摘要

Latent infection of B lymphocytes by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in vitro results in their immortalization into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs); this latency program is controlled by the EBNA2 viral transcriptional activator that targets promoters via RBPJ, a DNA binding protein in the Notch signaling pathway. Three other EBNA3 proteins (EBNA3A, EBNA3B, and EBNA3C) interact with RBPJ to regulate cell gene expression. The mechanism by which EBNAs regulate different genes via RBPJ remains unclear. Our ChIP-seq analysis of the EBNA3 proteins analyzed in concert with prior EBNA2 and RBPJ data demonstrate that EBNA3A, EBNA3B and EBNA3C bind to distinct, partially overlapping genomic locations. Although RBPJ interaction is critical for EBNA3A and EBNA3C growth effects, only 30-40% of EBNA3 bound sites co-localize with RBPJ. Using LCLs conditional for EBNA3A or EBNA3C activity, we demonstrate that EBNA2 binding at sites near genes regulated by EBNA3A or EBNA3C is specifically regulated by the respective EBNA3. To investigate EBNA3 binding specificity, we identified sequences and transcription factors enriched at EBNA3A, EBNA3B, and EBNA3C bound sites. This confirmed the prior observation that IRF4 is enriched at EBNA3A and EBNA3C bound sites and revealed IRF4 enrichment at EBNA3B bound sites. Using the IRF4 negative BJAB cell, we demonstrate that IRF4 is essential for EBNA3C, but not EBNA3A or EBNA3B binding to specific sites. These results support a model in which EBNA2 and EBNA3s compete for distinct subsets of RBPJ sites to regulate cell genes and where EBNA3 subset specificity is determined by interactions with other cell transcription factors. Finally, we examined changes in the H3K27me3 mark that is believed to mediate EBNA3 repression of cell genes. Surprisingly, we observed no correlation between changes in this mark with EBNA3A or EBNA3C binding upon EBNA3A or EBNA3C inactivation. Furthermore, EBNA3 bound sites were characterized by activating (H3K4me3 and H3K9ac) histone marks. This suggests that EBNA3 proteins may exert their transcriptional effects through indirect mechanisms. We performed H3K27me3 ChIP-seq analysis in the presence and absence of EBNA3C activity to determine the exact locations that undergo this mark change in response to EBNA3C activity. Our study represents the first genome-wide characterization of EBNA3A, EBNA3B and EBNA3C binding in LCLs; as well as the first genome-wide characterization of H3K27me3 pattern in response to EBNA3C activity. Moreover, our results suggest a mechanism by which EBNA3 proteins regulate distinct, but partially overlapping, sets of cell genes and provide a basis for understanding their role in lymphomagenesis.
