Senataxin associates with replication forks to protect fork integrity across RNAPII transcribed genes

ABSTRACT: Here we analysed the role of yeast Senataxin (Sen1) in coordinating replication with transcription and in protecting genome integrity. Senataxin is mutated in the two severe neurodegenerative diseases AOA2 and ALS4. We show that a fraction of Sen1/Senataxin DNA/RNA helicase associates with replication forks and protects the integrity of those fork encountering highly expressed RNAPII genes. sen1 mutants accumulate aberrant DNA structures and RNA-DNA hybrids while forks clash head-on with RNAPII transcription units and counteract recombinogenic events and accumulation of checkpoint signals. Nrd1, which acts togheter with Sen1 in trascription temination, is not recruited at replication forks. nrd1 mutants does not display replication defects, high genome instability and checkpoint activation observed in sen1 mutants The Sen1 function in replication can be therefore separable from its role in RNA processing. We propose a role for Sen1/Senataxin during chromosome replication in facilitating replisome progression across RNAPII transcribed genes thus preventing DNA-RNA hybrids accumulation when forks encounter nascent transcripts on the lagging strand template.

Dormant origins and fork protection mechanisms rescue sister forks arrested by transcription

Project description:Yeast Sen1Senataxin is a RNA/DNA helicase that preserves replication forks across RNA Polymerase II-transcribed genes by counteracting RNA:DNA hybrids accumulation. We show that in Sen1-depleted cells early forks clashing head-on with transcription halt, and impair progression of sister forks within the same replicon. Unsolved replication-transcription collisions trigger the local firing of dormant origins that rescue arrested forks. In sen1 mutants the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes protect those forks clashing with transcription by preventing genotoxic fork-resection events mediated by the Exo1 nuclease. Hence, sister forks within the same replicon remain coupled when one of the two forks halts. This is different when forks encounter double strand breaks. Moreover, the local firing of dormant origins is not prevented by checkpoint activation but depends on delayed adjacent forks. Furthermore, a productive head-on clash between replication and transcription requires the tuning of origin firing and coordination between Sen1, the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes and Exo1.

Sen1 and Rrm3 ensure permissive topological conditions for replication termination [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Replication forks terminate at TERs and telomeres. Forks that converge or encounter transcription generate topological stress. Combining genetic, genomic and imaging approaches we found that Rrm3hPif1 and Sen1hSenataxin helicases assist termination at TERs, Sen1 at telomeres. rrm3 and sen1 are synthetic lethal, fail to terminate replication exhibiting lagging chromosomes and fragility at TERs and telomeres. sen1 rrm3 build up RNA-DNA hybrids at TERs, sen1 accumulates RNPII at TERs and telomeres. Double mutants exhibit X-shaped gapped or reversed converging forks. Rrm3 and Sen1 restrain Top1 and Top2 activities, preventing toxic accumulation of positive supercoil at TERs and telomeres. We suggest that Rrm3 and Sen1 coordinate the activities of fork-associated Top1 and Top2 with those of gene loop-associated Top1 and Top2 by preventing DNA and RNA polymerases slowing down when forks encounter transcription head-on or codirectionally, respectively. Hence Rrm3 and Sen1 are essential to generate permissive topological conditions for replication termination.

Pol II chromatin immunoprecipitation in S. cerevisiae

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae short non-coding RNA (ncRNA) generated by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) are terminated by the NRD complex consisting of Nrd1, Nab3 and Sen1. We now show that Pcf11, a component of the cleavage and polyadenylation complex (CPAC), is generally required for NRD-dependent transcription termination through the action of its CTD interacting domain (CID). Pcf11 localizes downstream of Nrd1 on NRD terminators, and its recruitment depends on Nrd1. Furthermore mutation of the Pcf11 CID results in Nrd1 retention on chromatin, delayed degradation of ncRNA and restricts Pol II CTD Ser2 phosphorylation and Sen1-Pol II interaction. Finally, the pcf11-13 and sen1-1 mutant phenotypes are very similar as both accumulate RNA:DNA hybrids and display Pol II pausing downstream of NRD terminators. We predict a mechanism whereby Nrd1 and Pcf11 exchange on chromatin facilitates Pol II pausing and CTD Ser2-P phosphorylation. This in turn promotes Sen1 activity that is required for NRD-dependent transcription termination in vivo. ChIP-seq with antibody against pol II in wild type and Pcf11 mutants: Pcf11-2, Pcf11-9 and Pcf11-13 grown at 25C and 37C along with input samples

