MYC Recruits SPT5 to RNA Polymerase II to Promote Processive Transcription Elongation

ABSTRACT: The MYC oncoprotein binds to promoter-proximal regions of virtually all transcribed genes and is expressed in a strictly growth factor-dependent manner in non-tumor cells. Here we show that MYC directly binds SPT5, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II (POL2) elongation factor DSIF. MYC recruits SPT5 to genes and enables the CDK7-dependent transfer of SPT5 onto POL2. Consistent with known functions of SPT5, MYC is required for fast and processive transcription elongation. In addition, MYC increases the directionality of promoters by stimulating sense transcription and suppressing the synthesis of antisense RNAs. Our results argue that MYC controls the productive assembly of POL2 with general elongation factors to form processive elongation complexes. The high levels of MYC that are expressed in tumors sequester SPT5 into non-functional complexes, slows transcription at growth-suppressive genes and promotes uncontrolled cellular growth.

Total RNA Pol2 ChIP-seq in mES cells treated with flavopiridol (Cdk9 inhibitor) after DSIF and NELF knockdown

Project description:Recent studies have found that promoter-proximal pausing occurs at most Pol2-regulated genes. DSIF and NELF function as negative elongation factors and promote Pol2 pausing. P-TEFb, whose enzymatic activity lies in the kinase Cdk9, positively regulates the transition into productive elongation by phosphorylating subunits in DSIF, NELF and Pol2. To gain insights into the interplay between these factors in regulating transcriptional pause release, we tested if knockdown of either pausing factor could bypass P-TEFb function. We find that P-TEFb function is still required for transcriptional elongation after DSIF or NELF knockdown. mES cells were infected with a shRNA hairpin to knockdown Spt5, Spt4, NelfE or control. The resulting cells were then treated with flavopiridol (1uM for 60 minutes). DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A sample of whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against total RNA Pol2 (Rpb1 N-terminus, Santa Cruz sc-899).

Targeting Processive Transcription Elongation via SEC Disruption for MYC-Induced Cancer Therapy

Project description:The super elongation complex (SEC) is required for robust and productive transcription through release of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) with its P-TEFb module and promoting transcriptional processivity with its ELL2 subunit. Malfunction of SEC contributes to multiple human diseases including cancer. Here, we identify peptidomimetic lead compounds, KL-1 and its structural homolog KL-2, which disrupt the interaction between the SEC scaffolding protein AFF4 and P-TEFb, resulting in impaired release of Pol II from promoter-proximal pause sites and a reduced average rate of processive transcription elongation. SEC is required for induction of heat-shock genes and treating cells with KL-1 and KL-2 attenuates the heat-shock response from Drosophila to human. SEC inhibition downregulates MYC and MYC-dependent transcriptional programs in mammalian cells and delays tumor progression in a mouse xenograft model of MYC-driven cancer, indicating that small-molecule disruptors of SEC could be used for targeted therapy of MYC-induced cancer.

siRNA profiling of Zebrafish embryos knocked down for Spt5

Project description:The Spt4-Spt5 complex, and its human homolog DSIF (DRB sensitivity-inducing factor), is unique in its ability to regulate Pol II processivity. Previous studies have shown that Spt5 has the characteristics of a general transcription-elongation factor. However, mutagenesis of Spt5 showed specific phenotypes during development, which were far less severe than those of Pol II defects or TBP deficient embryos. It seems paradoxical that a mutation which alters a general elongation factor can cause rather specific developmental defects. By using Spt5 knockdown zebrafish embryos and microarrays, here we showed that transcript abundance for only a small subset of genes is altered by loss of Spt5. Further investigation of the down-regulated genes showed that the genes most intensely repressed by the knockdown were strongly activated during early development in untreated embryos. Thus, this study shows that gene activation levels may create different requirements for Pol II processivity. Active transcription requires Spt5 for efficient elongation through its stimulatory activity on Pol II processivity. Experiment Overall Design: The expression pattern of Spt5 knockdown embryos was compared to that of the control mopholino oligo injected embryos, both at 21 hours post-fertilization, to show the targets of Spt5. The activation levels of the Spt5-knockdown affected genes were measured by compareing the abundance of transcripts in 21 hours post-fertilization untreated embryos to that in 5 hours post-fertilization untreated embryos.

