Role of RNA polymerase II "pausing" in Drosophila development

ABSTRACT: According to previous studies, during Drosophila embryogenesis, RNA polymerase II is recruited to promoters at developmental stages preceding the stages of active transcription of genes. This work is aimed at exploring whether this mechanism is used during Drosophila metamorphosis. We performed ChIP-Seq analysis using antibodies to various modifications of RNA polymerase II (total, Pol II CTD Ser5P and Pol II CTD Ser2P), as well as to subunits of NELF, DSIF, PAF complexes and Brd4/Fs(1)h that control transcription elongation. We found that like in mid-embryogenesis during metamorphosis, promoters bind RNA polymerase II in the "paused" state preparing for activation at later stages of development. During mid-embryogenesis, RNA polymerase II in "pause" is phosphorylated at Ser5 and Ser2 of Rpb1 CTD and binds NELF, DSIF, and PAF complexes, but not Brd4/Fs(1)h. During metamorphosis, the "paused" RNA polymerase II complex includes Brd4/Fs(1)h in addition to NELF, DSIF, and PAF. The RNA polymerase II in this complex is phosphorylated at Ser5 at Rpb1 CTD, but not at Ser2.

Genome-wide map of RNA polymerase II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells

Project description:Most metazoan promoters have RNA polymerase II (Pol II) paused slightly downstream of the transcription start site by NELF and DSIF. This pausing keeps these promoters available for rapid induction by P-TEFb, whose activity causes NELF to dissociate and Pol II and DSIF to elongate on the gene. ChIP-Seq data was generated for Pol II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells and used to look at pausing downstream of unannotated promoters. 3x ChIP-Seq (Pol II, NELF, DSIF) in HeLa cells

The negative elongation factor NELF promotes active transcription of Drosophila ecdysone-dependent genes

Project description:The current work describes molecular mechanism used by the Negative elongation complex (NELF) to control the Pol II pause at genes whose transcription is induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). According to our data NELF complex is recruited to the promoters and enhancers of 20E-dependent genes. Its presence at the regulatory sites of 20E-dependent genes correlates with the described interaction of its NELF-A subunit with EcR receptor. The NELF complex, consisting of at least three subunits, is formed at the 20E-dependent promoters and participates in their active transcription and maintenance of their repressed state. NELF depletion causes a significant decrease in transcription induced by 20E. We associate this effect with the disruption of Pol II elongation complexes formation. A considerable reduction in the promoter-bound level of Spt5 subunit of DSIF was observed at the 20E-dependent genes upon NELF depletion. We presume that participation in stabilization of the Pol II-DSIF complex can be an important function of NELF with a big impact on transcription of its target genes. Part of our study was to directly link NELF to regulation of 20E-dependent genes in development. We showed presence of NELF at the promoters of 20E-dependent genes during their active transcription both in embryogenesis and metamorphosis. We also demonstrate that 20E-dependent promoters remain in a Pol II paused state at the larva stage, where they are temporarily repressed.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.

Ubiquitin-dependent turnover of MYC promotes loading of the PAF complex on RNA Polymerase II to drive transcriptional elongation (ChIP-seq)

Project description:The MYC transcription factor is an unstable protein and its turnover is controlled by the ubiquitin system. Ubiquitination enhances MYC-dependent transactivation, but the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Here we show that proteasomal turnover of MYC is dispensable for recruitment of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), but is required to promote transcriptional elongation at MYC target genes. Degradation of MYC stimulates histone acetylation and recruitment of BRD4 and P-TEFb to target promoters, leading to phosphorylation of RNAPII CTD and the release of elongating RNAPII. In the absence of degradation, the RNA polymerase II-associated factor (PAF) complex associates with MYC via interaction of its CDC73 subunit with a conserved domain in the amino-terminus of MYC ("MYC box I"), suggesting that a MYC/PAF complex is an intermediate in transcriptional activation. Since histone acetylation depends on a second highly conserved domain in MYCs amino-terminus ("MYC box II"), we propose that both domains co-operate to transfer elongation factors onto paused RNAPII. ChIP-Seq experiments for MYC-HA (HA-IP) and RNAPII (total,Ser2p,Ser5p) performed in IMEC primary breast epithelial cells. Input-samples were sequenced as controls. The following antibodies were used: HA (Abcam; ab 9110)/ total RNAPII (Santa Cruz; sc-899x)/ Ser2p RNAPII (Abcam; ab 5095)/ Ser5p RNAPII (Covance; MMS-128P)

Where indicated cells were transfected with siRNAs (siCtrl;siSKP2). Where indicated cells were treaed with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 or EtOH as solvent control. DGE was performed by comparing Dox-treated populations expressing either Dox-inducible MYC or a vector control or comparing Dox-induced cells with EtOH (solvent control) treated cells.

RTF1 and SPT6 stimulate transcription elongation by two distinct mechanisms

Project description:We have previously shown that the RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-DSIF complex associates with the PAF1 complex (PAF), RTF1 and SPT6 to form an activated elongation complex in vitro. Here we investigate the mechanisms that these factors use to stimulate Pol II elongation in vivo. We combine rapid factor depletion from human cells with genome-wide analyses of changes in RNA synthesis and occupancy with engaged Pol II. Whereas depletion of PAF subunits has little effect on transcription in vivo, depletion of RTF1 or SPT6 strongly compromises RNA synthesis, albeit in fundamentally different ways. RTF1 depletion decreases Pol II velocity, whereas SPT6 depletion impairs Pol II progression through nucleosomes. These results show that distinct transcription elongation factors stimulate Pol II velocity and Pol II progression through chromatin in vivo. Our results also provide evidence for two distinct barriers to elongation at the beginning of genes, the promoter-proximal pause site and the +1 nucleosome.
