    Abstract Hearing involves a stereotyped neural network communicating cochlea and brain. How this sensorineural circuit assembles is largely unknown. The cochlea houses two types of mechanosensory hair cells differing in function (sound transmission versus amplification) and location (inner versus outer compartments). Inner (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs) are each innervated by a distinct pair of afferent and efferent neurons: IHCs are contacted by type I afferents receiving axodendritic efferent contacts; OHCs are contacted by type II afferents and axosomatically terminating efferents.

    Abstract Developmental programs are driven by transcription factors that coordinate precise patterns of gene expression. While recent publications have described the importance of coordinated action of transcriptional activators at multiple cis-regulatory modules or enhancers, the contribution of sequence-specific repressors to overall regulation and robustness of gene expression has been difficult to ascertain. The Ets transcriptional repressor Yan functions as part of a conserved network downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling in Drosophila. This network displays switch-like responsiveness to RTK signaling, with the transition from a high-Yan to a low-Yan state induced by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated phosphorylation and inactivation of Yan. The ability of Yan to self-associate through a conserved sterile α motif (SAM) is essential for Yan's repressive ability, and has been suggested to allow spreading of Yan repressive complexes along chromatin. Such a mechanism has the potential to confer both signal responsiveness and robustness to the Yan network. To explore this spreading model, we compared the genome-wide chromatin binding profiles of wild-type vs. monomeric Yan. Consistent with the starting prediction, we found that wild type chromatin occupancy at genes encoding crucial developmental regulators and core signaling pathway components occurs as clusters of peaks that "spread" over multiple kilobases. However monomeric Yan, which fails to rescue a yan null mutation and displays significantly impaired repressive ability, exhibits a broadly similar occupancy profile to that of wild-type Yan, with multi-kilobase binding at developmentally important genes. This unexpected result suggests that SAM-mediated self-association does not mediate Yan recruitment to DNA or chromatin spreading, and raises the questions of why developmentally important genes require extensive Yan chromatin occupancy and how SAM-mediated polymerization might contribute to active repressive mechanisms in this context. In this Extra View article we discuss potential mechanisms by which Yan self-association and extended chromatin occupancy may contribute to robust regulation of gene expression.

    Abstract During development, transcriptional complexes at enhancers regulate gene expression in complex spatiotemporal patterns. To achieve robust expression without spurious activation, the affinity and specificity of transcription factor–DNA interactions must be precisely balanced. Protein–protein interactions among transcription factors are also critical, yet how their affinities impact enhancer output is not understood. The Drosophila transcription factor Yan provides a well-suited model to address this, as its function depends on the coordinated activities of two independent and essential domains: the DNA-binding ETS domain and the self-associating SAM domain. To explore how protein–protein affinity influences Yan function, we engineered mutants that increase SAM affinity over four orders of magnitude. This produced a dramatic subcellular redistribution of Yan into punctate structures, reduced repressive output and compromised survival. Cell-type specification and genetic interaction defects suggest distinct requirements for polymerization in different regulatory decisions. We conclude that tuned protein–protein interactions enable the dynamic spectrum of complexes that are required for proper regulation.
