Abstract Transcriptional condensates play a crucial role in gene expression and regulation, yet their assembly mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we report multi-layered mechanism for condensate by autoimmune regulator (Aire), an essential transcriptional that orchestrates reprogramming central T cell tolerance. Aire assemble on enhancers, stimulating local activities connecting disparate inter-chromosomal loci. This functional formation hinges upon the coordination between three domains: polymerization domain caspase activation recruitment (CARD), histone-binding (first plant homeodomain (PHD1)), C-terminal tail (CTT). Specifically, CTT binds coactivators CBP/p300, recruiting to CBP/p300-rich enhancers promoting CARD-mediated assembly. Conversely, PHD1 ubiquitous histone mark H3K4me0, keeping dispersed throughout genome until nucleates enhancers. Our findings showed balance PHD1-mediated suppression CTT-mediated stimulation of is form transcriptionally active at target sites, providing new insights into controlled regulators.

Abstract The Autoimmune Regulator, AIRE, acts as a transcriptional regulator in the thymus, facilitating ectopic expression of thousands genes important for process negative T-cell selection and immunological tolerance to self. Pathogenic variants gene encoding AIRE are causing polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), defined by multiorgan autoimmunity chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. More recently, Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have also implicated several common organ-specific autoimmune diseases including primary adrenal insufficiency, diabetes pernicious anemia. We developed highly sensitive cell-system approach based on HEK293FT cells transfected with that allowed us characterise functionally evaluate potential genetic gene. confirm our cell system recapitulates vast majority known induced well-characterised tissue restricted antigens (TRAs), but increases total number identified an order magnitude compared previously published strategies. differentiates between categories level, nonsense variant p.R257* (near complete loss function), p.C311Y associated dominantly inherited APS-1 (severely impaired polygenic risk p.R471C (slightly increased function) linked autoimmunity. activity wildtype indicates different molecular mechanisms monogenic related
