Global Analysis of Short RNAs Reveals Widespread Promoter-Proximal Stalling and Arrest of Pol II

ABSTRACT: We developed a novel approach to isolate and characterize, at nucleotide-level resolution, the RNAs derived from RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in early elongation complexes. We find that high numbers of these short RNAs are not correlated with gene expression but instead are indicative of promoter-proximally stalled polymerase. High amounts of these short RNAs are generated from more than one third of all genes, indicating that Pol II stalls in the promoter-proximal region on global scale. We also find that the nucleotide composition of the initially transcribed sequence plays an important role in promoting transcriptional stalling and that early elongation complexes are highly susceptible to backtracking and arrest.

Emerging evidence indicates that gene expression in higher organisms is regulated by RNA polymerase II stalling during early transcription elongation. To probe the mechanisms responsible for this regulation, we developed methods to isolate and characterize short RNAs derived from stalled RNA polymerase II in Drosophila cells. Significant levels of these short RNAs were generated from more than one-third of all genes, indicating that promoter-proximal stalling is a general feature of early polyme ...[more]

RNA Polymerase II Pausing Can Be Retained or Acquired During Activation of Genes Involved in the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition

Project description:Promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing is implicated in the regulation of gene transcription. However, the mechanisms of pausing including its dynamics during transcriptional responses remain to be fully understood. We performed global analysis of short capped RNAs and Pol II Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing in MCF-7 breast cancer cells to map Pol II pausing across the genome, and used permanganate footprinting to specifically follow pausing during transcriptional activation of several genes involved in the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). We find that the gene for EMT master regulator Snail (SNAI1), but not Slug (SNAI2), shows evidence of Pol II pausing before activation. Transcriptional activation of the paused SNAI1 gene is accompanied by a further increase in Pol II pausing signal whereas activation of non-paused SNAI2 gene results in the acquisition of a typical pausing signature. The increase in pausing signal reflects increased transcription initiation without changes in Pol II pausing. Activation of the heat shock HSP70 gene involves pausing release that speeds up Pol II turnover, but does not change pausing location. We suggest that Pol II pausing is retained during transcriptional activation and can further undergo regulated release in a signal-specific manner. Untreated MCF-7 cells were analyzed for the distribution of Pol II using ChIP-sequencing with Anti-Pol II N-20 antibody (two independent biological replicates, A, B), and for the distribution of paused RNA polymerase II by sequencing of short capped RNAs (scRNAs) prepared from nuclei (three independent biological replicates, 1-3). All samples were sequenced on a MiSeq instrument in paired-end format

Transcriptome profiling of the endophyte Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN indicates sensing of the plant environment and drought stress

Project description:Whole transcriptome sequencing of B. phytofirmans PsJN colonizing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants was used to analyze in planta gene activity and in the response of strain PsJN to plant stress in three different time points. The transcriptome of PsJN colonizing in vitro potato plants showed a broad array of functionalities encoded on the genome of strain PsJN. Our study indicates that endophytic B. phytofirmans PsJN cells are active inside plants. Moreover, the activity of strain PsJN is affected by plant drought stress, it senses plant stress signals and adjusts its gene expression accordingly.

Comparative analysis of regulatory elements between Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae by genome-wide transcription start site profiling [TSS-Seq]

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of transcription start sites for two enterobacteria: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.By obtaining over fourteen billion bases of sequence from 5' RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) followed by deep sequencing, we generated genome-wide TSS (transcription start site) maps for those two species. With experimentally derived TSS datasets, we examined usage of multiple TSSs, length of 5' UTR (untranslated region), SD (Shine-Dalgarno) sequence motif, promoter sequence motif, and dinucleotide preference near TSS site. In addition, we used the TSS datasets to identify sRNAs (small RNAs) in E. coli and K. pneumoniae. Based on these analysis, we compared regulatory elements including promoter, 5' UTR and sRNAs between two species, and investigated similarities and differences of upstream regulatory regions. Moreover, sRNAs were also compared and analyzed in terms of their sequences and target sequences, presenting possible working mechanisms of K. pneumoniae sRNAs by transferring prior knowledge from E. coli sRNAs.

Comparative transcriptomics of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium marinum

Project description:Related surrogate species are often used to study the molecular basis of pathogenicity of a pathogen on the basis of a shared set of biological features generally attributable to a shared core genome consisting of orthologous genes. An important and understudied aspect, however, is the extent to which regulatory features affecting the expression of such shared genes are present in both species. Here we report on an analysis of whole transcriptome maps for an important member of the TB complex Mycobacterium bovis and a closely related model organism for studying mycobacterial pathogenicity Mycobacterium marinum.

Genome-wide identification of transcriptional start sites in the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii 3937 based on differential RNA-Seq (dRNA-Seq)

Project description:In this study transcriptional start sites (TSS) for the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii 3937 were determined based on differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) as previously described (Sharma and Vogel, 2014). RNAs from E-MTAB-541 (Jiang et al. 2015) were pooled into four samples S1 to S4 reflecting a variety of environmental conditions. Each of them resulted in a combination of stress conditions (pH, NaCl, H2O2) and growth conditions: exponential phase with stress (S1), exponential phase without stress (S2), stationary phase with stress (S3), stationary phase without stress (S4). Those samples were then supplied to Vertis Biotechnologie AG for TEX treatment and Illumina sequencing. Briefly, ribosomal RNA molecules were depleted from the total RNA samples using the Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit for bacteria (Epicentre). From the rRNA depleted RNA samples, the small RNA fractions <200 nt were separated from the large fractions using the RNeasy MinElute Cleanup Kit (Qiagen). TSS cDNA libraries were generated from the rRNA depleted large RNA fractions. First, the samples were fragmented using RNase III. Samples were then poly(A)-tailed using poly(A) polymerase, and split into two halves. One half was treated with Terminator exonuclease (+TEX, Epicentre), while the other one was left untreated (-TEX). 5'PPP structures were then converted into 5'P ends using RNA 5' Polyphosphatase (5'PP, Epicentre). Afterwards, an RNA adapter was ligated to the 5'P of the RNA. First-strand cDNA synthesis was performed using an oligo(dT)-adapter primer and the M-MLV reverse transcriptase. The resulting cDNAs were PCR-amplified using a high fidelity DNA polymerase, and purified using the Agencourt AMPure XP kit (Beckman Coulter Genomics). The cDNA pools were then sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 system using 60 bp read length and a single-end, strand-specific protocol. Sequencing reads were trimmed, and both polyA and adapters removed.
