Transcription Factor 1

Previous work has implicated heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) as the primary transcription factor responsible for the transcriptional response to heat stress in mammalian cells. We characterized the heat shock response of mammalian cells by measuring changes in transcript levels and assaying binding of HSF1 to promoter regions for candidate heat shock genes chosen by a combination of genome-wide computational and experimental methods. We found that many heat-inducible genes have HSF1 binding sites (heat shock elements, HSEs) in their promoters that are bound by HSF1. Surprisingly, for 24 heat-inducible genes, we detected no HSEs and no HSF1 binding. Furthermore, of 182 promoters with likely HSE sequences, we detected HSF1 binding at only 94 of these promoters. Also unexpectedly, we found 48 genes with HSEs in their promoters that are bound by HSF1 but that nevertheless did not show induction after heat shock in the cell types we examined. We also studied the transcriptional response to heat shock in fibroblasts from mice lacking the HSF1 gene. We found 36 genes in these cells that are induced by heat as well as they are in wild-type cells. These results provide evidence that HSF1 does not regulate the induction of every transcript that accumulates after heat shock, and our results suggest that an independent posttranscriptional mechanism regulates the accumulation of a significant number of transcripts.

Transcription Factor 1

The heat shock response (HSR) is characterized by the rapid and robust induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs), including HSP70, in response to heat shock, and is regulated by heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) in mammalian cells. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), which can form a complex with HSF1 through the scaffold protein PARP13, has been suggested to be involved in the HSR. However, its effects on and regulatory mechanisms of the HSR are not well understood. Here, we show that prior to heat shock the HSF1-PARP13-PARP1 complex binds to HSP70 promoter. In response to heat shock, activated and auto-PARylated PARP1 dissociates from HSF1-PARP13 and redistributes throughout HSP70 locus. Remarkably, chromatin in HSP70 promoter is initially PARylated at high levels and decondensed, whereas that in the gene body is moderately PARylated afterwards. Activated HSF1 then binds to the promoter efficiently, and promotes the HSR. Chromatin PARylation and HSF1 binding to the promoter are also facilitated by phosphorylation-dependent dissociation of PARP13. Furthermore, the HSR and proteostasis capacity are reduced by pretreatment with genotoxic stresses, which disrupt the ternary complex. These results provide one of the priming mechanisms of the HSR that facilitates HSF1 binding to DNA during heat shock.

AbstractThe heat shock response is a universal transcriptional response to proteotoxic stress orchestrated by heat shock transcription factor Hsf1 in all eukaryotic cells. Despite over 40 years of intense research, the mechanism of HSF1 activity regulation remains poorly understood at a molecular level. In metazoa Hsf1 trimerizes upon heat shock through a leucin-zipper domain and binds to DNA. How Hsf1 is dislodged from DNA and monomerized remained enigmatic. Here, we demonstrate that trimeric Hsf1 is dissociated from DNA in vitro by Hsc70 and DnaJB1. Hsc70 acts at two distinct sites on Hsf1. Hsf1 trimers are monomerized by successive cycles of entropic pulling, unzipping the triple leucine-zipper. This process directly monitors the concentration of Hsc70 and DnaJB1. During heat shock adaptation Hsc70 first binds to the transactivation domain leading to partial attenuation of the response and subsequently, at higher concentrations, Hsc70 removes Hsf1 from DNA to restore the resting state.

Abstract The heat-shock response is a crucial system for survival of organisms under heat stress. During heat-shock stress, gene expression is globally suppressed, but expression of some genes, such as chaperone genes, is selectively promoted. These selectively activated genes have critical roles in the heat-shock response, so it is necessary to discover heat-inducible genes to reveal the overall heat-shock response picture. The expression profiling of heat-inducible protein-coding genes has been well-studied, but that of non-coding genes remains unclear in mammalian systems. Here, we used RNA-seq analysis of heat shock-treated A549 cells to identify seven novel long non-coding RNAs that responded to heat shock. We focussed on CTD-2377D24.6 RNA, which is most significantly induced by heat shock, and found that the promoter region of CTD-2377D24.6 contains the binding site for transcription factor HSF1 (heat shock factor 1), which plays a central role in the heat-shock response. We confirmed that HSF1 knockdown cancelled the induction of CTD-2377D24.6 RNA upon heat shock. These results suggest that CTD-2377D24.6 RNA is a novel heat shock-inducible transcript that is transcribed by HSF1.

ABSTRACT Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF-1) activates the transcription of heat shock genes in eukaryotes. Under normal physiological growth conditions, HSF-1 is a monomer. Its transcriptional activity is repressed by constitutive phosphorylation. Upon activation, HSF-1 forms trimers, acquires DNA binding activity, increases transcriptional activity, and appears as punctate granules in the nucleus. In this study, using bromouridine incorporation and confocal laser microscopy, we demonstrated that newly synthesized pre-mRNAs colocalize to the HSF-1 punctate granules after heat shock, suggesting that these granules are sites of transcription. We further present evidence that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK MAPK) participate in the down regulation of HSF-1 transcriptional activity. Transient increases in the expression of GSK-3β facilitate the disappearance of HSF-1 punctate granules and reduce hsp-70 transcription after heat shock. We have also shown that ERK is the priming kinase for GSK-3β. Taken together, these results indicate that GSK-3β and ERK MAPK facilitate the inactivation of activated HSF-1 after heat shock by dispersing HSF-1 from the sites of transcription.

ABSTRACT So far attenuation of pathogens has been mainly obtained by chemical or heat treatment of microbial pathogens. Recently, live attenuated strains have been produced by genetic modification. We have previously demonstrated that in several prokaryotes as well as in yeasts and mammalian cells the heat shock response is controlled by the membrane physical state (MPS). We have also shown that in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 (Salmonella Typhimurium) overexpression of a Δ12-desaturase gene alters the MPS, inducing a sharp impairment of transcription of major heat shock genes and failure of the pathogen to grow inside macrophage (MΦ) (A. Porta et al., J. Bacteriol. 192:1988-1998, 2010). Here, we show that overexpression of a homologous Δ9-desaturase sequence in the highly virulent G217B strain of the human fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum causes loss of its ability to survive and persist within murine MΦ along with the impairment of the heat shock response. When the attenuated strain of H. capsulatum was injected in a mouse model of infection, it did not cause disease. Further, treated mice were protected when challenged with the virulent fungal parental strain. Attenuation of virulence in MΦ of two evolutionarily distant pathogens was obtained by genetic modification of the MPS, suggesting that this is a new method that may be used to produce attenuation or loss of virulence in both other intracellular prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens. This new procedure to generate attenuated forms of pathogens may be used eventually to produce a novel class of vaccines based on the genetic manipulation of a pathogen's membrane fluid state and stress response.
