Genome occupancy of Myc-Max is thought to be driven by Enhancer box (E-box) DNA elements, CACGTG or variants, to which the heterodimer binds <italic>in vitro</italic>.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>By analyzing ChIP-Seq datasets, we demonstrate that the positions occupied by Myc-Max across the human genome correlate with the RNA polymerase II, Pol II, transcription machinery significantly better than with E-boxes. Metagene analyses show that in promoter regions, Myc is uniformly positioned about 100 bp upstream of essentially all promoter proximal paused polymerases with Max about 15 bp upstream of Myc. We re-evaluate the DNA binding properties of full length Myc-Max proteins. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay results demonstrate Myc-Max heterodimers display significant sequence preference, but have high affinity for any DNA. Quantification of the relative affinities of Myc-Max for all possible 8-mers using universal protein-binding microarray assays shows that sequences surrounding core 6-mers significantly affect binding. Compared to the <italic>in vitro</italic> sequence preferences, Myc-Max genomic occupancy measured by ChIP-Seq is largely, although not completely, independent of sequence specificity.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>We quantified the affinity of Myc-Max to all possible 8-mers and compared this with the sites of Myc binding across the human genome. Our results indicate that the genomic occupancy of Myc cannot be explained by its intrinsic DNA specificity and suggest that the transcription machinery and associated promoter accessibility play a predominant role in Myc recruitment.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13059-014-0482-3) contains supplementary

Genome occupancy of Myc-Max is thought to be driven by Enhancer box (E-box) DNA elements, CACGTG or variants, to which the heterodimer binds <italic>in vitro</italic>.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>By analyzing ChIP-Seq datasets, we demonstrate that the positions occupied by Myc-Max across the human genome correlate with the RNA polymerase II, Pol II, transcription machinery significantly better than with E-boxes. Metagene analyses show that in promoter regions, Myc is uniformly positioned about 100 bp upstream of essentially all promoter proximal paused polymerases with Max about 15 bp upstream of Myc. We re-evaluate the DNA binding properties of full length Myc-Max proteins. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay results demonstrate Myc-Max heterodimers display significant sequence preference, but have high affinity for any DNA. Quantification of the relative affinities of Myc-Max for all possible 8-mers using universal protein-binding microarray assays shows that sequences surrounding core 6-mers significantly affect binding. Compared to the <italic>in vitro</italic> sequence preferences, Myc-Max genomic occupancy measured by ChIP-Seq is largely, although not completely, independent of sequence specificity.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>We quantified the affinity of Myc-Max to all possible 8-mers and compared this with the sites of Myc binding across the human genome. Our results indicate that the genomic occupancy of Myc cannot be explained by its intrinsic DNA specificity and suggest that the transcription machinery and associated promoter accessibility play a predominant role in Myc recruitment.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13059-014-0482-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2014</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1" sec-type="introduction"><title>Background</title><p>c-Myc was initially identified as a proto-oncoprotein and subsequently demonstrated to be a global regulator of transcription [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. <italic>In vitro</italic>, the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZip) domain of Myc binds preferentially, albeit very weakly, to double stranded DNA containing the palindrome CACGTG and this is considered the canonical E-box [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. Myc pairs with Max and the heterodimer binds to CACGTG with higher affinity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. A crystal structure of the bHLHZip domains of Myc-Max bound to DNA revealed that the two proteins interact through each protein’s bHLHZip domain and each make specific contacts with four bases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. These initial observations and a large number of studies on the effects of Myc on specific genes led to what is now the prevailing model that Myc, in conjunction with Max, binds to E-box sequences and subsequently regulates transcription by Pol II [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. However, this model does not explain how specificity for Myc is achieved as there are a number of other bHLHZip protein family members that can bind to the same sequence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>].</p><p>Many studies attempting to identify Myc target genes found that the sets of genes regulated by Myc displayed great variation depending on the cell types and conditions used [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. A significant advancement in understanding Myc function was achieved by two comprehensive studies from the Young and Levens labs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. Both used inducible systems to show that Myc, when switched on, utilized existing expression programs and globally amplified transcription leading to an increase in the majority of expressed mRNAs. One study concluded that induction of Myc in P493 cells led to increased binding by Myc-Max heterodimers at the E-box containing core promoter sequences of actively transcribed genes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. The other study using primary B cells treated with lipopolysaccharide to induce Myc expression found a only a ‘loose association’ of Myc with E-boxes due to the high frequency of random occurrence of degenerate E-box sequences [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>].