Kinetic measurement of gene-specific RNAPII transcription elongation rates

ABSTRACT: Transcription is regulated at multiple levels, including initiation, elongation, and termination. Whereas much research has focused on initiation of transcription, regulation of elongation plays an important role not only for transcription dynamics, but also for co-transcriptional RNA processing as the RNAPII elongation rate can influence maturation of the nascent RNA transcript. Despite advances in high-throughput approaches for global identification of RNAPII speed, RNAPII elongation rate studies have been largely limited to a small number of genes. Here, we present DRB/TTchem-seq2, a modified version of DRB/TTchem-seq method, to measure gene-specific elongation rates of more than 3,000 genes. By approximating the distance traveled by RNAPII in certain time intervals using the wave fronts post RNAPII release. Our direct RNAPII elongation rate quantification reveals that elongation rates vary not only among genes but also within genes. Additionally, specific histone modifications and elongation factors are tightly correlated with the elongation rates. Together, we present a robust and powerful method for RNAPII transcription elongation rate measurement.

Rate of elongation by RNA polymerase II is influenced by specific gene features and histone modifications

Project description:The rate of transcription elongation plays important roles in the timing of expression of full-length transcripts as well as for the regulation of alternative splicing. In this study we coupled Bru-Seq technology with 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole 1-M-NM-2-D-ribofuranoside (DRB) to estimate the elongation rates of over 2,000 individual genes in human cells. This technique, BruDRB-Seq, revealed gene-specific differences in elongation rates with a median rate of around 1.5 kb/min. We found that genes with fast elongation rates showed higher densities of H3K79m2 and H4K20me1 marks compared to slower elongating genes. Furthermore, fast elongation rates had a positive correlation with gene length, low complexity DNA sequence and distance from nearest active transcription unit. Features that negatively correlated with elongation rate included exon density and the number of LINE sequences in the gene. The BruDRB-Seq technique offers new opportunities to interrogate mechanisms of regulation of transcription elongation. Measurement of RNA Pol II elogation rate. Normal fibroblasts (HF1 and TM), Cockayne syndrome group B fibroblasts, K562 and MCF-7 cells were exposed to DRB for 60 minutes, after which a washout was performed. Nascent RNA was labeled using bromouridine for 10 minutes immediately after the washout. The genomic region extending from actice Trancription Start Sites was used to determine the gene's elongation rate. Please note that the nf_0h_3* samples are duplicated sample records of GSM1062445 and GSM1062446, for the convenient retrieval of the complete raw data from SRA.

Rpb9 plays a critical role in global co-transcriptional splicing (Time-course GRO-seq)

Project description:To investigate the question that whether Rpb9 affects elongation velocity, thereby indirectly affecting splicing the regulation, we performed time-course GRO-seq after DRB release. In this assay, DRB was first used to block transcription elongation, which caused Pol II to accumulate at TSSs. Upon DRB wash-off, we performed GRO-seq at 0, 10, 20, and 30min to determine the movement of Pol II wave toward gene 3’ end.Based on the hidden Markov model established earlier, we detected a marked reduction of Pol II re-initiation upon DRB removal in response to Rpb9 knockdown (KD) in HeLa cells. This is consistent with the role of Rpb9 in transcription initiation. By determining the mean elongation rate between 10 and 20min and between 20 and 30m, we found accelerated Pol II elongation, as reported earlier, and interestingly, Rpb9 knockdown appeared to have slightly decreased, rather increased, the rate of transcription. We divided all impacted splicing events 4 equal bins and then asked if a higher degree of induced exon skipping tends to occur on genes with faster Pol II movement, finding that this is not the case. Conversely, we divided Rpb9 KD-altered Pol II rate into 4 equal binds and asked whether splicing shows any correlation to Pol II Rpb9 KD-altered Pol II elongation rate, and again, we detected no correlation. We conclude from these data that Rpb9 KD has some minor impact on the Pol II elongation rate in vivo, and importantly, whatever measurable changes in Rpb9 KD-induced Pol II elongation rate are not linked to changes in Rpb9 KD-induced co-transcriptional splicing.

Multi-omics and biochemical reconstitution reveal CDK7-dependent mechanisms controlling RNA polymerase II function at gene 5'- and 3'-ends

Project description:CDK7 regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiation, elongation, and termination through incompletely understood mechanisms. Because contaminating kinases precluded CDK7 analysis with nuclear extracts, we completed biochemical assays with purified factors. Reconstitution of RNAPII transcription initiation showed CDK7 inhibition slowed and/or paused RNAPII promoterproximal transcription, which reduced re-initiation. These CDK7-regulatory functions were suppressing RNAPII activity at promoters, consistent with reduced initiation and/or re-initiation. Moreover, widespread 3'-end readthrough transcription was observed in CDK7-inhibited cells; mechanistically, this occurred through rapid nuclear depletion of RNAPII elongation and termination factors, including high-confidence CDK7 targets. Collectively, these results define how CDK7 governs RNAPII function at gene 5'-ends and 3'-ends, and reveal that nuclear abundance of elongation and termination factors is kinase-dependent. Because 3'-readthrough transcription is commonly induced during stress, our results further suggest regulated suppression of CDK7 activity may enable this RNAPII transcriptional response.

Pre-mRNA Splicing is Facilitated by an Optimal RNA Polymerase II Elongation Rate

Project description:Transcription and pre-mRNA alternative splicing was analyzed by in isogenic human HEK293 cell lines that inducibly express a-amanitin resistant mutants of the RNA polymerase II large subunit with slow and fast elongation rates. Alternative splicing was analyzed by, RNA-seq and RASL-seq of polyA+ RNA from a-amanitin treated cells; transcription elongation rate was analyzed by BrUTP-labelled GRO-seq of a-amanitin treated cells at time points after release from a DRB (5,6-dichloro-1-bold beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole) block.

The response of A549 transcriptome to RNA Pol II slowdown with alpha-amanitin and DRB

Project description:According to current estimates, more than 40% of nascent introns are spliced co-transcriptionally and, consequently, the speed of RNA polymerase II elongation must fundamentally affect the rate of RNA folding, spliceosome assembly, and the resulting mature transcript. RNA-Seq data was generated using RNAPII elongation inhibitors DRB and a-amanitin in A549 cells and used to look at genome-wide splicing changes
