Metabolic enhancement of developmental pausing (embryos)

ABSTRACT: Embryonic stem (ES) cells and embryos reversibly pause via chemical mTOR inhibition. In this study, we investigate the tissue-specific response to mTORi-induced pausing in ES and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. To resolve the sequential rewiring of the proteome, we conducted a time-series proteomics experiment at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon induction of pausing, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon release of pausing in ES and TS cells. We find that ES, but not TS cells pause reversibly. To optimise developmental pausing conditions, we reasoned that by understanding the difference in pausing response of ES and TS cells, we could identify which pathways are essential for pausing. We found that KEGG pathways related to amino acid degradation, fatty acid degradation, and DNA repair are upregulated in ES cells, but downregulated in TS cells during entry into pausing. Moreover, by targeted metabolomics, we found a depletion of short chain carnitines in the paused ES cells. To extend the length of developmental pausing, we supplemented paused embryos with L-carnitine. The L-carnitine supplementation facilitates lipid usage and prolongs the pausing length by 19 days through the establishment of a more dormant state.

Promoter proximal pausing and its regulation by c-Myc in embryonic stem cells: ChIP-Seq

Project description:Recruitment of the RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription initiation apparatus to promoters by specific DNA binding transcription factors is well recognized as a key regulatory step in gene expression. We describe here evidence that promoter-proximal pausing is a general feature of transcription by Pol II in embryonic stem (ES) cells, and thus an additional step where regulation of gene expression may occur. We report here that c-Myc, which occupies a third of actively transcribed genes in ES cells and is a key regulator of cellular proliferation, binds P-TEFb and contributes to release of promoter-proximal paused Pol II at these genes. ChIP-seq data for Pol II and additional factors controlling pause release in mouse ES cells.

GAGA Factor maintains promoters in nucleosome-free conformation and allows promoter-proximal pausing [MNase]

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a widespread in higher eukaryotes. Previous studies have shown that GAF is enriched at paused genes, but the role of GAF in pausing has not been well characterized on a genome-wide level. To investigate the role of GAF in pausing, we RNAi-depleted GAF from Drosophila S2 cells, and examined the effects on promoter-proximal polymerase. We confirmed the importance of GAF for pausing on the classic pause model gene Hsp70. To determine the dependence of pausing on GAF genome-wide, we assayed the levels of transcriptionally-engaged polymerase genome-wide using GRO-seq in control and GAF-RNAi cells. We found that promoter-proximal polymerase was significantly reduced on a subset of paused genes with GAF-bound promoters. There is a dramatic change in nucleosome distribution at genes with reduction in pausing upon GAF depletion and intergenic GAF binding sites in GAF knock-down, suggesting that GAF allows the establishment of pausing at these genes by directing nucleosome displacement off of the promoter. In addition, the insulator factor BEAF, BEAF-interacting protein Chriz, and transcription M1BP enrichment on unaffected genes suggests that redundant transcription factors or insulators protect other GAF-bound paused genes from GAF knock-down effects. Three biological replicates of MNase digested chromatin from LacZ-RNAi and GAGA factor-RNAi cells.

The pausing zone and control of RNA polymerase II elongation by Spt5: implications for the pause-release model

Project description:The pause-release model of transcription proposes that pol II pauses 40-100 bases from the start site resulting in a pile-up that is relieved by subsequent release into productive elongation. Pause release is facilitated by PTEFb phosphorylation of the pol II elongation factor, Spt5. We mapped paused polymerases by eNETseq and found frequent pausing in zones that extend ~0.3-3kb into genes, even when PTEFb is inhibited. The fraction of paused polymerases or “pausiness” declines gradually over several kb, and not abruptly as predicted for a discrete pause release event. Spt5 depletion extends pausing zones suggesting that it promotes maturation of elongation complexes to a low-pausing state. Expression of mutants after Spt5 depletion showed that phosphomimetic substitutions in the Spt5 CTR1 domain diminished pausing throughout genes. In contrast mutants that prevent phosphorylation of the Spt5 RNA-binding domain strengthened pausing. Thus distinct Spt5 phospho-isoforms set the balance between pausing and elongation.

STL-seq reveals distinct pause release and termination kinetics for promoter-proximal paused RNA polymerase II transcripts

Project description:Despite the critical regulatory function of promoter-proximal pausing, the influence of pausing kinetics on transcriptional control remains an active area of investigation. Here, we present Start-TimeLapse-seq (STL-seq), a method that captures the genome-wide kinetics of short, capped RNA turnover and reveals principles of regulation at the pause site. By measuring the rates of release into elongation and premature termination through inhibition of pause release, we determine that pause-release rates are highly variable and most promoter-proximal paused RNA Polymerase II molecules prematurely terminate (~80%). The preferred regulatory mechanism upon a hormonal stimulus (20-hydroxyecdysone) is to influence pause-release rather than termination rates. Transcriptional shutdown occurs concurrently with induction of promoter-proximal termination under hyperosmotic stress but paused transcripts from TATA box-containing promoters remain stable, demonstrating an important role for cis-acting DNA elements in pausing. STL-seq dissects the kinetics of pause release and termination, providing an opportunity to identify mechanisms of transcriptional regulation.

TFIID enables RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing

Project description:RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcribes all protein-coding and many non-coding RNAs in the human genome. Pol II transcription initiation is governed by the Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), which contains TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, pol II, and Mediator. After initiation, pol II enzymes typically pause after transcribing less than 100 bases, and paused polymerases represent a common regulatory intermediate. Accordingly, paused pol II has been implicated in enhancer function, development and homeostasis, and diseases ranging from cancer to viral pathogenesis. Precisely how pol II promoter-proximal pausing is enforced and regulated remains unclear; however, protein complexes such as NELF and DSIF increase pausing whereas the activity of CDK9 (P-TEFb complex) correlates with pause release. To address specific mechanistic questions about pol II pausing and its regulation, we reconstituted human pol II promoter-proximal pausing in vitro, entirely with purified factors (no extracts). As expected, NELF and DSIF increased pol II pausing in vitro, whereas P-TEFb promoted pause release. Unexpectedly, the PIC alone was sufficient to reconstitute pol II pausing, suggesting that pausing is an inherent property of the PIC. In agreement, pol II pausing was lost upon replacement of the TFIID complex with TATA-binding protein (TBP); moreover, pausing was dependent upon TFIID subunits TAF1 and TAF2. TAF1/2 bind genomic DNA downstream of the pol II initiation site, invoking a “complex interaction” model for pausing. Consistent with this model, PRO-Seq experiments revealed increased transcription upon acute depletion (t=60 min) of TAF1 and TAF2 in human cells, and pol II pausing was disrupted at thousands of genes. Similar results were obtained in TAF1-depleted Drosophila S2 cells. Collectively, these data establish the general transcription factor TFIID as a genome-wide regulator of pol II promoter-proximal pausing.

Paused RNA polymerase II inhibits new transcriptional initiation

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pauses downstream of the transcription initiation site before beginning productive elongation. This pause is a key component of metazoan gene expression regulation. Some promoters have a strong disposition for Pol II pausing and often mediate faster, more synchronous changes in expression. This requires multiple rounds of transcription and thus cannot rely solely on pause release. But it is unclear how pausing affects the initiation of new transcripts during consecutive rounds of transcription. Using our recently developed ChIP-nexus method, we find that Pol II pausing inhibits new initiation. We propose that paused Pol II helps prevent new initiation between transcription bursts, which may reduce noise.