RNA Polymerase II interactome in presence or absence of SPT6 in U2OS cells

Project description:SPT6 is a histone chaperone that tightly binds RNA polymerase II (POL2) during transcription elongation. However, its primary role in POL2 transcription is uncertain. We used targeted protein degradation to rapidly deplete SPT6 in human cells and analyzed defects in POL2 behavior by a multi-omics approach and mathematical modeling. Our data indicate that SPT6 is a crucial factor for POL2 processivity and is therefore required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes. Unexpectedly, SPT6 also has a vital role in POL2 termination, as acute depletion induced readthrough transcription for thousands of genes. Long-term depletion of SPT6 induced cryptic intragenic transcription, as observed earlier in yeast. However, this phenotype was not observed upon acute SPT6 depletion and therefore can be attributed to accumulated epigenetic perturbations in the absence of SPT6. In conclusion, targeted protein degradation of SPT6 allowed the temporal discrimination of its function as an epigenetic safeguard and POL2 elongation factor.

The DSIF subunits Spt4 and Spt5 have several unexpected, distinct roles in regulating immunoglobulin class switch recombination

Project description:Class-switch recombination (CSR), induced by activation-induced cytidine deaminase, can be divided into two phases: DNA cleavage of the switch (S) regions, and the joining of the cleaved ends of the different S regions. Here, we show that the DSIF complex (Spt4 and Spt5), a transcription elongation factor, is required for CSR in CH12F3-2A cells, and Spt4 and Spt5, carry out independent functions in CSR. Depleting Spt5 reduced the H3K4me3 levels and DNA cleavage at the S? region, whereas Spt4 knockdown did not perturb the H3K4me3 status or S region cleavage. Thus, we conclude that Spt5 plays a role similar to the histone chaperone FACT by regulating histone modification and DNA cleavage in CSR. Assay systems using synthetic repair substrates revealed that both Spt4 and Spt5 are required for non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination. Taken together, Spt4 and Spt5 are involved in multiple CSR steps, and can function independently. Spt4 or Spt5 were knocked down in CH12F3-2A cells in the presence of CD40L, IL4, TGFb (CIT) stimulation. RNA from each samples were extracted and relative difference in transcript level were compared with control RNAi-treated, CIT-stimulated samples.

The Integrator complex controls the termination of transcription at diverse classes of gene targets

Project description:Complexes containing INTS3 and either NABP1 or NABP2 were initially characterized in DNA damage responses, but their biochemical function remained unknown. Using affinity purifications and HIV Integration Targeting-Sequencing (HIT-Seq), we find that these complexes are part of the Integrator complex, which binds RNA Polymerase II and regulates specific target genes. Integrator cleaves snRNAs as part of their processing to their mature form in a mechanism that is intimately coupled with transcription termination. However, HIT-Seq reveals that Integrator also binds to the 3’ end of replication-dependent histones and promoter proximal regions of genes with polyadenylated transcripts. Depletion of Integrator subunits results in transcription termination failure, disrupting histone mRNA processing, and leading to polyadenylation of snRNAs and histone mRNAs. Furthermore, promoter proximal binding of Integrator negatively regulates expression of genes whose transcripts are normally polyadenylated. Integrator recruitment to all three gene classes is DSIF-dependent, suggesting that Integrator functions as a termination complex at DSIF-dependent RNA Polymerase II pause sites. HITseq was used to interrogate chromatin binding sites of of proteins in the complex (including INIP, INTS3, INTS9, INTS11, NABP1, NABP2, NELFA, NELFB, NELFCD, NELFE, SPT5). These proteins were fused to LEDGF-IBD and expressed in mouse LEDGF-/-MEF cells. The fusion proteins then target HIV integration to the chromatin binding sites. The HIV integration sites were identified using linker-mediated PCR and highthroughput sequencing and serve as surrogate for chromatin binding sites. Mapping was done using mouse genome mm9.