</p><p>Regulation of gene expression is controlled predominantly through the action of DNA-binding transcription factors that affect both initiation and elongation. A prominent feature of metazoan genomes is the promoter proximal paused Pol II that is found engaged in transcription about 30 to 80 bp downstream of the transcription start site (TSS) on most expressed genes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. The transition of these paused polymerases into productive elongation requires the kinase activity of the Positive Transcription Elongation Factor b, P-TEFb [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. <italic>MYC</italic> was the first gene shown to be regulated by elongation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] and Myc itself associates with P-TEFb [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>] and causes an increase in productive elongation on targeted genes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>].</p><p>The mechanism of Myc regulation of transcription has been assumed to involve Myc-Max heterodimers binding to E-boxes near TSSs and then influencing the function of the transcription machinery. The discovery that Myc globally regulates essentially all expressed genes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>] hints that Myc recruitment may be more general. An earlier study showed that Myc occupancy primarily correlated with chromosomal loci with an ‘open conformation’ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. These regions are often occupied by the transcription machinery [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. To test the basic assumption that Myc-Max heterodimers predominately occupy high affinity DNA elements in cells, we performed detailed analyses of available human ChIP-Seq datasets for Myc, Max, and Pol II and determined the relationship between sites of occupancy of Myc and Max and locations of high affinity DNA elements. Surprisingly, the global occupancy of Myc and Max strongly correlated with Pol II transcription machinery rather than with sequences that the heterodimer prefers <italic>in vitro</italic>.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Genome occupancy of Myc and Max correlates with Pol II</title><p>Using the UCSC Genome Browser [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>] and ChIP-Seq datasets generated from HeLa cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>] with antibodies stringently validated by the ENCODE project [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>], occupancies of Myc and Max visually correlate with Pol II better than with the E-box element CACGTG. For example, a broad view of 10 genes across a 200 kb region shows almost identical patterns for Myc and Max and a high level of visual correlation with promoter proximal paused polymerases on each of the genes (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>A). Many genes exhibit divergent transcription as indicated by GRO-Seq [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>] that can result in paused Pol II in both orientations. A closer view of one such gene demonstrates that Myc and Max reside in a position between the two peaks of Pol II (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>B). It is important to remember that the position of the immunoprecipitated factor is not indicated by the envelope of mapped DNA fragments, but rather by the peak of that envelope. Visual analysis of highly expressed genes, exemplified by <italic>MYC</italic>, provides further evidence that Myc and Max occupancy is tied to Pol II, including polymerases within the transcribed regions and downstream of the Poly(A) addition site (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>C). For the three regions shown there is almost no correlation of Myc or Max with the canonical CACGTG E-box (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). In comparison, distributions of CTCF [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>] and a number of other DNA-binding transcription factors (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S1) are distinct from Myc, Max, and Pol II.

The average occupancy around the TSS of 20,886 genes in HeLa cells was calculated and plotted. Promoter proximal paused Pol II peaked on average 83 bp downstream of the TSS. Myc and Max on average peaked upstream of the TSS at -20 and -35, respectively (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>A). Myc and Max also exhibited a slope transition at around +300 which has been previously noted for Pol II, the Med1 subunit of Mediator, and other transcription factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>]. High resolution heatmaps were generated to assess the uniformity of these distributions in the 4 kb region centered on the TSSs across the same gene set (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>B). Genes were ranked by the amount of Pol II in all four heatmaps. The patterns for Myc and Max occupancy are essentially identical and they closely match the occupancy pattern for Pol II, but not CTCF. These results indicate that Myc and Max are found about 100 bp upstream of the promoter proximal paused Pol II on most of the genes occupied by Pol II. In addition, Myc and Max were also positioned very closely with Pol II in enhancer regions (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S1C).<fig id="Fig2"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p><bold>Correlation of Myc and Max with Pol II occupancy.

