The p160 coactivator family has three members, SRC-1, GRIP1/TIF-2, and AIB1/ACTR/RAC3/pCIP/TRAM1 (8, 20, 29). The p160 coactivators have a central NR interaction domain consisting of three leucine-rich motifs; a C-terminal region containing two activation domains, AD1 and AD2; and an N-terminal basic helix-loop-helix/Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH-PAS) domain. The C-terminal activation domains AD1 and AD2 recruit secondary coactivators which lie downstream in the signaling pathway and transmit the activation signal from the enhancer element-bound NR to the transcription machinery. AD1 recruits the related histone acetyltransferases p300 and CBP (6, 25, 30), while AD2 recruits the protein arginine methyltransferases CARM1 and PRMT1 (5, 13). These histone-modifying enzymes are recruited to the target gene promoters through their interaction with p160 coactivators, which bind to hormone-activated NRs (4, 24). They contribute to transcriptional activation by acetylating or methylating histones, coactivators, transcription factors, and presumably other unknown proteins. The N-terminal bHLH-PAS domain is the most conserved region among the p160 coactivators (1). In various proteins, this motif is involved in DNA binding, ligand binding, and protein-protein interactions (9, 10). In p160 coactivators, it functions as an additional activation domain, AD3, by recruiting downstream coactivators, including CoCoA and Fli-I (11, 15). Thus, the p160 coactivators contribute to transcriptional activation by serving as bridges between NRs and downstream secondary coactivators.
The N-terminal bHLH-PAS domain of p160 coactivators is large enough (about 350 amino acids) to have multiple interaction surfaces. Here we report the identification of another protein, GRIP1-associated coactivator 63 (GAC63), as a novel 63-kDa NR coactivator, which interacts with both the GRIP1 N-terminal region and some NRs, cooperates synergistically but selectively with other NR coactivators and is required for optimal transcriptional activation by estrogen receptor 
(ER). GAC63 thus represents a new component of the p160 coactivator signal transduction pathway.

Plasmids. The following plasmids were used to express GAC63 in mammalian cells and in vitro: pSG5.HA (5) for proteins with an N-terminal hemagglutinin (HA) epitope; pM (Clontech) for fusion proteins with an N-terminal Gal4-DBD; and pcDNA3.1.V5.His (Invitrogen) for proteins with a C-terminal V5 epitope and His6 tag. pGEX-5X1 vector (Amersham Pharmacia) was used to express fusion proteins with an N-terminal glutathione S-transferase (GST) in Escherichia coli. cDNA fragments encoding the indicated GAC63 amino acids were amplified by PCR with primers containing appropriate restriction sites and inserted into vectors as follows: full-length GAC63, GAC63(1-200), GAC63(200-370), GAC63(370-567), GAC63(1-352), and GAC63(184-567) into EcoRI and XhoI sites of pSG5.HA; full-length GAC63, GAC63(1-134), GAC63(1-352), GAC63(130-492), GAC63(130-567), GAC63(382-567), and GAC63(468-567) into EcoRI and SalI sites of pM; and full-length GAC63 into EcoRI and XhoI sites of pGEX-5X1 and pcDNA3.1.V5.His vectors.
The following plasmids were described previously: pGEX-4T1.GRIP1(5-479), pSG5.HA-GRIP1, pSG5.HA-GRIP1(5-479), pSG5.HA-GRIP1(563-1462), pSG5.HA-CARM1, and pCMV-p300 (11); pSV-AR and pCMV-AR encoding human androgen receptor (AR) and luciferase reporter plasmids MMTV(ERE)-LUC for ER, MMTV-LUC for AR, and GK1-LUC for Gal4 (5); and pSG5-HE0 encoding human ER, pHE15 encoding ER(1-281), and pHE19 encoding ER(179-595) (14, 27).
Protein-protein interaction assays.
GST pull-down assays were performed as described previously (11, 13). Coimmunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed as described previously (11), using the following antibodies: anti-His-tag (Invitrogen), anti-GAC63 antiserum 1bg (produced for this study by Zymed), anti-ER (HC-20; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), normal mouse or rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and anti-HA-tag (3F10; Roche). The GAC63 antiserum was raised against a C-terminal peptide representing GAC63 amino acids 546 to 567 and affinity purified against the same peptide.
