dc.description.abstract | Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is a key player in breast cancer progression. Recently, ERalpha cistrome and interactome were mapped in MCF-7 cells, revealing the importance of spatial chromatin organization in estrogen-mediated transcription. Our study revealed that ERalpha binding sites (ERBS) identified from Chromatin Interaction Analysis-Paired End DiTag (ChIA-PET) are enriched of AP-2 motifs. AP-2gamma, a transcription factor associated with breast cancer, binds to ERBS harboring AP-2 motifs in a ligand-independent manner. Perturbation of AP-2gamma expression impaired ERalpha DNA binding, long-range chromatin interactions and gene transcription. In our genome-wide analyses, a large number AP-2gamma and ERalpha binding events converge together across the genome. Majority of these shared regions are also occupied by a pioneer factor, FoxA1. Functional interplay between AP-2gamma and FoxA1 was further demonstrated. Finally, ERBS associated with long-range chromatin interactions preferentially co-localize with AP-2gamma and FoxA1. Together, our results suggest that AP-2gamma is a novel ERalpha collaborative factor. | |
