Deregulated expression of mammalian lncRNA through loss of SPT6 induces R-loop formation, replication stress and cellular senescence

ABSTRACT: Extensive tracts of the mammalian genome that lack protein-coding function are still transcribed into long noncoding RNA. While these lncRNA are generally short-lived, length-restricted and non-polyadenylated, how their expression is distinguished from protein-coding genes remains enigmatic. Surprisingly depletion of the ubiquitous Pol II associated transcription elongation factor SPT6, promotes a redistribution of H3K36me3 histone marks from active protein coding to lncRNA genes which correlates with increased lncRNA transcription. SPT6 knockdown also impairs the recruitment of Integrator complex to chromatin which results in a transcriptional termination defect for lncRNA genes. This leads to the formation of extended, polyadenylated lncRNA that are both chromatin restricted and form increased levels of RNA:DNA hybrid (R-loops) that are associated with DNA damage. Additionally, these deregulated lncRNA overlap with DNA replication origins leading to localized DNA replication stress and a cellular senescence phenotype. Overall our results underline the importance of restricting lncRNA expression.

Deregulated Expression of Mammalian lncRNA through Loss of SPT6 Induces R-Loop Formation, Replication Stress, and Cellular Senescence

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) generates interspersed protein-coding and long noncoding (lnc) transcripts across the mammalian genome. We recently established that lncRNAs are transcribed by different Pol II CTD isoforms correlating with reduced RNA processing efficiency and increased RNA turnover. How protein-coding and lncRNA transcription units are distinguished during gene expression remains unclear. We now show that H3K36me3 chromatin is a predominant epigenetic mark for active protein-coding but not lncRNA genes. Surprisingly depletion of the Pol II associated transcription elongation factor SPT6, causes redistribution of H3K36me3 histone marks to lncRNA genes which correlates with increased lncRNA transcription. SPT6 knockdown also reduces recruitment of Integrator complex to chromatin resulting in a transcription termination defect for lncRNA genes. Notably these extended lncRNAs are both chromatin-restricted and form increased levels of RNA:DNA hybrid (R-loops) with associated DNA damage. This results in a cellular senescence phenotype and underlies the importance of restricting lncRNA expression.

The conserved histone chaperone Spt6 facilitates DNA replication and mediates genome stability [MCM ChIPseq]

Project description:Histone chaperones are an important class of factors that regulate chromatin accessibility for DNA-templated processes. Spt6 is a conserved histone chaperone and key regulator of transcription and chromatin structure. However, its functions outside of these roles have been little explored. In this work, we demonstrate a role for Spt6 in DNA replication and more broadly as a regulator of genome stability. Spt6 binds the replication machinery and mutations or loss of Spt6 impair DNA replication in vivo. Additionally, spt6 mutants are sensitive to DNA replication stress inducing agents, with increased sensitivity when combined with loss of DNA replication associated factors. Furthermore, spt6 mutants have elevated levels of DNA double strand breaks and are hyper-recombinogenic. R-loops do not appear to be elevated in spt6 mutants. In total, we identify Spt6 as a regulator of genome stability, at least in part through a role for Spt6 in DNA replication.

Control of chromatin structure by Spt6 has different consequences in coding and regulatory regions

