Genome wide transcriptional response to altered levels of the Rpb7 subunit of RNA polymerase II identifies its role in DNA damage response in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

ABSTRACT: RNA Pol II is a highly conserved and multisubunit protein complex composed of 12 different subunits. Rpb4 and Rpb7 are small subunits and uniquely present in RNA Pol II in eukaryotes. Rpb7 is essential and highly conserved protein among all eukaryotes. However, we have a limited understanding of the functions of Rpb7 subunit. Therefore, in the present study, we have used whole genome microarrays to compare the transcriptional response of S. pombe cells expressing low levels of rpb7+ with wild type cells.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pol II Transcription Elongation Factor ELL Functions as Part of a Rudimentary Super Elongation Complex

Project description:ELL family transcription factors activate the overall rate of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription elongation by binding directly to Pol II and suppressing its tendency to pause. In metazoa, ELL regulates Pol II transcription elongation as part of a large multisubunit complex referred to as the Super Elongation Complex (SEC), which includes P-TEFb and EAF, AF9 or ENL, and an AFF family protein. Although orthologs of ELL and EAF have been identified in lower eukaryotes including S. pombe, it has been unclear whether SEC-like complexes function in lower eukaryotes. In this report, we describe isolation from S. pombe of an ELL-containing complex with features of a rudimentary SEC. This complex includes S. pombe Ell1, Eaf1, and a previously uncharacterized protein we designate Ell1 binding protein 1 (Ebp1), which is distantly related to metazoan AFF family members. Like the metazoan SEC, this S. pombe ELL complex appears to function broadly in Pol II transcription. Interestingly, it appears to have a particularly important role in regulating genes involved in cell separation.

Rpb4 functions mainly in mRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the central enzyme that carries out eukaryotic mRNA transcription and consists of a 10-subunit catalytic core and a heterodimeric subcomplex of subunits Rpb4 and Rpb7 (Rpb4/7). Rpb4/7 has been proposed to shuttle from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and to function there in mRNA translation and degradation. Here we provide evidence that Rpb4 mainly functions in nuclear mRNA synthesis by Pol II, and evidence arguing against an important cytoplasmic role. We used metabolic RNA labeling and comparative Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (cDTA) to show that Rpb4 deletion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes a drastic defect in mRNA synthesis that is compensated by down-regulation of mRNA degradation, resulting in mRNA level buffering. Deletion of Rpb4 can be rescued by covalent fusion of Rpb4 to the Pol II core subunit Rpb2, which largely restores mRNA synthesis and degradation defects caused by Rpb4 deletion. Thus Rpb4 is a bona fide Pol II core subunit which functions mainly in mRNA synthesis.

Numerous post-translational modifications of RNA polymerase II subunit Rpb4 link transcription to post-transcriptional mechanisms

Project description:Rpb4/7 binds RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcripts co-transcriptionally and accompanies them throughout their lives. By virtue of its capacity to interact with key regulators (e.g., Pol II, eIF3, Pat1) both temporarily and spatially, Rpb4/7 regulates the major stages of the mRNA lifecycle. Here we show that Rpb4/7 can undergo over 100 combinations of post-translational modifications (PTMs). Remarkably, the Rpb4/7 PTMs repertoire changes as the mRNA/Rpb4/7 complex progresses from one stage to the next. A mutagenesis approach in residues that undergo PTMs suggests that temporal Rpb4 PTMs regulate its interactions with key regulators of gene expression that control transcriptional and post-transcriptional stages. Moreover, one mutant type specifically affects mRNA synthesis despite its normal association with Pol II, whereas the other affects both mRNA synthesis and decay; both types disrupt the balance between mRNA synthesis and decay (‘mRNA buffering’) and the cell’s capacity to respond to the environment. Taken together, we propose that temporal Rpb4/7 PTMs are involved in cross talks among the various stages of the mRNA lifecycle.

Genome-associated RNA Polymerase II includes the dissociable Rpb4/7 subcomplex

Project description:Yeast RNA polymerase (Pol) II consists of a ten-subunit core enzyme and the Rpb4/7 subcomplex, which is dispensable for catalytic activity and dissociates in vitro. To investigate whether Rpb4/7 is an integral part of DNA-associated Pol II in vivo, we used chromatin immuno-precipitation coupled to high-resolution tiling microarray analysis. We show that the genome-wide occupancy profiles for Rpb7 and the core subunit Rpb3 are essentially identical. Thus, the complete Pol II associates with DNA in vivo, consistent with functional roles of Rpb4/7 throughout the transcription cycle. Keywords: ChIP-chip Comparison of Rpb3 vs. Rpb4/7 genome-wide occupancy profiles. Data obtained from independent ChIP-chip experiments on two yeast strains: S288C Rpb3TAP vs. Rpb7-TAP strain and W303 Rpb3-TAP vs. wild type strain (IP with the monoclonal antibody for Rpb4/7). Biological replicates W303 strains: 1 x Rpb3-TAP, 1 x wt with Rpb4/7 antibody, independently grown and harvested. Biological replicates S288C strains: 3 x Rpb3-TAP, 2 x Rpb7-TAP, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.

Genome-wide chromosomal associationof Upf1 is linked toPol II transcriptionin Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Although the RNA helicase Upf1 has hitherto been examined mostly in relation to its cytoplasmic role in nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD), here we report high-throughput ChIP data indicating genome-wide association of Upf1 with active genes in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. This association is RNase sensitive and it correlates with Pol II transcription and mRNA expression levels. Changes in Pol II occupancy were detected at only some genes in a Upf1-deficient (upf1strain, however there is an increased Ser2 Pol II signal at all highly transcribed genes examined by ChIP-qPCR. Furthermore, upf1cells are hypersensitive to the transcription elongation inhibitor 6-azauracil and display Pol II abnormalities suggestive of hyperphosphorylation. A significant proportion of the genes associated with Upf1 in wild-type conditions are also mis-regulated in upf1. These data predict that via association with the nascent transcript Upf1 might influence Pol II phosphorylation and transcription as well as mRNA processing of multiple genes.