A value of 0 means there is no overlap of the signals at any position and 1 indicates the datasets are identical. Myc and Max most closely correlate with each other, as expected. Importantly, the second highest genome-wide correlation for both Myc and Max was Pol II. The correlation of Myc with Pol II would not be expected to be as high as its correlation with Max because of the approximately 100 bp offset of Myc (and Max) from the peaks of promoter proximal paused Pol II. As expected, CTCF was the least well correlated with all datasets because it is bound by its CTC-containing motif mainly in intragenic regions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. The correlation analysis was extended to include Fos, Jun, and E2F1 and none of these factors correlated as well with Pol II as Myc and Max (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S2).</p><p>We extended our analyses to eight human cell lines with Myc, Max, and Pol II ChIP-Seq datasets. All eight datasets were combined into a multi-genome metagene analysis and the results clearly indicated that on average, as was found in HeLa cells, Myc and Max were about 100 bp upstream of the promoter proximal paused Pol II and Myc is shifted downstream from Max (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>D). Datasets for the Med1 subunit of Mediator were available for four of these cell lines and the multi-genome analysis displayed a similar distribution for Myc and Med1 including a downstream bulge over the promoter proximal paused Pol II (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>E). These analyses strongly suggest that the Myc might be recruited to these genomic loci by the transcription machinery, with Mediator as a reasonable candidate.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Under stoichiometric conditions with high concentrations of proteins and DNA, Myc-Max heterodimers display relaxed sequence specificity</title><p>Because of the low correlation between Myc-Max genome occupancy and CACGTG sequences, we re-examined the DNA binding properties of the Myc and Max proteins. Full length versions of Myc and two isoforms of Max, Max<sup>S</sup> and Max<sup>L</sup>, were expressed in <italic>E. coli</italic> and purified to homogeneity (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>A). The two Max isoforms were also individually mixed with Myc under denaturing conditions, allowed to refold using a step dialysis protocol, and then purified to obtain native, homogeneous heterodimers of Myc-Max<sup>S</sup> and Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>A). Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were carried out using three 26 bp dsDNA oligos that were identical except for the center 6 bps that contained the canonical CACGTG E-box, GTGGTG, or a completely unrelated sequence ATCTAG (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>B). Native gels were silver stained to examine the shift in the position of 200 ng of protein. As expected, both homodimeric Max isoforms bound stoichiometrically to the CACGTG containing probe producing protein/DNA complexes that migrated further than the free proteins. Max<sup>S</sup> displayed only very weak, transient binding to the other two probes while Max<sup>L</sup> had reduced, but significant affinity for GTGGTG and low affinity for the ATCTAG probe (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>B). Both Myc-Max complexes, regardless of Max isoform, produced a discrete protein DNA complex with the CACGTG probe. Surprisingly, both heterodimers bound stoichiometrically to the other two non-E-box probes (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>B). Two individual studies assaying DNA binding with the same full-length proteins yielded identical shifting patterns [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>]. The differences in the relative levels of staining of free and DNA-bound forms of Max versus Myc-Max was caused by differences in the staining (development time) of the four representative gels shown. When Max<sup>L</sup> and Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> were analyzed on the same gel they displayed similar staining levels and comparable increases in staining when bound to DNA (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>C). It is important to understand that these EMSAs (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>B and C) were carried out under stoichiometric conditions with high concentrations proteins and DNA. These conditions do not allow the determination of dissociation constants and, especially for Myc-Max, do not display the sequence specific differences in binding that are known to exist. Instead they show that Myc-Max can bind to any DNA sequence at the high, but not unreasonable concentration tested (125 nM). The Myc-Max-DNA complexes showed only a small change in mobility comparing to the free proteins. This could be due to a change in conformation of Myc-Max that leads to a lowering of the mobility like that seen for HEXIM1 bound to 7SK RNA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>].<fig id="Fig3"><label>Figure 3</label><caption><p><bold>Biochemical analysis of Myc and Max.

