requires physical interaction between both proteins. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription factors have to distinguish proper targets from a large pool of potential binding sites. Here we explore how MSL2 and CLAMP cooperate to bind their specific targets. Using an in vitro chromatin reconstitution system and by mutating the interaction domain of CLAMP we show how direct and indirect cooperation of TF binding influence binding specificity.

(Submitter supplied) Transcription regulators select their genomic binding sites from a large pool of similar, non‑functional sequences. Although general principles that allow such discrimination are known, the complexity of DNA elements often precludes a prediction of functional sites. The process of dosage compensation in Drosophila allows exploring the rules underlying binding site selectivity. The male-specific-lethal (MSL) Dosage Compensation Complex selectively binds to some 300 X-chromosomal ‘High Affinity Sites’ (HAS) containing GA‑rich ‘MSL recognition elements’ (MREs), but disregards thousands of other MRE sequences in the genome. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Drosophila male-specific lethal (MSL) complex binds to the male X chromosome to activate transcription, and consists of five proteins, MSL1, MSL2, MSL3, MOF, MLE, and two roX RNAs. The MLE helicase remodels the roX lncRNAs, enabling the lncRNA-mediated assembly of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex. MSL2 is expressed only in males and interacts with the N-terminal zinc-finger of the transcription factor CLAMP that is important for specific recruitment of the MSL complex on the male X chromosome. more...

(Submitter supplied) The dosage compensation complex (DCC) of Drosophila identifies its X chromosomal binding sites with exquisite selectivity. The principles that assure this vital targeting are known from the D. melanogaster model: DCC-intrinsic specificity of DNA binding, cooperativity with the CLAMP protein, and non-coding roX2 RNA transcribed from the X chromosome. We found that in D. virilis, a species separated from melanogaster by 40 million years of evolution, all principles are active, but contribute differently to X-specificity. more...

(Submitter supplied) The rules according to which transcription factors selectively bind only a small subset of genomic sites from a vast pool of similar sequences are not understood. One of the most challenging tasks in DNA recognition is posed by dosage compensation systems that require the unequivocal distinction between a sex chromosome and all autosomes. In Drosophila melanogaster the male-specific-lethal dosage compensation complex (MSL-DCC) doubles the transcription output of most genes on the X chromosome via chromatin modification, but the nature of this selectivity is not known. more...

(Submitter supplied) In Drosophila, the global increase in transcription from the X chromosome in males to compensate for its monosomy is mediated by the male-specific-lethal complex (MSL-C) consisting of five proteins and two non-coding RNAs, roX1 and roX2. After an initial sequence dependent recognition by the MSL-C of 150-300 high affinity sites, the spreading to the majority of the X-linked genes depends on local MSL-C concentration and active transcription. more...

(Submitter supplied) The X chromosome provides an ideal model system to study the contribution of RNA-protein interactions in epigenetic regulation. In male flies, roX lncRNAs harbor several redundant domains to interact with the ubiquitin ligase MSL2 and the RNA helicase MLE for X-chromosomal regulation. However, how these interactions provide the mechanics of spreading remains unknown. By employing the uvCLAP methodology, which provides unprecedented information about RNA secondary structures in vivo, we identified the minimal functional unit of roX2 RNA. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription factors distinguish functional response elements from a large excess of similar sequences in metazoan genomes. Faithful discrimination relies on DNA sequence and shape, but how shape is modulated by chromatin organisation is unclear. We explored binding site selection principles by blending unique biological and experimental systems. First, we assemble Drosophila genomes into physiological embryonic chromatin as a substrate for genome-wide binding assays. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Drosophila MSL complex mediates dosage compensation by increasing transcription of the single X chromosome in males approximately two-fold. This is accomplished through recognition of the X chromosome and subsequent acetylation of histone H4K16 on X-linked genes. Initial binding to the X is thought to occur at a subset of sites. However, the consensus sequence motif of entry sites (“MSL recognition element” or MRE) is only slightly enriched on the X (~2 fold), and only a fraction of them is utilized by the MSL complex. more...

(Submitter supplied) Dosage compensation serves as a model for understanding how chromatin-modification enzymes are targeted to initiate and maintain gene regulation. In Drosophila, the MSL complex associates with active genes specifically on the male X chromosome to acetylate histone H4 at lysine 16, and increase expression of most X-linked genes approximately two-fold. To date, no DNA sequence has been discovered to explain the specificity of MSL binding. more...
