Project description:The genomic loci occupied by RNA polymerase (pol) III have been characterized in human culture cells by genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq). These studies have in particular shown that only about 40 % of the annotated 622 human tRNA genes and pseudogenes are occupied by pol III, and that these genes are often in regions of open chromatin rich in active pol II transcription units. Here we have used ChIP-Seq to characterize pol III-occupied loci in a differentiated tissue, the mouse liver. Our studies define the mouse liver pol III-occupied loci and point to a conserved pol III-occupied mammalian interspersed repeat (MIR) as a potential regulator of a pol III subunit-encoding gene. They reveal that synteny relationships can be established between a number of human and mouse pol III genes, and that the expression levels of these genes are significantly linked. They establish that variations within the A and B promoter boxes, as well as the strength of the terminator sequence can strongly affect pol III occupancy of tRNA genes. They reveal correlations with various genomic features that together describe the pol III occupancy scores over some 50% of tRNA genes. In mouse liver, pol III-occupied loci represented in the NCBI37/mm9 genome assembly comprise fifty 5S genes, fourteen known non-tRNA genes, nine 4.5S genes, and some twenty nine SINEs. In addition, out of the 433 annotated tRNA genes, half are occupied by pol III. Transfer RNA gene expression levels reflect both an underlying genomic organization that is conserved in dividing human culture cells and resting mouse liver cells, and the particular promoter and terminator strengths of individual genes. 12 samples examinded, 4 on pol III, 2 on pol II, 2 on H3K4me3, 2 on H3k36me3, 2 input samples.

Project description:During transcription the nascent RNA can invade the DNA template, forming extended RNA-DNA duplexes (R-loops). Here we employ ChIP-seq in strains expressing or lacking RNase H to map targets of RNase H activity throughout budding yeast genome. In wild-type strains, R-loops were readily detected over the 35S rDNA region transcribed by Pol I and over the 5S rDNA transcribed by Pol III. In strains lacking RNase H activity, R-loops were elevated over other Pol III genes notably tRNAs, SCR1 and U6 snRNA, and were also associated with the cDNAs of endogenous TY1 retrotransposons, which showed increased rates of mobility to the 5?-flanking regions of tRNA genes. Unexpectedly, R-loops were also associated with mitochondrial genes in the absence of RNase H1, but not of RNase H2. Finally, R-loops were detected on highly expressed protein-coding genes in the wild-type, notably over the second exon of spliced ribosomal protein genes.

Project description:H3 ChIP and input DNA were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip S. cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R Array Genome-wide mapping of nucleosomes generated by micrococcal nuclease (MNase) suggests that yeast promoter and terminator regions are very depleted of nucleosomes, predominantly because their DNA sequences intrinsically disfavor nucleosome formation. However, MNase has strong DNA sequence specificity that favors cleavage at promoters and terminators and accounts for some of the correlation between occupancy patterns of nucleosomes assembled in vivo and in vitro. Using an improved method for measuring nucleosome occupancy in vivo that does not involve MNase, we confirm that promoter regions are strongly depleted of nucleosomes, but find that terminator regions are much less depleted than expected. Unlike at promoter regions, nucleosome occupancy at terminators is strongly correlated with the orientation of and distance to adjacent genes. In addition, nucleosome occupancy at terminators is strongly affected by growth conditions, indicating that it is not primarily determined by intrinsic histone-DNA interactions. Rapid removal of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) causes increased nucleosome occupancy at terminators, strongly suggesting a transcription-based mechanism of nucleosome depletion. However, the distinct behavior of terminator regions and their corresponding coding regions suggests that nucleosome depletion at terminators is not simply associated with passage of Pol II, but rather involves a distinct mechanism linked to 3’ end formation.

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between Pol I transcription elongation rate and ribosomal RNA processing in vivo by using a yeast strain containing a mutation in Pol I. This mutation, rpa190-F1205H, has been previously characterized to have a reduced elongation rate in vitro. Here, we used native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) to determine the effect of this mutation on Pol I occupancy in vivo. Our findings demonstrate that this mutation induces increased Pol I pausing, especially in the first half of the 35S gene, and causes sequence-specific changes in Pol I occupancy.

Project description:Control of transcription speed, which influences many co-transcriptional processes, is poorly understood. We report that PNUTS-PP1 phosphatase is a negative regulator of RNA pol II elongation rate. The PNUTS W401A mutation, which disrupts PP1 binding, causes genome-wide acceleration of transcription associated with hyper-phosphorylation of the Spt5 elongation factor. Immediately downstream of poly(A) sites, pol II decelerates from >2kb/min to <1 kb/min, which correlates with Spt5 dephosphorylation. Pol II deceleration and Spt5 dephosphorylation require poly(A) site recognition and the PNUTS-PP1 complex, which is in turn necessary for transcription termination. These results lead to a new model for termination, the “sitting duck torpedo” mechanism, where poly(A) site-dependent deceleration caused by PNUTS-PP1 and Spt5 dephosphorylation is required to convert pol II into a viable target for the Xrn2 terminator exonuclease. Spt5 and its bacterial homologue NusG therefore have related functions controlling kinetic competition between RNA polymerases and the termination factors that pursue them.

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the effect of Spt4 on transcription by Pol I in vivo. Therefore, Native Elongating Transcript Sequencing (NET-seq) was used to evaluate the occupancy of Pol I in wild-type and spt4△ strains. We determined that in spt4△ yeast, there was a processivity defect and Pol I accumulated at the 5' end of the 35S gene. Additionally, we observed that there was an enrichment for G-rich sequences just downstream of a high A content in the spt4△ strain, indicating that perhaps Spt4 plays a role in helping to propel Pol I through these regions of the rDNA. Altogether, this study suggests that Spt4 is an important transcription factor for Pol I by promoting polymerase processivity.

Project description:Nucleosome arrays begin at nucleosome-free promoter regions (NFRs) and regulate gene expression. Reconstituting such organization throughout a genome with purified proteins is a critical challenge in establishing biochemical mechanisms for chromosome assembly. Here we establish a four-step hierarchical building plan for yeast genomic nucleosome organization using only purified components: genomic DNA, histones, site-specific organizing factors Abf1 and Reb1, and the chromatin remodelers RSC, ISW2, INO80, and ISW1a. First, RSC makes NFRs by translating promoter poly(dA:dT) tracts into directional nucleosome removal. Second, +1 nucleosomes are positioned by INO80 at most genes potentially involving DNA shape, or by ISW2 using gene-specific Abf1 and Reb1. Third, INO80 or ISW2 create arrays with wide spacing. Fourth, ISW1a tightens the spacing and creates properly positioned arrays. We conclude that entire genomes use a simple set of rules and proteins, without transcription, to build a common chromatin architecture. In this study, nucleosomes were assembled using Salt Gradient Dialysis (SGD) on yeast genomic DNA library. Assembled nucleosomes were either left untreated (labelled as "SGD", control), treated with whole cell extract (WCE), mutant extracts (rsc3ts WCE, isw1 isw2 chd1 WCE), purified remodelers; singly or in combinations (RSC, ISW1a, ISW1b, ISW2, INO80, CHD1, SWI/SNF), combinations of mutant extracts and chromatin remodelers or combination of General Regulatory Factors (Abf1, Reb1) and chromatin remodelers. The resulting nucleosome positions were mapped genome-wide using MNase-(anti-H3-ChIP)-Seq.
