Genome-wide identification of Polycomb-associated RNAs by RIP-seq

ABSTRACT: Large-scale analyses have revealed that 60-90% of the mammalian genome is transcriptionally active. Because <2% of sequences have protein-coding potential, why so much cellular energy is expended on RNA synthesis is a major question in the post-genomic era. The hypothesis that RNA may serve as recruiting platforms for chromatin modifiers has gained ground with discoveries linking long ncRNAs, such as RepA, Xist, and Tsix, to locus-specific targeting of Polycomb proteins to the X-chromosome. Long ncRNAs have also been associated with Polycomb proteins at human HOX loci. Here, we ask if RNA targeting may be a general feature of regulation for mouse Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). We develop a method to capture the 'PRC2 transcriptome' by combining RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) with deep sequencing (seq). RIP-seq of mouse embryonic stem cells identifies >3000 RNAs in the PRC2 transcriptome. Approximately 14% of RNAs originate from previously described PRC2-binding sites and many are promoter-associated. The transcriptome includes a large number of unannotated noncoding and antisense RNAs, with the X-chromosome exhibiting a high density of PRC2 RNAs. Imprinted genes and other disease genes, including those involved in cancer, are also well-represented. Functional validation of select candidates confirms RNA-PRC2 interactions in vivo and recruitment of Polycomb proteins in cis. Thus, RNA cofactors may be one general mechanism, among others, for targeting mammalian PRC2. Given PRC2's essential roles during stem cell renewal, development, and cancer, the PRC2 transcriptome described herein will provide a valuable resource for regenerative medicine and cancer biology.

Polycomb proteins play essential roles in stem cell renewal and human disease. Recent studies of HOX genes and X inactivation have provided evidence for RNA cofactors in Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Here we develop a RIP-seq method to capture the PRC2 transcriptome and identify a genome-wide pool of >9000 PRC2-interacting RNAs in embryonic stem cells. The transcriptome includes antisense, intergenic, and promoter-associated transcripts, as well as many unannotated RNAs. A large number o ...[more]

Project description:We examine the use of high-throughput sequencing on binding sites recovered using a bacterial one-hybrid (B1H) system and find that improved models of transcription factor (TF) binding specificity can be obtained compared to standard methods of sequencing a small subset of the selected clones. We can obtain even more accurate binding models using a modified version of B1H selection method with constrained variation (CV-B1H). However, achieving these improved models using CV-B1H data required the development of a new method of analysis - GRaMS (Growth Rate Modeling of Specificity) - that estimates bacterial growth rates as a function of the quality of the recognition sequence. We benchmark these different methods of motif discovery using Zif268, a well characterized C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor on both a 28bp randomized library for the standard B1H method and on 6bp randomized library for the CV-B1H method for which forty-five different experimental conditions were tested: 5 time points and three different IPTG and 3-AT concentrations. We find that GRaMS analysis is robust to the different experimental parameters whereas other analysis methods give widely varying results depending on the conditions of the experiment. Finally, we demonstrate that the CV-B1H assay can be performed in liquid media, which produces recognition models that are similar in quality to sequences recovered from selection on solid media. All selections were performed using the bait transcription factor Zif268. 45 different B1H selections were performed on plates and the selected sites were multiplexed and sequenced in a single lane. A single selection was performed in liquid media and sequenced along with other multiplexed sets of sites in a separate lane. For the experiments performed on plates, the of the selections assays was varied (4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours). The stringency of the selections was also varied by changing the concentration of IPTG (0, 10, 50 uM) and 3-AT (0.5, 1, 2 mM). The initial randomized library used for all selections was also sequenced in a single lane. The randomized portion of each transcription factor binding site is 6bp long and is immediately 5' of the constant sequence, GCGG, which is the consensus binding site for finger 1 of Zif268. Upstream of the randomized binding site is a 4bp randomized region referred to as the key region. The purpose of the key region is to detect possible PCR 'jackpotting.' The single liquid media experiment was run for 4 hours using 50uM IPTG and 5mM 3-AT. Four selections were performed using a prey library with a 28bp long randomized region and not fixed consensus site region. These selections were performed at either 36 or 48 hours using 10uM IPTG and 0, 2, or 5 mM 3-AT.

Project description:Recent data from several organisms indicate that the transcribed portions of genomes are larger and more complex than expected, and many functional properties of transcripts are not based on coding sequences but on regulatory sequences in untranslated regions or non-coding RNAs. Alternative start and polyadenylation sites and regulation of intron splicing add additional dimensions to the rich transcriptional output. This transcriptional complexity has been sampled mainly using hybridization-based methods under one or a few conditions. We applied direct high-throughput sequencing of cDNAs, complemented with different expression data from high-density tiling arrays, to globally sample transcripts of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, independently from available gene annotations. We interrogated transcriptomes under multiple conditions, including exponential proliferation, meiotic differentiation and environmental stress, and in RNA processing mutants, to reveal the dynamic plasticity of the transcriptional landscape as a function of environmental, developmental, and genetic factors. High-throughput sequencing proved to be a powerful and quantitative method to deeply sample transcriptomes at unprecedented resolution. Unlike hybridization, sequencing showed little, if any, background noise and was sensitive enough to detect widespread transcription in >90% of the genome, including traces of RNAs that were not actively transcribed or rapidly degraded. The combined sequencing and strand-specific array data provided rich information on novel, mostly non-coding transcripts, untranslated regions and gene structures, thus refining the existing genome annotation. Sequence trans-reads spanning exon-exon or exon-intron junctions gave unique insight into a surprising variability in splicing efficiency across introns and genes. Splicing efficiency was largely coordinated with transcriptional efficiency, and hundreds of introns showed regulated splicing as a function of cellular proliferation or differentiation.