Max<sup>L</sup> and Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> displayed tight binding to CACGTG (K<sub>d</sub>s of 0.4 nM and 0.1 nM, respectively) (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>D). Max<sup>L</sup> did not form a discrete complex with the ATCTAG probe with the concentrations of protein tested (K<sub>d</sub> >1 μM), but instead gave only a smeary band below the position of a tightly bound complex (arrow) (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>E). This is due to initial binding followed by release of the probe during the running of the gel. Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> displayed significant affinity for the ATCTAG probe (K<sub>d</sub> = 20 nM) (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>F). Competition binding assays under these non-stoichiometric conditions demonstrated that CACGTG containing DNA was able to compete with the binding of Max<sup>L</sup> and Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> to the CACGTG probe (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>G and H). At 1,000-fold higher concentration, the ATCTAG containing DNA was also able to compete for binding of both Max and Myc-Max to the CACGTG probe (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>G and H). These results indicate that both Max and Myc-Max prefer to bind to the probe containing CACGTG as expected. In the stoichiometric assay described above, 125 nM Myc-Max but not 250 nM Max dimer formed discrete complexes with ATCTAG DNA. In the non-stoichiometric assay, Myc-Max displayed significantly higher affinity for the ATCTAG probe than Max and this difference was seen at 10 and 100 nM protein (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>F). In the competition assay (1 nM protein) the difference between Myc-Max and Max was not seen. The concentration dependent change in the relative binding of Myc-Max and Max to non-specific DNA we observed could be related to the different on and off rates for the two proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>]. From all of the <italic>in vitro</italic> binding studies shown so far, we conclude that Myc-Max demonstrates a sequence preference, but that it also has significant affinity for DNA lacking a canonical E-box.</p></sec><sec id="Sec5"><title>Determination of the complete sequence preference for Myc-Max and comparison with occupancy in cells</title><p>In our first attempts at trying to compare the <italic>in vivo</italic> occupancy of Myc and Max to the location of E-boxes, we ran into difficulty because of the existence of a large number of reported non-canonical E-boxes. Without quantification of the relative affinity of Myc-Max for all these sites it was difficult to correlate them with <italic>in vivo</italic> occupancy. Because of this, protein-binding microarray (PBM) assays using ‘all 10-mer’ universal array designs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>] were used to quantify the relative occupancies of the Myc-Max<sup>L</sup> heterodimer and the Max<sup>L</sup> homodimer across all possible 8 bp sequences (that is, 8-mers). After normalization, relative Myc-Max occupancy for each of the 32,896 8-mers exhibited a 56-fold range, from 0.018 to 1 (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>A, inset). Although the method is very different from the EMSA assay described above, the PBM results also reflect the relaxed sequence preferences of Myc-Max. Most of the sequences containing CACGTG had high occupancy, but flanking bases had a significant influence (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>A). In addition, we found several E-box variants and other core 6-mers with relatively high Myc-Max occupancy. The top 12 core 6-mers and the effect of the flanking bases are shown in Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>A. Like the canonical CACGTG core, Myc-Max occupancy of the other core 6-mers was significantly affected by flanking bases.<fig id="Fig4"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p><bold>Binding of Myc to all possible 8-mers and comparison with genomic occupancy.

