35,
which lacks the repressor domain (the C-terminal 35 amino acids), fails
to relieve this repression. This finding suggests that the repressor
domain of COUP-TFI may squelch a limiting amount of corepressor in HeLa
cells. In addition, increasing concentrations of TRß also can relieve
the COUP-TFI repression in a hormone-sensitive manner. Similarly,
overexpression of increasing concentration of COUP-TFI, but not
COUP-TFI
35, can squelch the silencing activity of the unliganded
TRß. Collectively, these results indicate that COUP-TFI and TRß
share a common corepressor(s) for their silencing activity. To
determine which corepressor is involved in the COUP-TF-silencing
activity, we used a yeast two-hybrid and in vitro GST
pull-down assays to demonstrate that COUP-TFI can interact with the
fragment of N-CoR (nuclear receptor-corepressor) encoding amino acids
921-2453 and the fragments of SMRT (silencing mediator for retinoic
acid receptor and TR) encoding amino acids 29564 and 565-1289,
respectively. Interestingly, the fragment of SMRT encoding amino acids
11921495, which strongly interacts with TRß, interacts very weakly
with COUP-TFI. Furthermore, overexpression of N-CoR or SMRT potentiates
the silencing activity of COUP-TFI and can relieve the
COUP-TFI-mediated squelching of Gal4-COUP-TFI activity. Therefore, our
studies indicate that N-CoR and SMRT act as corepressors for the
COUP-TFI silencing activity. | INTRODUCTION |

Silencing activity of unliganded TR and RAR requires limiting factors termed corepressors (5). Recently, two corepressors that bind to unliganded TR and RAR have been cloned using a yeast two-hybrid screen: N-CoR (nuclear receptor-corepressor) (10, 11) and SMRT (silencing mediator for RAR and TR) (12, 13, 14, 15). Binding of these corepressors is necessary for unliganded receptors to silence the activity of target promoters. Prevailing evidence suggests that binding of hormone changes the conformation of the receptors, which results in the release of the corepressor and recruitment of coactivators, thereby abolishing their silencing activity. These two corepressors exhibit significant sequence homologies in their receptor-interacting domains, suggesting the existence of a corepressor gene family. COUP-TFs (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factors) belong to the steroid receptor superfamily and are classified as orphan receptors because their ligand has yet to be defined. There are two COUP-TF genes in mammals, COUP-TFI and COUP-TFII. COUP-TFs have been implicated in neurogenesis, organogenesis, and cell fate determination (16, 17, 18, 19). COUP-TFs can form stable homodimers and bind to a variety of hormone response elements recognized by other members of the steroid receptor superfamily, such as RAR, retinoid X receptor (RXR), TR, vitamin D receptor (VDR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4. COUP-TFs can thereby inhibit transcriptional activities of these receptors on both consensus and natural response elements (17, 20). Four mechanisms have been proposed to address COUP-TFs ability to inhibit the transactivation function of other members of the steroid receptor superfamily. First, COUP-TFs repress the hormone-dependent transactivation of target genes by VDR, TR, and RAR through direct competition for occupancy of their response elements (21, 22, 23). Second, COUP-TFs heterodimerize with RXR to reduce the available concentration of RXR for heterodimerization with TR, VDR, RAR, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and thus indirectly interfere with these receptors to transactivate their target genes (21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27). Third, COUP-TFs can tether to DNA via LBD-LBD interactions with TR, RAR, and RXR to transrepress their activities (27). Finally, COUP-TFs have been shown to repress basal and activator-dependent transcriptional activities of various promoters when their binding site is placed upstream or downstream of these promoters (27). The silencing domain in COUP-TFs was localized to the C terminus of the putative LBD, which can be transferred to the heterologous Gal4 DNA-binding domain (DBD). Activators that can be repressed by COUP-TFs include acidic (Gal4-RII), glutamine-rich (Gal4-ftzQ), proline-rich (Gal4-CTF1P), and Ser/Thr-rich (Gal4-ZenST) transactivators (27). Because COUP-TF can repress such a diverse group of transactivators, it is unlikely that COUP-TFs repression is through direct quenching of these transactivators or by interfering with their respective targets. It is rather likely that COUP-TFs interact with a common target, a putative corepressor(s) that mediates their repression.
To substantiate this hypothesis, we address two major questions in this paper; 1) Does COUP-TFI-mediated repression require corepressors? and 2) If it does, does COUP-TFI share corepressors with other receptors, such as TR and RAR? To answer these questions, we first examined whether cofactors are involved in COUP-TFI-mediated repression using either self-squelching or TR/COUP-TF-mediated mutual squelching experiments. Next, we examined whether COUP-TFI can interact with N-CoR or SMRT. Finally, we examined whether N-CoR or SMRT can function as a corepressor in COUP-TFI-mediated repression. Results from these experiments indicate that both N-CoR and SMRT can function as corepressors for COUP-TFI-mediated repression of target genes.

