The mRNA degradation factor Xrn1 regulates transcription elongation in parallel to Ccr4

ABSTRACT: During the last decade several examples of coordination between gene transcription and mRNA degradation have been reported. mRNA imprinting by Rpb4 and 7 subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and by the Ccr4-Not complex allows controlling its fate during transcription. Transcription regulation by mRNA degradation factors like Xrn1 constitutes a feedback loop that contributes to mRNA homeostasis. Mechanistic details of these phenomena are unclear. Most studies involve measurement of mRNA decay rates, usually by stressing procedures such as transcriptional shut-off or incorporation of modified nucleotides that can lead to biased results. In this work we have used the easily repressible yeast GAL1 gene to perform a genetic analysis of mRNA synthesis and degradation under physiological conditions. We combined this experimental approach with computational multi-agent modelling, testing different possibilities of Xrn1 and Ccr4-Not action in gene transcription. This double strategy brought us to conclude that Xrn1 regulates RNAPII backtracking in a Ccr4-independent manner. We validated this conclusion measuring TFIIS genome-wide recruitment to elongating RNAPII molecules. We found that xrn1∆ and ccr4∆ exhibited very different patterns of TFIIS/RNPAII which confirmed their differential role in controlling transcription elongation.

Global changes in mRNA abundance drive differential shuttling of RNA binding proteins, linking cytoplasmic RNA degradation to transcription

Project description:Alterations in global mRNA decay can broadly impact multiple upstream and downstream stages of gene expression. For example, accelerated cytoplasmic mRNA degradation can trigger a reduction in mammalian RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription, although signals that connect these seemingly distal processes remain largely unknown. Here, we used tandem mass tag labeling with mass spectrometry to chart how changes in Xrn1-dependent mRNA degradation impact nuclear-cytoplasmic protein distribution in human cells. Notably, accelerating mRNA decay through expression of a gammaherpesviral endonuclease known to coordinate with Xrn1 drove nuclear relocalization of many RNA binding proteins. Particularly enriched in the relocalized subset were factors linked to the poly(A) tail. Conversely, cells lacking Xrn1 exhibited changes in the localization and/or abundance of numerous factors linked to mRNA turnover. Based on these data, we uncovered a new role for cytoplasmic poly(A) binding protein in repressing RNAPII transcription upon its mRNA decay-induced translocation to the nucleus.

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.

Xrn1 influence on gene transcription results from the combination of general effects on elongating RNA pol II and gene-specific chromatin configuration [RNA-seq]

Project description:mRNA homeostasis is favored by crosstalk between transcription and degradation machineries. Both the Ccr4-Not and the Xrn1-decaysome complexes have been described to influence transcription. While Ccr4-Not has been shown to directly stimulate transcription elongation, the information available on how Xrn1 influences transcription is scarce and contradictory. In this study we have addressed this issue by mapping RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) at high resolution, using CRAC and BioGRO-seq techniques in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found significant effects of Xrn1 perturbation on RNA pol II profiles across the genome. RNA pol II profiles at 5’ exhibited significant reductions in slope that were compatible with decreased elongation rates. This phenomenon was also observed soon after the nuclear pool of Xrn1 was depleted. Nucleosome mapping confirmed drastically altered chromatin dynamics. We also found an accumulation of arrested RNA pol II at the 3’ end, immediately upstream of polyadenylation sites of most genes, with particular incidence in those functionally related to regulatory processes. Lack of Xrn1 provoked alterations in RNA pol II CTD phosphorylation and increased recruitment of 3’ pre-mRNA processing factors. However, accumulation of RNA pol II at 3’ ends was rather related to the nucleosomal configuration of those regions.

Viral nucleases reveal an mRNA degradation-transcription feedback loop in mammalian cells

Project description:Gamma-herpesviruses encode a cytoplasmic mRNA-targeting endonuclease, termed SOX, that cleaves the majority of mRNAs within a cell. Cleaved fragments are subsequently degraded by the cellular mRNA degradation machinery. Here, we reveal that mammalian cells respond to this widespread cytoplasmic mRNA decay by altering levels of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription in the nucleus. Measurements of both RNAPII recruitment to promoters and nascent mRNA synthesis revealed that the majority of affected genes are transcriptionally repressed in SOX-expressing cells. The transcriptional feedback does not occur in response to the initial endonuclease-induced cleavage, but instead to degradation of the cleaved fragments by cellular exonucleases. In particular, Xrn1 catalytic activity is required for transcriptional repression. Notably, viral mRNA transcription escapes decay-induced repression, and this escape requires Xrn1. Collectively, these results indicate that mRNA decay rates impact transcription in mammalian cells, and that gamma-herpesviruses have incorporated this feedback mechanism into their own gene expression strategy.

Small RNA profiles from human genic regions suggest biogenic mechanisms and identify new Argonaute-associated species

Project description:Efforts to catalogue eukaryotic transcripts have uncovered a set of species derived from the termini and exon/intron boundaries of protein-coding loci. The biogenesis pathways of these small RNAs (sRNAs) are largely unknown, but a mechanism depending on backtracking of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) has been suggested. Moreover, the functional relevance, if any, of these sRNAs remains elusive. By sequencing 12-100nt transcripts from cells depleted of major RNA degradation enzymes as well as RNAs associated with the effector-proteins Argonaute (AGO) 1/2, we provide mechanistic models for sRNA production and utilization. We suggest that neither splice site associated (SSa)- nor transcription start site associated (TSSa)-RNAs arise from RNAPII backtracking. Instead SSa-RNAs are largely degradation products of mRNA splicing intermediates, while TSSa-RNAs likely derive from nascent RNA protected by stalled RNAPII against nucleolysis. We also reveal new AGO1/2-associated RNAs, including such derived from 3'ends of introns (5'tailed miRtrons) and from mRNA 3'UTRs. Interestingly, both appear to draw from non-canonical microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis pathways. 10 samples all from HeLa in three size ranges: 12-20, 18-30 and 30-100. 1 from 12-20: nuclear; 6 from 18-30: WT, nuclear, RRP40 knockdown, Ago1&2 IP, RRP40 knockdown and Ago1&2 IP, XRN1&2 knockdown; 3 from 30-100: WT, of RRP40 knockdown, XRN1&2 knockdown.

Rpb4 and Puf3 imprint and post-transcriptionally control stability of a common set of mRNAs in yeast

Project description:Gene expression involving RNA polymerase II is regulated by the concerted interplay between mRNA synthesis and degradation, a crosstalk where mRNA decay machinery impacts transcription and transcription machinery influences mRNA stability. Rpb4, and likely the dimer Rpb4/7 seem to be the central components of the RNA pol II governing these processes. In this work we unravel more precisely the molecular mechanisms participated by Rpb4 that mediates the posttranscriptional events regulating mRNA imprinting and stability. We analysed genome-wide, by RIP-seq, the association of Rpb4 with mRNAs and demonstrated that it targets a broad population of about 1400 transcripts. A group of mRNAs are also targets of the RPB, Puf3. We demonstrated that Rpb4 and Puf3, physically, genetically and functionally interact and cooperate to imprint and regulate stability of this group of mRNA. We also demonstrated, by the first time, that Puf3 associates with the chromatin, in an Rpb4-dependent manner. Our data also point to Rpb4 as the key element of the RNA pol II that interplay mRNA synthesis, imprinting and stability, in cooperation with RBPs.
