SPT5 stabilizes promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II prior to release into gene bodies

ABSTRACT: The regulation of gene expression by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a multistep process requiring the concerted action of diverse transcription factors. Very little is known about in vivo function of transcription factor SPT5 as its deletion results in loss of viability. To circumvent this issue and define in vivo mechanism of action for SPT5, we employed acute degradation of SPT5 and studied its consequence on transcription. We find that SPT5 loss triggers degradation of the core Pol II subunit RPB1, a process which we show to be evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. This RPB1 degradation requires the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cullin 3, the unfoldase VCP/p97 and a novel form of CDK9 kinase complex. SPT5 specifically stabilizes Pol II at promoter proximal regions, permitting Pol II release from promoters to gene bodies. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the in vivo function of SPT5 in stabilization of promoter-proximal Pol II prior to release into gene bodies for safeguarding accurate gene expression.

Stabilization of Pol II protein, orchestration of transcription cycles, and maintenance of enhancer landscape by general transcription regulator SPT5 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transcription machinery progression is governed by multitasking regulators including SPT5, an evolutionarily conserved factor implicated in virtually all transcriptional steps from enhancer activation to termination. Yet its mechanistic understanding in human cells remains incomplete. Here we utilize rapid degradation system and reveal crucial function of SPT5 in maintaining cellular and chromatin Pol II levels. Rapid SPT5 depletion causes a pronounced reduction of paused Pol II at promoters and enhancers, distinct from NELF degradation resulting in short-distance paused Pol II redistribution. Most of genes exhibit down- but not upregulation, accompanied by greatly impaired transcription activation and altered chromatin landscape at enhancers, and severe Pol II processivity defects at gene bodies. Phosphorylation of KOWx-4/5- linker potentiates pause release and is antagonized by Integrator-PP2A (INTAC) targeting SPT5 and Pol II. Our findings position SPT5 as an essential positive regulator of global transcription by controlling cellular Pol II levels, enhancer activation and landscape, paused Pol II stability, elongation processivity and termination in human.

RPB1 ChIP-Seq of adrenal glands tissue from Wild Type (WT) and Armc5 knockout mice

Project description:RPB1-specific ubiquitin ligase (E3) controls the degradation of this largest subunit of Pol II and consequently the Pol II pool size. Although several RPB1-specific E3s have been documented, their function is only revealed in cells with massive DNA damage. We demonstrated that ARMC5 physically interacted with cullin3 (CUL3) and RPB1. ARMC5 is an armadillo domain-containing protein with unknown mechanisms of action. ARMC5 deletion caused significant RPB1 accumulation in all the major organs under a physiological condition in the absence of artificially induced DNA damage. This is accompanied by reduced RPB1 ubiquitination. In vitro ubiquitination assay proved that ARMC5, CUL3, and RBX1 formed an effective E3 for RPB1. RPB1 was confirmed as being highly accumulated in the adrenal gland nodules from PBMAH patients with mutations in the ARMC5 coding sequence. Surprisingly, the compromised RPB1 degradation did not lead to increased Pol II stalling according to ChIP-Seq, or a general decrease of gene transcription according to RNA-seq. On the contrary, among 1486 differentially expressed genes in the KO adrenal glands, 93.5% of them were upregulated, probably due to the enlarged Pol II pool size. Our results showed that the ARMC3-CUL3 E3 was the dominant E3 in normal cells and organs and controlled Pol II pool size. The abnormally large Pol II pool size due to ARMC5 mutation dysregulated a large number of genes that in turn led to many phenotypes, including PBMAH in humans.

PAF1, a molecular regulator of promoter-proximal pausing by RNA Polymerase II

Project description:The control of promoter-proximal pausing and the release of RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) is a widely used mechanism for regulating gene expression in metazoans, especially for genes that respond to environmental and developmental cues. Here, we identify Pol II associated Factor 1 (PAF1) as a major regulator of promoter-proximal pausing. Knockdown of PAF1 leads to increased release of paused Pol II into gene bodies at thousands of genes. Genes with the highest levels of paused Pol II exhibit the largest redistribution of Pol II from the promoter-proximal region into the gene body in the absence of PAF1. PAF1 depletion results in increased nascent transcription and increased levels of phosphorylation of Pol II’s c-terminal domain on serine 2 (Ser2P). These changes can be explained by the recruitment of the Ser2P kinase Super Elongation Complex (SEC) effecting increased release of paused Pol II into productive elongation, thus establishing a novel function for PAF1 as a major regulator of pausing in metazoans.

Paf1C regulates RNA polymerase II progression by modulating elongation rate

Project description:Elongation factor Paf1C regulates several stages of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription cycle, although it is unclear how it modulates Pol II distribution and progression in mammalian cells. We found that conditional ablation of Paf1 resulted in the accumulation of unphosphorylated and Ser5 phosphorylated Pol II around promoter proximal regions and within the first 20-30 kb of gene bodies, respectively. Paf1 ablation did not impact the recruitment of other key elongation factors, namely, Spt5, Spt6, and the FACT complex, suggesting that Paf1 function may be mechanistically distinguishable from each of these factors. Moreover, loss of Paf1 triggered an increase in TSS-proximal nucleosome occupancy, which could impose a considerable barrier to Pol II elongation past TSS-proximal regions. Remarkably, accumulation of Ser5P in the first 20-30 kb coincided with reductions in histone H2B ubiquitylation within this region. Furthermore, we show that nascent RNA species accumulate within this window, suggesting a mechanism whereby Paf1 loss leads to aberrant, prematurely terminated transcripts and diminution of full-length transcripts. Importantly, we found that loss of Paf1 results in Pol II elongation rate defects with significant rate compression. Our findings suggest that Paf1C is critical for modulating Pol II elongation rates by functioning beyond the pause-release step as an "accelerator" over specific early gene body regions.
