The human HOXA9 protein uses paralog-specific residues of the homeodomain to interact with TALE-class cofactors.

Abstract:

:HOX proteins interact with PBX and MEIS cofactors, which belong to the TALE-class of homeodomain (HD)-containing transcription factors. Although the formation of HOX-PBX complexes depends on a unique conserved HOX motif called hexapeptide (HX), the additional presence of MEIS induces a remodeling of the interaction, leading to a global dispensability of the HX motif for trimeric complex formation in the large majority of HOX proteins. In addition, it was shown that the anterior HOXB3 and central HOXA7 and HOXC8 proteins could use different alternative TALE interaction motifs, with or without the HX motif, depending on the DNA-binding site and cell context. Here we dissected the molecular interaction properties of the human posterior HOXA9 protein with its TALE cofactors, PBX1 and MEIS1. Analysis was performed on different DNA-binding sites in vitro and by doing Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) in different cell lines. Notably, we observed that the HOXA9-TALE interaction relies consistently on the redundant activity of the HX motif and two paralog-specific residues of the HOXA9 HD. Together with previous work, our results show that HOX proteins interact with their generic TALE cofactors through various modalities, ranging from unique and context-independent to versatile and context-dependent TALE binding interfaces.