Project description:Spt6 is a highly conserved factor that carries out important functions in transcription and chromatin structure. To gain new insights into Spt6, we measured nucleosome occupancy along Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome III in an spt6 mutant and found that the level of nucleosomes is greatly reduced accross some but not all coding regions. In addition, genome-wide location analyses of RNA polymerase II showed that the nucleosome loss in the spt6 mutant occurs over highly-transcribed genes. Unexpectedly, the effects of the spt6 mutation on nucleosome levels did not correlate with its effects on mRNA levels, suggesting that Spt6 plays distinct roles in controlling chromatin structure across coding regions and in transcriptional regulation. We studied one case of transcriptional regulation by Stp6, at the CHA1 gene, and showed that regulation likely occurs by Spt6 controlling the position of the +1 nucleosome. These results, along with previous studies, suggest that Spt6 regulates transcription by controlling chromatin structure over regulatory regions, and its effects on nucleosome levels over coding regions likely serve and independent function. In order to examine the genome-wide localization of RNAPII and Spt6 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RNAPII and Spt6 along with associated DNA sequences were immunoprecipitated using anti-8WG16 and anti-HA antibodies, respectively. The RNAPII and Spt6 chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed in duplicate from WT cells as described below. The extracted DNA was hybridized to a DNA microarray containing an average of 4 probes per kilobase across the whole yeast genome. The combined datasets are available in the supplemental files of the related publication.

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.

Targeted protein degradation reveals direct roles of SPT6 in POL2 elongation and termination

Project description:SPT6 is both, an important histone chaperone and POL2 elongation factor but its primary role on transcription in mammalian cells remains open, as no acute depletion system is available. We used targeted protein degradation to rapidly deplete SPT6 and analyzed defects in POL2 behavior by a multi-omics approach and estimated POL2 processivity, elongation rates and termination and compared it to gene transcription. Our data indicate that SPT6 is a crucial factor for POL2 elongation. Unexpectedly, SPT6 has also a vital role in POL2 termination, as acute depletion induces POL2 read through at most protein coding genes. In contrast, acute depletion did not induce spurious intragenic initiation, while this behavior can be induced by long-term depletion of SPT6 and can therefore be attributed to its function as a histone chaperone. In conclusion, targeted protein degradation of SPT6 allows the kinetic discrimination of its function as a histone chaperone and POL2 elongation factor.

Spatial regulation of transcription and histone occupancy by histone chaperones FACT and Spt6

Project description:The FACT complex and Spt6 are conserved histone chaperones that are recruited to the open reading frames of transcribed genes. In this study, we provide evidence that FACT interaction with acetylated H3 tail is important for its localization to the coding sequences. Pol II CTD kinase Kin28 additionally stimulates FACT recruitment to a subset of genes. Pol II occupancies in the 5’ ends of transcribed genes are greatly reduced on depleting FACT, whereas reduced occupancies at the 3’ ends were observed upon Spt6 depletion indicating that these factors modulate Pol II progression through distinct regions of transcribed coding sequences. While FACT is largely responsible for reassembling histones, we uncover a role for Spt6 in promoting histone eviction in addition to widely-accepted role for Spt6 in histone reassembly. Consistent with their localization in the coding regions, simultaneously impairing FACT and Spt6 function severely dampens histone eviction and impairs transcription genome-wide. ChIP-chip experiments to measure Spt16 occupancies in WT and kin28as mutant, as well Rpb3 and histone H3 occupancies in undepleted or depleted cells for Spt16 and Spt6, and also in the strain lacking Spt6 tandem SH2 domain

Spt6 is required for the fidelity of promoter selectivity

Project description:Spt6 is a conserved factor that controls transcription and chromatin structure across the genome. Although viewed as an elongation factor, spt6 mutations allow transcription from within coding regions, suggesting that Spt6 also controls initiation. To comprehensively characterize the requirement for Spt6 in transcription, we have used four approaches: TSS-seq and TFIIB ChIP-nexus to assay transcription initiation, NET-seq to assay elongating RNAPII, and MNase-seq to assay nucleosome occupancy and positioning. Our results demonstrate that Spt6 represses transcription initiation at thousands of intragenic promoters. We characterize these intragenic promoters, and find some features conserved with genic promoters and other features that are distinct. Finally, we show that Spt6 regulates transcription initiation at most genic promoters and propose a model of initiation site competition to account for this. Together, our results demonstrate that Spt6 controls the fidelity of transcription initiation throughout the genome and reveal the magnitude of the potential for expressing alternative genetic information via intragenic promoters.