A genome browser track comprising the location and relative <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancy (percent of the top binding site) of each of the top 12 6-mers was generated that graphically displays the range of intrinsic affinities across the genome (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>B). This is an improvement compared to just marking canonical and non-canonical E-boxes without regard to relative affinities of the different sites. Visual comparison of the occupancy of Myc, Max, and Pol II in HeLa cells to the accurate distribution of intrinsic affinities does not provide evidence for a strong correlation between intrinsic affinity and occupancy in cells (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>B). Closer inspection revealed that strong binding sites were not occupied and Myc and Max were found in regions that did not have any of the top 12 6-mer sites (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>C and D).</p><p>Several analyses were performed to compute the correlation between the 8-mer sequence preferences determined by PBM and the actual genomic occupancy of Myc, as measured by ChIP-Seq. The ChIP-Seq Peak algorithm [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>] was used to determine the genomic location of each of the top 30,000 Myc peaks in HeLa cells. A 100 bp interval surrounding each peak was scanned to find the 8-mer with the highest possible <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancy and this score was assigned to each ChIP-Seq peak. These <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancy scores were normalized to 1, rank-ordered from highest to lowest values, and then plotted for all 30,000 peaks (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>A, blue plot). Seventy-four percent of these Myc peaks were associated with low affinity 8-mers with <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancies below 0.2. To determine if the distribution of 8-mers around sites of Myc occupancy is different from what occurs by chance, the same analysis was performed on 30,000 100 bp regions randomly chosen from accessible DNA (DNase I sensitive regions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>]) (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>A, black plot). The choice of DNase I sensitive regions as control sequences for this analysis is justified by the fact that 95% of the Myc peaks fall within such regions. Comparison of the two plots indicated that, as expected, genomic loci occupied by Myc contain more sites with high <italic>in vitro</italic> Myc occupancy compared to random accessible DNA regions (Wilcoxon rank-sum test: <italic>P</italic> value < 2.2 × 10<sup>-16</sup>). This enrichment is further shown by means of a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>A, inset). ROCs are commonly used in genomic analyses to assess whether a specific quantitative feature (here, <italic>in vitro</italic> Myc occupancy) can distinguish between two classes of sequences (here, ChIP-Seq peaks versus random accessible regions). Although the area under the ROC curve is better than expected by chance (0.637 vs. 0.5), the ROC analysis shows that the <italic>in vitro</italic> 8-mer occupancies cannot be used to accurately predict whether an accessible genomic region will be bound by Myc in cells. Here, the ROC plot shows that at a false positive rate of 0.1, the true positive rate is only 0.25. To make only 10% false positive predictions of Myc <italic>in vivo</italic> binding using the <italic>in vitro</italic> 8-mer scores, we would only be able to capture 25% of the true Myc ChIP-Seq peaks. This means that the vast majority of sites occupied by Myc are associated with low scoring 8-mers, as graphically indicated in Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>A.<fig id="Fig5"><label>Figure 5</label><caption><p><bold>Comparison of Myc ChIP-Seq occupancy with</bold><bold><italic>in vitro</italic></bold><bold>binding affinities.

The Myc ChIP-Seq signal of the top 30,000 peaks varies about 30-fold (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>B, blue line showing decreasing occupancy from left to right). Using the same x-axis, a second plot was generated that displays the relative affinity of the best 8-mer associated with each of these Myc peaks (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>B, black dots). A slight preference for high affinity 8-mers is visible over the top 5,000 Myc peaks, but the overwhelming conclusion is that 8-mers with a wide range of <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancies are found around Myc peaks irrespective of the level of <italic>in vivo</italic> occupancy (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>B). While a statistically significant correlation can be observed between Myc ChIP-Seq occupancy and <italic>in vitro</italic> 8-mer binding strength, this relationship is weak (Spearman correlation coefficient: ρ = 0.22, <italic>P</italic> value < 2.2 × 10<sup>-16</sup>). Had the cellular occupancy correlated well with the affinity for the underlying DNA sequences, there would have been a cloud of black dots clustered around the blue curve in Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>B and the Spearman correlation coefficient would have been close to 1. A plot of the same data after ChIP-Seq peaks were grouped into log-scaled bins provides a more detailed view of the high occupancy sites in cells that might be expected to correlate better with intrinsic DNA affinities. However, the huge range of <italic>in vitro</italic> occupancy scores is clearly found even for the highest occupancy sites (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>C). All these analyses suggest that Myc occupancy is driven only to a small extent by its intrinsic sequence preference, and additional mechanisms are required to recruit Myc to its genomic binding locations in the cell.