Show abstract
Proteins on the cell membrane cluster to respond to extracellular signals; for example, adhesion proteins cluster to enhance extracellular matrix sensing; or T-cell receptors cluster to enhance antigen sensing. Importantly, the maturation of such receptor clusters requires transcriptional control to adapt and reinforce the extracellular signal sensing. However, it has been unclear how such efficient clustering mechanisms are encoded at the level of the genes that code for these receptor proteins. Using the adhesome as an example, we show that genes that code for adhesome receptor proteins are spatially co-localized and co-regulated within the cell nucleus. Towards this, we use Hi-C maps combined with RNA-seq data of adherent cells to map the correspondence between adhesome receptor proteins and their associated genes. Interestingly, we find that the transcription factors that regulate these genes are also co-localized with the adhesome gene loci, thereby potentially facilitating a transcriptional reinforcement of the extracellular matrix sensing machinery. Collectively, our results highlight an important layer of transcriptional control of cellular signal sensing.
