Transcriptional coactivators implicated in gene activation by the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) include members of the p160/steroid receptor coactivator (SRC) family of proteins, p300, and the multisubunit TR-associated protein (TRAP)/Mediator complex. We investigated the temporal recruitment of these cofactors to mammalian thyroid hormone (T3)-responsive promoters in vivo. We show that upon T3 treatment, TR recruits all three types of coactivators to specific promoters in at least two sequential steps: p160/SRC proteins and p300 are recruited first and rapidly induce histone acetylation, followed by the recruitment of the TRAP/Mediator complex. Interestingly, inhibition of histone deacetylase activity with trichostatin A elicited a more rapid promoter recruitment of the TRAP/Mediator complex but not p160/SRC proteins. T3-dependent gene expression assays indicate that all three coactivators are targeted to a promoter before significant activation occurs. These findings thus suggest that histone acetylation may be a prerequisite for TRAP/Mediator recruitment and function at specific T3-responsive mammalian promoters.
