CDK9 and PP2A regulate RNA polymerase II transcription termination and coupled RNA maturation

ABSTRACT: CDK9 is a kinase critical 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, 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. We also confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as a target of CDK9 and show that SF3B1 in complex with polyadenylation factors is lost from chromatin after CDK9 inhibition. These results emphasize the important roles that CDK9 plays in coupling transcription elongation and termination to RNA maturation downstream of the EEC.

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.

Identification of CDK9 targets using DRB and quantitative phosphoproteomics

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II) in higher eukaryotes. Phosphorylation of targets including the elongation factor SPT5 and the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA pol II allow the polymerase to pass an early elongation checkpoint (EEC), which is encountered soon after initiation. In addition to halting RNA polymerase II at the EEC, CDK9 inhibition also 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, suggesting that CDK9 and PP2A, working together, regulate the coupling of elongation and transcription termination to RNA maturation. Our phosphoproteomic analyses, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. CDK9 inhibition causes loss of interaction of splicing and export factors with SF3B1, suggesting that CDK9 also helps to co-ordinates coupling of splicing and export to transcription.

A Cdk9-PP1 switch regulates the elongation-termination transition of RNA polymerase II

Project description:The end of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription cycle is strictly regulated to ensure proper mRNA maturation and prevent interference between neighboring genes. Pol II slowing downstream of the cleavage and polyadenylation signal (CPS) leads to recruitment of cleavage and polyadenylation factors and termination, but how this chain of events is initiated remains unclear. In a chemical-genetic screen we identified protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) isoforms as substrates of human positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), the cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9)-cyclin T1 complex. Here we show that Cdk9 and PP1 govern phosphorylation of the conserved transcription factor Spt5 in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Cdk9 phosphorylates both Spt5 and a negative regulatory site on the PP1 isoform Dis2. Sites phosphorylated by Cdk9 in the Spt5 carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) are dephosphorylated by Dis2 in vitro, and Cdk9 inhibition in vivo leads to rapid Spt5 dephosphorylation that is retarded by concurrent Dis2 inactivation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis indicates that Spt5 is dephosphorylated as transcription complexes traverse the CPS, prior to or concomitant with Pol II pausing. A Dis2-inactivating mutation stabilizes Spt5 phosphorylation (pSpt5) on chromatin, promotes transcription beyond the normal termination zone detected by precision run-on transcription and sequencing (PRO-seq), and is suppressed by ablation of Cdk9 target sites in Spt5. These results support a model whereby the transition of Pol II from elongation to termination is regulated by opposing activities of Cdk9 and Dis2 towards their common substrate Spt5—a bistable switch analogous to a Cdk1-PP1 module that controls exit from mitosis.

The PNUTS-protein phosphatase 1 complex acts as an intrinsic barrier to KSHV replication [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Control of RNA Polymerase II (pol II) elongation is a critical component of gene expression in mammalian cells. The PNUTS-protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complex controls elongation rates, slowing pol II after polyadenylation sites to promote termination. The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) co-opts pol II to express its genes, but little is known about its regulation of pol II elongation. We identified PNUTS as a suppressor of a KSHV reporter gene in a genome-wide CRISPR screen. PNUTS depletion also enhances global KSHV gene expression and overall viral replication. Reflecting its host gene activities, PNUTS binds viral RNAs downstream of polyadenylation sites, restricts transcription readthrough of viral genes, and requires PP1 interaction. Surprisingly, PNUTS represses the KSHV reporter by decreasing productive elongation at the 5´-end of the gene. From these data, we conclude that PNUTS' activity forms an intrinsic barrier to KSHV replication likely by suppressing pol II elongation at promoter-proximal regions.

RNA polymerase II termination involves CTD tyrosine dephosphorylation by CPF subunit Glc7

Project description:At the 3'-ends of genes, RNA polymerase (Pol) II is dephosphorylated at tyrosine 1 residues of its C-terminal domain (CTD), resulting in recruitment of transcription termination factors. We show that the multisubunit cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) is a Pol II CTD phosphatase and its Glc7 subunit is required for Tyr1 dephosphorylation at the poly-adenylation site and Pol II termination in vivo. ChIP-chip was performed to examine the effect of Glc7 nuclear depletion on genome-wide Pol II occupancy [using ?-Rpb3 (1Y26, cat. no. W0012, neoclone) antibody] and CTD tyrosine 1 phosphorylation levels [using ?-TyrY1P (3D12, D. Eick) antibody].

Distinct Cdk9-phosphatase switches act on elongation factor Spt5 at the beginning and end of the RNA polymerase II transcription cycle

Project description:The Pol II transcription cycle is ordered by CDKs and phosphatases. In fission yeast, Cdk9 phosphorylates carboxy-terminal repeats (CTRs) of Spt5 while inhibiting PP1 during elongation. Transcription past the cleavage and polyadenylation signal (CPS) coincides with PP1-dependent Spt5 dephosphorylation and leads to Pol II pausing with phosphorylated CTD-Ser2 (pSer2). Here we show this switch is conserved in humans: Cdk9 inhibition decreases phosphorylation of both PP1g and Spt5-Thr806 (pThr806), and induces pSer2 upstream of the CPS, whereas PP1 depletion increases pThr806. Moreover, in unperturbed cells, pThr806 is diminished in 3’-paused complexes where pSer2 is maximal. Cdk9 also phosphorylates Spt5 on Ser666, a PP1-refractory site between conserved KOW4 and KOW5 motifs; pSer666 increases upon promoter-proximal pause release and, in contrast to pThr806, persists beyond the CPS. We identify PP4—another target of inhibitory phosphorylation by Cdk9—as a pSer666 phosphatase. PP4 and PP1g are enriched at 5’ and 3’ ends of genes, respectively, consistent with pSer666 and pThr806 distributions. Therefore, distinct Cdk9-phosphatase switches operate on Spt5 at different steps in transcription.

Elongation/termination factor exchange mediated by PP1 phosphatase orchestrates trancription termination

Project description:Termination of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is a key step, that is important for 3’end formation of functional mRNA, mRNA release and Pol II recycling. Even so, this underlying termination mechanism is not yet understood. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved and essential termination factor Seb1 interacts with Pol II near the end of the RNA exit channel and the Rpb4/7 stalk. Furthermore, the Seb1 interaction surface with Pol II largely overlaps with that of the elongation factor Spt5. Notably, Seb1 co-transcriptional recruitment is dependent on Spt5 de-phosphorylation by the conserved PP1 phosphatase Dis2, which also de-phosphorylates threonine 4 within the Pol II heptad repeated C-terminal domain. We propose that Dis2 orchestrates the transition from elongation to termination phase during the transcription cycle by mediating elongation to termination factor exchange and de-phosphorylation of Pol II C-terminal domain.
