To study the mechanisms by which
deacetylases regulate transcription by RNA polymerase II, we
investigated the biochemical properties of purified recombinant
Drosophila histone deacetylase 1 (dHDAC1, also known as
dRPD3). We found that purified dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 polypeptides
possess substantial deacetylase activity. Thus, deacetylation by dHDAC1
does not require any additional cofactors. Gal4-dHDAC1, but not dHDAC1,
was observed to repress transcription in vitro by about
2-3-fold from chromatin templates, but not from naked DNA templates,
in a Gal4 site-dependent manner. This magnitude of
repression is similar to that commonly seen by deacetylases in
vivo, as assessed by treatment of cells with deacetylase
inhibitors. Transcriptional repression by Gal4-dHDAC1 was blocked by
the deacetylase inhibitor, FR901228, and thus, deacetylase activity
correlates with repression. Single round transcription analyses showed
that Gal4-dHDAC1 reduces the absolute number of productive initiation
complexes with chromatin templates. Moreover, with chromatin templates
that were assembled with completely purified components, Gal4-dHDAC1
was found to deacetylate nucleosomal histones as well as to repress
transcription. These experiments provide biochemical evidence for the
requirement of chromatin for transcriptional repression by dHDAC1 and
further show that dHDAC1 acts to repress the transcription initiation process.
The precise control of gene transcription is essential for the
proper growth and development of an organism. In eukaryotes, there are
thousands of proteins that participate in the regulation of
transcription by RNA polymerase II. These factors include
sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that interact with enhancer and
silencer elements, the RNA polymerase II transcriptional machinery,
chromatin remodeling factors, and enzymes that covalently modify
histones and other proteins such as transcription factors (for reviews, see Refs. 1-14).
There has recently been considerable effort devoted to the effects of
histone acetyltransferases
(HATs)1 as well as histone
deacetylases (HDACs) upon transcriptional activity. In general, the
acetylation of core histones correlates with transcriptional
activation, whereas the deacetylation of core histones correlates with
transcriptional repression. The importance of HATs and HDACs in the
control of gene expression is well established, but the basic molecular
mechanisms by which they act are a subject of current investigation.
For instance, HATs can acetylate a variety of proteins other than core
histones, and thus, it will be important to determine the importance of the acetylation of histones as well as nonhistone proteins.
Transcriptional studies of HDACs have been generally carried out in
transiently transfected cells. In many instances, the treatment of
cells with HDAC inhibitors, such as TSA or trapoxin, has been found to
result in a 2-4-fold increase in the transcription of HDAC-repressed
genes (15-20), although in some cases, higher levels of
transcriptional enhancement by HDAC inhibitors have been observed
(21-23). LexA- or Gal4-HDAC fusion proteins have also been found to
repress transcription in vivo (24-26), but the role of
deacetylation in repression by these factors was not tested with HDAC inhibitors.
The ability of HDACs to repress transcription in vitro has
not yet been tested. Hence, it is not yet known whether a chromatin template is required for repression by HDACs. It is possible, for
instance, that HDACs repress transcription by acting through transcription factors or coregulators instead of the chromatin template. It is also not known whether HDACs repress the assembly of
the transcription preinitiation complex or a post-initiation process
such as transcriptional elongation.
To address these questions, we performed a biochemical analysis of
Drosophila histone deacetylase 1 (dHDAC1, also known as dRPD3; Refs. 27 and 28). To this end, we prepared purified, recombinant
dHDAC1 proteins that are highly active for the deacetylation of
histones in vitro and then investigated the ability of these proteins to repress transcription by RNA polymerase II in
vitro.
Transcription Factors and DNA
Templates--
His6-tagged NF- Histone Deacetylase Assays--
Histone deacetylase assays with
free histones (as in Fig. 1) were performed as follows. Purified
Drosophila core histones were prepared by the method of
Bulger and Kadonaga (33) and then acetylated with
[1-14C]acetic anhydride (ICN Radiochemicals), as
described by Hebbes et al. (34). The resulting
14C-acetyl histones were separated from the free labeled
acetate and unreacted acetic anhydride by extensive dialysis. Histone deacetylase reactions were performed by incubation of the purified dHDAC derivatives (200 nM dHDAC1 or Gal4-dHDAC1)
with 14C-acetyl histones (20 µg/ml; 1.5 µM
in histone polypeptides) for 30 min at 30 °C in buffer (50 µl of
total reaction volume) consisting of 50 mM Hepes,
K+, pH 7.6, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM
EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 5% glycerol. The
reactions were terminated by the addition of HCl (to 0.82 M
final concentration) and acetic acid (to 0.12 M final concentration), and the resulting 14C-labeled acetic acid
was extracted with ethyl acetate and quantitated with a liquid
scintillation counter. The reported amounts of free 14C-acetic acid were obtained by subtracting
the background levels of 14C-acetic acid (in reactions with
buffer only) from the amounts of 14C-acetic acid observed
with dHDAC1 or Gal4-dHDAC1. (The background levels of
14C-acetic acid were typically about 13-20% of the total
radiolabeled material.)
