Abstract:"In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related yeast species, the TEA transcription factor Tec1, together with a second transcription factor, Ste12, controls development, including cell adhesion and filament formation. Tec1-Ste12 complexes control target genes through Tec1 binding sites (TEA consensus sequences [TCSs]) that can be further combined with Ste12 binding sites (pheromone response elements [PREs]) for cooperative DNA binding. The activity of Tec1-Ste12 complexes is known to be under negative control of the Dig1 and Dig2 (Dig1/2) transcriptional corepressors that confer regulation by upstream signaling pathways. Here, we found that Tec1 and Ste12 can associate with the transcriptional coregulators Msa1 and Msa2 (Msa1/2), which were previously found to associate with the cell cycle transcription factor complexes SBF (Swi4/Swi6 cell cycle box binding factor) and MBF (Mbp1/Swi6 cell cycle box binding factor) to control G1-specific transcription. We further show that Tec1-Ste12-Msa1/2 complexes (i) do not contain Swi4 or Mbp1, (ii) assemble at single TCSs or combined TCS-PREs in vitro, and (iii) coregulate genes involved in adhesive and filamentous growth by direct promoter binding in vivo. Finally, we found that, in contrast to Dig proteins, Msa1/2 seem to act as coactivators that enhance the transcriptional activity of Tec1-Ste12. Taken together, our findings add an additional layer of complexity to our understanding of the control mechanisms exerted by the evolutionarily conserved TEA domain and Ste12-like transcription factors"
