| Abstract | Background Overexpression of the Cut homeobox 1 gene, CUX1, inverselycorrelates with patient survival in breast cancers. Cell-based assays andmolecular studies have revealed that transcriptional regulation byCUX1 involves mostly the proteolytically processed p110isoform. As there is no antibody specific to p110 CUX1 only, an alternatestrategy must be employed to identify its targets. Results We expressed physiological levels of a tagged-p110 CUX1 protein and performedchromatin affinity purification followed by hybridization on ENCODE andpromoter arrays. Targets were validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation andtranscriptional regulation by CUX1 was analyzed in expression profiling andRT-qPCR assays following CUX1 knockdown or p110 CUX1 overexpression.Approximately 47% and 14% of CUX1 binding sites were respectively mappedless than 4 Kbp, or more than 40 Kbp, away from a transcription start site.More genes exhibited changes in expression following CUX1 knockdown thanp110 CUX1 overexpression. CUX1 directly activated or repressed 7.4% and 8.4%of putative targets identified on the ENCODE and promoter arraysrespectively. This proportion increased to 11.2% for targets with 2 bindingsites or more. Transcriptional repression was observed in a slightly higherproportion of target genes. The CUX1 consensus binding motif, ATCRAT, wasfound at 47.2% of the CUX1 binding sites, yet only 8.3% of the CUX1consensus motifs present on the array were bound in vivo. Thepresence of a consensus binding motif did not have an impact on whether atarget gene was repressed or activated. Interestingly, the distance betweena binding site and a transcription start site did not significantly reducedthe ability of CUX1 to regulate a target gene. Moreover, CUX1 not only wasable to regulate the next adjacent gene, but also regulated the gene locatedbeyond this one as well as the gene located further away in the oppositedirection. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that p110 CUX1 can activate or repress transcriptionwhen bound at a distance and can regulate more than one gene on certaingenomic loci. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
