Project description:Integrator regulates the 3’-end processing and termination of multiple classes of noncoding RNAs. Depletion of INTS11, the catalytic subunit of Integrator, or ectopic expression of its catalytic dead enzyme impairs the 3’-end processing and termination of a set of protein coding transcripts termed Integrator-regulated termination (IRT) genes. This defect is manifested by increased RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) readthrough and occupancy of serine-2 phosphorylated RNAPII, de-novo trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3, and a compensatory elevation of the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex in the downstream regions. 3’-RNA-sequnecing reveals that proximal polyadenylation site usage relies on the endonuclease activity of INTS11. The DNA sequence encompassing the transcription end sites of IRT genes feature downstream polyadenylation motifs and an enrichment of GC content that permits the formation of secondary structures within the 3’UTR. Taken together, this study identifies a subset of protein-coding transcripts whose 3’-end processing requires the Integrator complex.

Project description:Complexes containing INTS3 and either NABP1 or NABP2 were initially characterized in DNA damage responses, but their biochemical function remained unknown. Using affinity purifications and HIV Integration Targeting-Sequencing (HIT-Seq), we find that these complexes are part of the Integrator complex, which binds RNA Polymerase II and regulates specific target genes. Integrator cleaves snRNAs as part of their processing to their mature form in a mechanism that is intimately coupled with transcription termination. However, HIT-Seq reveals that Integrator also binds to the 3’ end of replication-dependent histones and promoter proximal regions of genes with polyadenylated transcripts. Depletion of Integrator subunits results in transcription termination failure, disrupting histone mRNA processing, and leading to polyadenylation of snRNAs and histone mRNAs. Furthermore, promoter proximal binding of Integrator negatively regulates expression of genes whose transcripts are normally polyadenylated. Integrator recruitment to all three gene classes is DSIF-dependent, suggesting that Integrator functions as a termination complex at DSIF-dependent RNA Polymerase II pause sites. HITseq was used to interrogate chromatin binding sites of of proteins in the complex (including INIP, INTS3, INTS9, INTS11, NABP1, NABP2, NELFA, NELFB, NELFCD, NELFE, SPT5). These proteins were fused to LEDGF-IBD and expressed in mouse LEDGF-/-MEF cells. The fusion proteins then target HIV integration to the chromatin binding sites. The HIV integration sites were identified using linker-mediated PCR and highthroughput sequencing and serve as surrogate for chromatin binding sites. Mapping was done using mouse genome mm9.

Project description:Pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in early elongation is critical for gene regulation. Paused RNAPII can be released into productive elongation by the kinase P-TEFb or targeted for premature termination by the Integrator complex. Integrator comprises endonuclease and phosphatase activities, driving termination through cleavage of nascent RNA and removal of stimulatory phosphorylation. To probe the direct consequences of Integrator activity, we generated a degron system to rapidly deplete the Integrator endonuclease INTS11. Degradation of INTS11 elicits a nearly universal increase in RNAPII escape from promoter regions. However, these RNAPII complexes fail to achieve optimal elongation rates and reveal continued Integrator phosphatase activity. Short transcripts are thus selectively upregulated by INTS11 loss, including many non-coding RNAs, transcription factors and signaling regulators. Together, our data indicate a common function for INTS11 at all RNAPII loci, with differential effects on particular genes, pathways or RNA biotypes reflecting transcript lengths rather than Integrator specificity.

Project description:Efficient release of promoter-proximally paused Pol II into productive elongation is essential for gene expression. Recently, we reported that the Integrator complex can bind paused Pol II and drive premature transcription termination, potently attenuating the activity of target genes. Premature termination requires RNA cleavage by the endonuclease subunit of Integrator, but the roles of other Integrator subunits in gene regulation have yet to be elucidated. Here, we report that Integrator subunit 8 (IntS8) is critical for transcription repression through its association with Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A). We find that Integrator-bound PP2A dephosphorylates the Pol II C-terminal domain and Spt5, and prevents the transition to productive elongation. Blocking PP2A association with Integrator thus stimulates pause release and gene activation. These results reveal a second catalytic function associated with Integrator-mediated transcription termination, and suggest a new model for the control of productive elongation involving active competition between transcriptional kinases and phosphatases.
