Despite the importance of this transcription factor family, very little is known regarding how T-box factors regulate gene expression. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome contains 21 T-box genes, and their characterized functions include cell fate specification in a variety of tissues. The C. elegans Tbx1 sub-family member MLS-1 functions during larval development to specify the fate of non-striated uterine muscles; and, in mls-1 mutants, uterine muscles are transformed to a vulval muscle fate. Here we demonstrate that MLS-1 function depends on binding to the Groucho-family co-repressor UNC-37. MLS-1 interacts with UNC-37 via a conserved eh1 motif, and the MLS-1 eh1 motif is necessary for MLS-1 to specify uterine muscle fate. Moreover, unc-37 loss-of-function produces uterine muscle to vulval muscle fate transformation similar to those observed in mls-1 mutants. Based on these results, we conclude that MLS-1 specifies uterine muscle fate by repressing target gene expression, and this function depends on interaction with UNC-37. Moreover, we suggest that MLS-1 shares a common mechanism for transcriptional repression with related T-box factors in other animal phyla.Introduction:T-box transcription factors play essential roles in the development of all multicellular organisms, where their functions include the specification of primary germ layers and the specification of cell fates during organogenesis[1],[2]. In humans, both decreased and increased activity of these factors are associated with congenital disease( Holt-Oram syndrome, Ulnar-Mammary syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, etc)[3], auto immune disorders[4], and cancers[5],[6]. Despite this importance the mechanisms by which T-box factors regulate target gene expression are not well established. Groucho family( Gro/TLE) proteins are conserved transcriptional co-repressors that interact with distinct Engrailed homology 1( eh1) or WRPW/Y motifs in a wide variety of transcription factors and, in many cases, recruit histone deacetylases to target gene promoters[reviewed in[7]]. Gro/TLE factors have recently been implicated in the regulatory mechanism of several T-box factors. Xenopus Tbx6 and Tbx1, and zebrafish Tbx24 and Ntl/Brachyury interact indirectly with Gro/TLE factors through Ripply/Bowline family proteins, and this interaction can convert these proteins from transcriptional activators to repressors[8]–[10]. Two closely related members of the mouse Tbx1 subfamily Tbx15 and Tbx18 interact directly with the Gro/TLE protein TLE3 via eh1 motifs to repress reporter gene expression in mammalian cells[11]. Additional T-box factors likely function with Gro/TLE proteins, as T-box factors in several species contain eh1 motifs, including the Caenorhabditis elegans T-box factors MLS-1 and MAB-9[12]. While this accumulating evidence suggests a variety of T-box factors interact with Gro/TLE factors, the significance of these interactions has not been examined in vivo. In this report we investigate the interaction between MLS-1 and the C. elegans Gro/TLE protein UNC-37. MLS-1 is a member of the Tbx1 subfamily that includes mouse Gro/TLE-interacting proteins Tbx15 and Tbx18[1],[13]. MLS-1 functions to specify uterine muscle fate in the mesodermal( M) lineage during hermaphrodite larval development[14]. In wild-type hermaphrodites, the M mesoblast produces all post-embryonic mesoderm cells, including two sex myoblasts( SMs) that divide during the late L3 and L4 stages to produce eight uterine muscles( four um1 and four um2 uterine muscles) and eight vulval muscles( four vm1 and four vm2 vulval muscles)[15]. mls-1 loss-of-function results in a transformation of uterine muscle precursors to a vulval muscle fate resulting in the loss of all um1 and um2 muscles and the formation of excess vm1 and vm2 muscles. In comparison, ectopic expression of mls-1 throughout the M lineage results in supernumerary uterine muscles[14]. Here we demonstrate that MLS-1 interacts with UNC-37 in both yeast two-hybrid and in C. elegans bimolecular fluorescence complementation( BiFC) assays. This interaction is mediated by an eh1 motif near the MLS-1 N-terminus, and mutation of this eh1 motif eliminates the ability of MLS-1 to specify uterine muscles. Furthermore, unc-37 loss-of-function results in a loss of uterine muscles and a corresponding gain of vulval muscles similar to mls-1 loss-of-function. Taken together, these results indicate MLS-1 functions as an UNC-37 dependent transcriptional repressor to specify uterine muscle fate, and they provide the first in vivo evidence that interaction with Gro/TLE factors is essential for T-box factor function.Discussion:MLS-1 is a selector gene that is necessary and sufficient to specify uterine muscle development in the M lineage[14]. Here we show that MLS-1 interacts with the UNC-37/Groucho co-repressor, and that MLS-1 function in C. elegans depends on this interaction. These results indicate that MLS-1 specifies uterine muscle fate at least in part by repressing target gene transcription. What types of genes does MLS-1 regulate? We suggest that MLS-1 represses expression of regulatory genes