Transient transfection assays. Transient transfection assays were performed with CV-1 cells in 12-well plates as described previously (11). After transfection, cells were cultured with or without 100 nM estradiol (E2) or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) for 48 h before harvesting for luciferase activity assays. The results shown are the means and standard deviations of triplicate points. Instead of using typical constitutive reporter plasmids (which are generally stimulated by coactivators) as internal controls, the results shown are representative of at least three independent experiments.
ChIP assays.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed with MCF-7 cells treated with or without 100 nM E2 for 60 min as described previously (11, 17), using 1 µg of anti-ER antibody, 2 µg of anti-GRIP1 antibody A300-025A (Bethyl Laboratories), 2 µg of anti-GAC63 antibody 1bg, or 2 µg of normal rabbit IgG. A total of 0.1 to 5 µl of immunoprecipitated, purified, chromosomal DNA was used for PCR amplification, using the following primers: pS2 (–353/–31), 5'-GGCCATCTCTCACTATGAATCACTTCTGC-3' (forward) and 5'-GGCAGGCTCTGTTTGCTTAAAGAGCG-3' (reverse); and ß-actin (nucleotides 68 to 327 of GenBank file NM001101), 5'-CTCACCATGGATGATGATATCGC-3' (forward), and 5'-ATTTTCTCCATGTCGTCCCAGTTG-3' (reverse).
Quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) reactions were performed with 2 µl of immunoprecipitated chromosomal DNA on a Stratagene Mx3000P Instrument, using SYBR green to detect PCR products. The following primer pairs were used: pS2 (–353/–31 relative to the transcription start site), 5'-GGCCATCTCTCACTATGAATCACTTCTGC-3' (forward) and 5'-GGCAGGCTCTGTTTGCTTAAAGAGCG-3' (reverse); and ß-actin (nucleotides 68 to 327 of GenBank file NM001101), 5'-CTCACCATGGATGATGATATCGC-3' (forward) and 5'-ATTTTCTCCATGTCGTCCCAGTTG-3' (reverse).
RNA interference. RNA interference experiments were performed as described previously (11) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides for GAC63 and scrambled oligonucleotides (same nucleotide composition with scrambled sequence) were synthesized by the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center Microchemical Core Laboratory and annealed to form duplexes. The following siRNA sequences were used: siGAC63, 5'-GAACCUCUCCAAGUAAGAGdTdT-3' (sense) and 5'-CUCUUACUUGGAGAGGUUCdTdT-3' (antisense); and scrambled siRNA, 5'-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACAUdTdT-3' (sense) and 5'-AUGUGACACGUUCGGAGAAdTdT-3' (antisense).
Reverse transcription-QPCR (RT-QPCR) was also performed. Total MCF-7 cell RNA was extracted with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and subjected to reverse transcription by using an iScript cDNA Synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). Two microliters of RT product was subjected QPCR analysis. The primers used were as follows: GAC63, 5'-AAGCCCTGAAGCTCTTGCCAG-3' (forward) and 5'-CCGAGCATTCCTACGAAGTTC-3' (reverse); pS2, 5'-CATGGAGAACAAGGTGATCTG-3' (forward) and 5'-CTTCTGGAGGGACGTCGATGG-3' (reverse); and GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase), 5'-TCTGGTAAAGTGGATATTGTTG-3' (forward) and 5'-GATGGTGATGGGATTTCC-3' (reverse).

Interaction of GAC63 with GRIP1 and NRs. To confirm the interaction between GAC63 and GRIP1 in vitro, we performed GST pull-down assays. GST-GRIP1N (amino acids 5 to 479) attached to glutathione-Sepharose-4B beads efficiently bound full-length GAC63, while GST attached to beads did not (Fig. 2A). Conversely, GST-GAC63 bound specifically to full length GRIP1 and SRC-1 synthesized in vitro (data not shown). These results suggest that GAC63 binds directly to the N-terminal region of p160 coactivators.
|
We also tested whether GAC63 binds to NRs. In GST pull-down assays, ER and AR, translated in vitro with or without the appropriate ligand (E2 for ER and DHT for AR), bound efficiently and specifically to GST-GAC63 (Fig. 3A). The interaction of ER with GST-GAC63 was enhanced modestly by E2 treatment. These findings suggest that GAC63 binds to at least some NRs directly in vitro, in the absence or presence of hormone. In transiently transfected COS-7 cell extracts, weak binding of GAC63 to ER was detected without E2 when antibodies against ER were used for immunoprecipitation (Fig. 3B). No enhancement of binding was detected in the presence of E2. In additional GST pull-down assays, GAC63 bound to a DBD-LBD fragment of ER (in the presence or absence of E2) but bound weakly or not at all to an AF1-DBD fragment of ER, indicating that the ER LBD is the primary binding site for GAC63 (Fig. 3C).