</p></sec><sec id="Sec6"><title>Genomic sites with higher relative levels of Max</title><p>Apart from associating with Myc, Max can form Max-Max homodimers or bind with Mad proteins to form Mad-Max heterodimers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>] and these can also bind E-box DNA sites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>]. We reasoned that such sites might have more Max than Myc. To identify these sites the HeLa Myc and Max datasets were normalized and a new track was generated in which the ChIP-Seq signal for Myc was subtracted from the signal for Max. Several thousand peaks with significant levels of extra Max were found. A representative region of chromosome 17, covering about 1 million bps that contains more than a dozen genes occupied by Pol II, Myc, and Max, is shown in Figure <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>. The region contains about 20 peaks of Myc and Max and two of these sites have significant levels of extra Max. Both peaks of extra Max are on top of high scoring CACGTG sites (Figure <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>B and C). Interestingly, the top 5,000 sites with extra Max (difference values greater than 0.5) were more tightly associated with high scoring 8-mers than were Myc sites (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S3A) and had a more significant overlap with CACGTG than the Myc sites (Fisher’s exact test: <italic>P</italic> value <10<sup>-300</sup> for extra Max sites vs. 4.5 × 10<sup>-7</sup> for Myc sites). The top 1,487 peaks of extra Max (difference values greater than 1.0) were selected for further analysis (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">2</xref>: Table S1). These sites were always close to peaks of Myc, Max, and Pol II, but only 417 of these peaks were within 250 bp of an annotated TSS. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed on the associated genes, but no significant enrichment in any type of gene was uncovered. To determine if sites of extra Max might affect gene expression, the mRNA levels of those genes were compared to the mRNA levels of the top 12,000 expressed genes as determined by RNA-Seq. The RNA levels of 351 (of the 417) genes that were identifiable in the RNA-Seq dataset were distributed uniformly across the entire range of top 12,000 expressed genes covering more than three orders of magnitude in RNA levels (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S3B). Thus, the sites with extra Max do not seem to be associated with any particular set of genes and do not correlate with the expression level of the genes they are associated with.

However, we showed that sites of Myc occupancy were more highly correlated with Pol II rather than specific sequence elements. For sites near annotated TSSs, Myc was found about 100 bp upstream of the promoter proximal paused Pol II. We propose that for a large fraction of genes, the transcription machinery (which includes both initiation and elongation factors) is primarily responsible for recruitment of Myc-Max. The affinity of Myc-Max for DNA (K<sub>d</sub> = 10<sup>-8</sup> to 10<sup>-10</sup> M, depending on the sequence) could then stabilize this interaction with specific sequence elements playing only a minor role (Figure <xref rid="Fig7" ref-type="fig">7</xref>, lower panel). The interaction(s) leading to Myc-Max occupancy is likely between the highly unstructured N-terminal transcription activation domain of Myc and factors in the transcription machinery. The model explains how Myc could influence entire transcription programs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. One possible mechanism for Myc function that is consistent with what we now know is that Myc could be recruited by Mediator or another factor which is associated with the promoter proximal paused Pol II and then bind with Max relatively non-specifically to the promoter DNA. This could help keep the promoter region free of nucleosomes and primed for preinitiation complex formation if the paused polymerase was released into productive elongation or terminated. This mechanism could explain how Myc leads to universal amplification of gene expression in that it would generally increase accessibility of promoters and, therefore, responsiveness to the signals that regulate transcription of specific genes.<fig id="Fig7"><label>Figure 7</label><caption><p><bold>Two models of Myc-Max recruitment.</bold> The top panel illustrates the prevailing view of E-box recruitment of Myc-Max followed by interactions of Mediator and other factors that affect transcription. The bottom panel is an alternative view supported by the results presented here in which Myc-Max is recruited by the transcription machinery and bound with a relaxed sequence requirement to promoter DNA. We suggest that the Myc-Max occupancy of the promoter region helps keep the promoter free of nucleosomes and the resulting increased accessibility of the promoter is responsible for the amplification of gene expression caused by Myc.