Leo1 deletion reveals Set1-dependent transcription activation

ABSTRACT: Histone H3 lysine 4 methylation is closely associated with gene expression, yet the instructive roles remain incompletely understood. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, deletion of the Paf1C subunit Leo1 alters transcription without disrupting global H3K4 methylation levels or genome-wide distribution. Under these conditions, a subset of genes involved in sterol transport becomes highly induced and acquires de novo H3K4me3 at promoter-proximal regions. This transcriptional activation is abolished in leo1Δ set1Δ cells and restored by reintroduction of SET1, indicating that Set1-mediated H3K4me3 is required for their expression. The induced genes also exhibit enhanced sterol uptake, indicating physiological relevance. Importantly, these effects are specific to Leo1 deficiency and are not observed in mutants lacking other Paf1C components. Our findings define a native chromatin context in which H3K4me3 directly promotes gene activation, providing in vivo evidence for the instructive role of this histone modification.

Leo1 and Set1-mediated H3K4me3 contribute to sterol homeostasis in yeast [ChIPseq]

Project description:Project Abstract : Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is predominantly associated with transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and is believed to facilitate transcription initiation. Furthermore, H3K4me3 plays a role in defining cell fate and specific cellular functions. Nevertheless, the precise function of H3K4me3 in transcription activation remains a topic of ongoing debate. The Polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (Paf1C), which is integral to various transcription-related cellular processes, consists of five highly conserved subunits: Paf1, Ctr9, Rtf1, Cdc73, and Leo1. While all subunits of Paf1C are indispensable for the maintenance of H3K4 methylation levels, it is noteworthy that strains lacking Leo1 exhibited unaltered levels of H3K4me3. To elucidate the role of H3K4me3, we conducted a transcriptome analysis coupled with ChIP-sequencing of H3K4me3 in cells lacking Leo1. Our research uncovers a distinctive role of Leo1 in yeast, whereby it plays a pivotal role in maintaining sterol homeostasis through the suppression of Upc2 expression. Importantly, this role stands apart from the functions of other Paf1C subunits. H3K4me3 is essential for promoting the expression of sterol uptake genes that are Upc2-dependent when Leo1 is absent. Additionally, Set1 contributes to sterol homeostasis by regulating iron metabolism and mitochondrial functions rather than directly suppressing Upc2 expression. Therefore, our findings reveal a novel role for Leo1 in sterol homeostasis and highlight the importance of H3K4me3 in promoting transcription of response genes required for sterol uptake.

CDK12 and Integrator-PP2A complex Modulates LEO1 Phosphorylation for Processive Transcription Elongation

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) interacts with Cyclin K to form a functional nuclear kinase that promotes processive transcription elongation through phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain (CTD). To gain a broader understanding of CDK12 cellular function, we used chemical-genetic and phosphoproteomic screening to identify a landscape of nuclear human CDK12 substrates, including regulators of transcription, chromatin organization, and RNA splicing. We further validated LEO1, a subunit of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C), as a bona fide cellular substrate of CDK12. Acute depletion of LEO1, or substituting LEO1 phosphorylation sites with alanine, attenuated PAF1C association with elongating Pol II and impaired processive transcription elongation. We also found that LEO1 interacts with, and is dephosphorylated by, the Integrator-PP2A complex (INTAC) and that INTAC promotes the association of PAF1C with Pol II. Together, this study reveals a previously unknown role for CDK12 and INTAC in regulating LEO1 phosphorylation for transcriptional regulation, providing important insights into gene transcription and its regulation.
