ATRX promotes transcription initiation of HSV-1 immediate early genes [ATRX ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) transcribes its genome in a highly coordinated temporal cascade, utilizing the host RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Repression of transcription precedes the cascade's progression in a process requiring viral immediate early (IE) genes, in a phenomenon termed Transient Immediate Early gene Mediated Repression (TIEMR). Given that components of promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) are known to rapidly engage incoming HSV-1 genomes, we investigated their potential role in TIEMR regulation. Using siRNA knockdown of PML-NB constituents (PML, DAXX, and ATRX), we unexpectedly observed that ATRX depletion resulted in a significant reduction in nascent viral transcription on viral IE promoters at 1.5 hours post-infection (hpi). ChIP-Seq analysis indicated ATRX is associated with both highly transcriptionally active and transcriptionally restricted regions, indicating that ATRX has diverse functions in the viral genome. We show here that ATRX association with active transcription on IE genes is correlated to the presence of G-quadruplexes (G4s). Drug stabilization of G4s mimicked the effects of ATRX knockdown, significantly reducing transcription initiation on IE genes. These findings suggest that ATRX promotes transcriptional initiation of HSV-1 IE genes by preventing G4 formation. In sum, our results reveal a previously unrecognized pro-transcriptional role for ATRX early in HSV-1 infection.

ATRX promotes transcription initiation of HSV-1 immediate early genes [ATRX PRO-seq]

Parallel G-quadruplexes recruit the HSV-1 transcription factor ICP4 to promote viral transcription in herpes virus-infected human cells

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded nucleic acid structures abundant at gene promoters. They can adopt several distinctive conformations. G4s have been shown to form in the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) genome during its viral cycle. Here by cross-linking/pull-down assay we identified ICP4, the major HSV-1 transcription factor, as the protein that most efficiently interacts with viral G4s during infection. ICP4 specific and direct binding and unfolding of parallel G4s, including those present in HSV-1 immediate early gene promoters, induced transcription in vitro and in infected cells. This mechanism was also exploited by ICP4 to promote its own transcription. Proximity ligation assay allowed visualization of G4-protein interaction at the single selected G4 in cells. G4 ligands inhibited ICP4 binding to G4s. Our results indicate the existence of a well-defined G4-viral protein network that regulates the productive HSV-1 cycle. They also point to G4s as elements that recruit transcription factors to activate transcription in cells.

Transcriptomic analysis of early HSV-1 transcription in the absence of the immediate early protein, ICP4 [PROSeq]

Project description:Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) transcription is tightly regulated in a temporal cascade, utilizing cellular RNA polymerase (Pol). We previously observed that infection with HSV-1 mutants lacking immediate early (IE) genes a0, a4 and a22 exhibited unusually high levels of aberrant transcription across the viral genome at just 1.5 hpi. The strongest effect occurred in the absence of a4, which is both an essential transcriptional activator and repressor. The goal of the current study was to define the mechanism of ICP4-mediated early transcriptional repression on the viral genome. Using the transcriptomic tools PRO-Cap, PRO-Seq, GRO-Seq and Nanopore direct RNA sequencing we found that initiation was elevated at viral promoters of all temporal classes in the absence of ICP4. Despite higher levels of initiation, transcription of non-IE genes was stalled within gene bodies and did not lead to production of mature mRNA. We therefore posit that HSV-1 retains additional ICP4-independent mechanisms to limit expression of viral genes that initiate prematurely. The data also indicated rapid release from promoter proximal pausing and progression along HSV IE genes and revealed termination as an important rate -limiting regulatory step. These findings highlight multiple mechanisms that HSV-1 employs to regulate early transcription and identify ICP4’s repressive role is to restrict initiation on non IE genes, thereby ensuring correct progression of the temporal cascade.

Immediate early proteins of herpes simplex virus transiently repress viral transcription before subsequent activation.

Project description:This study was undertaken to further clarify the roles of HSV-1 immediately early (IE) genes ICP4, ICP0, and ICP22 in early viral transcription. Precision nuclear Run On followed by deep Sequencing (PRO-Seq) was used to identify sites of Pol activity to high resolution on the genomes of HSV-1 viruses bearing mutations in a0, a4 or a22/US1, and corresponding viruses in which these loci were genetically restored. The results indicated that prior to initiating activation of transcription, IE genes first mediate transcriptional repression.

PML protein organizes heterochromatin domains where it regulates histone H3.3 deposition by ATRX/DAXX

Project description:Maintenance of chromatin homeostasis involves proper delivery of histone variants to the genome. The interplay between different chaperones regulating the supply of histone variants to distinct chromatin domains remains largely undeciphered. We report a role of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein in the routing of histone variant H3.3 to chromatin and in the organization of megabase-size heterochromatic PML-associated domains that we call PADs. Loss of PML alters the heterochromatic state of PADs by shifting the histone H3 methylation balance from K9me3 to K27me3. Loss of PML impairs deposition of H3.3 by ATRX and DAXX in PADs but preserves the H3.3 loading function of HIRA in these regions. Our results unveil an unappreciated role of PML in the large-scale organization of chromatin and demonstrate a PML-dependent role of ATRX/DAXX in the deposition of H3.3 in PADs. Our data suggest that H3.3 loading by HIRA and ATRX-dependent H3K27 trimethylation constitute mechanisms ensuring maintenance of heterochromatin when the integrity of these domains is compromised.
