Co-transcriptional splicing regulates 3' end cleavage during mammalian erythropoiesis

ABSTRACT: Pre-mRNA processing steps are tightly coordinated with transcription in many organisms. To determine how co-transcriptional splicing is integrated with transcription elongation and 3' end formation in mammalian cells, we performed long read sequencing of individual nascent RNAs and PRO-seq during mouse erythropoiesis. Splicing was not accompanied by transcriptional pausing and was detected when RNA polymerase II (Pol II) was within 75-300 nucleotides of 3' splice sites (3'SSs), often during transcription of the downstream exon. Interestingly, several hundred introns displayed abundant splicing intermediates, suggesting that splicing delays take place between the two catalytic steps. We also observed gene-specific differences in co-transcriptional splicing efficiency, and intron retention correlated with inefficient 3' end cleavage. Remarkably, a thalassemia patient-derived mutation introducing a cryptic 3'SS improves both splicing and 3' end cleavage of individual beta-globin transcripts, revealing that functional coupling between the two co-transcriptional processes is a determinant of productive gene output.

Knockdown of CFIm25 or CFIm68 decreases RNA polymerase II pausing and transcription

Project description:Transcription of eukaryotic protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II) is highly regulated at initiation, elongation and termination and these steps are coordinated with co-transcriptional processing of the emerging pre-mRNA by capping, splicing, and cleavage and polyadenylation. Polyadenylation (Poly(A)) site recognition, which defines the end of the mRNA, relies on the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex. It was previously observed that knocking-down proteins of the CPA complex affects not only recognition of the poly(A) site but also results in increased pausing of pol II at the beginning of genes. This finding suggests that the CPA complex plays a role in regulating pol II turnover after transcription initiation. To explore this possibility, we knocked-down two subunits of the cleavage factor I (CFIm), CFIm25 and CFIm68, which are part of the CPA complex and involved in alternative polyadenylation, and performed pol II ChIP-seq. Surprisingly, we found that contrary to the effect of knocking down of other CPA factors, reduction of the level of CFIm25 or CFIm68 decreases pol II pausing and transcription genome-wide in HEK293 cells. These findings indicate that different subunits of the CPA complex have opposite effects on pol II pausing at the start of genes.

Widespread transcriptional readthrough caused by Nab2 depletion leads to chimeric transcripts with retained introns

Project description:Nascent RNA sequencing has recently revealed that pre-mRNA splicing can occur shortly after the intron emerges from RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Differences in co-transcriptional splicing profiles suggest regulation by cis- and/or trans-acting factors. Here we used Single Molecule Intron Tracking (SMIT) in budding yeast to identify a cohort of regulators by machine learning. One candidate, Nab2, displayed reduced co-transcriptional splicing of some pre-mRNAs when depleted. Unexpectedly, these splicing defects were attributable to readthrough transcription, which was revealed by long read sequencing of nascent RNA; individual readthrough transcripts induced by Nab2 depletion sometimes spanned multiple genes. Thus, Nab2 regulation of splicing was indirect. Moreover, unspliced transcripts displayed downstream readthrough in both control and Nab2-depleted cells, highlighting the coupling between splicing and 3′ end formation. We conclude that Nab2 is required for proper 3′ end processing, which ensures both transcription termination as well as proper splicing of downstream genes.

Temporal iCLIP captures co-transcriptional RNA-protein interactions

Project description:Dynamic RNA-protein interactions govern the co-transcriptional packaging of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-derived transcripts. Yet, our current understanding of this process in vivo primarily stems from steady state analysis. To remedy this, we here conduct temporal-iCLIP (tiCLIP), combining RNAPII transcriptional synchronisation with UV cross-linking of RNA-protein complexes at serial timepoints. We apply tiCLIP to the RNA export adaptor, ALYREF; a component of the Nuclear Exosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, RBM7; and the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). Regardless of function, all tested factors interact with nascent RNA as it exits RNAPII. Moreover, we demonstrate that the two transesterification steps of pre-mRNA splicing temporally separate ALYREF and RBM7 binding to splicing intermediates, and that exon-exon junction density drives RNA 5’end binding of ALYREF. Finally, we identify underappreciated steps in snoRNA 3’end processing performed by RBM7. Altogether, our data provide an unprecedented temporal view of RNA-protein interactions during the early phases of transcription.

Native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq), nascnet RNA-seq, and total RNA-seq of wild type and RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain mutants and ChIP-nexus of RNA polymerase II C-terminal domains phosphoisoforms and splicing factors in S. cerevisiae

Project description:Transcription controls splicing and other gene regulatory processes, yet mechanisms remain obscure due to our fragmented knowledge of the molecular connections between the dynamically phosphorylated RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain (CTD) and regulatory factors. By systematically isolating phosphorylation states of the CTD heptapeptide repeat (Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7), we identify hundreds of protein factors that are differentially enriched, revealing unappreciated connections between the Pol II CTD and co-transcriptional processes. These data uncover a novel role for threonine-4 in 3’ end processing through controlling the transition between cleavage and termination. Furthermore, serine-5 phosphorylation seeds spliceosomal assembly immediately downstream of 3’ splice sites through a direct interaction with spliceosomal subcomplex, U1. Strikingly, threonine-4 phosphorylation also impacts splicing through serving as a mark of spliceosomal release and ensuring efficient post-transcriptional splicing genome-wide. Thus, comprehensive Pol II interactomes identify the complex and functional connections between transcription machinery and other gene regulatory complexes.

