Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinases 12 and 13 (CDK12 and CDK13) play critical roles in the regulation of gene transcription. However, the absence of CDK12 and CDK13 inhibitors has hindered the ability to investigate the consequences of their inhibition in healthy cells and cancer cells. Here we describe the rational design of a first-in-class CDK12 and CDK13 covalent inhibitor, THZ531. Co-crystallization of THZ531 with CDK12–cyclin K indicates that THZ531 irreversibly targets a cysteine located outside the kinase domain. THZ531 causes a loss of gene expression with concurrent loss of elongating and hyperphosphorylated RNA polymerase II. In particular, THZ531 substantially decreases the expression of DNA damage response genes and key super-enhancer-associated transcription factor genes. Coincident with transcriptional perturbation, THZ531 dramatically induced apoptotic cell death. Small molecules capable of specifically targeting CDK12 and CDK13 may thus help identify cancer subtypes that are particularly dependent on their kinase activities.

Project description:Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive type of thyroid cancer, with no effective treatment available. Identification of new anti-ATC drugs represents an urgent need. In this study, we find that ATC cells are highly sensitive to THZ531, a potent inhibitor of the transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), CDK12. Cell-based assays demonstrate that CDK12 inhibition significantly impedes cell cycle progression, induces apoptotic cell death, and impairs colony formation in ATC cells. THZ531 causes a loss of elongating RNA polymerase II and suppresses gene expression in ATC cells. An integrative analysis of gene expression profiles and super-enhancer landscape, combining with functional assays, leads to the discovery of two new ATC cancer genes, ZC3H4 and NEMP1. Furthermore, CDK12 inhibition enhances the sensitivity of ATC cells to doxorubicin-mediated chemotherapy. Thus, these findings indicate that CDK12 is a potential therapeutic target for ATC treatment and its inhibition may help to overcome the chemoresistance in patients with ATC

Project description:We performed PRO-Seq to measure the Pol II elongation rate by measruing the distance of Pol II travels at viarous time points after relased from DRB induced pausing. We compared DMSO/DRB or THZ531/DRB co-treated sample to assess the effect of CDK12 and CDK13 inhibtion by THZ531 on transcriptional elongation rate.

Project description:The cyclin-dependent kinase CDK12 promotes transcription completion of long genes by suppressing the utilization of intronic polyadenylation sites that cause premature transcriptional termination. One class of genes that are particularly affected by loss of CDK12 activity are DNA damage response genes and therefore inhibitors of CDK12 have garnered interest as cancer therapeutic amplifiers. In this study, we used the CDK12/13 inhibitor THZ531 to treat HF1 (normal human fibroblasts), K562 and HeLa cells and the adenine analog 1-NM-PP1 to treat analog-sensitive HeLa cells and to assess the acute effects on transcription and RNA processing using Bru-seq and BruChase-seq. While acute transcriptional changes were small and limited to the 3’-ends of genes, RNA turnover was dramatically affected by CDK12 inhibition. Importantly, the downregulation of DNA damage response genes was predominantly due to increased mRNA turnover. Co-transcriptional splicing was suppressed by CDK12 inhibition. Finally, many introns that showed premature transcriptional termination were found to be resistant to degradation following CDK12 inhibition despite showing efficient splicing. We speculate that premature termination and addition of poly(A)s protect these spliced intronic fragments from degradation. These studies reveal previously unknown roles of CDK12 in regulating RNA turnover and co-transcriptional splicing.

Project description:We describe the epigenetic profiling of the H3K9me2 and HP1a in Drosophila third instar larvae before and after CDK12 depletion by RNA interference (RNAi). Here we show that CDK12 regulates heterochromatin dynamics in Drosophila chromosomes. Depletion of CDK12 induces the increased HP1a and H3K9me2 binding profile on the coding region of euchromatic genes, with the X chromosome being the most affected. These results are consistent with the polytene chromosome immunostaining pattern of HP1a and H3K9me2 after CDK12 knockdown in our initial cytological observations, which show that CDK12 depletion induce heterochromatin spreading on euchromatic arms, especially on the X chromosome. This study describes a novel role of the CDK12 complex in controlling the epigenetic transition between euchromatin and heterochromatin. Examination of the genome-wide H3K9me2 and HP1a binding profile in wildtype larvae (WT) and CDK12-depleted larvae (CDK12-KD). Examination of the genome-wide CDK12 binding profile in wildtype larvae (WT). Twelve independent immunoprecipitations were conducted for each antibody. Two biological replicates were performed.
