The negative elongation factor NELF promotes active transcription of Drosophila ecdysone-dependent genes

ABSTRACT: The current work describes molecular mechanism used by the Negative elongation complex (NELF) to control the Pol II pause at genes whose transcription is induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). According to our data NELF complex is recruited to the promoters and enhancers of 20E-dependent genes. Its presence at the regulatory sites of 20E-dependent genes correlates with the described interaction of its NELF-A subunit with EcR receptor. The NELF complex, consisting of at least three subunits, is formed at the 20E-dependent promoters and participates in their active transcription and maintenance of their repressed state. NELF depletion causes a significant decrease in transcription induced by 20E. We associate this effect with the disruption of Pol II elongation complexes formation. A considerable reduction in the promoter-bound level of Spt5 subunit of DSIF was observed at the 20E-dependent genes upon NELF depletion. We presume that participation in stabilization of the Pol II-DSIF complex can be an important function of NELF with a big impact on transcription of its target genes. Part of our study was to directly link NELF to regulation of 20E-dependent genes in development. We showed presence of NELF at the promoters of 20E-dependent genes during their active transcription both in embryogenesis and metamorphosis. We also demonstrate that 20E-dependent promoters remain in a Pol II paused state at the larva stage, where they are temporarily repressed.

Genome-wide map of RNA polymerase II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells

Project description:Most metazoan promoters have RNA polymerase II (Pol II) paused slightly downstream of the transcription start site by NELF and DSIF. This pausing keeps these promoters available for rapid induction by P-TEFb, whose activity causes NELF to dissociate and Pol II and DSIF to elongate on the gene. ChIP-Seq data was generated for Pol II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells and used to look at pausing downstream of unannotated promoters. 3x ChIP-Seq (Pol II, NELF, DSIF) in HeLa cells

Role of RNA polymerase II "pausing" in Drosophila development

Project description:According to previous studies, during Drosophila embryogenesis, RNA polymerase II is recruited to promoters at developmental stages preceding the stages of active transcription of genes. This work is aimed at exploring whether this mechanism is used during Drosophila metamorphosis. We performed ChIP-Seq analysis using antibodies to various modifications of RNA polymerase II (total, Pol II CTD Ser5P and Pol II CTD Ser2P), as well as to subunits of NELF, DSIF, PAF complexes and Brd4/Fs(1)h that control transcription elongation. We found that like in mid-embryogenesis during metamorphosis, promoters bind RNA polymerase II in the "paused" state preparing for activation at later stages of development. During mid-embryogenesis, RNA polymerase II in "pause" is phosphorylated at Ser5 and Ser2 of Rpb1 CTD and binds NELF, DSIF, and PAF complexes, but not Brd4/Fs(1)h. During metamorphosis, the "paused" RNA polymerase II complex includes Brd4/Fs(1)h in addition to NELF, DSIF, and PAF. The RNA polymerase II in this complex is phosphorylated at Ser5 at Rpb1 CTD, but not at Ser2.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.

TFIID enables RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing

Project description:RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcribes all protein-coding and many non-coding RNAs in the human genome. Pol II transcription initiation is governed by the Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), which contains TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, pol II, and Mediator. After initiation, pol II enzymes typically pause after transcribing less than 100 bases, and paused polymerases represent a common regulatory intermediate. Accordingly, paused pol II has been implicated in enhancer function, development and homeostasis, and diseases ranging from cancer to viral pathogenesis. Precisely how pol II promoter-proximal pausing is enforced and regulated remains unclear; however, protein complexes such as NELF and DSIF increase pausing whereas the activity of CDK9 (P-TEFb complex) correlates with pause release. To address specific mechanistic questions about pol II pausing and its regulation, we reconstituted human pol II promoter-proximal pausing in vitro, entirely with purified factors (no extracts). As expected, NELF and DSIF increased pol II pausing in vitro, whereas P-TEFb promoted pause release. Unexpectedly, the PIC alone was sufficient to reconstitute pol II pausing, suggesting that pausing is an inherent property of the PIC. In agreement, pol II pausing was lost upon replacement of the TFIID complex with TATA-binding protein (TBP); moreover, pausing was dependent upon TFIID subunits TAF1 and TAF2. TAF1/2 bind genomic DNA downstream of the pol II initiation site, invoking a “complex interaction” model for pausing. Consistent with this model, PRO-Seq experiments revealed increased transcription upon acute depletion (t=60 min) of TAF1 and TAF2 in human cells, and pol II pausing was disrupted at thousands of genes. Similar results were obtained in TAF1-depleted Drosophila S2 cells. Collectively, these data establish the general transcription factor TFIID as a genome-wide regulator of pol II promoter-proximal pausing.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause-release via PAF1C recruitment [RNA-seq]

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute protein-depletion approach, we report that SPT6 depletion results in release of paused RNA Pol II. Short genes demonstrate a prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Unexpectedly, the recruitment of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) to RNA Pol II fails upon SPT6 depletion, leading to the release of NELF-bound RNA Pol II into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause-release through PAF1C recruitment and NELF removal during the early elongation.

The role of Mediator and Little Elongation Complex in transcription termination

Project description:Mediator is a coregulatory complex involved in regulating the transcription of Pol II-dependent genes. Metazoan Mediator subunit MED26 functions as a docking site for the ELL/EAF-containing Super Elongation Complex (SEC) and L ittle Elongation Complex (LEC), which regulate the expression of distinct genes. MED26 helps to recruit SEC to protein-coding genes including c-Myc and LEC to small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes. However, why MED26 takes advantage of SEC or LEC to regulate different claases of genes is unclear. Here, we present evidence that MED26 recruits LEC to support optimal transcription termination at non-polyadenylated genes including snRNA and replication-dependent histone (RDH) genes. Our findings indicate that LEC recruited by MED26 promotes efficient transcription termination by Pol II through interaction with CBC-ARS2 and NELF/DSIF, and then LEC promotes 3’-end processing through the recruitment of Integrator or Heat labile factor to snRNA or RDH genes, respectively.

Postrecruitment Regulation of RNA Pol II Directs Rapid Signaling Responses at the Promoters of Estrogen Target Genes

Project description:Under current models for signal-dependent transcription in eukaryotes, DNA-binding activator proteins regulate the recruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to a set of target promoters. Yet, recent studies, as well as our results herein, show that Pol II is widely distributed (i.e., "preloaded") at the promoters of many genes prior to specific signaling events. How Pol II recruitment and Pol II preloading fit within a unified model of gene regulation is unclear. In addition, the mechanisms through which cellular signals activate preloaded Pol II across mammalian genomes remain largely unknown. Here we show that the predominant genomic outcome of estrogen signaling is the post-recruitment regulation of Pol II activity through phosphorylation, rather than recruitment of Pol II. Furthermore, we show that negative elongation factor (NELF) binds to estrogen target promoters in conjunction with preloaded Pol II and represses gene expression until the appropriate signal is received. Finally, our studies reveal that the estrogen-dependent activation of preloaded Pol II facilitates rapid transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses which play important physiological roles in regulating estrogen signaling itself. Our results reveal a broad use of post-recruitment Pol II regulation by the estrogen signaling pathway, a mode of regulation that is likely to apply to a wide variety of signal-regulated pathways.
