The 3' Pol II pausing at replication-dependent histone genes is regulated by Mediator through Cajal bodies’ association with histone locus bodies

ABSTRACT: The non-polyadenylated mRNAs of replication-dependent histones (RDHs) and small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are synthesized by RNA polymerase II at histone locus bodies (HLBs) and Cajal bodies (CBs), respectively. We previously showed that MED26-containing Mediator regulates the 3'-end processing of non-polyadenylated transcripts by recruiting Little Elongation Complex (LEC) to the genes. HLBs frequently associate with CBs, in which 3'-end processing factors for RDH genes are enriched; however, this association’s role has not been elucidated. Here, we show that disruption of the Mediator docking site for LEC by mutating the MED26-binding site of EAF1, a subunit of LEC, interferes with CBs’ association with HLBs, resulting in decreased inter-chromosome interaction between RDH gene clusters and increased aberrant unprocessed RDH gene transcripts. Our findings suggest a model in which LEC recruitment by Mediator plays a role in CBs’ association with HLBs to facilitate the 3'-end processing of RDH genes by supplying 3'-end processing factors.

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.

Identification of Med26 target genes in Human HEK 293T cells

Project description:Med26 is a subunit of the Human Mediator complex. The Mediator complex is an evolutionarily conserved coregulatory complex that interacts with RNA polymerase II to regulate gene expression. In metazoa, Mediator is composed of some 30 distinct subunits. Mediator exists in multiple, functionally distinct forms that share a common core of subunits and can be distinguished by the presence or absence of a kinase module composed of Med12, Med13, Cdk8, and Cyclin C. In higher eukaryotes, a subset of Mediator complexes is associated with an additional subunit, Med26. This Med26-containing Mediator copurifies from cells with little or no kinase module, but near-stoichiometric Pol II. Evidence suggests that Med26-containing Mediator plays a key role in transcriptional activation however, the mechanism(s) by which Med26 contributes to this process are not known. To identify Med26 target genes, we used Affymetrix U133A plus 2.0 expression arrays to analyze mRNA expression in 293T cells from which Med26 had been depleted by transient transfection by each of three different siRNAs. Three different independent Med26 siRNA knockdowns were compared to a non-targeting control in triplicate, for a total of 12 samples.

CDK11 is required for transcription of replication-dependent histone genes

Project description:Replication-dependent histones (RDH) are required for packaging of newly synthetized DNA into nucleosomes during the S phase when their expression is highly upregulated. However, the mechanisms of this upregulation in metazoan cells remain poorly understood. Using iCLIP and ChIP–seq, we found that human cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11) associates with RNA and chromatin of RDH genes primarily in the S phase. Moreover, its amino-terminal region binds FLASH, RDH-specific 3′-end processing factor, which keeps the kinase on the chromatin. CDK11 phosphorylates serine 2 (Ser2) of the carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), which is initiated at the middle of RDH genes and is required for further RNAPII elongation and 3′-end processing. CDK11 depletion leads to decreased number of cells in S phase, likely owing to the function of CDK11 in RDH gene expression. Thus, the reliance of RDH expression on CDK11 could explain why CDK11 is essential for the growth of many cancers.

Long-range genomic contacts and spatiotemporal chromatin landscape of human histone gene clusters at Histone Locus Bodies during the cell cycle in breast cancer [cHiC]

Project description:Cell cycle controlled mechanistic remodeling of chromatin architecture at HLBs as non-membranous phase-separated nuclear domains represents a novel dimension to regulation of cell proliferation. Therefore, we sought to resolve a gap in our understanding of how 3D higher-order genomic organization supports the activation of multiple clustered histone genes. Our findings are consistent model that the HINFP/NPAT complex controls the formation and dynamic remodeling of higher-order genomic organization of histone gene clusters at HLBs in early to late G1 phase to support production of histone mRNAs in S phase. that the two principal histone gene regulators HINFP and NPAT are located at anchor-points for chromatin loops reflecting their obligatory functions in remodeling the spatiotemporal genomic organization at HLBs during the G1 phase to accommodate histone gene expression in S phase.

Cajal bodies are linked to genome conformation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The mechanisms underlying nuclear body (NB) formation and their contribution to genome function are unknown. We examined the non-random positioning of Cajal bodies (CBs), major NBs involved in spliceosomal snRNP assembly, and their role in genome organization. CBs are predominantly located at the periphery of chromosome territories at a multi-chromosome interface. Genome-wide chromatin conformation capture analysis (4C-seq) using CB-interacting loci revealed that CB-associated regions are enriched with highly expressed histone genes and U small nuclear and nucleoar RNA (sn/snoRNA) loci that form intra- and inter-chromosomal clusters. We observed a number of CB-dependent gene positioning events on chromosome 1. RNAi-mediated disassembly of CBs disrupts the CB-targeting gene clusters and suppresses the expression of U sn/snoRNA and histone genes. This loss of spliceosomal snRNP production resulted in increased splicing noise, even in CB-distal regions. We conclude that CBs contribute to genome organization with global effects on gene expression and RNA splicing fidelity.