that themselves encode inhibitors of uterine muscle development and activators of vulval muscle development. This model is consistent with previous observations that mls-1 loss-of-function results in a transformation of uterine muscle to vulval muscle, whereas ectopic mls-1 expression results in production of ectopic uterine muscles[14]. Analogous negative regulatory pathways have been suggested for specification of body wall muscle and coelomocyte cell fates elsewhere in the M lineage[27],[28]. The MLS-1 targets must be expressed in the M lineage outside of the descendants of the SMs, because widespread expression of mls-1 in the M lineage can convert many M lineage cells to a uterine muscle fate[14]. We do not yet know of any direct targets of MLS-1. The egl-15 promoter is active in the supernumerary vulval muscles in mls-1 mutants, and we asked if it might be directly repressed by MLS-1. However mutation of predicted T-box binding sites in this promoter did not lead to expanded expression egl-15::gfp reporter( R. Miller and P. Okkema, unpublished), suggesting MLS-1 regulation of the egl-15 promoter is indirect. MLS-1 may also function with UNC-37/Groucho in other MLS-1 expressing cells. When expressed with its own promoter, MLS-1 interacts with UNC-37 in BiFC assays in the vm2 vulval muscles and one to two intestinal/enteric muscles. The function of mls-1 in these cell types is unknown[14], so we cannot determine if interaction with UNC-37 is necessary for MLS-1, but we suggest that MLS-1 may similarly function as a Groucho dependent repressor in these cells. In addition to MLS-1, UNC-37/Groucho likely interacts with other factors that are involved in vulval development or that are expressed in the M-lineage. unc-37( RNAi) and some mutant alleles produce a protruding vulva( Pvl) phenotype that is not observed in mls-1 mutants[29]. Likewise, we also found egl-15::gfp expressing cells that looked like body wall muscles in unc-37( e262) and more frequently in unc-37( wd17wd21) mutants, while we never observed this phenotype in mls-1 mutants. At least two other transcription factors expressed in the M lineage contain high scoring eh1 motifs( CEH-24 and MLS-2 see[12]), and we suggest that these and other factors expressed in the M lineage function as Groucho-dependent repressors. Our results suggest that mutation of the MLS-1 eh1 motif creates a gain-of-function protein that is deleterious. It was much more difficult to generate transgenic lines expressing mls-1FSI→ASA than lines expressing wild-type mls-1 using either the mls-1 promoter or a heat-inducible promoter, and we were only able to generate transgenic lines expressing mls-1FSI→ASA with arrays containing a low concentration of the expression vector. MLS-1FSI→ASA contains an intact T-box, and, because many T-box factors bind similar sequences, MLS-1FSI→ASA could recognize binding sites for wild-type MLS-1 or for other T-box factors. It is unlikely that mls-1FSI→ASA is simply a dominant negative mutation that interferes with wild-type mls-1 function, because mls-1 null mutants are viable and healthy[14]. Instead, we suggest that MLS-1FSI→ASA interferes with function of other T-box factors that are required for viability. Alternatively, mutation of the eh1 motif may allow MLS-1 to function as a transcriptional activator and inappropriately activate T-box target genes. Groucho has been shown to convert a variety of transcriptional activators to repressors, including several T-box factors[7]–[10]. MLS-1 is a member of the Tbx1 sub-family, which includes the mammalian proteins Tbx1, Tbx15, Tbx18, Tbx20, and Tbx22. Like MLS-1, each of these proteins has been shown to repress transcription, and there is evidence that these proteins interact either directly or indirectly with Gro/TLE proteins[8]–[12]. Thus this T-box sub-family shares a common mechanism for transcriptional repression in different animal phyla. Among the mammalian T-box genes, MLS-1 is most closely related to Tbx15, Tbx18 and Tbx22. These genes have diverse functions in mesoderm development, but recently described functions for Tbx18 in smooth muscle development may be most closely related to the function of MLS-1. Tbx18 is expressed in the developing urogenital ridge where it is necessary for development of the ureter smooth muscle[30],[31]. Likewise Tbx18 is also expressed in endocardial cells that contribute to the coronary smooth muscles, although its function in this tissue has not yet been characterized[32]. The C. elegans muscle types expressing MLS-1 share both structural and functional similarities with mammalian smooth muscles. C. elegans uterine muscles are non-striated with loosely organized myofilaments arranged circumferentially around the uterus, and contractions of these muscles help move embryos through the uterus toward the vulva[14],[15]. Ultrastructurally, the uterine muscles contain thin filaments attached to the uterine basal lamina at randomly arranged points, which is similar to the organization found in smooth muscles[33]. Together, these observations suggest the interesting possibility that Tbx18 and MLS-1 share conserved function in smooth muscle development.
