A ZBTB26–Integrator axis mediates targeted transcriptional activation

ABSTRACT: The Integrator complex is primarily known to attenuate transcription by inducing premature termination of paused RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and restraining pause release through its endonuclease and phosphatase activities. However, the mechanisms that govern Integrator recruitment to chromatin and direct gene-specific transcriptional programs in response to external stimuli and diverse biological contexts remain poorly understood. In particular, the regulatory functions of the Integrator auxiliary or arm module (INTS10/13/4/15) are the least characterized. Here, we identify ZBTB26 as an interactor of the Integrator auxiliary module via INTS10 and INTS13, and show that it co-occupies select promoters and enhancers with Integrator and active histone markers across the genome. We demonstrate that ZBTB26 is required for the recruitment of Integrator to its target loci, including genes involved in stimulus response, development, and differentiation. Importantly, the ZBTB26-Integrator axis sustains the active state of specific promoters and enhancers and drives defined gene transcriptional programs. Our findings reveal a transcription factor-like mechanism of targeted gene regulation mediated by ZBTB26-Integrator binding, extending the functional paradigm of Integrator beyond its canonical catalytic roles.

Control of cell identity and early neural fate commitment by the enhancer module of Integrator

Project description:Lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) operate as master orchestrators of developmental processes by activating select cis-regulatory enhancers and proximal promoters. Direct DNA binding of TFs ultimately drives context-specific recruitment of the basal transcriptional machinery that comprises RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and a host of polymerase-associated multiprotein complexes, including the metazoan-specific Integrator complex. Integrator is primarily known to modulate RNAPII processivity and to surveil RNA integrity across coding genes. Here we show an enhancer module of Integrator that directs cell fate specification by promoting epigenetic changes and TF binding at neural enhancers. Depletion of Integrator’s INTS10 upends neural traits and derails cells towards mesenchymal identity. Commissioning of neural enhancers relies on Integrator’s enhancer module, which stabilizes SOX2 binding at chromatin upon exit from pluripotency. We propose Integrator as a functional bridge between enhancers and promoters and a main driver of early development, providing new insight into a growing family of neurodevelopmental syndromes.

A combinatorial approach to uncover a novel Integrator subunit [RNA-seq]

Project description:The Integrator complex is one of the most elusive transcriptional regulators in metazoans, deemed to be recruited after initiation to help establish and modulate paused RNAPII. Recent structural, biochemical, and functional evidence suggest that Integrator is composed of 14 subunits, assembling, and operating in a modular fashion. We employed proteomics and machine-learning (alphafold2) approaches to discover a novel Integrator subunit, INTS15. We report that INTS15 assembles primarily with the INTS10-INTS13-INTS14 module and interfaces with the Int-PP2A phosphatase module. Functional genomics analysis further reveals a role for INTS15 in modulating RNAPII pausing at a subset of genes in human cell lines.

A combinatorial approach to uncover an additional Integrator subunit

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) controls expression of all protein coding genes and most noncoding loci in higher eukaryotes. Calibrating RNAPII activity requires an assortment of polymerase-associated factors that are recruited at sites of active transcription. The Integrator complex is one of the most elusive transcriptional regulators in metazoans, deemed to be recruited after initiation to help establish and modulate paused RNAPII. Integrator is known to be composed of 14 subunits that assemble and operate in a modular fashion. We employed proteomics and machine-learning structure prediction (AlphaFold2) to identify an additional Integrator subunit, INTS15. We report that INTS15 assembles primarily with the INTS13/INTS14/INTS10 module and interfaces with the Int-PP2A module. Functional genomics analysis further reveals a role for INTS15 in modulating RNAPII pausing at a subset of genes. Our study shows that omics approaches combined with AlphaFold2-based predictions provide additional insights into the molecular architecture of large and dynamic multiprotein complexes.

Control of cell identity and early neuronal fate commitment by the enhancer module of Integrator [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Cell fate specification occurs via coordinated transcriptional changes in pluripotent cells, resulting in progressive commitment towards distinct lineages. Lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs), through their intrinsic DNA-binding ability, operate as master orchestrators of early and late developmental processes by turning on select cis-regulatory enhancers and proximal promoter elements. TF binding ultimately drives recruitment of the basal transcriptional machinery that comprises RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and a host of polymerase-associated multiprotein complexes, including the metazoan-specific Integrator complex. Integrator is primarily known to modulate RNAPII processivity and to surveil RNA integrity. Here we show that a set of Integrator subunits (enhancer module) plays a direct role in cell fate specification by promoting epigenetic changes and TF binding at enhancer elements that drive neurogenesis and maintain neuronal cell identity. Depletion of a single Integrator subunit (INTS10) results in loss of molecular and morphological neuronal features, while diverting progenitor cells towards mesenchymal identity. Commissioning of developmental enhancers rely on Integrator’s enhancer module, which stabilizes SOX2 binding at chromatin upon exit from pluripotency. Integrator therefore operates as a functional bridge between enhancers and target promoters and is a driver of early developmental processes, providing new insight into a growing family of neurodevelopmental syndromes.
