The RNA Pol II Elongation Factor Ell3 Marks Enhancers in ES Cells and Primes Future Gene Activation

ABSTRACT: Enhancers play a central role in precisely regulating the spatiotemporal expression of developmentally regulated genes. The molecular mechanisms and factors required for controlling the inactive or poised enhancers and their function in future gene activation remain elusive. Here, we have identified that Ell3, a member of the Ell (Eleven-nineteen Lysine-rich Leukemia gene) family of RNA Pol II elongation factors, predominately occupies active and inactive enhancers of many developmentally regulated genes in mouse embryonic stem cells. Ell3 localizes to active enhancers of key stem cell renewal genes, but is not required for maintaining the undifferentiated state. Instead, Ell3 binding to inactive or poised enhancers is essential for marking them for stem cell specification through regulating the activation of key lineage-specific genes throughout differentiation. Ell3’s association with enhancers is required for setting up proper Pol II occupancy at the proximal promoter regions of neighboring genes. This functional interaction between Ell3 and proximal promoter Pol II is dependent on cohesin. The depletion of cohesin subunits removes Ell3 from the enhancers and results in reduction in the levels of promoter proximally paused Pol II. Our study demonstrates that Ell3 is required for stem cell fate specification through regulating Pol II pausing on key developmental genes in the undifferentiated state and for their proper expression during differentiation.

Poised RNA Polymerase II changes over developmental time and prepares genes for future expression (ChIP-seq data)

Project description:Poised RNA polymerase II is predominantly found at developmental control genes and is thought to allow their rapid and synchronous induction in response to extracellular signals. How the recruitment of poised RNA Pol II is regulated during development is not known. By isolating muscle tissue from Drosophila embryos at five stages of differentiation, we show that the recruitment of poised Pol II occurs at many genes de novo and this makes them permissive for future gene expression. When compared to other tissues, these changes are stage-specific and not tissue-specific. In contrast, Polycomb group repression is tissue-specific and in combination with Pol II (the balanced state) marks genes with highly dynamic expression. This suggests that poised Pol II is temporally regulated and is held in check in a tissue-specific fashion. We compare our data to mammalian embryonic stem cells and discuss a framework for predicting developmental programs based on chromatin state.

Lola-I is a promoter pioneer factor that establishes de novo Pol II pausing during development [MNase-seq]

Project description:While enhancers are often regulated at the level of accessibility by pioneer factors, promoters tend to be constitutively accessible and poised for activation by paused Pol II — thus are often not considered as sites of developmental regulation. Here we show that the accessibility of promoters and the acquisition of paused Pol II can also be subject to developmental regulation by pioneer factors. We show that Lola-I, a Drosophila zinc finger transcription factor, is ubiquitously expressed at the end of embryogenesis and causes its target promoters to become accessible and acquire paused Pol II throughout the embryo. This promoter transition is required but not sufficient for tissue-specific target gene expression. Lola-I mediates this function by binding to the edges of the promoter nucleosomes, which leads to their depletion, similar to the action of pioneer factors at enhancers. These results uncover a level of regulation for promoters that is normally found at enhancers, providing further evidence that promoters and enhancers display unexpectedly similar characteristics.
