摘要
The orphan nuclear receptor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF-4) regulates the expression of many liver-specific genes both during development and in the adult animal. Towards understanding the molecular mechanisms by which HNF-4 functions, we have established in vitro transcription systems that faithfully recapitulate HNF-4 activity. Here we have focused on the coactivator requirements for HNF-4, especially for the multicomponent TRAP/SMCC/Mediator complex that has emerged as the central regulatory module of the transcription apparatus. Using a system that has been reconstituted from purified transcription factors, as well as one consisting of unfractionated nuclear extract from which TRAP/SMCC/Mediator has been depleted by specific antibodies, we demonstrate a strong dependence of HNF-4 function on this coactivator. Importantly, we further show a TRAP/SMCC/Mediator-dependence for HNF-4 transcriptional activation from chromatin templates. The latter involves cooperation with the histone acetyltransferase-containing coactivator p300, in accord with a synergistic mode of action of the two divergent coactivators. We also show that HNF-4 and TRAP/SMCC/Mediator can interact physically. This interaction likely involves primary HNF-4 activation function 2 (AF-2) -dependent interactions with the TRAP220 subunit of TRAP/SMCC/Mediator and secondary (AF-2-independent) interactions with TRAP170/RGR1. Finally, recruitment experiments using immobilized templates strongly suggest that the functional consequences of the physical interaction probably are manifested at a postrecruitment step in the activation pathway.
