Identifications of a novel group of intra-genic interactive putative enhancers reveals a distinctive enhancer architectures in plants

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: Enhancers are important regulators of gene expression in eukaryotes; however, only a few enhancers have been identified in plants, and the genome-wide identifications are lacking. To investigate enhancers in Arabidopsis thaliana, we analyzed the chromatin landscape, RNA Pol II occupancy, and the polyadenylated and non-polyadenylated Arabidopsis transcriptomes, using exosome-deficient lines to capture stable and unstable transcripts. Here we identified the set of unique >1900 regions, termed Putative Enhancers (PEs), carrying canonical chromatin signatures of metazoan transcriptional enhancers. Almost of PEs are intra-genic and transcriptionally active. Unexpectedly, most of the PE carrying these signatures are associated with the 3′ ends of protein-coding genes, enriched in transcription factor binding, with binding motifs resembling polyadenylation signals, thus linking links two hubs of very different, functionally and mechanistically distinct processes – cleavage/polyadenylation and transcription termination of protein-coding genes with transcriptional activation/regulation of different genes. And may present a novel DNA elements with regulatory potential. Additionally, according to high resolution Arabidopsis Hi-C data 24% of identified PEs interact with other protein-coding genes intrachromosomally, through binding by the same set of transcription factors, supporting the notion of co-regulation of expression between PEs and their targets. We also confirmed that PEs are highly conserved in the recently sequenced 1035 different Arabidopsis accessions.

Direct sequencing of polyadenylation sites in fission yeast S. pombe

Project description:We sequenced the 3' ends of polyadenylated transcripts among total RNA in fission yeast wildtype and rdp1∆ cells and mapped the 3'-most nucleotide prior to polyadenylation. We find that mRNA-coding open reading frames have a low number of polyadenylation sites with most of the reads, whereas pericentromeric dg and dh repeats have a high number of polyadenylation sites throughout the transcribed region, mapping to both strands. direct sequencing of polyadenylated 3' ends of RNA (Helicos)

Brd4 and JMJD6-associated Anti-pause Enhancers in Regulation of Transcriptional Pause Release

Project description:Distal enhancers characterized by H3K4me1 mark play critical roles in developmental and transcriptional programs. However, potential roles of specific distal regulatory elements in regulating RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pause release remain poorly investigated. Here we report that a unique cohort of jumonji C domain-containing protein 6 (JMJD6) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (Brd4) co-bound distal enhancers, termed anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs), regulate promoter-proximal pause release of a large subset of transcription units via long-range interactions. Brd4-dependent JMJD6 recruitment on A-PEs mediates erasure of H4R3me2(s), which is directly read by 7SK snRNA, and decapping/demethylation of 7SK snRNA, ensuring the dismissal of the 7SKsnRNA/HEXIM inhibitory complex. The interactions of both JMJD6 and Brd4 with the P-TEFb complex permit its activation and pause release of regulated coding genes. The functions of JMJD6/ Brd4-associated dual histone and RNA demethylase activity on anti-pause enhancers have intriguing implications for these proteins in development, homeostasis and disease. All Gro-seq(s) were designed to reveal the transcriptional targets of JMJD6 and Brd4, and assess the role of JMJD6 and Brd4 in Pol II promoter-proximal pause release. All ChIP-seq(s) were designed to understand the unique features, associated molecular mechanisms and functions of the anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs) discovered in the current study.

Project description:Enhancers are the key information processing units within the cardiac gene regulatory network. We have demonstrated that cardiac enhancers generate non-coding RNAs. RNA sequencing demonstrates that some of these transcripts are polyadenylated, multi-exonic long non-coding RNAs.

Pombe_polyA_mapping_NGS_v3

Project description:Regulatory elements in the 3M-^R untranslated regions (UTRs) of eukaryotic mRNAs influence mRNA localization, translation, and stability. The length of these regions is determined by the location at which mRNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated. The use of alternative polyadenylation sites is common, and can be regulated in different situations. I present here a new method to identify cleavage and polyadenylation sites (CSs) at the genome-wide level. The approach is strand-specific, avoids RNA enzymatic modification steps that can introduce sequence-specific biases, and uses molecular barcodes to ensure that every identified CS originates from an individual RNA molecule. I applied to create the first comprehensive genome-wide map of polyadenylation sites in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, comprising the analysis of over two million individual mRNAs that defined 10,422 major CSs. CSs were identified for 90% of coding genes and 15% of non-coding RNAs. Alternative polyadenylation was prevalent in both groups, with 61% and 49% of all detected genes, respectively, displaying more than one CS. The specificity of the cleavage reaction was gene-specific, resulting in highly variable levels of heterogeneity in the length of the 3' UTRs. Finally, I show that for both coding and non-coding genes the most common regulatory motif associated with CSs in fission yeast is the canonical human AAUAAA sequence.

Reconstitution of CPSF active in polyadenylation: Recognition of the polyadenylation signal by WDR33

Project description:Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF) is the central component of the 3' processing machinery for polyadenylated mRNAs in metazoans: CPSF recognizes the polyadenylation signal AAUAAA, providing sequence specificity in both pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation, and catalyzes pre-mRNA cleavage. Here we show that of the seven polypeptides that have been proposed to constitute CPSF, only four, CPSF160, CPSF30, hFip1 and WDR33, are necessary and sufficient to reconstitute a CPSF subcomplex active in AAUAAA-dependent polyadenylation, whereas CPSF100, CPSF73 and symplekin are dispensable. WDR33 is required for binding of reconstituted CPSF to AAUAAA-containing RNA and can be specifically UV-crosslinked to such RNAs, as can be CPSF30. Transcriptome-wide identification of WDR33 targets by PAR-CLIP shows that WDR33 specifically binds the AAUAAA signal in vivo in contrast to any of the five other CPSF subunits tested before. Thus, our data indicate that the CPSF subunit that is mainly responsible for recognizing the polyadenylation signal is WDR33 and not CPSF160, as suggested by previous studies.

The chromatin and regulatory properties of pluripotency-associated poised enhancers are conserved in vivo [HiChIP]

Project description:Transcriptional and phenotypic robustness during development is believed to require complex regulatory landscapes whereby multiple enhancers redundantly control the expression of major cell identity genes. In contrast, we previously described a limited and genetically distinct set of distal regulatory elements, known as poised enhancers (PEs), that control the induction of genes involved in early brain development in a hierarchical and non-redundant manner. Before becoming activated in neural progenitors, PEs are already bookmarked in pluripotent cells with unique chromatin and topological features that could contribute to their privileged regulatory properties. However, since PEs were originally identified and subsequently characterized using embryonic stem cells (ESC) as in an in vitro differentiation system, it is currently unknown whether PEs are functionally conserved in vivo. Here, we generate and mine various types of genomic data to conclusively show that the epigenetic and 3D structural features of PEs are conserved among pluripotent cells both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, by genetically disrupting evolutionary conserved PEs in mouse and chicken embryos, we demonstrate that these regulatory elements play essential and non-redundant roles during the induction of major anterior neural genes in vivo.