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Spurious Transcription by Controlling Genome-Wide Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) termination for transcripts containing a polyadenylation signal (PAS) is thought to differ mechanistically from termination for PAS-independent RNAPII transcripts such as sn(o)RNAs. In a screen for factors required for PAS-dependent termination, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase known primarily for its role in PAS-independent termination. We show that Sen1 is required for termination on hundreds of protein-coding genes and suppresses cryptic transcription from nucleosome-free regions on a genomic scale. These effects often overlap with but are also often distinct from those caused by Nrd1 depletion, which also impacts termination of protein-coding and cryptic transcripts, including many genic antisense transcripts. Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and stimulates recruitment of factors previously implicated in both PAS-dependent (Rna14, Rat1) and PAS-independent (Nrd1) termination. Thus, RNAPII termination for both protein-coding genes and cryptic transcripts is dependent on multiple pathways. The 2 RNAPII datasets were produced in duplicates and the Sen1 and Nrd1 datasets in triplicates (all IP/Input).

Comparative transcriptome analysis of basal gene expression in Wild-type and Sen1ΔN mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sen1 is a 252-kDa, nuclear superfamily-1 RNA/DNA helicase that encoded by an essential gene SEN1 (Senataxin). It is an important component of the Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p (NRD1) complex that regulates the transcriptional termination of most non-coding and some coding transcripts at RNA polymerase pause sites. Sen1 specifically interacts with Rnt1p (RNase III), an endoribonuclease, and with Rpb1p (Rpo21p), a subunit of RNA polymerase II, through its N-terminal domain (NTD), which is a critical element of the RNA-processing machinery. Moreover, mutations in the N-terminal tail of SETX, a human ortholog of yeast Senataxin (Sen1) reported in neurological disorders. In one of the earlier studies, we have reported that the loss of dispensable NTD in yeast Sen1 resulted in flocculation and slow growing phenotypes along with defective DNA damage repair mechanisms. So, we attempted to explore the molecular basis of functional impairment associated with the loss of Sen1 N-terminal domain through global oligonucleotide microarray analysis. Also, we investigated for functionally enriched pathways based on the altered basal level gene expression profiles upon NTD loss of Sen1. The microarray data were validated by quantitative real-time PCR wherever necessary.

Genomic analysis of replication profiles identifies RFCCtf18 as a key mediator of the replication stress response

Project description:Maintenance of genome stability during DNA replication depends on surveillance mechanisms that prevent fork collapse and regulate replication timing. To dissect the checkpoint pathways signalling paused forks, we have screened a collection of S. cerevisiae mutants for their ability to activate Rad53, using the repression of late origins as readout for checkpoint efficiency. These genomic data redefine the role of key checkpoint factors. Indeed, they show that DNA damage sensors such as the 9-1-1 clamp and its loader RFCRad24 are unexpectedly dispensable to signal paused forks. In contrast, we found that the alternative clamp loader RFCCtf18 is essential for the Mrc1-dependent activation of Rad53. Moreover, we report that forks collapse in ctf18delta mutants and activate a secondary checkpoint pathway that represses very late origins in a Rad9-dependent manner. We propose a novel and integrated view of the replication checkpoint in which different pathways cooperate to fine tune the cellular response to arrested forks.

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Genome-Wide Spurious Transcription by Controlling Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:It is currently believed that termination by RNAPII occurs differently depending whether a transcript contains or lacks a polyadenylation signal (PAS). By screening for factors deficient for PAS-dependent termination in an in vivo reporter assay, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase mainly known for its role in PAS-independent termination of snoRNAs. We show for the first time that Sen1 regulates transcription termination at protein-encoding genes genome-wide. As well, we show that Sen1 suppresses cryptic transcription genome-wide, besides being required for termination of most snoRNAs. We provide evidence that Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and by effectively recruiting to chromatin, factors implicated in PAS-dependent (Rna14 and Rat1) or PAS-independent termination (Nrd1). Importantly, we demonstrate that the effect on transcription termination of Sen1 and Nrd1, although similar, differ quantitatively and qualitatively. Our results suggest that in yeast, termination by RNAPII at protein encoding-genes makes use of redundant pathways.
