Coupling of co-transcriptional splicing and 3’ end Pol II pause during termination in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: In Arabidopsis, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) often pauses within a few hundred base pairs downstream of the polyadenylation site, reflecting efficient transcriptional termination, but how such pause is regulated remains largely elusive. Here, we studied Pol II dynamics at gene 3’ end by combining comprehensive experiments with mathematical modelling. We generated high-resolution Ser2P Pol II positioning data specifically enriched at gene 3’ end and defined a 3’ end pause index (3’PI). The position but not the extent of the 3’ end pause correlates with termination window size. The 3’PI is not decreased but even mildly increased in the termination deficient mutant xrn3, indicating 3’ end pause is a regulatory step early during the termination and before XRN3 mediated RNA decay that releases the Pol II. Unexpectedly, 3’PI is closely associated with gene exon numbers and co-transcriptional splicing efficiency. Multiple exons genes often display stronger 3’ end pauses and more efficient on-chromatin splicing than genes with few exons. Chemical inhibition of splicing strongly reduces the 3’PI and disrupts its correlation with exon numbers but does not globally impact 3’ end readthrough levels. These results were further confirmed by fitting Pol II positioning data with a mathematical model, which enables the estimation of parameters that define Pol II dynamics. Our work highlights that the number of exons via co-transcriptional splicing is a major determinant of Pol II pausing levels at gene 3’ end in plants.

Transcription profiling by array of a stably RNAi-silenced nuclear 5’-3’ exonuclease XRN3 mutant line in Arabidopsis thaliana after transcriptional inhibition with cordycepin

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana two nuclear 5'-3' exonucleases, XRN2 & 3, are involved in the degradation and processing of several classes of nuclear RNAs and in transcription termination of RNA polymerase II. The role of XRN3 in Pol II transcription termination is investigated by combining two different types of RNA-seq data for Col-0 background WT and xrn3-8 mutant A. thaliana seedlings. The data for the experiment comprises single molecule Direct RNA Sequencing of unamplified RNA (3x WT, 4x xrn3-8 mutant) and high-depth Illumina strand-specific short read sequencing of PCR amplified ribosomal-RNA depleted RNA (Illumina TruSeq stranded ribozero Plant kit, 3x WT, 3x xrm3-8 mutant). In the xrn3 mutant, these data reveal a widespread accumulation of non-coding intergenic transcripts (xrn3-associated transcripts - XATs) generated by Pol II read-through transcription that are usually polyadenylated and lack the 5' cap structure. This data highlights the important role of exoribonucleases in the torpedo mechanism of Pol II transcription termination and show that a global disturbance in this process significantly impacts both gene expression and transcriptome integrity.

RNA polymerase II pausing downstream of core histone genes is different from genes producing polyadenylated transcripts

Project description:Recent genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses performed in various eukaryotic organisms, analysed RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pausing around the transcription start sites of genes. In this study we have further investigated genome-wide binding of Pol II downstream of the 3' end of the annotated genes (EAGs) by ChIP-seq in human cells. At almost all expressed genes we observed Pol II occupancy downstream of the EAGs suggesting that Pol II pausing 3' from the transcription units is a rather common phenomenon. Downstream of EAGs Pol II transcripts can also be detected by global run-on and sequencing, suggesting the presence of functionally active Pol II. Based on Pol II occupancy downstream of EAGs we could distinguish distinct clusters of Pol II pause patterns. On core histone genes, coding for non-polyadenylated transcripts, Pol II occupancy is quickly dropping after the EAG. In contrast, on genes, whose transcripts undergo polyA tail addition [poly(A)+], Pol II occupancy downstream of the EAGs can be detected up to 4-6 kb. Inhibition of polyadenylation significantly increased Pol II occupancy downstream of EAGs at poly(A)+ genes, but not at the EAGs of core histone genes. The differential genome-wide Pol II occupancy profiles 3' of the EAGs have also been confirmed in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, indicating that Pol II pauses genome-wide downstream of the EAGs in mammalian cells. Moreover, in mES cells the sharp drop of Pol II signal at the EAG of core histone genes seems to be independent of the phosphorylation status of the C-terminal domain of the large subunit of Pol II. Thus, our study uncovers a potential link between different mRNA 3' end processing mechanisms and consequent Pol II transcription termination processes.

Global impact of RNA polymerase II elongation inhibition on alternative splicing regulation (expression)

Project description:The rate of RNA polymerase II (pol II) elongation can influence splice site selection in nascent transcripts, yet the extent and physiological relevance of this kinetic coupling between transcription and alternative splicing is not well understood. We performed experiments to perturb pol II elongation and then globally compared alternative splicing patterns with genome-wide pol II occupancy. RNA binding and RNA processing functions were significantly enriched among the genes with pol II elongation inhibition-dependent changes in alternative splicing. Under conditions that interfere with pol II elongation, including cell stress, increased pol II occupancy was detected in the intronic regions flanking the alternative exons in these genes, and these exons generally became more included. A disproportionately high fraction of these exons introduced premature termination codons that elicited nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), thereby further reducing transcript levels. Our results provide evidence that kinetic coupling between transcription, alternative splicing and NMD affords a rapid mechanism by which cells can respond to changes in growth conditions, including cell stress, to coordinate the levels of RNA processing factors with mRNA levels. In order to identify alternative splicing events influenced by changes in pol II elongation, we performed quantitative alternative splicing microarray profiling (Pan et al., 2004 (PMID 15610736); Shai et al., 2006 (PMID 16403798)) of RNA isolated from stimulated Jurkat T lymphoma cells, cultured separately in the presence or absence of two different drugs that can inhibit pol II elongation: 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole (DRB) and camptothecin.

Defective XRN3-mediated transcription termination in Arabidopsis affects the expression of protein-coding genes [seq]

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana contains two nuclear XRN2/3 5'-3' exonucleases that are homologs of yeast and human Rat1/Xrn2 proteins involved in the processing and degradation of several classes of nuclear RNAs and in transcription termination of RNA polymerase II. Using strand-specific short read sequencing we show that knockdown of XRN3 leads to an altered expression of hundreds of genes and the accumulation of uncapped and polyadenylated read-through transcripts generated by inefficiently terminated Pol II. Our data support the notion that XRN3-mediated changes in the expression of a subset of genes are caused by upstream read-through transcription and these effects are enhanced by RNA-mRNA chimeras generated in xrn3 plants. In turn, read-through transcripts that are antisense to downstream genes may trigger production of siRNA. Our results highlight the importance of XRN3 exoribonuclease in Pol II transcription termination in plants and show that disturbance in this process may significantly alter gene expression.

Spliceosome specifically associates with CTD phospho-serine 5 isoform of RNA polymerase II to promote co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Co-transcriptional splicing of introns is a defining feature of eukaryotic gene expression. We show that the mammalian spliceosome specifically associates with the S5P CTD isoform of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) as it elongates across spliced exons of protein coding genes, both in human Hela and murine lymphoid cell lines. Immuno-precipitation of MNase digested chromatin with phospho CTD specific antibodies reveals that components of the active spliceosome (both snRNA and proteins) form a specific complex with S5P CTD Pol II. Furthermore a dominant splicing intermediate formed by cleavage at intron 5’ss results in the tethering of upstream exons to this complex at all spliced exons. These are invariably connected to upstream spliced constitutive and less frequently to alternative exons. Finally S5P CTD Pol II accumulates over spliced exons but not adjacent introns. We propose that mammalian splicing employs a rapid, co-transcriptional splicing mechanism based on CTD phosphorylation transitions.
