Co-transcriptional RNA processing boosts zygotic genes and restrains noncoding transcription

ABSTRACT: Transcription decodes protein-coding genes and interprets regulatory information embedded in the genome by generating RNA. In eukaryotes, gene transcription is coupled with RNA processing via the carboxyl terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase (Pol) II to enhance mRNA production. Here we propose that co-transcriptional RNA processing is essential for zygotic gene activation (ZGA), which shifts from noncoding to protein-centered gene expression post-fertilization. Truncating the Pol II CTD in mouse embryonic stem cells disrupts this coupling, halting global mRNA synthesis and causing widespread intergenic transcription. This triggers transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming and nuclear reorganization towards totipotency, resembling early two-cell embryos before ZGA. Mechanistically, the CTD suppresses noncoding transcription by restraining polymerase activity on chromatin, but facilitates promoter-proximal pausing, transcription directionality, velocity, and elongation efficacy at genes through coupled RNA processing. The evolution of longer CTD lengths enhances gene activity, likely accommodating the increasingly abundant noncoding genome sequences in mammals.

PHF3 regulates RNA stability through PHD and TLD domains - RNAseq PHD - TLD

Project description:Transcription and RNA processing are tightly coupled and precisely coordinated to ensure appropriate levels of mature transcripts. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is phosphorylated differentially during the transcription cycle and serves as a landing pad for a variety of transcriptional regulators and RNA processing proteins. PHD finger protein 3 (PHF3) binds to the serine-2 phosphorylated Pol II CTD with its Spen Paralogue and Orthologue C-terminal (SPOC) domain and regulates transcription elongation and mRNA stability. Here we show that PHF3 binds target RNAs by recognizing a G-rich motif prone to form G-quadruplexes (G4s). Two PHF3 zinc finger domains, PHD (plant homeo domain) and TLD (TFIIS-like domain) act in concert to bind and destabilize target RNAs and their deletion in HEK293T cells causes massive deregulation of gene expression. Together these results establish PHF3 as a Pol II and an RNA-binding protein that coordinates transcription elongation with RNA decay to regulate neuronal gene expression.

Pol II Ser7phospho ChIP-seq in mES cells

Project description:RNA Polymerase II transcribes protein-coding and many non-coding RNA genes in eukaryotes. The largest subunit of RNA Polymerase II, Rpb1, contains a hepta-peptide repeat on its C-terminal tail with three potential phosphorylation sites (Serine 2, Serine 5 and Serine 7). Mammalian Rpb1 contains 52 repeats. The phosphorylation events are catalyzed by specific protein kinases where the phosphorylation of specific residues is coupled to the transcription cycle. For example, the Cdk7 subunit of TFIIH phosphorylates both Serine 5 and Serine 7 during intiation and the Cdk9 subunit of P-TEFb phosphorylates Serine 2 during the transition into productive elongation. The dataset presented here is the genome-wide distribution of RNA Pol II with Serine 7 of the CTD phosphorylated in murine embryonic stem cells. This data, in addition to phospho-specific datasets generated in the same cell type in Rahl et al. Cell 2010 and Seila et al. Science 2008, represents the genome-wide distribution of multiple RNA Pol II isoforms in murine embryonic stem cells: total Pol II, hypophosphorylated CTD Pol II, Serine 2 phosphorylated CTD Pol II, Serine 5 phosphorylated CTD Pol II and Serine 7 phosphorylated CTD Pol II. An antibody specific to RNA Pol II Serine 7 phosphorylated CTD (gift of Dirk Eick; Chapman et al. Science 2008) was used to enrich for DNA fragments associated with this Pol II isoform in murine embryonic stem cells. DNA was purified and prepared for Illumina/Solexa sequencing following their standard protocol. This is a single dataset but together with datasets from Rahl et al. Cell 2010 and Seila et al. Science 2008, these datasets represent the genome-wide distribution of multiple RNA Pol II isoforms in murine embryonic stem cells: total Pol II, hypophosphorylated CTD Pol II, Serine 2 phosphorylated CTD Pol II, Serine 5 phosphorylated CTD Pol II and Serine 7 phosphorylated CTD Pol II.

