RESUMO
Interplay among GATA transcription factors is an important determinant of cell fate during hematopoiesis. Although GATA-2 regulates hematopoietic stem cell function, mechanisms controlling GATA-2 expression are undefined. Of particular interest is the repression of GATA-2, because sustained GATA-2 expression in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells alters hematopoiesis. GATA-2 transcription is derepressed in erythroid precursors lacking GATA-1, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, we show that GATA-1 binds a highly restricted upstream region of the ≈70-kb GATA-2 domain, despite >80 GATA sites throughout the domain. GATA-2 also binds this region in the absence of GATA-1. Genetic complementation studies in GATA-1-null cells showed that GATA-1 rapidly displaces GATA-2, which is coupled to transcriptional repression. GATA-1 also displaces CREB-binding protein (CBP), despite the fact that GATA-1 binds CBP in other contexts. Repression correlates with reduced histone acetylation domain-wide, but not altered methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4. The GATA factor-binding region exhibited cell-type-specific enhancer activity in transient transfection assays. We propose that GATA-1 instigates GATA-2 repression by means of disruption of positive autoregulation, followed by establishment of a domain-wide repressive chromatin structure. Such a mechanism is predicted to be critical for the control of hematopoiesis.
