Transcriptional interference drives intronic polyadenylation at the endogenous H13/Mcts2 locus

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: Over a tenth of mammalian genes are organised as nested within distinct host genes, questioning how both can be expressed when concurrent transcription can collide in the same genetic space. DNA methylation-mediated silencing of nested genes can prevent such conflict. Alternatively, transcriptional interference can occur, but this has not been mechanistically demonstrated independently of DNA methylation outside of artificial systems. We demonstrate transcriptional interference at an endogenous mammalian host/nested locus, the imprinted H13/Mcts2 pair. Here, active nested gene (Mcts2) transcription promotes host gene (H13) intronic polyadenylation, while Mcts2 silencing through promoter DNA methylation, favours distal 3′UTR polyadenylation. Using dCas9:KRAB-mediated silencing we establish that this effect depends on transcription itself, independently of DNA methylation. Moreover, nested gene transcription interferes with host gene elongation even when the upstream intronic polyadenylation site is ablated. Nested gene transcriptional interference can thus stimulate intronic termination of their host gene with implications for hundreds of loci. Allelic CUT&RUN was utilised to assay H3K36me3 to track elongation and H3K4me3 to assay promoters at the H13/Mcts2 locus within this study

Arabidopsis EDM2 Promotes IBM1 Distal Polyadenylation and Regulates Genome DNA Methylation Patterns [RNA-Seq]

Project description:A forward genetics screen led to the identification of the putative chromatin regulator EDM2 as a cellular anti-silencing factor and regulator of genome DNA methylation patterns. EDM2 contains a composite PHD finger domain that recognizes both active H3K4 and repressive H3K9 methylation marks at the intronic repeat elements in genes such as the histone H3K9 demethylase gene IBM1, and is necessary for maintaining the expression of these genes by promoting mRNA distal polyadenylation. Because of its role in maintaining IBM1 expression, EDM2 is required for preventing CHG methylation in the bodies of thousands of genes.Our results thus increase the understanding of anti-silencing, genome methylation patterns, and regulation of alternative RNA processing by intronic heterochromatin. Col-0 and edm2-4 total RNA are extracted from leaves and then polyA mRNAs are isolated for mRNA-seq.

Divergent transcription from lentiviral gene editing of cancer cells

Project description:We explored a gene editing approach to depleting ephrinB2 from colorectal cancer cells using an inducible lentiviral vector encoding a short hairpin (sh) RNA for ephrinB2 silencing via RNA interference. We discovered that lentiviral integration in the host DNA frequently drives divergent gene transcription generating antisense reads by forcing splicing and read-through into the host DNA resulting in expression of chimeric vector/host transcripts.

The ULK3 kinase is a key determinant of keratinocyte self-renewal and tumorigenesis targeting the arginine methylome

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms oversee epidermal homeostasis and oncogenesis. The identification of kinases controlling these processes has direct therapeutic implications. We show that ULK3 is a nuclear kinase with elevated expression levels in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) arising in multiple body sites, including skin and Head/Neck. ULK3 loss by gene silencing or deletion reduces proliferation and clonogenicity of human keratinocytes and SCC-derived cells and affects transcription impinging on stem cell-related and metabolism programs. Mechanistically, ULK3 directly binds and regulates the activity of two histone arginine methyltransferases, PRMT1 and PRMT5 (PRMT1/5), with ULK3 loss compromising PRMT1/5 chromatin association to specific genes and overall methylation of histone H4, a shared target of these enzymes. These findings are of translational significance, as downmodulating ULK3 by RNA interference or locked antisense nucleic acids (LNAs) blunts the proliferation and tumorigenic potential of SCC cells and promotes differentiation in two orthotopic models of skin cancer.

Molecular mechanisms of promoter silencing by transcriptional readthrough

Project description:Transcriptional interference is defined as the in cis suppression of one transcriptional process by another. While most mammalian genes are well insulated from such interference through proper transcriptional termination and chromatin boundary elements, disruption of these safeguards can lead to durable changes in gene activity and, in some cases, heritable epigenetic silencing. Here, we developed a tractable experimental system to investigate the mechanistic consequences of antisense transcriptional readthrough. Using mouse mesenchymal progenitor cells and CRISPR-Cas9, we modeled the epi-cblC phenotype through targeted deletion of the Prdx1 intron 5 splice acceptor site, resulting in transcriptional readthrough across the Mmachc locus. This led to aberrant deposition of H3K36me3, the establishment of DNA methylation, and stable, mitotically heritable silencing of Mmachc. Through systematic perturbations of transcription, and the H3K36 and DNA methylation machinery, we deconstruct the epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms that contribute to readthrough-mediated silencing. We demonstrate that antisense transcription is the primary driver of repression, while H3K36me3 contributes an intrinsic silencing component that is further required for the establishment of DNA methylation, which in turn confers long term stability. Together, these findings define a hierarchical silencing cascade in which transcriptional readthrough is converted into stable epigenetic memory across cell divisions, and establish transcription as an instructive regulatory process that is capable of reshaping local chromatin environments and gene expression.

pNET-seq (Pol II Ser5) in Arabidopsis

Project description:Intronic transposon elements (TEs) comprise a large proportion in eukaryotic genomes, but how they regulate the host genes remains to be explored. Our forward genetic screen disclosed the plant specific RNA polymerases IV and V in suppressing intronic TE-mediated cryptic transcription initiation of a chimeric transcripts at FLC (FLCTE). Initiation of FLCTE transcription is blocked by the locally formed intronic heterochromatin, and RNA Pol V direct associates and establishes intronic heterochromatin, thus inhibits the entry of RNA Pol II Ser5p and the occupancy of H3K4 methylation for promoting initiation. Genome-wide Pol II Ser5p native elongation transcription sequencing revealed that this is a common mechanism among intronic heterochromatin-containing genes. This study sheds light on deeply understanding the function of intronic heterochromatin on host genes expression in eukaryotic genome.
