RING1 inhibits transactivation of RBP-J by Notch through interaction with LIM protein KyoT2.

چکیده
The DNA-binding protein recombination signal binding protein-Jkappa (RBP-J) mediates transcriptional activation of the Notch intracellular domain (NIC). In the absence of transcriptional activators, RBP-J suppresses transcription by recruiting co-suppressors. KyoT2 is a LIM domain protein that inhibits the RBP-J-mediated transcriptional activation. Here we provide evidence that the polycomb group protein RING1 interacts with the LIM domains of KyoT2 in yeast and mammalian cells. The interaction between KyoT2 and RING1 was detected both in vitro and in vivo. By using a co-immunoprecipitation assay, we also showed that, though RING1 and RBP-J did not associate directly, the two molecules could be co-precipitated simultaneously by KyoT2, probably through the LIM domains and the RBP-J-binding motif of KyoT2, respectively. These results suggested the formation of a three-molecule complex consisting of RBP-J, KyoT2 and RING1 in cells. Moreover, we found that overexpression of RING1 together with KyoT2 in cells inhibited transactivation of RBP-J by NIC. Suppression of the NIC- mediated transactivation of RBP-J by RING1 was abrogated by overexpression of KBP1, a molecule that competed with RING1 for binding to LIM domains of KyoT2, suggesting that suppression of RBP-J by RING1 was dependent on its associating with KyoT2. Taken together, our data suggested that there might be at least two ways of the KyoT2-mediated suppression of RBP-J, namely competition for binding sites with transactivators, and recruitment of suppressors such as RING1.

LIM protein KyoT2 negatively regulates transcription by association with the RBP-J DNA-binding protein.
The RBP-J/Su(H) DNA-binding protein plays a key role in transcriptional regulation by targeting Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) and the intracellular portions of Notch receptors to specific promoters. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we isolated a LIM-only protein, KyoT, which physically interacts with RBP-J. Differential splicing gave rise to two transcripts of the KyoT gene, Ky...

Involvement of RBP-J in biological functions of mouse Notch1 and its derivatives.
Notch is involved in the cell fate determination of many cell lineages. The intracellular region (RAMIC) of Notch1 transactivates genes by interaction with a DNA binding protein RBP-J. We have compared the activities of mouse RAMIC and its derivatives in transactivation and differentiation suppression of myogenic precursor cells. RAMIC comprises two separate domains, IC for transactivation and ...

Notch signaling is involved in the cell fate determination of various cell lineages. Notch interaction with its ligand induces the cleavage of its intracellular domain (IC), and the Notch IC translocates to the nucleus and binds to RBP-J to transactivate transcription of target genes. All four Notches in mammals bind to RBP-J to exert their transactivation activities. Notch is expressed in deve...

BACKGROUND The mammalian transcription factor RBP-J kappa binds to the DNA sequence motif CGTGGGAA and is involved in the regulation of gene expression; for example, it plays a part in the transactivation of viral and cellular genes by Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-2. The Drosophila homologue of RBP-J kappa is the product of the Suppressor of Hairless (Su(H)) gene. Su(H) is a neurogenic ge...