Coupling of co-transcriptional splicing and 3’ end Pol II pause during termination in Arabidopsis

Project description:In Arabidopsis, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) often pauses within a few hundred base pairs downstream of the polyadenylation site, reflecting efficient transcriptional termination, but how such pause is regulated remains largely elusive. Here, we studied Pol II dynamics at gene 3’ end by combining comprehensive experiments with mathematical modelling. We generated high-resolution Ser2P Pol II positioning data specifically enriched at gene 3’ end and defined a 3’ end pause index (3’PI). The position but not the extent of the 3’ end pause correlates with termination window size. The 3’PI is not decreased but even mildly increased in the termination deficient mutant xrn3, indicating 3’ end pause is a regulatory step early during the termination and before XRN3 mediated RNA decay that releases the Pol II. Unexpectedly, 3’PI is closely associated with gene exon numbers and co-transcriptional splicing efficiency. Multiple exons genes often display stronger 3’ end pauses and more efficient on-chromatin splicing than genes with few exons. Chemical inhibition of splicing strongly reduces the 3’PI and disrupts its correlation with exon numbers but does not globally impact 3’ end readthrough levels. These results were further confirmed by fitting Pol II positioning data with a mathematical model, which enables the estimation of parameters that define Pol II dynamics. Our work highlights that the number of exons via co-transcriptional splicing is a major determinant of Pol II pausing levels at gene 3’ end in plants.

Spliceosome specifically associates with CTD phospho-serine 5 isoform of RNA polymerase II to promote co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Co-transcriptional splicing of introns is a defining feature of eukaryotic gene expression. We show that the mammalian spliceosome specifically associates with the S5P CTD isoform of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) as it elongates across spliced exons of protein coding genes, both in human Hela and murine lymphoid cell lines. Immuno-precipitation of MNase digested chromatin with phospho CTD specific antibodies reveals that components of the active spliceosome (both snRNA and proteins) form a specific complex with S5P CTD Pol II. Furthermore a dominant splicing intermediate formed by cleavage at intron 5’ss results in the tethering of upstream exons to this complex at all spliced exons. These are invariably connected to upstream spliced constitutive and less frequently to alternative exons. Finally S5P CTD Pol II accumulates over spliced exons but not adjacent introns. We propose that mammalian splicing employs a rapid, co-transcriptional splicing mechanism based on CTD phosphorylation transitions.

POINT technology illuminates the processing of polymerase-associated intact nascent transcripts

Project description:Mammalian chromatin is the site of both RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription and coupled RNA processing. However, molecular details of such co-transcriptional mechanisms remain obscure, partly due to technical limitations in purifying authentic nascent transcripts. We present a new approach to purify and profile nascent RNA, called Polymerase Intact Nascent Transcript (POINT) technology. This three-pronged methodology maps nascent RNA 5’ends (POINT-5), establishes the kinetics of co-transcriptional splicing patterns (POINT-nano) and profiles whole transcription units (POINT-seq). In particular, we show by depletion of the nuclear exonuclease Xrn2 that this activity acts selectively on cleaved 5’P-RNA at polyadenylation sites. Furthermore, POINT-nano reveals that splicing occurs either immediately after splice site transcription or is delayed until Pol II transcribes downstream sequences. Finally, we connect RNA cleavage and splicing with either premature or full-length transcript termination. We anticipate that POINT technology will afford full dissection of the complexity of co-transcriptional RNA processing.

Elongation factor-specific capture of RNA polymerase II complexes

Project description:Transcription of protein-coding genes is regulated by dynamic association of co-factors with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The function of these factors and their relationship with RNAPII is often poorly understood. Here, we present an approach for elongation factor-specific mNET capture (EMCAP) of RNA polymerase II complexes for sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis, for investigating the function of such RNAPII regulatory proteins. As proof of principle, we apply EMCAP to the RNAPII-associated proteins SCAF4 and SCAF8, which share an essential role as mRNA anti-terminators but have individual roles at the 3’end of genes. Mass spectrometry analysis shows that both SCAF4 and SCAF8 are part of RNAPII elongation complexes containing 3’end processing factors but depleted of splicing components. Importantly, the EMCAP-seq profiles of SCAF4- and SCAF8-RNAPII complexes reflect their function as mRNA-anti-terminators and their competing functions at the end of genes where they prevent or promote transcriptional readthrough.