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="13059_2014_482_Fig7_HTML" id="MO7"></graphic></fig></p><p>Consideration of the size of the mammalian nucleus, the amount of Myc expressed, and the biochemical parameters of Myc-Max binding to DNA determined here leads to the interesting conclusion that almost all the Myc should be bound to DNA regardless of the influence of specific sequences. Quantification of Myc was recently reported for Myc-inducible P493-6 cells. It was found that before induction there were 13,000 molecules of Myc per cell and 77,000 and 362,000 molecules per cell after 1 or 24 h of induction. Taking into account the estimated volume of a mammalian cell nucleus of 4 × 10<sup>-13</sup> liters, this means the concentration of Myc would start at 50 nM before induction and reach 1.5 μM after 24 h induction. If free DNA was available, Myc-Max should be bound before and after induction since the K<sub>d</sub> for even low affinity sites is 20 nM. An analysis of DNase I hypersensitivity, FAIRE, and occupancy of DNA binding transcription factors from ENCODE data in five human cell lines led to the estimation that about 3% of the genome is relatively free of histones and available for binding of factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref>]. This would be about 180,000,000 bp considering there are two genomes per cell. This means that even at the highest concentration of Myc, there are 500 bp of available DNA per Myc molecule and, therefore, all Myc should be bound to DNA. Our <italic>in vitro</italic> binding data demonstrates that the top 16 8-mers cover the top 65% of the normalized occupancy (see Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). One of these 8-mers should occur on average only every 4,000 bp. Therefore, most of the Myc should be bound to lower affinity sites and this is borne out by our bioinformatic analyses. It has been estimated that there are about 180,000 Pol II molecules engaged in transcription in the average HeLa nucleus and it is likely significant that the level of Myc in a high expressing cell is similar, since Myc correlates highly with the position of engaged Pol II. Sites of occupancy of Pol II and Myc rise concomitantly during induction of Myc in P493-6 cells (Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>: Figure S4), further connecting Myc and promoter proximal paused Pol II [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>The specific interaction(s) that bridges Myc with the transcription machinery is not clear, but Mediator is found in a similar position to Myc upstream of the promoter proximal paused Pol II. Like Mediator, Myc and Max peaked upstream of the TSS. Both the Myc and Mediator peaks extended into the downstream region occupied by Pol II. This could be due to crosslinking between the N-terminal transcription activation domain of Myc with Mediator, which has been shown to interact with both Pol II [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">49</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">50</xref>] and Myc [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>], leading to indirect crosslinking through the polymerase to downstream DNA. Perhaps in an analogous manner, the N-terminal domain of KLF3 which interacts with other transcription factors but is not involved in DNA binding has been recently demonstrated to play a major role in genome occupancy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">52</xref>]. Besides Mediator [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>] and Pol II [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">53</xref>], Myc has been shown to associate with a number of factors including TRRAP, P-TEFb, chromatin remodeling machinery, DNA repair machinery, and other proteins involved in transcription and other processes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">53</xref>].</p><p>Our results have clarified the DNA binding preferences of the Myc-Max heterodimer, widening the range of core binding sites bound specifically by Myc-Max and suggesting that non-specific interactions could also be significant. In examining binding to all possible 8-mers it became apparent that sequences flanking the core 6-mers were important. Changing the flanking sequences of the canonical E-box 6-mer from GCACGTGC to TCACGTGA resulted in a four- or five-fold reduction in Myc-Max and Max binding. A similar reduction has been previously noted for Pho4p but not Cbf1p, two yeast bHLH proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR54">54</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR55">55</xref>]. Despite our expanded understanding of the relative interaction potentials of Myc-Max with all possible 8-mers, a strong correlation of Myc occupancy in cells to the underlying sequence could not be made.</p><p>How did it become so generally accepted that Myc-Max functioned as a specific DNA binding factor? As shown here and from earlier studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>], Myc-Max does have a preference for certain sequences <italic>in vitro</italic>. Previously, these preferences were determined using EMSAs that routinely included unlabeled carrier DNA. Unfortunately, this leads to an inaccurate determination of the actual range of affinities for different sequences. Many reporter assays have been performed where the presence of a CACGTG E-box sequence enhances the expression of the reporter (for example, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR56">56</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">57</xref>]). In almost all such experiments, only small (2-fold or less) effects are found and sequence-independent effects of Myc are normalized away. The small effects seen are consistent with our model in which having high affinity sites close to the promoter could fine tune the recruitment of Myc. Another issue arises from the