Mutants in the cyclic AMP binding site of the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) of Escherichia coli have been constructed by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. They have been phenotypically characterized and their ability to enhance the expression of catabolite-repressible operons has been tested. In addition, the binding of cyclic nucleotides to the mutants has been investigated. It is shown that the six mutants made fall into one of three classes: (i) those that bind cyclic AMP better than the wild type protein (Ser-62→Ala) and result in greater transcription enhancement; (ii) those that bind cyclic AMP similarly to wild type (Ser-83→Ala, Ser-83→Lys, Thr-127→Ala, Ser-129→Ala); and (iii) those that do not bind cyclic AMP at all (Arg-82→Leu). Implications of these findings with respect to present models of the cyclic nucleotide binding pocket of CRP are discussed.

Abstract Hoxa9 and Meis1 are overexpressed in >70% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and associated with poor prognosis and survival. Hoxa9 and Meis1 interact with DNA and PBX to achieve transcription of differentiation-blocking genes. We tested transcriptional repression at Hoxa9-PBX-Meis1 genomic binding sites to induce differentiation in a model of human AML We designed a DNA-recognition strategy based on the known structure of the Hoxa9-PBX-DNA complex by fusing the DNA binding helices of Hoxa9 and PBX to create concise homeodomain fusion proteins that target the Hoxa9-PBX DNA recognition sequence. To confer transcription-repressing properties to the proteins, we attached a transcriptional repressor (sin3 interacting) domain and ectopically expressed this protein in Hoxa9-Meis1 immortalized murine progenitors. Introduction of this transcription repressor protein significantly enabled cell differentiation versus control (51.2% Mac-1high Gr-1high cells versus 11.3% for control). Multiple gene transcripts indicative of differentiation, such as GCSFR, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, and the calcium binding protein, S100A8, were also elevated in repressor-expressing cells. Furthermore, direct transcriptional targets of Hoxa9 (e.g. SOX2, CD34, FOXP1, FLT3R, DNAJC10) were down regulated in repressor-expressing cells. Importantly, a mutant repressor lacking the DNA-interacting amino acids did not affect transcription of Hoxa9 targets, demonstrating on-target specificity. Repressor-expressing cells also exhibited lower surface expression of c-Kit and Flt3 receptors and when transplanted into mice resulted in a significant increase in disease latency with a 94 day median latency versus 62 day latency for the control group (p value = 0.002). Our results demonstrate that site-specific DNA-targeting using homeodomain fusion proteins can enable AML cell differentiation and significantly increase disease latency.