35 (amino acid
184388), which does not contain a repressor domain, cannot reverse
Gal4-COUP-TFI-mediated repression. Overexpression of COUP-TFI or
COUP-TFI
35 does not affect the basal promoter activity of Gal4 (data
not shown). These results clearly indicate that a limiting factor,
termed corepressor(s), is required for the activity of
COUP-TFI-mediated repression. These results also suggest that the
C-terminal 35 amino acids are required for interaction with the
putative corepressor(s).

35. These results further suggest that common corepressors
are shared by COUP-TFI and TRß for their repression activity.

| DISCUSSION |

|
|
|---|
35 (which has
lost its repression domain), can squelch the repression activity of
Gal4-COUP-TFI. Previously, we showed that a 15-amino-acid deletion from
the C terminus (Gal4-COUP-TF
15) had little effect on Gal4-COUP-TF
activity, whereas a 25-amino-acid (Gal4-COUP-TF
25) or a
35-amino-acid (Gal4-COUP-TF
35) deletion largely impaired its active
repression function (27). Therefore, these data suggested that the
C-terminal border of the major active repression function of COUP-TF is
located within amino acids 408 and 398, and it is this region that may
interact with the corepressor(s). In addition, the repressor domain of
COUP-TFI may directly target the basal transcriptional machinery.
To examine whether a corepressor(s) can be shared between TRß and
COUP-TFI, squelching experiments were performed. As shown in Fig. 2
, unliganded but not liganded TRß can squelch the basal repression of
Gal4-COUP-TFI. The evidence that the TR mutant, TR168456
(V174A/D177A) (28), which does not interact with the putative
corepressors, cannot squelch the basal repression of Gal4-COUP-TFI
further supports the notion that common corepressors may be involved in
basal repression between TRß and COUP-TFI. Furthermore,
overexpression of COUP-TFI, but not COUP-TFI
35, can squelch the
basal repression activity of Gal4-TRß, also suggesting that common
corepressors can function for both COUP-TFI and TRß. Theoretically,
the target of transcriptional interference may be either a basal
transcription factor(s) or a corepressor(s). Transfection of COUP-TFI
or TRß did not change the basal transcription of a PRE-tk-luciferase
reporter lacking a proper response element (data not shown), suggesting
that squelchers are unlikely to interfere directly with the function of
any basal transcriptional machinery. Therefore, the target(s) of
interference between COUP-TF and TRß is likely to be one or more
transcriptional corepressor protein(s).
Because COUP-TFI can form homodimers by itself or form heterodimers
with TRß (27), it is possible that the squelchers can form
non-DNA-binding heterodimers with the repressors used in Figs. 1
, 2
, and 3
(Gal4-COUP-TFI/COUP-TFI for Fig. 1
, Gal4-COUP-TFI/TRß for Fig. 2
, and Gal4-TRß/COUP-TFI for Fig. 3
). If this is the case, inhibition
of repressor activity may be due to inhibition of DNA binding rather
than to squelching of a limiting corepressor(s). However, several lines
of evidence suggest that this is not the case. First, both COUP-TFI and
TRß have the ability to bind specifically to corepressors. Second, a
mutant form of TRß (TR168456 (V174A/D177A)), which loses its
ability to interact with corepressor but retains its intact
dimerization domain, is not able to inhibit the repression activity of
Gal4-COUP-TFI. Third, COUP-TF mutant (COUP-TFI
35), which loses its
ability in silencing, also loses its ability to squelch repressor
activity of TRß. Finally and most importantly, we have demonstrated
directly that both N-CoR and SMRT can mediate repressor activity of
COUP-TFI (Fig. 6
) and reverse the self-squelching activity (Fig. 7
).
Therefore, inhibition of repression activity by squelchers in Figs. 1
, 2
, and 3
indeed results from squelching of a limiting
corepressor(s).
Because squelching experiments showed that COUP-TFI may share a
corepressor(s) with TRß, we examined protein-protein interaction
between COUP-TFI and N-CoR or SMRT in a yeast two-hybrid assay and in
in vitro GST pull-down assays as shown in Figs. 4
and 5
. The
amino acid 921-2453 fragment of N-CoR interacts with COUP-TFI. This
result is consistent with what has been observed in TR interaction
studies (10, 33). Interaction between COUP-TFI and the amino acid
190-2453 fragment of N-CoR was not detected in a yeast two-hybrid
assay, but was detected in an in vitro GST pull-down assay.
This discrepancy is likely due to the potent repressor domain of the
N-terminal portion of N-CoR, which suppresses the Gal4 activation
function, resulting in interference with ß-galactosidase expression.
Consistent with this interpretation, Seol et al. (33) also
recently demonstrated that the repressor domain of N-CoR strongly
interferes with the mammalian two-hybrid assay to study the
protein-protein interaction between N-CoR and TR or RAR. On the other
hand, the amino acid 29564 and amino acid 565-1289, but not amino
acid 11921495, fragments of SMRT strongly interact with COUP-TF in
yeast and in vitro assays. Based on these data, we concluded
that there are at least two COUP-TFI-interacting domains within the
SMRT molecules. The lack of interaction between COUP-TFI and SMRT
(11921495) is surprising because this region interacts very strongly
with TRß. Thus, different repressors may interact differentially with
SMRT. Finally, the corepressor-interacting region in COUP-TFI is
localized in the extreme C terminus, which is quite different from the
region of TR and RAR where hinge and N-terminal portions of LBD are
involved in this interaction. Thus, repression function of COUP-TFs may
act in a different way from that of TR and RAR (Fig. 8
).

