Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the effects of commonly used nuclease treatments and their divalent metal cation cofactors on Pol I occupancy during NET-seq. Other groups have previously used micrococcal nuclease (MNase) + CaCl2 and deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) + MnCl2 in NET-seq protocols probing for Pol II occupancy. However, the effect of these treatments on polymerase occupancy has not been fully explored. Therefore, we tested the impact of these treatments (CaCl2, CaCl2 + MNase, MnCl2, and MnCl2 + DNase I) on Pol I occupancy in vivo. We found that the exposure of Pol I to either CaCl2 or MnCl2 caused a significant reduction in occupancy on the rDNA template. Nuclease treatment (with either MNase or DNase I) did not cause an additional significant effect on Pol I occupancy in vivo beyond that of either CaCl2 or MnCl2. Finally, we found that MnCl2 treatment caused a more significant reduction in Pol I occupancy as compared to CaCl2, suggesting that perhaps MnCl2 stimulates the intrinsic cleavage activity of Pol I more robustly vs. CaCl2 in vivo. Altogether, these findings indicate that the inclusion of these treatments (especially that of divalent metal cations) in NET-seq protocols for Pol I cause a significant change in the polymerase occupancy.

Project description:The advent of quantitative approaches that enable interrogation of transcription at single nucleotide resolution has allowed a novel understanding of transcriptional regulation previously undefined. To better map transcription genome-wide at base pair resolution and with transcription/elongation factor dependency we developed an adapted NET-seq protocol called NET-prism (Native Elongating Transcription by Polymerase-Regulated Immunoprecipitants in the Mammalian genome). NET-prism introduces an immunoprecipitation to capture RNA Pol II – associated proteins, which reveals the interaction of these proteins with active RNA Pol II. Application of NET-prism on different Pol II variants (Pol II S2ph, Pol II S5ph), elongation factors (Spt6, Ssrp1), splicing factors (Sf1), and components of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) (TFIID, and Mediator) reveals diverse Pol II signals, at a single nucleotide resolution, with regards to directionality and intensity over promoters, splice sites, and enhancers/super-enhancers. NET-prism will be broadly applicable as it exposes transcription factor/Pol II dependent topographic specificity and thus, a new degree of regulatory complexity.

Project description:Using NET-seq to profile nascent RNA transcription, we show that auxin-mediated depletion of TBP does not affect Pol II transcription and gene activation via heat shock.

Project description:Gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is under the control of promoters and distal regulatory elements known as enhancers. Enhancers are themselves transcribed by Pol II which correlates with their activity. How enhancer transcription is regulated and coordinated with transcription at target genes has remained unclear. Here, we developed a high-sensitive native elongating transcript sequencing approach, called HiS-NET-seq, to provide an extended high-resolution view on transcription, especially at lowly transcribed regions such as enhancers. HiS-NET-seq uncovers new transcriptional enhancers in human cells. An integrated multi-omics analysis shows that transcription at most enhancers depends on the BET protein BRD4. We provide evidence for a direct BRD4-mediated coupling of Pol II transcription at enhancers and target genes. Specifically, BRD4 links elongation activation at enhancers and genes by maintaining their proximity. These studies reveal that transcription at enhancers and target genes is coordinated at the level of elongation.

Project description:Major features of transcription by human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) remain poorly defined due to a lack of quantitative approaches for visualizing Pol II progress at nucleotide resolution. We developed a simple and powerful approach for performing native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) in human cells that globally maps strand-specific Pol II density at nucleotide resolution. NET-seq exposes a mode of antisense transcription that originates downstream and converges on transcription from the canonical promoter. Convergent transcription is associated with a distinctive chromatin configuration and is characteristic of lower-expressed genes. Integration of NET-seq with genomic footprinting data reveals stereotypic Pol II pausing coincident with transcription factor occupancy. Finally, exons retained in mature transcripts display Pol II pausing signatures that differ markedly from skipped exons, indicating an intrinsic capacity for Pol II to recognize exons with different processing fates.

Project description:NET-seq was performed on yeast strains carrying deletions of mRNA decay factors (plus a control) in order to assess the effect of their deletion on RNA polymerase II occupancy at genetic loci. This is in pursuit of understanding the process of mRNA buffering which links mRNA synthesis and decay.

Project description:Given that transition metals are essential cofactors in central biological processes, misallocation of the wrong metal ion to a metalloprotein can have resounding and often detrimental effects on diverse aspects of cellular physiology. Therefore, in an attempt to characterize unique and shared responses to chemically similar metals we have reconstructed physiological behaviors of Halobacterium NRC-1, an archaeal halophile, in sub-lethal levels of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). Over 20% of all genes responded transiently within minutes of exposure to Fe(II), perhaps reflecting immediate large scale physiological adjustments to maintain homeostasis. At steady state, each transition metal induced growth arrest, attempts to minimize oxidative stress, toxic ion scavenging, increased protein turnover and DNA repair, and modulation of active ion transport. While several of these constitute generalized stress responses, up regulation of active efflux of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), down regulation of Mn(II) uptake and up regulation of Fe(II) chelation, confer resistance to the respective metals. We have synthesized all these discoveries into a unified systems level model to provide an integrated perspective of responses to six transition metals with emphasis on experimentally verified regulatory mechanisms. Finally, through comparisons across global transcriptional responses to different metals we provide insights into putative in vivo metal selectivity of metalloregulatory proteins and demonstrate that a systems approach can help rapidly unravel novel metabolic potential and regulatory programs of poorly studied organisms.