The deacetylation of nucleosomal histones (as in Fig. 4A)
was assayed as follows. Purified Drosophila core histones (1 mg/ml; Ref. 33) were acetylated with purified His6-tagged
human p300 (100 nM; Refs. 30 and 31) and 1 mM
acetyl-CoA for 30 min at 30 °C. The His6-tagged p300 was
depleted from the sample with Ni-NTA resin (Qiagen), and the resulting
p300-acetylated histones were assembled into chromatin with purified
ACF and dNAP-1, as described by Ito et al. (35). This
chromatin was incubated with purified dHDAC1 derivatives (100 nM Gal4-dHDAC1 or dHDAC1) for 30 min at 30 °C, digested
with micrococcal nuclease, and immunoprecipitated with anti-acetyl
(Lys9, Lys14) histone H3 or anti-acetyl
(Lys5, Lys8, Lys12,
Lys16) histone H4 (Upstate Biotechnology). The
resulting DNA fragments were resolved by 1.25% agarose gel
electrophoresis and detected by Southern blot analysis.
The HDAC inhibitor FR901228 (36, 37) was a generous gift of Dr.
Hidenori Nakajima (Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Ibaraki,
Japan). Prior to use, FR901228 was dissolved in methanol to a
concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and then further diluted to a working stock
solution of 0.1 mg/ml in methanol and stored at Chromatin Assembly and in Vitro Transcription--
Transcription
of S190-assembled chromatin (33, 40) was performed with HeLa nuclear
extracts, essentially as described previously (30, 31), except that a
3-fold mass excess (relative to the template DNA prior to chromatin
assembly) of pUC118 was added to the reaction medium after chromatin
assembly to remove any additional core histones. Transcription of
chromatin that was assembled with purified recombinant ACF, purified
recombinant dNAP-1, purified core histones, DNA, and ATP was carried
out as described by Jiang et al. (41), except that the core
histones were pre-acetylated with purified recombinant p300 and acetyl CoA, as described above for the nucleosomal histone deacetylase assays.
Quantitation of the data was carried out with a PhosphorImager (Molecular Dynamics). All reaction conditions were performed in duplicate, and each experiment was performed a minimum of two (but
typically, several) independent times to establish the reproducibility of the results. The amounts of transcription are reported as the mean ± S.D., relative to a reference indicated by parentheses.
To study the mechanisms by which histone deacetylases regulate
transcription by RNA polymerase II, we synthesized
Drosophila HDAC1 (dHDAC1) and Gal4-dHDAC1 in Sf9
cells by using a baculovirus expression system and then purified the
proteins to near homogeneity (Fig.
1A). dHDAC1 is in the
Rpd3-like family of histone deacetylases and is also known as dRPD3
(27, 28). Gal4-dHDAC1 consists of the Gal4 DNA-binding domain fused to
the N terminus of full-length dHDAC1.

B p65 protein (29) was
synthesized in Sf9 cells by using a recombinant baculovirus
kindly provided by Dr. J. Hiscott (Lady Davis Institute, Montreal,
Canada). The p65 protein was synthesized and purified essentially as
described for His6-tagged p300 (30, 31). FLAG-tagged Sp1
was purified by using a recombinant baculovirus that was kindly
provided by Drs. Soojin Ryu and Robert Tjian (University of California,
Berkeley, CA). Constructions that encode His6-tagged
versions of full-length dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 were prepared from
the dHDAC1 cDNA (27) that was generously provided by Drs. Andrew
Barlow and Bryan Turner (University of Birmingham, United Kingdom). The
resulting dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 proteins were synthesized in
Sf9 cells by using a baculovirus expression system (PharMingen)
and purified by Ni(II) affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA resin; Qiagen).