Recently, an activator for COUP-TFII has been identified using a yeast two-hybrid screen, designated ORCA (orphan receptor coactivator) (35), and this factor is identical to a recently described ligand (p62) of tyrosine kinase- signaling molecule p56lck, suggesting that ORCA may link COUP-TFII and cell surface signal transduction pathways. This integrating role may be similar to what is observed with cAMP response element-binding protein CBP and the related protein p300. CBP plays a role in integrating cAMP second messenger and nuclear hormone receptor signal transduction pathways. Of interest, ORCA/p62 shares a small region of homology with CBP, suggesting a potential similarity in their mechanism of action. However, based on their data, ORCA/p62 does not bind directly to COUP-TFII-binding sites and COUP-TFII/ORCA complex is not detected in gel retardation assays. Therefore, it is possible that ORCA/p62 may function directly or indirectly by phosphorylating COUP-TFII or ORCA/p62 may overcome the function of a specific COUP-TFII-associated corepressor. Because ORCA/p62 can convert COUP-TFII into a transcriptional activator in a ligand-independent manner in mammalian cells, it is possible that COUP-TFI can also be activated by a coactivator(s) in a ligand-independent manner. Our preliminary data showed that overexpression of hSRC-1a (36), which is a general coactivator for members of steroid receptors, cannot relieve the repressor activity of Gal4-COUP-TFI in HeLa cells (data not shown).
In conclusion, we demonstrated that corepressors are involved in the mechanisms of COUP-TFI-mediated gene silencing, and that both N-CoR and SMRT can function as corepressors for COUP-TFI in mammalian cells. Therefore, orphan receptors such as COUP-TFI and RevErb A can function as a repressor in vivo by utilizing corepressors that are common for members of the TR and RAR subfamily.

Cloning of SMRT by Yeast Two-Hybrid System
Yeast strains used are as follows. y190:
MATa, leu23, 112,

met-. BJ2168: MATa, prc1407, Prb11122,
pep43, leu2, trp1, ura 352. Yeast-selective media and plates
were prepared according to Guthrie and Fink (37). The yeast strain y190
containing pAS1cyh2-TR168456 was transformed with a human brain cDNA
library in pGAD10 (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) and plated on synthetic
complete medium lacking tryptophan, leucine, and histidine (containing
25 mM 3-aminotriazole) as described by Durfee et
al. (38). His+ colonies exhibiting ß-galactosidase
activity using the filter lift assay were further characterized.
ß-Galactosidase activity was determined using chlorophenol red
ß-D galactopyranoside as described (38). To recover the
library plasmids, total DNA from yeast was isolated and used to
transform Escherichia coli (HB101) which lacks
leu2 gene. Transformants were identified on minimal medium
lacking leucine and containing ampicillin. To ensure that the correct
cDNAs were identified, library plasmids isolated were retransformed
into y190 containing pAS1cyh2-TR168456, and ß-galactosidase
activity was determined. The specificity of the interaction of cor 10.1
(SMRT 11921495), one of the 12 positive clones, with TR was
determined by mating y190 containing pGAD10-cor 10.1 with the strain
y187 containing either pAS1-SNF, pAS1-cdk2, pAS1-p53, or pAS1-lamin.
The ß-galactosidase activity of these diploids was examined using the
filter lift and chlorophenyl red ß-D galactopyranoside
methods. The cor 10.1 clone was identical to recently identified
corepressor SMRT. The yeast two-hybrid system was also used to
determine protein-protein interaction between COUP-TFI and SMRT or
N-CoR.
Protein-Protein Interaction by GST-Pulldown Assay
GST-COUP-TFI (pCBGST1-COUP-TFI) fusion protein was expressed and
extracted in yeast strain BJ2168 as described previously (39).
GST-pulldown assay was performed as described with modifications (4, 39): 30 µl glutathione-Sepharose beads stored in NENT buffer (500
mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris, pH
8.0, 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 6 mM
MgCl2, and 8% glycerol) were incubated with yeast extracts
containing GST-fusion proteins in a 1:1 vol ratio together with NENT
buffer for 3060 min at 4 C. Preparation of yeast extracts containing
GST-fusion protein was described previously (39). Subsequently, the
supernatant was removed and the beads were washed twice with 1 ml NENT
buffer and twice with 1 ml transcription washing buffer (60
mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris, pH
8.0, 0.05% NP-40, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 6 mM
MgCl2, and 8% glycerol). In vitro-translated and
-radiolabeled proteins were obtained using TNT Coupled Reticulocyte
Lysate Systems (Promega). Five to 10 µl crude lysate were incubated
with the beads in 200 µl transcription washing buffer for 2 h at
4 C. Finally, the beads were washed five times with 1 ml NENT buffer
and proteins were solubilized in SDS loading buffer and analyzed on
SDS-PAGE. The input lane contains 10% of the labeled protein used for
binding.
