Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are extensively transcribed, but unfettered transcription alters gene expression and leads to genome damage by several means. Divergent transcription occurs at active enhancers and promoters, distinct classes of cis-regulatory elements critical for precise control of gene expression. A key step in RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is promoter-proximal pausing, which occurs bidirectionally ~25-60 nucleotides downstream of transcription start sites (TSS). Promoter-proximal pause release is gated by the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb)-7SK snRNA pathway; release from 7SK allows P-TEFb phosphorylation of Pol II and subsequent elongation. The 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) is thought to reside in the nucleoplasm, but it has been suggested that 7SK could operate physically on chromatin. Notably, while enhancer transcription is one of the earliest steps of gene activation12 and some enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) participate in gene regulation, far less is known about the control of eRNA transcription. Here we show that 7SK inhibits enhancer transcription by modulating nucleosome position. 7SK occupies enhancers and super enhancers genome-wide, and 7SK is required to limit eRNA initiation and synthesis in a manner distinct from promoter pausing. Clustered elements at super enhancers uniquely require 7SK to prevent convergent transcription of colliding polymerases. 7SK inhibits enhancer transcription by modulating chromatin structure, physically interacts with the BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and is required to recruit BAF to enhancers. Thus, 7SK employs distinct mechanisms to counteract diverse consequences of pervasive transcription that distinguish super enhancers, enhancers, and promoters

Clustered elements at super enhancers uniquely require 7SK to prevent convergent transcription of colliding polymerases that lead to DNA damage. 7SK inhibits enhancer transcription by modulating chromatin structure, physically interacts with the BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and is required to recruit BAF to enhancers. In turn, 7SK occupancy at enhancers coincides with Brd4 and is exquisitely sensitive to the bromodomain inhibitor JQ1. Thus, 7SK employs distinct mechanisms to counteract diverse consequences of pervasive transcription that distinguish super enhancers, enhancers, and promoters.

Project description:Sox2 is a master transcriptional regulator of embryonic development and has been found to interact with RNA binding proteins such as the non-coding RNA 7SK. 7SK has been shown to regulate transcription at regulatory regions, which could suggest a functional interaction with Sox2 for chromatin recruitment. In this experiment, we assessed chromatin occupancy of 7SK by Chromatin Isolation by RNA Purification (ChIRP) in Sox2 depleted mES cells and found no evidence of Sox2 modulating recruitment of 7SK to chromatin.
