Popis: Objectives Myogenic differentiation 1 (Myod1) is involved in the expression of taste receptor type 1 member 1 (Tas1r1) during myogenic differentiation. Further, the target genes of Myod1 participate in transcriptional control, muscle development, and synaptic function. We examined, for the first time, the function of Myod1 in the transcriptional regulation of Tas1r1. Methods ENCODE chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) data of myogenically differentiated C2C12 cells were analyzed to identify the Myod1 and transcription factor 12 (Tcf12) binding sites in the Tas1r1 promoter region. Luciferase reporter assays, DNA affinity precipitation assays, and co-immunoprecipitation assays were also performed to identify the functions of Myod1, Tcf12, and Kruppel-like factor 5 (Klf5). Results Based on ENCODE ChIP-seq, Myod1 bound to the Tas1r1 promoter region containing E-boxes 1–3. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that site-directed E-box1 mutations significantly reduced promoter activation induced by Myod1 overexpression. According to the DNA affinity precipitation assay and co-immunoprecipitation assay, Myod1 formed a heterodimer with Tcf12 and bound to E-box1. Further, Klf5 bound to the GT box near E-box1, activating Tas1r1 expression. Conclusions During myogenic differentiation, the Myod1/Tcf12 heterodimer, in collaboration with Klf5, binds to E-box1 and activates Tas1r1 expression.
