Dynamic interaction between tentacle-tethered microdomains in Integrator and NELF regulates the promoter-proximal pause checkpoint [TTchem]

ABSTRACT: NELF and Integrator are key regulators of promoter-proximal pausing and premature termination. Integrator subunit 12 (INTS12) contains a PHD domain within a flexible linker. While PHDs generally bind histones, we identify an interaction between the INTS12 PHD and a domain in the flexible C-terminal tentacle of NELF-A. Mutation of either domain disrupts the interaction, and although RNAPII-associated pausing complexes form, they are dysfunctional. Importantly, upon NELF-A mutation, interactions of the Integrator-containing pausing complex with transcriptional activators become apparent that correlate with increased pause-escape. Indeed, while INTS12 PHD loss functionally mimics Integrator loss, NELF-A mutation mimics loss of NELF, although the RNAPII pause position does not change. This supports a model in which Integrator is an integral component of the promoter-proximal pausing complex, and where INTS12’s PHD either interacts with NELF-A to pause/terminate transcription or enables interaction with activators and positive transcription regulators to allow pause-escape.

Dynamic interaction between tentacle-tethered microdomains in Integrator and NELF regulates the promoter-proximal pause checkpoint [eNET-seq]

Integrator complex regulates NELF-mediated RNA Polymerase II pause/release and processivity at coding genes [RNA-seq]

Project description:RNAPII pausing/termination shortly after initiation is a hallmark of gene regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are still to be uncovered. Here, we show that NELF interacts with Integrator complex subunits (INTScom) forming a stable complex with RNPII and Spt5. The interaction between NELF and INTScom subunits is RNA and DNA independent. Using both HIV-1 promoter and genome wide analyses, we demonstrate that Integrator subunits specifically control NELF-mediated RNAPII pause/release at coding genes. The strength of RNAPII pausing is determined by the nature of the NELF-associated complex. Interestingly, in addition to controlling RNAPII pause release INTS11 catalytic subunit of the INTScom is required for the synthesis of full length mRNA. Finally, INTScom-target genes are enriched in HIV-1 TAR/ NELF-binding element and in a 3’box sequence required for snRNA biogenesis. Revealing these unexpected functions of INTScom in regulating RNAPII pausing/release and completion of mRNA synthesis of NELF-target genes will contribute to our understanding of the gene expression cycle.

Maternal IntS12 establishes a conserved Pol II checkpoint to safeguard selective zygotic genome activation

Project description:Early embryos must execute faithful zygotic genome activation (ZGA), rapidly initiating transcription while preventing indiscriminate output from thousands of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)–occupied promoters. Here, we identify maternal IntS12 as a conserved genome-wide “filter” that enforces the selectivity of ZGA. In Drosophila, loss of maternal IntS12 leads to widespread activation of pseudo-ZGA genes and disruption of transcriptional hierarchy. Mechanistically, IntS12 engages IntS1 through a highly constrained N-terminal helicase-containing element to selectively stabilize promoter-proximal pausing factors (NELF) at poised loci, thereby restricting premature pause release and limiting productive elongation. Strikingly, in mouse embryos, maternal INTS12 depletion similarly causes ZGA failure and early developmental arrest. A minimal ~33–amino acid containing-two helixes from INTS12 is sufficient for this activity, functioning as a compact and highly selective module that preserves pausing integrity while suppressing ectopic transcription. Together, our findings reveal that an evolutionarily conserved microdomain containing two helixes in IntS12 acts as a Pol II checkpoint to ensure robust and selective ZGA.

Total RNA Pol2 ChIP-seq in mES cells treated with flavopiridol (Cdk9 inhibitor) after DSIF and NELF knockdown

Project description:Recent studies have found that promoter-proximal pausing occurs at most Pol2-regulated genes. DSIF and NELF function as negative elongation factors and promote Pol2 pausing. P-TEFb, whose enzymatic activity lies in the kinase Cdk9, positively regulates the transition into productive elongation by phosphorylating subunits in DSIF, NELF and Pol2. To gain insights into the interplay between these factors in regulating transcriptional pause release, we tested if knockdown of either pausing factor could bypass P-TEFb function. We find that P-TEFb function is still required for transcriptional elongation after DSIF or NELF knockdown. mES cells were infected with a shRNA hairpin to knockdown Spt5, Spt4, NelfE or control. The resulting cells were then treated with flavopiridol (1uM for 60 minutes). DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A sample of whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against total RNA Pol2 (Rpb1 N-terminus, Santa Cruz sc-899).
