Two super-enhancers regulate Nanog expression through distinct mechanisms [45del]

ABSTRACT: Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression which are historically defined using plasmid-based approaches. Recent work has emphasized that enhancers operate by alleviating promoter-proximal pause release, implying that a single enhancer operates on a gene at any given moment. By contrast, our previous work postulated that two super-enhancers (SEs) may simultaneously operate on a single gene. To address this discrepancy we employed genomic editing, single cell analyses, and genome-wide approaches to assess how two SEs regulate Nanog expression in embryonic stem cells. We first demonstrate both distance and orientation independence in native chromatin, eliminating the issues raised with plasmid-based approaches. We also demonstrate that two SEs simultaneously operate on Nanog by regulating different phases of transcription, with one SE operating by recruiting and/or initiating RNA Polymerase II, and the second promoting transcriptional elongation after promoter-proximal pause release. These findings imply SEs can use different mechanisms to regulate expression.

Defining a critical Nanog enhancer using chromatin-focused approaches identifies RNAPII recruitment as required for expression [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Transcriptional enhancers have been defined by their ability to operate independent of distance and orientation in plasmid reporter assays, rather than within native chromatin. We employed a combination of approaches to investigate the Nanog locus in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and an associated cis regulatory element (CRE) which may operate as a super-enhancer (SE) or alternative promoter. We establish the element is a SE within chromatin using distance- and orientation-independence as criteria. We next demonstrate this SE regulates Nanog by recruiting and/or initiating RNA Polymerase II. Our work highlights that enhancers likely operate through a diverse set of mechanisms.

Brd4 and JMJD6-associated Anti-pause Enhancers in Regulation of Transcriptional Pause Release

Project description:Distal enhancers characterized by H3K4me1 mark play critical roles in developmental and transcriptional programs. However, potential roles of specific distal regulatory elements in regulating RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pause release remain poorly investigated. Here we report that a unique cohort of jumonji C domain-containing protein 6 (JMJD6) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (Brd4) co-bound distal enhancers, termed anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs), regulate promoter-proximal pause release of a large subset of transcription units via long-range interactions. Brd4-dependent JMJD6 recruitment on A-PEs mediates erasure of H4R3me2(s), which is directly read by 7SK snRNA, and decapping/demethylation of 7SK snRNA, ensuring the dismissal of the 7SKsnRNA/HEXIM inhibitory complex. The interactions of both JMJD6 and Brd4 with the P-TEFb complex permit its activation and pause release of regulated coding genes. The functions of JMJD6/ Brd4-associated dual histone and RNA demethylase activity on anti-pause enhancers have intriguing implications for these proteins in development, homeostasis and disease. All Gro-seq(s) were designed to reveal the transcriptional targets of JMJD6 and Brd4, and assess the role of JMJD6 and Brd4 in Pol II promoter-proximal pause release. All ChIP-seq(s) were designed to understand the unique features, associated molecular mechanisms and functions of the anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs) discovered in the current study.

Enhancers predominantly control transcription initiation [mNET-seq]

Project description:Gene transcription occurs via a cycle of linked events including initiation, promoter proximal pausing and elongation of RNA polymerase II (Pol 2). A key question is how do transcriptional enhancers influence these events to control gene expression? Here we have used a new approach to quantify transcriptional initiation and pausing in-vivo, while simultaneously identifying transcription start sites (TSSs) and pause-sites (TPSs). When analysed in parallel with nascent RNA-seq, these data show that differential gene expression is achieved predominantly via changes in transcription initiation rather than Pol 2 pausing or elongation. Using genetically engineered mouse models deleted for specific enhancers we show that these elements control gene expression via Pol 2 recruitment and/or initiation rather than via promoter proximal pause release. Using genome-wide analysis we show that enhancers, in general, control gene expression at the stage of Pol 2 recruitment and initiation rather than via pausing.
