DNA topoisomerase II promotes N6-adenosine mRNA methylation [ChIPseq]

ABSTRACT: Topoisomerase II (TOP2) is an enzyme that regulates of DNA topology, primarily by removing DNA supercoiling. This function is crucial during transcription, as the movement of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) generates torsional stress. However, the specific role of TOP2 in the regulation of gene expression remains to be fully elucidated, as both TOP2 inhibitors and poisons have been shown to upregulate specific genes. In this study, we show that TOP2 poisoning negatively affects transcription elongation of genes repressed at the level of promoter-proximal pausing. Importantly, this effect is counteracted by a defective mRNA N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) which results in altered mRNA turnover and pre-mRNA splicing. We propose that TOP2 serves a dual function, supporting the maintenance of basal transcription elongation while simultaneously promoting m6A modification in pre-mRNAs to reduce the overall gene expression output.

Genome wide binding of Top2 (in WT and uls1 delta cells) and Uls1 (in WT cells) both in the presence and absence of the Top2 poison acriflavine (ACF)

Project description:Topoisomerase II (Top2) is an essential enzyme that decatenates DNA via a transient Top2-DNA covalent intermediate. This intermediate can be stabilised by a class of drugs termed Top2 poisons, resulting in massive DNA damage. Thus, Top2 activity is a double-edged sword that needs to be carefully controlled to maintain genome stability. We show that Uls1, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling (Snf2) enzyme, can alter Top2 chromatin binding and prevent Top2 poisoning in yeast. Deletion mutants of ULS1 are hypersensitive to the Top2 poison acriflavine (ACF), activating the DNA damage checkpoint. We map Uls1’s Top2 interaction domain and show that this, together with its ATPase activity, is essential for Uls1 function. By performing ChIP-seq, we show that ACF leads to a general increase in Top2 binding across the genome. We map Uls1 binding sites and identify tRNA genes as key regions where Uls1 associates after ACF treatment. Importantly, the presence of Uls1 at these sites prevents ACF-dependent Top2 accumulation. Our data reveal the effect of Top2 poisons on the global Top2 binding landscape and highlights the role of Uls1 in antagonising Top2 function. Remodelling Top2 binding is thus an important new means by which Snf2 enzymes promote genome stability.

Type II topoisomerases shape multi-scale 3D chromatin folding in regions of positive supercoils (microC).

Project description:Type II topoisomerases (TOP2s) resolve torsional stress accumulated during various cellular processes and are enriched at chromatin loop anchors and TAD boundaries, where, when trapped, can lead to genomic instability promoting the formation of oncogenic fusions. Whether TOP2s relieve topological constraints at these positions and/or participate in 3D chromosome folding, remains unclear. Here, we combine 3D genomics, imaging and GapRUN, a method for the genome-wide profiling of positive supercoiling, to assess the role of TOP2s in shaping chromosome organization in human cells. Acute TOP2 depletion led to the emergence of new, large-scale contacts at the boundaries between active, positively supercoiled and lamina-associated domains. TOP2-dependent changes at the higher-order chromatin folding were accompanied by remodeling of chromatin-nuclear lamina interactions and of gene expression, while at the chromatin loop level, TOP2 depletion predominantly remodeled transcriptionally-anchored, positively supercoiled loops. We propose that TOP2s act as a fine-regulator of chromosome folding at multiple scales.