Repression of pervasive transcription is the primary role of RNA polymerase II CTD serine 2 phosphorylation in fission yeast

Project description:The RNA polymerase II carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) consists of conserved repeats of the consensus sequence Y1-S2-P3-T4-S5-P6-S7, which can be phosphorylated to influence distinct stages of the transcription cycle, including RNA processing. Although affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry has defined CTD-associated proteins, phospho-dependent CTD interactions have remained largely elusive. Proximity-dependent biotinylation (PDB) provides an alternative approach to identify protein-protein associations in the native cellular environment. Here we present a PDB-based map of the fission yeast RNAPII CTD in live cells. The proteomic screen identified known CTD-associated proteins, but also captured new and unexpected CTD proximal proteins. We also used PDB to identify phospho-dependent CTD interactions by using a mutant in which Ser2 was replaced by alanine in every repeat of the fission yeast CTD. Surprisingly, CTD-mediated biotinylation of most 3’ end processing factors was not affected in the S2A mutant, consistent with RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis indicating that CTD Ser2 phosphorylation is not required for 3’ end processing and transcription termination. Conversely, we found that CTD Ser2 phosphorylation is critical for the association between RNAPII and the histone methyltransferase Set2 during transcription elongation. We show that loss of CTD Ser2 phosphorylation disables the Set2-Clr6(II) axis, resulting in a global increase in cryptic antisense transcription that correlates with elevated levels of histone acetylation in gene bodies. Our findings reveal that the fundamental role of CTD Ser2 phosphorylation is to establish a chromatin-based repressive state that prevents cryptic intragenic transcription initiation.

RNA polymerase II activity revealed by GRO-seq and pNET-seq in Arabidopsis

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) play an essential role in gene expression. Here, we adapted mammalian Native Elongation Transcript sequencing and Global Run On sequencing to profile nascent RNA genome wide in Arabidopsis. We found Pol II tends to accumulate downstream of transcription start site and pausing at proximal promoter is an important regulatory step for Pol II transcription although loosely controlled. Furthermore, the Pol II with unphosphorylated carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) mainly accumulates downstream the TSS, while the Ser5P CTD Pol II associates with spliceosome, and the Ser2P CTD Pol II presents a sharp peak 250 base pair downstream of polyadenylation site indicating a stringent control of termination for protein coding genes; whilst the termination of noncoding genes is not. Active expressed genes can be classified into three clusters according to the distribution patterns of different Pol II isoforms. In summary, we demonstrated the modified plant GRO-seq and mNET-seq are suitable to study RNA Pol II dynamics in planta. Although transcription is conserved among high eukaryotes, Pol II has its feature in Arabidopsis.

RNA-seq analysis in WT and rpb1-CTD-S2A strains

Project description:We report calibrated transcriptome of rpb1-CTD-S2A and WT of S. pombe cells. Phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain on heptad Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7 coordinates key events during transcription and when its deregulation leads to defects in transcription and RNA processing. Here we report that alanine substitution of all Ser2 in CTD result in increased antisense transcription.

Distinctive Interactomes of RNA polymerase II phosphorylation during different stages of transcription

Project description:During eukaryotic transcription, RNA polymerase II undergoes dynamic post-translational modification on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit , generating a sophisticated PTM landscape for the spatiotemporal recruitment to transcriptional regulators. To delineate the protein interactomes recruited to Pol II at different stages of transcription, we in vitro reconstructed phosphorylation patterns of the CTD at Ser5 and Ser2 positions, the hallmark phosphorylation at the initation and productive elongation stages of transcription, respectively. Distinctive protein interactomes indicates different proteins are recruited to RNA polymerase II at different stages of transcription by the phosphorylation of Ser2 and Ser5 of the CTD heptads. Calcium Homeostasis Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein (CHERP) specifically binds to the Ser2 of the heptad. The loss of the interaction between CHERP and Pol II results in broad alternative splicing events. Our method points to a new method to distinguish the PTM codes that coordinate the transcription process.

The SPOC domain is a phosphoserine binding module that bridges transcription machinery with co- and post-transcriptional regulators - ChIP-seq

Project description:The heptarepeats of the C-terminal domain of Pol II are extensively modified throughout the transcription cycle. The CTD coordinates RNA synthesis and processing by recruiting transcription regulation factors as well as RNA capping, splicing and 3’end processing factors. The SPOC domain of PHF3 was recently identified as a new CTD reader domain specifically binding to phosphorylated Serine-2 residues in adjacent CTD repeats. Here, we establish the SPOC domains of the human proteins DIDO, SHARP and RBM15 as phosphoserine binding modules that can act as CTD readers but also recognize other phosphorylated binding partners. We report the crystal structure of SHARP (SPEN) SPOC-CTD and identify the molecular determinants for its specific binding to phosphorylated Serine-5. PHF3 and DIDO SPOC domains preferentially interact with the Pol II elongation complex, while RBM15 and SHARP SPOC domains engage with the m6A writer and reader proteins. Our findings establish the SPOC domain as a major interface between the transcription machinery and regulators of transcription and co-transcriptional processes. Here we include ChIP seq data from SHARP and PHF3 with and without the SPOC domain.
