Dynamics of transcription elongation are finely-tuned by dozens of regulatory factors

ABSTRACT: Understanding the complex network and dynamics that regulate transcription elongation requires quantitative analysis of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) behavior in a wide variety of regulatory environments. We performed native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) in 42 strains of S. cerevisiae, each missing a known elongation regulator including RNA processing factors, transcription elongation factors, histone variants, chromatin modifiers, and chromatin remodelers and chaperones. For each strain, we determined differentially expressed genes, measured levels of antisense transcription, examined sites of high polymerase density, and identified single-nucleotide loci of Pol II pausing. For each elongation phenotype, we found that wild-type Pol II activity sits in the middle of the dynamic range, indicating that elongation is balanced by the opposing effects of many factors. We find that Pol II elongation at sites of RNA processing is co-transcriptionally controlled by key regulators. Furthermore, Pol II pauses frequently across gene bodies at locations that vary across deletion strains. Meta-analysis of all datasets finds that commonly differentially-expressed genes across the deletion strains exhibit more extreme antisense transcription and polymerase pausing, revealing a link between elongation activity and gene regulation. Thus, regulation of transcription elongation impacts co-transcriptional processing and overall gene expression through precisely balancing Pol II activity by a diverse array of factors.

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.

Stably-paused genes revealed through inhibition of transcription initiation by the TFIIH inhibitor Triptolide

Project description:Transcription by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) in metazoan is regulated in several steps, including preinitiation complex (PIC) formation, initiation, Pol II escape, productive elongation, cotranscriptional RNA-processing and termination. Genome-wide studies have demonstrated that the phenomenon of promoter-bound Pol II pausing is widespread, especially for genes involved in developmental and stimulus-responsive pathways. However, a mechanistic understanding of the paused Pol II states at promoters is limited. For example, at a global level, it’s unclear to what extent the engaged paused Pol II is stably tethered to the promoter or undergoes rapid cycles of initiation and termination. Here we used the small molecule Triptolide (TPL), an XPB/TFIIH inhibitor, to block transcriptional initiation followed by measuring Pol II occupancy by ChIP-seq. This inhibition of initiation enables us to investigate different states of paused Pol II. Specifically, our global analysis reveals that most genes with paused Pol II, as defined by pausing index, show significant clearance of Pol II during the period of TPL treatment. Our study further identifies a group of genes with unexpectedly stably-paused Pol II, with unchanged Pol II occupancy even after one hour of inhibition of initiation. This group of genes constitutes a small portion of all paused genes defined by the conventional criterion of pausing index. These findings could pave the way for evaluating the contribution of different elongation/pausing factors on different states of Pol II pausing in developmental and other stimulus-responsive pathways.

The histone deacetylase SIRT6 controls transcription elongation via promoter-proximal pausing (PRO-Seq)

Project description:Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes commonly occurs at promoter-proximal regions wherein transcriptionally engaged RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pauses before proceeding towards productive elongation. The roles of chromatin in this process remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the histone deacetylase SIRT6 regulates transcription elongation by binding to Pol II and anchoring the Negative ELongation Factor NELF, thereby preventing the release of Pol II towards elongation. Absence of SIRT6, or conditions of glucose deprivation, lead to increased levels of acetylated histone H3 at lysines 9 (H3K9ac) and 56 (H3K56ac), activation of the CDK9 kinase, phosphorylation of NELF and Pol II, and recruitment of the transcription factors MYC and BRD4, the PAF1 Complex, as well as several positive elongation factors, in turn releasing Pol II into productive elongation. Collectively, we identified SIRT6 as the first pausing-dedicated histone deacetylase, regulating intragenic H3K9ac and H3K56ac as critical chromatin modifications modulating transcriptional pausing and elongation.

Coordination of RNA Polymerase II Pausing and 3’ end processing factor recruitment with alternative polyadenylation

Project description:Sites of RNA polymerase II (pol II) pausing and processing factor recruitment change depending on which alternative poly(A) site is utilized at the IgM locus. In contrast, the extent of pol II CTD Ser2 phosphorylation did not closely correlate with poly(A) site selection. We conclude that changes in properties of the transcription elongation complex closely correlate with utilization of different poly(A) sites.

Native Elongating Transcript Sequencing Reveals Human Transcriptional Activity at Nucleotide Resolution

Project description:Major features of transcription by human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) remain poorly defined due to a lack of quantitative approaches for visualizing Pol II progress at nucleotide resolution. We developed a simple and powerful approach for performing native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) in human cells that globally maps strand-specific Pol II density at nucleotide resolution. NET-seq exposes a mode of antisense transcription that originates downstream and converges on transcription from the canonical promoter. Convergent transcription is associated with a distinctive chromatin configuration and is characteristic of lower-expressed genes. Integration of NET-seq with genomic footprinting data reveals stereotypic Pol II pausing coincident with transcription factor occupancy. Finally, exons retained in mature transcripts display Pol II pausing signatures that differ markedly from skipped exons, indicating an intrinsic capacity for Pol II to recognize exons with different processing fates.

Characterization of the SF3B1 interactome

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). As part of P-TEFb, CDK9 phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of pol II and elongation factors, including SPT5, which allows pol II to elongate past the early elongation checkpoint (EEC) encountered soon after initiation. We show that, in addition to halting pol II at the EEC, loss of CDK9 activity causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, indicating that this kinase/phosphatase pair regulates transcription elongation and RNA processing at the end of protein-coding genes. Our phosphoproteomic analyses after CDK9 inhibition, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line, confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. These results emphasize the important roles that CDK9 plays in coupling transcription elongation and termination to RNA maturation downstream of the EEC. As part of this project, we characterized the interactome of SF3B1 in HeLa cells in duplicate.

ChIP of eif4AIII_HA and Y14_HA with Ctrl_HA [Promoter-proximal pausing mediated by the exon junction complex regulates splicing]

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a widespread transcriptional regulatory step across metazoans. Here we find that the nuclear exon junction complex (pre-EJC) is a critical and conserved regulator of this process. Depletion of pre-EJC subunits leads to a global decrease in Pol II pausing and to premature entry into elongation. This effect occurs, at least in part, via non-canonical recruitment of pre-EJC components at promoters. Failure to recruit the pre-EJC at promoters results in increased binding of the positive transcription elongation complex (P-TEFb) and in enhanced Pol II release. Notably, restoring pausing is sufficient to rescue exon skipping and the photoreceptor differentiation defect associated with depletion of pre-EJC components in vivo. We propose that the pre-EJC serves as an early transcriptional checkpoint to prevent premature entry into elongation, ensuring proper recruitment of RNA processing components that are necessary for exon definition.
