Abstract

Abstract

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is a DNA-binding transcription factor. Characterizing its genomic binding sites is crucial for understanding its gene regulatory function and mechanism in cells. This study characterized the binding sites of NF-κB RelA/p65 in the tumor neurosis factor-α (TNFα) stimulated HeLa cells by a precise chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq). The results revealed that NF-κB binds nontraditional motifs (nt-motifs) containing conserved GGAA quadruplet. Moreover, nt-motifs mainly distribute in the peaks nearby centromeres that contain a larger number of repetitive elements such as satellite, simple repeats and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). This intracellular binding pattern was then confirmed by thein vitro detection, indicating that NF-κB dimers can bind the nontraditional κB (nt-κB) sites with low affinity. However, this binding hardly activates transcription. This study thus deduced that NF-κB binding nt-motifs may realize functions other than gene regulation as NF-κB binding traditional motifs (t-motifs). To testify the deduction, many ChIP-seq data of other cell lines were then analyzed. The results indicate that NF-κB binding nt-motifs is also widely present in other cells. The ChIP-seq data analysis also revealed that nt-motifs more widely distribute in the peaks with low-fold enrichment. Importantly, it was also found that NF-κB binding nt-motifs is mainly present in the resting cells, whereas NF-κB binding t-motifs is mainly present in the stimulated cells. Astonishingly, no known function was enriched by the gene annotation of nt-motif peaks. Based on these results, this study proposed that the nt-κB sites that extensively distribute in larger numbers of repeat elements function as a nuclear reservoir of NF-κB. The nuclear NF-κB proteins stored at nt-κB sites in the resting cells may be recruited to the t-κB sites for regulating its target genes upon stimulation.
