Elongation factor-specific capture of RNA polymerase II complexes

ABSTRACT: Transcription of protein-coding genes is regulated by dynamic association of co-factors with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The function of these factors and their relationship with RNAPII is often poorly understood. Here, we present an approach for elongation factor-specific mNET capture (EMCAP) of RNA polymerase II complexes for sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis, for investigating the function of such RNAPII regulatory proteins. As proof of principle, we apply EMCAP to the RNAPII-associated proteins SCAF4 and SCAF8, which share an essential role as mRNA anti-terminators but have individual roles at the 3’end of genes. Mass spectrometry analysis shows that both SCAF4 and SCAF8 are part of RNAPII elongation complexes containing 3’end processing factors but depleted of splicing components. Importantly, the EMCAP-seq profiles of SCAF4- and SCAF8-RNAPII complexes reflect their function as mRNA-anti-terminators and their competing functions at the end of genes where they prevent or promote transcriptional readthrough.

SCAF4 and SCAF8, Transcriptional Anti-Terminator Proteins (mRNA-Seq)

Project description:Accurate regulation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional termination is a prerequisite for correct gene expression. Here we describe a role for SCAF4 and SCAF8 as anti-terminators, suppressing the use of early, alternative polyadenylation sites (PASs). The SCAF4/8 proteins bind the hyper-phosphorylated RNAPII C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) modified on both Ser2 and Ser5, and are detected at early, alternative PASs. Concomitant knockout of human SCAF4 and SCAF8 results in altered PAS selection, leading to expression of truncated mRNAs and proteins lacking functional domains, and is cell-lethal. While SCAF4 and SCAF8 thus work redundantly to suppress early termination, they also have independent, non-essential functions. SCAF8 is a positive RNAPII elongation factor, whereas SCAF4 is required for correct termination at canonical transcription termination sites in the presence of SCAF8. Together, SCAF4 and SCAF8 coordinate the transition between elongation and termination, directing PAS selection to ensure correct RNAPII transcriptional termination in human cells.

Association with Aurora-A controls N-MYC-dependent promoter escape and pause release of RNA polymerase II during the cell cycle

Project description:MYC proteins bind globally to active promoters and promote transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). To identify effector proteins that mediate this function, we performed mass spectrometry on N-MYC complexes in neuroblastoma cells. The analysis shows that N-MYC forms complexes with TFIIIC, TOP2A and RAD21, a subunit of cohesin. N-MYC and TFIIIC bind to overlapping sites in thousands of RNAPII promoters and intergenic regions. TFIIIC promotes association of RAD21 with N-MYC target sites and is required for N-MYC-dependent promoter escape and pause release of RNAPII. Aurora-A competes with binding of TFIIIC and RAD21 to N-MYC in vitro and antagonizes association of TOP2A, TFIIIC and RAD21 with N-MYC during S-phase, blocking N-MYC-dependent release of RNAPII from the promoter. Inhibition of Aurora-A in S-phase restores RAD21 and TFIIIC binding to chromatin and partially restores N-MYC-dependent transcriptional elongation. We propose that complex formation with Aurora-A controls N-MYC function during the cell cycle.

The histone chaperone Spt6 is required for normal recruitment of the capping enzyme Abd1 to transcribed regions

Project description:The histone chaperone Spt6 is involved in promoting elongation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), maintaining chromatin structure, regulating co-transcriptional histone modifications, and controlling mRNA processing. These diverse functions of Spt6 are partly mediated through its interactions with RNAPII and other factors in the transcription elongation complex. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to characterize the differences in RNAPII interacting factors between wild-type cells and those depleted for Spt6, leading to the identification of proteins that depend on Spt6 for their interaction with RNAPII. The altered association of some of these factors could be attributed to changes in steady-state protein levels. However, Abd1, the mRNA cap methyltransferase, had decreased association with RNAPII after Spt6 depletion despite unchanged Abd1 protein levels, showing a requirement for Spt6 in mediating the Abd1-RNAPII interaction. Genome-wide studies showed that Spt6 is required for maintaining the level of Abd1 over transcribed regions, as well as the level of Spt5, another protein known to recruit Abd1 to chromatin. Abd1 levels were particularly decreased at the 5’ ends of genes after Spt6 depletion, suggesting a greater need for Spt6 in Abd1 recruitment over these regions. Together, our results show that Spt6 is important in regulating the composition of the transcription elongation complex and reveal a previously unknown function for Spt6 in the recruitment of Abd1.

NusA-dependent Transcription Termination Prevents Global Misregulation of Gene Expression

Project description:Canonical bacterial intrinsic terminators do not require additional factors for efficient transcription termination, although the general transcription elongation factor NusA was known to increase the termination efficiency slightly in vitro. We found that the effect of NusA varies widely among different terminators and identified a subclass of weak non-canonical terminators that largely depend on NusA for recognition by RNA polymerase. Using genome-wide 3â end-mapping on an engineered Bacillus subtilis NusA depletion strain, we identified >2000 intrinsic terminators, hundreds of which are NusA-dependent. Our in vitro and in vivo characterization showed that terminators with weak RNA hairpins and distal U-tract interruptions tend to be NusA-dependent. Our observations indicate that the lethality associated with deletion of nusA is caused by global readthrough of NusA-dependent terminators, resulting in misregulation of physiologically important downstream genes. We also show that nusA expression is autoregulated by a transcription attenuation mechanism that is mediated by NusA-dependent termination. 3' end-mapping and mRNA profiling of stationary phase B. subtilis NusA-depletion (PLBS802) strain in NusA expressing and depleted conditions, 6 replicates each.
