摘要

The transcriptional coactivators p300 and pCAF are necessary for the myogenic factor MyoD to initiate the expression of skeletal muscle genes. In addition to mediating histone acetylation, both of these factors can acetylate MyoD; however, the complexity of cellular systems used to study MyoD has impeded delineation of the specific roles of these two acetyltransferases. Therefore, we established a MyoD-dependent in vitro transcription system that permits us to determine the roles of p300 and pCAF during MyoD-dependent transcriptional activation. Consistent with results from cellular systems, we demonstrate that maximal levels of transactivation in vitro require both p300 and pCAF, as well as the cofactor acetyl CoA. Dissection of the steps leading to transcription initiation revealed that the activities of p300 and pCAF are not redundant. During the initial stages of transactivation, p300 acetylates histone H3 and H4 within the promoter region and then recruits pCAF to MyoD. Once tethered to the promoter, pCAF acetylates MyoD to facilitate the transactivation process. Thus, we have established that pCAF and p300 carry out sequential and functionally distinct events on a promoter leading to transcriptional activation. Further dissection of this in vitro transcription system should be highly useful toward elucidating the mechanism by which coactivators facilitate differential gene expression by MyoD.