Gal4-dHDAC1 consists of the N-terminal 147 amino acid residues of the
yeast Gal4 protein (which contains the DNA binding region) fused to the
N terminus of full-length dHDAC1 protein. The plasmid pHIV contains the
proximal promoter region of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (from
137
to +38 relative to the +1 transcriptional start site). The plasmid pG5HIV is identical to pHIV except that it contains five tandem Gal4
binding sites (derived from pGIE-0; Ref. 32) upstream of the HIV-1
promoter, with the nearest Gal4 site located 48 base pairs from
the upstream NF-
B site in the HIV-1 promoter.
20 °C. The HDAC
inhibitor TSA (Sigma catalog number T8552; Refs. 38 and 39) was
dissolved in ethanol to a concentration of 1.5 mg/ml and then further
diluted to a working stock solution of 0.15 mg/ml in ethanol and stored
at
20 °C. The addition of FR901228 or TSA resulted in a final
concentration of 0.1% (v/v) methanol or ethanol in the histone
deacetylase or transcription reactions. Control reactions with buffers
containing 0.1% methanol or ethanol were performed to ensure that the
effects seen with FR901228 or TSA were due to the specific inhibitors
instead of the buffer medium.

Fig. 1.
Purified recombinant dHDAC1 and
Gal4-dHDAC1 possess high levels of histone deacetylase activity.
A, purification of dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1.
His6-tagged versions of full-length dHDAC1 and
Gal4-dHDAC1 were synthesized in Sf9 cells with a baculovirus
expression system and then purified to near homogeneity by Ni(II)
affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were subjected to 10%
polyacrylamide-SDS gel electrophoresis and staining with Coomassie
Brilliant Blue R-250. The positions of molecular mass markers (in
kilodaltons) are indicated. B, histone deacetylase activity
of purified dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1. Where indicated, reactions were
performed in the presence of the following histone deacetylase
inhibitors: sodium butyrate (10 mM), FR901228 (100 ng/ml;
185 nM), or TSA (150 ng/ml; 500 nM).
The purified recombinant dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 were then tested for histone deacetylase activity. For these assays, we prepared 14C-acetyl histones by incubation of purified Drosophila core histones (which are mostly unacetylated) with [1-14C]acetic anhydride under conditions that result in the acetylation of essentially all of the unmodified lysine residues in the core histones (34). With these 14C-acetyl histones, we observed that purified dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 can deacetylate about 38 and 15%, respectively, of the total acetyl lysine residues at a molar ratio of histone polypeptides to dHDAC1 (or Gal4-dHDAC1) of ~7.5:1 (Fig. 1B). These findings thus indicate that the purified dHDAC1 protein is highly active for deacetylation of free histones in the absence of any other cofactors.
We also observed that the HDAC activity of the recombinant proteins is completely inhibited by 10 mM sodium butyrate, 150 ng/ml (500 nM) TSA, or 100 ng/ml (185 nM) FR901228 (Fig. 1B). Whereas sodium butyrate and TSA are well known HDAC inhibitors, FR901228 has recently been found to be a potent and specific inhibitor of histone deacetylases (36, 37). In fact, FR901228 inhibits HDAC activity at a lower concentration than TSA (37). Therefore, based on the potency, specificity, and chemical stability of FR901228, we chose to use this compound for the inhibition of HDAC activity.
Next, we tested the ability of the dHDAC1 proteins to modulate
transcription by RNA polymerase II. To this end, we used a chromatin
transcription system based on the Drosophila S190 chromatin assembly extract (30-32, 40, 42). Two different plasmids were used as
reporter templates: pHIV, which contains the HIV-1 long terminal repeat
promoter; and pG5HIV, which is identical to pHIV except that it
contains five Gal4 binding sites upstream of the HIV promoter fragment
(Fig. 2). (To minimize steric effects of the binding of Gal4-dHDAC1 to the promoter, the Gal4 sites were placed
upstream of the HIV-1 promoter.) The plasmids were assembled into
chromatin with the S190 extract and then subjected to in vitro transcription analysis with a HeLa nuclear extract.
Transcription was activated by Sp1 and NF-B p65 proteins, which were
added along with the dHDAC1 derivatives subsequent to chromatin
assembly. As shown in Fig. 2, Gal4-dHDAC1, but not dHDAC1, represses
transcription by about 2-fold from pG5HIV, but not from pHIV. Thus,
transcriptional repression by dHDAC1 requires its recruitment to the
template, which occurs, in this instance, via the Gal4 protein fusion
and Gal4 binding sites. It is additionally important to note that dHDAC1 was found to have higher HDAC activity than Gal4-dHDAC1 (Fig.
