Project description:Transcription and pre-mRNA alternative splicing was analyzed by in isogenic human HEK293 cell lines that inducibly express a-amanitin resistant mutants of the RNA polymerase II large subunit with slow and fast elongation rates. Alternative splicing was analyzed by, RNA-seq and RASL-seq of polyA+ RNA from a-amanitin treated cells; transcription elongation rate was analyzed by BrUTP-labelled GRO-seq of a-amanitin treated cells at time points after release from a DRB (5,6-dichloro-1-bold beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole) block.

Project description:Recent studies reveal a striking phenomenon that RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) appears to travel on gene body in an accelerated fashion, but the mechanism has remained unknown. We performed synchronized transcription coupled with deep sequencing, observing an inverse relationship between initial rate and acceleration in different cell types. We directly tested several correlative events and detected a positive contribution of the splicing commitment factor SRSF2 to Pol II acceleration, suggesting a functional benefit of co-transcriptional pre-mRNA splicing in transcription elongation. Unexpectedly, we found that perturbation of Pol II Ser2 phosphorylation had little impact on Pol II elongation or acceleration. While H3K79me2 has been positively correlated with Pol II elongation, we showed that reduction of this histone modification event actually accelerated Pol II elongation. Together, these data suggest a combined effect of gradual gain-of-competence and gradual lost-of-epigenetic barriers as the mechanism for accelerated Pol II elongation.

Project description:Complex functional coupling exists between transcriptional elongation and pre-mRNA alternative splicing. Pausing sites and changes in the rate of transcription by RNAPII may therefore have a fundamental impact in the regulation of alternative splicing. Here, we show that the elongation and splicing-related factor TCERG1 regulates alternative splicing of the apoptosis gene Bcl-x in a promoter-dependent manner. TCERG1 promotes the splicing of the short isoform of Bcl-x (Bcl-xs) through the SB1 regulatory element located in the first half of exon 2. Consistent with these results, we show evidence for in vitro and in vivo interaction of TCERG1 with the Bcl-x pre-mRNA. Transcription profile analysis reveals that the RNA sequences required for the effect of TCERG1 on Bcl-x alternative splicing coincide with a putative polymerase pause site. Furthermore, TCERG1 modifies the impact of a slow polymerase on Bcl-x alternative splicing. In support of a role for an elongation mechanism in the transcriptional control of Bcl-x alternative splicing, we found that TCERG1 modifies the amount of pre-mRNAs generated at distal regions of the endogenous Bcl-x. Most importantly, TCERG1 affects the rate of RNAPII transcription of endogenous human Bcl-x. We propose that TCERG1 modulates the elongation rate of RNAPII to relieve pausing, thereby activating the pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS 5’ splice site. ChIP-Seq

Project description:The functional consequences for alternative splicing of altering the transcription rate have been the subject of intensive study in mammalian cells but less is known about effects on splicing of changing the transcription rate in yeast. We present several lines of evidence showing that slow RNA polymerase II elongation increases both co-transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency and faster elongation reduces co transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency in budding yeast, suggesting that splicing is more efficient when co-transcriptional. Moreover, we demonstrate that altering RNA polymerase II elongation rate in either direction compromises splicing fidelity, and we reveal that splicing fidelity depends largely on intron length together with secondary structure and splice site score. These effects are notably stronger for the highly expressed ribosomal protein coding transcripts. We propose that transcription by RNA polymerase II is tuned to optimise the efficiency and accuracy of ribosomal protein gene expression, while allowing flexibility in splice site choice with the nonribosomal protein transcripts.

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is coupled to pre-mRNA splicing, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Co-transcriptional splicing requires assembly of a functional spliceosome on nascent pre-mRNA, but whether and how this influences Pol II transcription remains unclear. Here we show that inhibition of pre-mRNA branch site recognition by the spliceosome component U2 snRNP leads to a widespread and strong decrease in new RNA synthesis in human cells. Multiomics analysis reveals that U2 snRNP inhibition increases the duration of Pol II pausing in the promoter-proximal region, impairs recruitment of the pause release factor P-TEFb, and reduces Pol II elongation velocity in the beginning of genes. Our results indicate that efficient release of paused Pol II into active transcription elongation requires formation of functional spliceosomes, and that eukaryotic mRNA biogenesis relies on positive feedback from the splicing machinery to the transcription machinery.

Project description:The rate of RNA polymerase II (pol II) elongation can influence splice site selection in nascent transcripts, yet the extent and physiological relevance of this kinetic coupling between transcription and alternative splicing is not well understood. We performed experiments to perturb pol II elongation and then globally compared alternative splicing patterns with genome-wide pol II occupancy. RNA binding and RNA processing functions were significantly enriched among the genes with pol II elongation inhibition-dependent changes in alternative splicing. Under conditions that interfere with pol II elongation, including cell stress, increased pol II occupancy was detected in the intronic regions flanking the alternative exons in these genes, and these exons generally became more included. A disproportionately high fraction of these exons introduced premature termination codons that elicited nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), thereby further reducing transcript levels. Our results provide evidence that kinetic coupling between transcription, alternative splicing and NMD affords a rapid mechanism by which cells can respond to changes in growth conditions, including cell stress, to coordinate the levels of RNA processing factors with mRNA levels. In order to identify alternative splicing events influenced by changes in pol II elongation, we performed quantitative alternative splicing microarray profiling (Pan et al., 2004 (PMID 15610736); Shai et al., 2006 (PMID 16403798)) of RNA isolated from stimulated Jurkat T lymphoma cells, cultured separately in the presence or absence of two different drugs that can inhibit pol II elongation: 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole (DRB) and camptothecin.
