Functional association of Gdown1 with RNA Polymerase II in Human

ABSTRACT: Most human genes are loaded with promoter proximally paused RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) molecules that are poised for release into productive elongation by P-TEFb. Gdown1, a protein that renders RNAP II responsive to mediator, is involved in RNAP II elongation control. During in vitro transcription assays Gdown1 specifically blocked elongation stimulation by TFIIF, inhibited the termination activity of TTF2, and influenced pausing factors NELF and DSIF, but did not affect the function of TFIIS or the mRNA capping enzyme. Without P-TEFb, Gdown1 led to the production of stably paused polymerases in the presence of nuclear extract. ChIP-Seq data demonstrated that Gdown1 mapped over essentially all poised polymerases across the human genome. Gdown1 increases the stability of poised polymerases while maintaining their responsiveness to P-TEFb, and mediator overcomes a Gdown1-mediated block of initiation by allowing TFIIF function.

Regulation of Mediator-dependent transcriptional activation of Pol II(G) through TFII

Project description:Pol II(G) is a novel form of RNA polymerase II that contains a tightly associated Gdown1 polypeptide. Whereas Pol II suffices for robust activator-dependent transcription in the absence of Mediator, Pol II(G) is highly dependent upon Mediator in a biochemically defined in vitro system. However, the mechanism(s) whereby Gdown1 alters the coactivator-dependence of Pol II is unknown. Here we show that Gdown1 competes with TFIIF for binding to the RPB1 and RPB5 subunits of Pol II in vitro, resulting in inhibition of a critical function of TFIIF in facilitating PIC assembly. The apparent inability of Pol II(G) to associate with TFIIF suggests that Gdown1 must be removed from Pol II for transcription initiation. However, Mediator can actually help Pol II(G) bind to the promoter prior to subsequent Mediator functions. Complementary cell-based analyses reveal that Pol II(G) is recruited to promoter regions of subsets of actively transcribed genes, where Pol II(G) appears to modulate transcription. Our findings indicate that differential regulation of subsets of genes by Pol II and Pol II(G) occurs through the regulation of TFIIF and consequent alterations in Mediator requirements.

SR Proteins Collaborate with 7SK and Promoter-Associated Nascent RNA to Release Paused Polymerase

Project description:RNAP II is frequently paused near gene promoters in mammals and its transition to productive elongation requires active recruitment of P-TEFb, a cyclin-dependent kinase for RNAP II and other key transcription elongation factors. A fraction of P-TEFb is sequestered in an inhibitory complex containing the 7SK noncoding RNA, but it has been unclear how P-TEFb is switched from the 7SK complex to RNAP II during transcription activation. We report that SRSF2 (also known as SC35, an SR splicing factor) is part of the 7SK complex assembled at gene promoters and plays a direct role in transcription pause release. We demonstrate RNA-dependent, coordinated release of SRSF2 and P-TEFb from the 7SK complex and transcription activation via SRSF2 binding to promoter-associated nascent RNA. These findings reveal an unanticipated SR protein function, a role for promoter-proximal nascent RNA in gene activation, and an analogous mechanism to HIV Tat/TAR for activating cellular genes.

Allosteric transcription stimulation by super elongation complex

Project description:The super elongation complex (SEC) contains the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and a subcomplex, ELL2-EAF1, which stimulates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of ELL2-EAF1 bound to a Pol II elongation complex at 2.8 Å resolution. The ELL2-EAF1 dimerization module directly binds the Pol II lobe, explaining how SEC delivers P-TEFb to Pol II. The same site on the lobe also binds the initiation factor TFIIF, consistent with SEC binding only after the transition from transcription initiation to elongation. Structure-guided functional analysis shows that elongation stimulation requires the dimerization module and an ELL2 protein linker that tethers this module to the Pol II protrusion. Our results show that SEC stimulates elongation allosterically and indicate that this stimulation involves stabilization of a further closed conformation of the Pol II active center cleft.

The 7SK/P-TEFb snRNP controls ultraviolet radiation-induced transcriptional reprogramming

Project description:Releasing promoter-proximally-paused RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) by the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) is a central regulatory step of eukaryotic mRNA synthesis. The nuclear activity of P-TEFb is controlled mainly by the 7SK small nuclear RNP (snRNP) which sequesters active P-TEFb into inactive 7SK/P-TEFb snRNP. Here we demonstrate that under normal culture conditions, the lack of 7SK snRNP has only a minor impact on global RNAPII transcription and promoter-proximal pausing without detectable consequences on cell growth and proliferation. However, upon ultraviolet (UV) light-induced DNA damage, cells lacking 7SK have a defective transcriptional response and highly reduced viability. Both UV-induced release of ‘lesion-scanning’ polymerases and activation of key early responsive genes are compromised in the absence of 7SK. We show that proper induction of 7SK-dependent UV-responsive genes, namely efficient release of paused RNAPII and recruitment of key elongation factors, requires P-TEFb activity directly mobilized from the nucleoplasmic 7SK/P-TEFb snRNP.

Crosstalk between the RNA methylation and histone binding activities of MePCE regulates P-TEFb activation on chromatin

Project description:The switch of RNAP II from the paused to the productive transcription elongation state is a pivotal regulatory step requiring specific phosphorylations catalyzed by the P-TEFb kinase. Nucleosolic P-TEFb activity is inhibited by its interaction with the ribonuclear protein complex built around the 7SK small nuclear RNA (7SK snRNP). MePCE is the RNA methyltransferase that methylates and stabilizes 7SK in the nucleosol. Here we report that MePCE also binds chromatin through the tail of histone H4 to serve as a P-TEFb activator at specific genes important for cellular identity. Notably, this histone binding abolishes MePCE’s RNA methyltransferase activity towards 7SK, explaining why MePCE-bound P-TEFb on chromatin may not be associated with the full 7SK snRNP and is competent for RNAP II activation. Overall, our results suggest that a crosstalk between the histone binding and RNA methylation activities of MePCE regulates P-TEFb activation on chromatin in a 7SK- and Brd4-independent manner.