1B), and hence, the inability of dHDAC1 to repress
transcription was not due to the lack of intrinsic HDAC activity.
|
We further examined the repression of transcription by the
Gal4-dHDAC1 protein as follows. First, we found that repression is
blocked by the HDAC inhibitor, FR901228, and that repression is not
observed with Gal4-(1-147) alone (which corresponds to the Gal4
portion of Gal4-dHDAC1) (Fig.
3A). Thus, repression requires the dHDAC1 protein and correlates with the deacetylase activity. Second, we observed that Gal4- dHDAC1 does not repress transcription from naked DNA templates (Fig. 3B). Hence, repression by
Gal4-dHDAC1 requires chromatin and is not due to an effect upon the
intrinsic transcription process.
|
To determine the step in the transcription process that is affected by Gal4-dHDAC1, we carried out single round transcription reactions. In these experiments, we used the detergent Sarkosyl, which inhibits the assembly of the transcription preinitiation complex but not the elongation of the transcriptionally engaged polymerase (43-45). Chromatin transcription reactions were performed as described in the legend to Fig. 2 and then Sarkosyl was added immediately (10 s) after the initiation of transcription by the addition of ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates. These experiments revealed that Gal4-dHDAC1 mediates about 3.5-fold repression of the assembly of productive transcription preinitiation complexes (Fig. 3C). Moreover, repression by Gal4-dHDAC1 was found to be inhibited by FR901228 as well as dependent upon the presence of Gal4 sites in the DNA template. Therefore, these results indicate that Gal4-dHDAC1 represses the transcription initiation process.
To investigate further the requirement for chromatin for repression by Gal4-dHDAC1, we tested the effect of Gal4- dHDAC1 upon chromatin templates that were assembled with completely purified components instead of the crude S190 extract. In these experiments, periodic nucleosome arrays were assembled with purified recombinant ACF, purified recombinant dNAP-1, purified core histones, plasmid DNA (pG5HIV or pHIV), and ATP, as described previously by Ito et al. (35). The chromatin that is assembled with the purified factors is not subject to potential alteration by undefined factors that are present in the S190 extract.
We first tested the ability of dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 to deacetylate
histones that are packaged into chromatin. With chromatin containing five Gal4 sites, Gal4-dHDAC1 deacetylates nucleosomal histones H3 and H4 more efficiently than dHDAC1 (Fig.
4A). This preferential
deacetylation by Gal4-dHDAC1 relative to dHDAC1 was not seen with a
template (pHIV) lacking Gal4 sites (data not shown). In addition, the
deacetylation of nucleosomal H3 and H4 was inhibited by FR901228 (Fig.
4A). We thus conclude that Gal4-dHDAC1 can deacetylate nucleosomal histones when the protein is recruited to the chromatin template.
|
Next, we examined the effects of Gal4-dHDAC1 upon transcription of chromatin that is assembled with the purified components. Chromatin was assembled onto pG5HIV (five Gal4 sites) or pHIV (no Gal4 sites), as described above for the chromatin deacetylase assays (Fig. 4A) and then transcribed with a HeLa extract. In these experiments, we observed that Gal4-dHDAC1 mediates a 2.5-fold repression that is dependent upon Gal4 binding sites and is inhibited by FR901228 (Fig. 4B). Thus, these results with the defined chromatin templates further support the conclusion that chromatin is required for repression by Gal4-dHDAC1.
In summary, we have found that purified recombinant dHDAC1 and Gal4-dHDAC1 proteins are highly active histone deacetylases in the absence of any other factors and that Gal4-dHDAC1 is able to repress transcription in vitro in a chromatin-specific manner. Transcriptional repression by Gal4-dHDAC1 is blocked by the deacetylase inhibitor, FR901228. With chromatin templates, we observed a 2-3-fold repression of transcription by Gal4-dHDAC1. Consistent with our results, many studies carried out in vivo have found that TSA or trapoxin treatment of cells causes a 2-4-fold increase in transcription (15-20, 24). The collective data suggest that many processes, including protein deacetylation, contribute to the proper regulation of gene activity.
The findings of this study provide biochemical evidence for the
requirement of chromatin for transcriptional repression by HDACs and
further reveal that HDACs repress transcription initiation. In
addition, the availability of highly active, purified recombinant dHDAC1 will facilitate the analysis of the role of protein
deacetylation in a variety of cellular processes.
