Functional association of Gdown1 with RNA Polymerase II in Human

ABSTRACT: Most human genes are loaded with promoter proximally paused RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) molecules that are poised for release into productive elongation by P-TEFb. Gdown1, a protein that renders RNAP II responsive to mediator, is involved in RNAP II elongation control. During in vitro transcription assays Gdown1 specifically blocked elongation stimulation by TFIIF, inhibited the termination activity of TTF2, and influenced pausing factors NELF and DSIF, but did not affect the function of TFIIS or the mRNA capping enzyme. Without P-TEFb, Gdown1 led to the production of stably paused polymerases in the presence of nuclear extract. ChIP-Seq data demonstrated that Gdown1 mapped over essentially all poised polymerases across the human genome. Gdown1 increases the stability of poised polymerases while maintaining their responsiveness to P-TEFb, and mediator overcomes a Gdown1-mediated block of initiation by allowing TFIIF function. 7 ChIP-Seq data for Pol II and Gdown1 in human HeLa cell.

Most human genes are loaded with promoter-proximally paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) molecules that are poised for release into productive elongation by P-TEFb. We present evidence that Gdown1, the product of the POLR2M gene that renders Pol II responsive to Mediator, is involved in Pol II elongation control. During in vitro transcription, Gdown1 specifically blocked elongation stimulation by TFIIF, inhibited the termination activity of TTF2, and influenced pausing factors NELF and DSIF, but d ...[more]

Project description:Compared to other model organisms and despite the clinical relevance of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, no comprehensive analysis has been done to provide experimental support of its in silico-based genome annotation. Here we have undertaken a genome-wide experimental annotation to accurately uncover the transcriptional landscape of the pathogenic yeast C. albicans using strand-specific high-density tiling arrays. RNAs were purified from cells growing under conditions relevant to C. albicans pathogenicity, including biofilm, lab-grown yeast and serum-induced hyphae as well as cells isolated from the mouse caecum. This work provides a genome-wide experimental validation for a large number of predicted ORFs for which transcription had not been detected by other approaches. Additionally, we identified more than 2000 novel transcriptional segments, including new ORFs and exons, non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) as well as convincing cases of antisense gene transcription. We also characterized the 5’- and 3’-untranslated regions (UTR) of expressed ORFs, and established that genes with long 5’UTRs are significantly enriched in regulatory functions controlling filamentous growth. Furthermore, we found that genomic regions adjacent to telomeres harbor a cluster of expressed ncRNAs. To validate and confirm new ncRNA candidates, we adapted an iterative strategy combining both genome-wide occupancy of the different subunits of RNA polymerases I, II and III, and expression data. This comprehensive approach allowed the identification of different families of ncRNA. In summary, we provide a comprehensive expression atlas that covers relevant C. albicans pathogenic developmental stages in addition to a discovery of new ORF and non-coding genetic elements. We have undertaken a genome-wide experimental annotation to accurately uncover the transcriptional landscape of the pathogenic yeast C. albicans using strand-specific high-density tiling arrays. RNAs were purified from cells growing under conditions relevant to Candida albicans pathogenicity, including biofilm, lab-grown yeast and serum-induced hyphae as well as cells isolated from the mouse caecum. We also adapted a strategy in which genome-wide occupancy of different subunits of RNA polymerases (RNAP) I, II and III, is combined with expression data to annotate ncRNAs resulting from real transcriptional events. For this purpose we have performed ChIP-chip of subunits that represent the three RNAP machines in C. albicans cells growing in rich media (YPD) at 30°C. In this study, we performed peak detection only for RNA Polymerase III (Rpc82p). All detected peaks and their genomic features are included as a supplementary file on the Sample record (GSM561024).