|
(Fig. 4A, assays 1 and 5). Increasing amounts of GAC63 expression plasmid enhanced ER activity only slightly (assays 2 to 4) but cooperated synergistically with GRIP1 as a coactivator (assays 6 to 8). Similar results were obtained with AR (Fig. 4B). In addition to GRIP1, GAC63 also cooperated synergistically with the other two p160 family members, SRC-1e and ACTR (data not shown). The synergistic coactivator function between GRIP1 and GAC63 was not observed when the N-terminal 562 amino acids of GRIP1 (containing the GAC63 binding site) were deleted (Fig. 4C).

Recruitment of GAC63 to an estrogen-regulated promoter.
GAC63 binds to some NRs and to NR coactivator GRIP1 (Fig. 2 and 3) and functions as an NR coactivator when GAC63 is overexpressed in transient transfection assays (Fig. 4 and 5). To test whether endogenous GAC63 is recruited to a native, chromosomally integrated, estrogen-regulated promoter in response to E2, we employed ChIP assays to examine the pS2 promoter in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. As previously reported (11, 21), ER and GRIP1 were recruited to the pS2 promoter region after a 60-min E2 treatment. Similarly, endogenous GAC63 was also recruited to this promoter in a hormone-dependent manner (Fig. 7A). Normal IgG served as a negative control, and the input chromatin levels from hormone-treated and untreated cells were equivalent. The recruitment of ER, GRIP1, and GAC63 was specific for the pS2 promoter, since PCRs with primers for the ß-actin coding region failed to produce a signal from the same immunoprecipitated chromatin fractions. Real-time QPCR analysis confirmed the hormone-dependent recruitment of endogenous GAC63 to the native, chromosomally integrated pS2 gene promoter (Fig. 7B).

protein (Fig. 8A, lower panels). The scrambled-sequence siRNA did not affect the level of GAC63, ß-actin, or ER protein. The expression of the transiently transfected estrogen-dependent reporter gene was inhibited by 60 to 80% by two different amounts of the GAC63-directed siRNA but only 0 to 40% by equivalent amounts of the scrambled-sequence siRNA (Fig. 8A, upper panel). Reduction of endogenous GAC63 levels by siRNA also compromised the induction of endogenous pS2 gene expression by E2, as observed by RT-QPCR (Fig. 8B). The effect on endogenous pS2 gene expression was specific, since the results shown are normalized to the level of GAPDH transcripts. These data indicate that endogenous GAC63 makes important contributions to the ability of endogenous ER and coactivators to activate transcription of target genes.

In this study, we have identified GAC63 as a new NR coactivator which associates with and cooperates synergistically with the p160 coactivators. Overexpressed GAC63 enhances NR function in transient transfection assays (Fig. 4 to 5). In addition, endogenous GAC63 is recruited, along with ER and GRIP1, in an E2-dependent manner to the estrogen-responsive pS2 promoter (Fig. 7). Reduction of the endogenous GAC63 level compromises the ability of hormone-activated ER to activate gene transcription (Fig. 8). By these criteria, GAC63 is a physiologically relevant NR coactivator.
The human orthologue of GAC63, HUEL, is expressed in a wide range of human fetal and adult tissues and cancer cell lines (22). The presence of highly homologous cDNA sequences in Drosophila suggests that GAC63/HUEL is conserved over large evolutionary distances. GAC63/HUEL has several potential nuclear localization signals and is primarily cytoplasmic in interphase cells, but it undergoes translocation to the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle (23). The mouse chromosomal location is 5C3.1 (from LocusLink on the NCBI website), and the human HUEL gene is located at chromosome 4p12-13, a common site of loss of heterozygosity in a variety of cancers (22). The N-terminal region of HUEL (amino acids 127 to 196) has substantial homology with the minimal DNA binding region (amino acids 139 to 219) of the XPA protein (23), which is involved in DNA repair and is one of the proteins mutated in xeroderma pigmentosum. While the importance of this homology remains to be investigated, the highly conserved nature of this region between GAC63/HUEL and XPA, along with the highly conserved nature of this region in XPA proteins from diverse eukaryotic species (23), suggests an important function for this domain.
