Project description:Splicing factors are vital for the regulation of RNA splicing, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of their involvement in transcriptional processes remain poorly understood. Here, we describe a direct role of splicing factor RBM22 in coordinating multiple steps of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription in human cells. The RBM22 protein widely occupies the RNAPII-transcribed gene locus in the nucleus. Loss of RBM22 promotes RNAPII pause release, reduces elongation velocity and provokes transcriptional readthrough genome-wide, coupled with downstream-of-gene (DoG) transcript production and genome instability. RBM22 preferentially binds to the hyperphosphorylated, transcriptionally engaged RNAPII and coordinates its dynamics by regulating the homeostasis of the 7SK-P-TEFb complex and the association between RNAPII and SPT5 at the chromatin level. Our results uncover the multifaceted role of RBM22 in orchestrating the transcriptional program of RNAPII, and provide evidence implicating a splicing factor in both RNAPII elongation kinetics and termination control.

Project description:The production of functional mRNA involves multiple steps including transcription initiation, elongation, and termination. spt5 encodes a conserved essential transcription elongation factor that controls RNAPII processivity in vitro and co-localizes with RNAPII in vivo. We used microarrays to detail the global expression of gene expression at 24 hours post fertilization in wild-type and Spt5 mutant (fog-sk8) to identify Spt5 transcriptionally dependent genes and affected pathways. Here we report that a mutation in zebrafish spt5, sk8, deregulates <5% of ~10,000 genes examined. These findings reveal a small but diverse set of developmentally regulated genes, whose expression is critically dependent on Spt5-regulated RNAPII stalling in vertebrate development. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from zebrafish embryos were harvested at 24 hours post fertilization for hybridization to Affymetrix gene arrays.

Project description:Releasing promoter-proximally-paused RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) by the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) is a central regulatory step of eukaryotic mRNA synthesis. The nuclear activity of P-TEFb is controlled mainly by the 7SK small nuclear RNP (snRNP) which sequesters active P-TEFb into inactive 7SK/P-TEFb snRNP. Here we demonstrate that under normal culture conditions, the lack of 7SK snRNP has only a minor impact on global RNAPII transcription and promoter-proximal pausing without detectable consequences on cell growth and proliferation. However, upon ultraviolet (UV) light-induced DNA damage, cells lacking 7SK have a defective transcriptional response and highly reduced viability. Both UV-induced release of ‘lesion-scanning’ polymerases and activation of key early responsive genes are compromised in the absence of 7SK. We show that proper induction of 7SK-dependent UV-responsive genes, namely efficient release of paused RNAPII and recruitment of key elongation factors, requires P-TEFb activity directly mobilized from the nucleoplasmic 7SK/P-TEFb snRNP.

Project description:Many proteins associate with elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), although the functions of most of them are still not well understood. Spt5 is an essential transcription elongation factor that binds directly to RNA polymerase and is conserved in prokaryotes, archaea, and eukaryotes1. In eukaryotes, evidence suggests that Spt5 functions in transcription elongation by both RNA polymerases I and II, mRNA capping, mRNA splicing, and mRNA 3’ end formation2. However, the genome-wide requirement for Spt5 in transcription has not been extensively studied. To address this issue, we have comprehensively analyzed the consequences of Spt5 depletion on transcription by RNAPII in Schizosaccharomyces pombe using four genome-wide approaches: ChIP-seq, NET-seq, 4tU-seq, and RNA-seq. Our results demonstrate that, in the absence of Spt5, RNAPII accumulates at a high level over the first ~500 bp of transcription units, suggesting that Spt5 is globally required to elongate past a barrier to transcription. This possibility is strongly supported by results showing that Spt5 is required for a normal level of RNA synthesis. In addition to these effects on sense-strand transcription, Spt5 depletion results in widespread convergent antisense transcription that initiates at approximately the same position as the sense-strand barrier. While the role of these antisense transcripts is unknown, the two that were tested control the distribution of RNAPII. Our results also show that Spt5 represses divergent antisense transcription, explaining why it has not been previously observed in S. pombe. Taken together, our results reveal a global and critical role for Spt5 in multiple classes of transcription by RNAPII.

Project description:Complex functional coupling exists between transcriptional elongation and pre-mRNA alternative splicing. Pausing sites and changes in the rate of transcription by RNAPII may therefore have a fundamental impact in the regulation of alternative splicing. Here, we show that the elongation and splicing-related factor TCERG1 regulates alternative splicing of the apoptosis gene Bcl-x in a promoter-dependent manner. TCERG1 promotes the splicing of the short isoform of Bcl-x (Bcl-xs) through the SB1 regulatory element located in the first half of exon 2. Consistent with these results, we show evidence for in vitro and in vivo interaction of TCERG1 with the Bcl-x pre-mRNA. Transcription profile analysis reveals that the RNA sequences required for the effect of TCERG1 on Bcl-x alternative splicing coincide with a putative polymerase pause site. Furthermore, TCERG1 modifies the impact of a slow polymerase on Bcl-x alternative splicing. In support of a role for an elongation mechanism in the transcriptional control of Bcl-x alternative splicing, we found that TCERG1 modifies the amount of pre-mRNAs generated at distal regions of the endogenous Bcl-x. Most importantly, TCERG1 affects the rate of RNAPII transcription of endogenous human Bcl-x. We propose that TCERG1 modulates the elongation rate of RNAPII to relieve pausing, thereby activating the pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS 5’ splice site. ChIP-Seq
