A Unified View of the Sequence and Functional Organization of the Human RNA Polymerase II Promoter

ABSTRACT: To expand our understanding of the interplay of human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) promoter elements, promoter-proximal pausing, local chromatin structure, and co-transcriptional RNA processing, the 5′ and 3′ ends of nascent, capped transcripts and the locations of nearby nucleosomes were accurately identified. High-quality visualization tools revealed sequence elements defining the core promoter, sites of pausing, and nucleosome positioning across over 177,000 transcription start regions (TSRs). We found that cap methylation begins as transcripts attain a length of about 30 nt. A nuclear run-off assay was developed that utilizes the unique properties of the DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) to demonstrate the relative location of nucleosomes and paused Pol II. Our data support the conclusion that human Pol II promoters are functional TFIID binding sites with built-in downstream information directing ubiquitous promoter proximal pausing and the downstream nucleosome location.

Transcriptional Pause Sites Delineate Stable Nucleosome-Associated Premature Polyadenylation Suppressed by U1 snRNP [2P-seq, Pabpn1 CKO]

Project description:Regulation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation is a critical step in gene regulation. Here, we report that U1 snRNP recognition and transcription pausing at stable nucleosomes are linked through premature polyadenylation signal (PAS) termination. By generating RNA exosome conditional deletion mouse embryonic stem cells, we identified a large class of polyadenylated short transcripts in the sense direction destabilized by the RNA exosome. These PAS termination events are enriched at the first few stable nucleosomes flanking CpG islands and suppressed by U1 snRNP. Thus, promoter-proximal Pol II pausing consists of two processes: TSS-proximal and +1 stable nucleosome pausing, with PAS termination coinciding with the latter. While pausing factors NELF/DSIF only function in the former step, flavopiridol-sensitive mechanism(s) and Myc modulate both steps. We propose that premature PAS termination near the nucleosome-associated pause site represents a common transcriptional elongation checkpoint regulated by U1 snRNP recognition, nucleosome stability, and Myc activity.

Pausing of RNA polymerase II disrupts DNA-specified nucleosome organization to enable precise gene regulation: ChIP-chip data

Project description:Metazoan transcription is controlled through either coordinated recruitment of transcription machinery to the gene promoter, or subsequently, through regulated pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in early elongation. We report that a key difference between genes that use these distinct regulatory strategies lies in the chromatin architecture specified by their DNA sequences. Pol II pausing is prominent at highly-regulated genes whose sequences inherently disfavor nucleosome formation within the gene, but favor nucleosomal occlusion of the promoter. Pausing of polymerase maintains these genes in an active state by inhibiting the formation of repressive promoter chromatin. In contrast, promoters of housekeeping genes that lack paused Pol II are deprived of nucleosomes regardless of polymerase binding, but show higher nucleosome occupancy downstream. Our results suggest that the âdefaultâ chromatin state of a gene instructs its regulation, and that highly-regulated promoters have evolved to encourage competition between nucleosomes and paused Pol II for promoter occupancy. All experiments were done using two channels per chip, comparing DNA immunoprecipitated by the indicated antibody to matching input chromatin used for affinity purification. Where appropriate, replicate data sets were averaged.

JMJD5 couples with CDK9 to release the paused RNA polymerase II

Project description:More than 30% of genes in higher eukaryotes are regulated by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter proximal pausing. Pausing is released by the positive transcription elongation factor complex (P-TEFb). However, the exact mechanism by which this occurs and whether phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminal domain of Pol II is involved in the process remains unknown. We previously reported that JMJD5 could generate tailless nucleosomes at position +1 from transcription start sites (TSS) thus perhaps enable progression of Pol II. Here we find that knockout of JMJD5 leads to accumulation of nucleosomes at position +1. Absence of JMJD5 also results in loss of or lowered transcription of a large number of genes. Interestingly, we found that phosphorylation, by CDK9, of Ser2 within two neighboring heptad repeats in the carboxy-terminal domain of Pol II together with phosphorylation of Ser5 within the second repeat, HR-Ser2p(1,2)-Ser5p(2) for short, allows Pol II to bind JMJD5 via engagement of the N-terminal domain of JMJD5. We suggest that these events bring JMJD5 near the nucleosome at position +1, thus allowing JMJD5 to clip histones on this nucleosome, a phenomenon that may contribute to release of Pol II pausing.

Drosophila FACT Regulates Promoter Proximal Pol II Pausing and Chromatin Architecture [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The highly conserved histone chaperone FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is thought to contribute to the disassembly and reassembly of nucleosomes in the wake of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) passage through chromatin. However, FACT’s roles in chromatin biology and transcriptional regulation in vivo in higher eukaryotes are not well understood. Here, we report that depletion of FACT leads to a reduction in the duration of promoter-proximal pausing by Pol II in Drosophila S2 cells. In addition, FACT depletion leads to a modest decrease in the occupancy of histone H3, and to decrease in occupancy of histone H2A.v in promoter-proximal nucleosomes. Finally, we observed a dramatic 5’ to 3’ repositioning of the co-transcriptionally deposited histone modifications H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 in the FACT depleted cells. Taken together, our findings are consistent with the model that FACT contributes to the interplay between chromatin architecture and control of Pol II promoter-proximal pausing.
