High-resolution transcriptome-wide maps of Sen1 RNA-binding by CRAC


ABSTRACT: Pervasive transcription is a widespread phenomenon leading to the production of a plethora of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) without apparent function. Pervasive transcription poses a risk that needs to be controlled to prevent the perturbation of gene expression. In yeast, the highly conserved helicase Sen1 restricts pervasive transcription by inducing termination of non-coding transcription. However, the mechanisms underlying the specific function of Sen1 at ncRNAs are poorly understood. Here we identify a motif in an intrinsically disordered region of Sen1 that mimics the phosphorylated carboxy terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II and characterize structurally its recognition by the CTD-interacting domain of Nrd1, an RNA-binding protein that binds specific sequences in ncRNAs. In addition, we show that Sen1-dependent termination strictly requires the recognition of the Ser5-phosphorylated form of the CTD by the N-terminal domain of Sen1. Furthermore, we find that the N-terminal and the C-terminal domains of Sen1 can mediate intra-molecular interactions. Our results shed light onto the network of protein-protein interactions that control termination of non-coding transcription by Sen1.
