Integrator is a genome-wide attenuator of non-productive transcription

ABSTRACT: Termination of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription in metazoans relies largely on the Cleavage and Polyadenylation (CPA) and Integrator (INT) complexes originally found to act at the ends of protein-coding and snRNA genes, respectively. Here we monitor CPA- and INT-dependent termination activities genome-wide, including at thousands of previously unannotated transcription units (TUs), producing unstable RNA. We verify the global activity of CPA, occurring at pA sites indiscriminately of their positioning relative to the TU promoter. We also identify a global activity of INT, which is, however, largely sequence-independent and restricted to a ~3 kb promoter-proximal region. Our analyses suggest two functions of genome-wide INT activity; it dampens transcriptional output from weak promoters and it provides quality-control of RNAPII complexes that are unfavorably configured for transcriptional elongation. We suggest that the function of INT in stable snRNA production is an exception from its general cellular role, the attenuation of non-productive transcription.

ARS2 instructs early transcription termination-coupled RNA decay by recruiting ZC3H4 to nascent transcripts [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The RNA-binding ARS2 protein is centrally involved in both early RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription termination and transcript decay. Despite its essential nature, the mechanisms by which ARS2 enacts these functions have remained unclear. Here, we show that a conserved basic domain of ARS2 binds a corresponding acidic-rich, short linear motif in the transcription restriction factor ZC3H4. This interaction recruits ZC3H4 to chromatin to elicit Pol II termination, independent of other early termination pathways defined by the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) and Integrator (INT) complexes. ZC3H4, in turn, directly connects to the ZCCHC8 component of the nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex, hereby facilitating rapid degradation of the nascent RNA. Hence, ARS2 instructs the coupled transcription termination and degradation of the transcript onto which it is bound. This contrasts with ARS2 function at CPA-instructed termination sites where the protein exclusively partakes in RNA suppression via post-transcriptional decay.

A combinatorial approach to uncover a novel Integrator subunit

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) controls the expression of all protein coding genes and most noncoding loci in higher eukaryotes. The ultimate rate of transcription is regulated at the level of multiple checkpoints during the transcription cycle (initiation, pausing, termination). Calibrating the activity of RNAPII is fundamental to all cellular processes and requires an assortment of polymerase-associated factors that are recruited at sites of active transcription. The Integrator complex is one of the most elusive transcriptional regulators in metazoans, deemed to be recruited after initiation to help establish and modulate paused RNAPII. Recent structural, biochemical, and functional evidence suggest that Integrator is composed of 14 subunits that assemble and operate in a modular fashion. We employed proteomics and machine-learning structure prediction (AlphaFold2) approaches to identify a novel Integrator subunit, INTS15. We report that INTS15 assembles primarily with the INTS13/INTS14/INTS10 module and interfaces with the core of the Int-PP2A complex. Functional genomics analysis further reveals a role for INTS15 in modulating RNAPII pausing at a subset of genes in human cell lines. Our study shows that omics approaches combined with AlphaFold2-based predictions provide novel insights into the molecular architecture of large and flexible multiprotein complexes.

Integrator enforces the fidelity of transcriptional termination at protein-coding genes

Project description:Integrator regulates the 3’-end processing and termination of multiple classes of noncoding RNAs. Depletion of INTS11, the catalytic subunit of Integrator, or ectopic expression of its catalytic dead enzyme impairs the 3’-end processing and termination of a set of protein coding transcripts termed Integrator-regulated termination (IRT) genes. This defect is manifested by increased RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) readthrough and occupancy of serine-2 phosphorylated RNAPII, de-novo trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3, and a compensatory elevation of the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex in the downstream regions. 3’-RNA-sequnecing reveals that proximal polyadenylation site usage relies on the endonuclease activity of INTS11. The DNA sequence encompassing the transcription end sites of IRT genes feature downstream polyadenylation motifs and an enrichment of GC content that permits the formation of secondary structures within the 3’UTR. Taken together, this study identifies a subset of protein-coding transcripts whose 3’-end processing requires the Integrator complex.

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Spurious Transcription by Controlling Genome-Wide Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) termination for transcripts containing a polyadenylation signal (PAS) is thought to differ mechanistically from termination for PAS-independent RNAPII transcripts such as sn(o)RNAs. In a screen for factors required for PAS-dependent termination, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase known primarily for its role in PAS-independent termination. We show that Sen1 is required for termination on hundreds of protein-coding genes and suppresses cryptic transcription from nucleosome-free regions on a genomic scale. These effects often overlap with but are also often distinct from those caused by Nrd1 depletion, which also impacts termination of protein-coding and cryptic transcripts, including many genic antisense transcripts. Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and stimulates recruitment of factors previously implicated in both PAS-dependent (Rna14, Rat1) and PAS-independent (Nrd1) termination. Thus, RNAPII termination for both protein-coding genes and cryptic transcripts is dependent on multiple pathways. The 2 RNAPII datasets were produced in duplicates and the Sen1 and Nrd1 datasets in triplicates (all IP/Input).

Integrator endonuclease drives promoter-proximal termination at all RNAPII transcribed loci (ChIP-Seq 2)

Project description:Pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in early elongation is critical for gene regulation. Paused RNAPII can be released into productive elongation by the kinase P-TEFb or targeted for premature termination by the Integrator complex. Integrator comprises endonuclease and phosphatase activities, driving termination through cleavage of nascent RNA and removal of stimulatory phosphorylation. To probe the direct consequences of Integrator activity, we generated a degron system to rapidly deplete the Integrator endonuclease INTS11. Degradation of INTS11 elicits a nearly universal increase in RNAPII escape from promoter regions. However, these RNAPII complexes fail to achieve optimal elongation rates and reveal continued Integrator phosphatase activity. Short transcripts are thus selectively upregulated by INTS11 loss, including many non-coding RNAs, transcription factors and signaling regulators. Together, our data indicate a common function for INTS11 at all RNAPII loci, with differential effects on particular genes, pathways or RNA biotypes reflecting transcript lengths rather than Integrator specificity.
