Figure Lengend Snippet: aTAG-2 replaces p300 with CBP at EWS/FLI bound sites and degrades FKBP F36V -EWS/FLI in a E1/proteasome-dependent manner. A) FKBP F36V -HA-EWS/FLI EWS502 cells treated with DMSO, aTAG-2, or binders (mAP1867-CONHEt + GNE-781) at 10 nM for 16 hours were profiled by CBP, p300, and HA ChIP-seq. P300 and CBP occupancy heatmaps at Riggi et al. EWS/FLI bound sites are shown. B) Overlap between unique genes with consensus CBP ChIP-seq peaks gained by aTAG-2 (gained both vs. DMSO and vs. binders), and consensus p300 ChIP-seq peaks lost by aTAG-2. P -value calculated by hypergeometric test. C-D) Enrichr gene ontology analysis (C) and Homer motif analysis (D) of dual CBP-gained and p300-lost peaks/unique genes. E) Western blot for HA-tagged EWS/FLI in FKBP F36V -HA-EWS/FLI EWS502 cells treated with aTAG-2 at 10 nM for 3 hours in the presence of inhibitors (1 μM, except MG-132 at 10 μM; TAK-243: UBA1 inhibitor, TAK-981: SUMOylation inhibitor, MG-132: proteasome inhibitor, lanes are from the same blot & exposure). F) Western blot for HA-tagged EWS/FLI in FKBP F36V -HA-EWS/FLI EWS502 cells treated with aTAG-2 at 10 nM for 1 hour following TUBE2 (ubiquitin) pulldown, in the presence of MG-132 (10 μM). Total ubiquitin loading control is shown in . G) Model for aTAG-2 mechanism of action, where it can induce transactivation, partial target degradation, and inhibit p300/CBP through a RIPTAC-like mechanism depending on context.
Article Snippet: Dynabeads Protein A (50 μL) were washed 3 times with TBS-T then pre-incubated with 10 μg of antibody (anti-HA tag antibody - ChIP Grade (ab9110), P300 (Bethyl, A300-358A), CBP (Bethyl, A300-362A)) at 4C for 3 hours in TBS-T (500 μL).