Mechanism of GAC63 coactivator function.
While GAC63 bound directly to ER and AR (Fig. 3), its functional dependence on GRIP1 and on the N terminus of GRIP1 which binds GAC63 (Fig. 4 and 5) suggests that GAC63 acts as a secondary coactivator; i.e., the interaction of GAC63 with NRs appears insufficient for its coactivator function, while the interaction with GRIP1 is essential. The interaction of GAC63 with the N-terminal region of GRIP1 is mediated by two different regions of GAC63, the N-terminal and central regions, which can independently bind to GRIP1 (Fig. 6A). However, an N-terminal deletion mutant of GAC63 lacking amino acids 1 to 183 still functions in cooperation with GRIP1 as a coactivator for ER (data not shown). Thus, the GRIP1 binding site in the N-terminal region of GAC63, which contains a zinc finger-like motif, is not essential for the coactivator function of GAC63; this implies that the GRIP1 binding site in the central region of GAC63 is sufficient to anchor GAC63 to GRIP1 and thus indirectly to the DNA-bound NR. Perhaps the two GRIP1 binding domains represent redundant functions in this particular assay system. An LXXLL motif in the C-terminal region of GAC63 (amino acids 461 to 465) and other related sequences in the central region could represent an NR binding site(s). The importance of these for GAC63 coactivator activity remains to be determined.
The fact that reduction of the endogenous level of GAC63 compromises the activity of ER (Fig. 8) suggests that GAC63 activates unique downstream targets that are important for transcriptional activation. This conclusion is also supported by the specific coactivator synergy between GAC63 and CARM1 (Fig. 5), which would not be expected if GAC63 and CARM1 shared the same downstream targets. The weak activation domain at the C terminus of GAC63 (Fig. 6B) may function as a signal output domain which contacts a downstream component of the signaling pathway or the transcription machinery.
Multiple contributions of the p160 coactivator complex to the transcriptional activation process. The large size and high degree of conservation of the bHLH-PAS domains of p160 coactivators (350 amino acids with 60% amino acid sequence identity among the three family members) suggest that this domain has many different interaction surfaces. In fact, several different proteins have already been reported to interact physically and functionally with p160 bHLH-PAS domains. Among these, proteins such as MEF-2C and TEF4 are DNA-binding transcriptional activator proteins which use p160 proteins as primary coactivators (3, 7); the sites they bind to on the p160 coactivators serve as signal input domains. In contrast, the requirement for the N-terminal bHLH-PAS domain of GRIP1 for its coactivator function demonstrates that this region also serves as a third activation or signal output domain (designated AD3) for p160 coactivators (11); AD3 complements the two C-terminal activation domains, AD1 and AD2, which bind CBP/p300 and CARM1/PRMT1, respectively. The secondary coactivators that mediate downstream signaling for the AD3 domain include CoCoA (11), Fli-I (15), and GAC63, which are apparently recruited to the promoter through their interaction with the bHLH-PAS domains of p160 coactivators. Three other proteins with properties of coactivators also bind to the N-terminal bHLH-PAS regions of p160 coactivators: hMMS19, an ER AF-1 coactivator (28); cyclin T1, a component of the transcription elongation factor p-TEFb (12); and BAF57, a subunit of the Swi/Snf complex (2). ANCO-1, which represses the activity of hormone-activated NRs, has also recently been reported to bind p160 bHLH-PAS domains (31). Thus, the bHLH-PAS domains of p160 coactivators are versatile protein interaction domains containing many interaction surfaces which serve diverse functions.
The fact that CoCoA, Fli-I, and GAC63 have no obvious sequence homology and completely different structural elements—CoCoA has a large coiled-coil domain, Fli-I contains gelsolin-like motifs and leucine-rich repeats, and GAC63 has a zinc finger-like motif and leucine zipper-like motifs—suggests that they recognize different surfaces or epitopes of the p160 N-terminal domain and contribute as coactivators by activating different downstream targets in the chromatin and transcription machinery. The nature of the downstream targets and the specific components of the transcription machinery which are regulated by CoCoA, Fli-I, and GAC63 are currently under investigation in our lab.