misinterpretation of results obtained by programs, such as Multiple Em for Motif Elicitation (MEME) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR58">58</xref>], which discover sequence motifs that are significantly enriched in a population of DNA sequences. However, identification of a motif (with a corresponding low <italic>P</italic> value) does not mean that sites matching the motif are present in all of the DNA sequences analyzed. In fact, very significant enrichment for a particular motif can be observed even when only a very small fraction of the analyzed sequences contain the motif. A second problem arises because of the length of the sequences analyzed and the resolution of actual binding site. Reasonable quality ChIP-Seq datasets like those analyzed here can determine individual binding sites to within 25 to 50 bps. If the fragments analyzed by a motif discovery algorithm are more than about 100 bp (as they usually are), a particular motif can be present in the sequence analyzed but not be bound (for example, see Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>B).</p><p>The model we propose for Myc might be applicable to other transcription factors. Significant overlap of occupancy between Myc and other factors such as AP-1 and AP-2 can be observed and two recent ENCODE reports showed co-association of many transcription factors binding to ‘surprisingly plastic’ DNA sequences [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR59">59</xref>]. Indeed, our results suggest that it may be time to revisit the significance of sequence-specific binding for many transcription factors in higher eukaryotes. The <italic>E. coli</italic> lac repressor paradigm [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR60">60</xref>], in which occupancy of a specific site on a 4 million bp genome is driven by a seven order of magnitude difference between specific and non-specific binding, may not apply to certain human transcription factors. The generally repressive structure of chromatin in eukaryotes can mask most non-specific and specific sites thereby reducing the complexity of DNA that would otherwise be available for binding [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR61">61</xref>]. In addition, nucleosomes would also obstruct 1-D sliding, one of the important mechanisms used by lac repressor to locate specific sites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR62">62</xref>]. The human genome encodes about a thousand DNA binding transcription factors with a wide range of sequence specificity. At one extreme, CTCF is almost always bound to one of several sequence motifs, as determined by differential involvement of its 11 Zinc fingers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR63">63</xref>]. TBP on the other hand is found at all promoters regardless of the presence of the TATA sequence it recognizes due to interaction with the transcription machinery [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR64">64</xref>]. The metazoan genomic landscape may be too complex for all factors to rely solely on sequence specificity for occupancy and function.</p></sec><sec id="Sec8" sec-type="conclusion"><title>Conclusions</title><p>We combined an extensive determination of the DNA binding properties of Myc-Max with genome-wide occupancies of Myc, Max, and Pol II and conclude that the affinity of Myc-Max for specific DNA sequences cannot be the main determinant of Myc genomic occupancy in cells. Our results indicate that the range in affinities <italic>in vitro</italic> for different sequences covers only a little over two orders of magnitude (K<sub>d</sub> = 10<sup>-8</sup> to 10<sup>-10</sup> M). Even taking into account the fact that much of the human genome is not accessible due to chromatin structure, we found that Myc occupancy was not well correlated with affinity for underlying DNA in accessible regions. We found instead a strong correlation of Myc (and Max) occupancy with that of Pol II and on average Myc was located about 100 bp upstream of the promoter proximal paused Pol II. We propose that Myc is a general factor brought to promoters predominately by protein-protein interactions and like TBP, its recruitment to promoters does not strictly require sequence specific binding.</p></sec><sec id="Sec9" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec10"><title>ChIP-Seq datasets</title><p>The alignment files of HeLa, GM12878, and K562 cell lines were downloaded from human ENCODE Project at UCSC [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR65">65</xref>].

Only sequences that mapped uniquely to the genome with zero or one mismatch were used for further analysis. When multiple sequences mapped to the same genomic position, a maximum of two reads mapping to the same position were used. The sequenced reads were extended 200 bp to account for the size of sequenced fragments and then allocated into 25 base pair bins. The data from each bin were combined to generate the wiggle (WIG) files, which can be uploaded to UCSC genome browser.

The difference between two tracks was quantified as the sum of the absolute values of two tracks at each point.

The peak positions with heights at least 30 (about 10% of highest peak height) were used to retrieve the sequences within 50 bases of peak locations. To generate Max minus Myc peaks, the Myc and Max datasets were first normalized so that the total reads were 1 million and then subtracted from each other before the ChIP-Seq Peak algorithm was applied. The peaks identified were further annotated with the RefSeq genes and RNA expression levels (GSE23316) across the genome.
