Non-canonical Promoter Recognition in Poxviral Transcription by a TBP/TFIIB-like ring complex

ABSTRACT: The recruitment of RNA polymerase (RNAP) to gene promoters is a critical step in gene expression. For RNAP II, this process is initiated by the TATA-box binding protein (TBP) and transcription factor IIB (TFIIB), with homologs of these TBP/TFIIB pairs found in all known multi-subunit RNAP systems. Here we describe a previously unknown mode of promoter recognition by the poxviral intermediate transcription factor 3 (VITF-3). This heterodimeric factor comprises an atypical TBP/TFIIB pair forming a stable ring structure inert towards DNA in the absence of viral RNAP (vRNAP). Promoter recognition instead requires concerted VITF-3 and vRNAP binding, as revealed by cryo-EM analysis of the intermediate pre-initiation complex (iPIC). During iPIC formation, vRNAP facilitates ring opening and loading of VITF-3 onto the promoter, anchoring the polymerase at the transcription start site. Our findings propose vRNAP as a clamp loader for VITF-3 and reveal a thus far unknown transcription initiation mechanism.

Differential dependencies of human RNA polymerase II promoters on TBP, TAF1, TFIIB, and XPB.

Project description:General transcription factors (GTFs) are required for RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to initiate transcription at promoters. In this study, we determined the effects of acute depletion of TBP, TAF1, TAF4, TFIIB, and XPB in HAP1 cells. We performed precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-Seq) and quantified nascent transcripts arising from more than 70,000 promoters. The average dependencies for each factor across all promoters varied widely even though levels of depletions were similar. Many of the effects could be attributed to the presence or absence of core promoter elements. Depletion of TBP had a large effect on only a small fraction of Pol II and Pol III promoters. TFIIB depletion also led to readthrough transcription downstream of the 3′ ends of genes. We conclude that promoter activity is influenced by recruitment of TFIID, sequence-specific transcription factors, and interaction of the preinitiation complex (PIC) with the +1 nucleosome.

Identification of novel functional TBP-binding sites and general factor repertoires

Project description:We performed a comprehensive ChIP-on-chip analysis for 28 transcription factors on a large set of known and novel TBP binding sites experimentally identified via ChIP-cloning. A large fraction of identified TBP binding sites is located in introns or lacks a gene/mRNA annotation and found to direct transcription. Distinct profiles for general transcription factors and TAF-containing complexes were uncovered for RNAP II promoters located in CpG- and non-CpG islands suggesting distinct transcription initiation pathways.

Structural basis of SNAPc-dependent snRNA transcription intiation by RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) carries out transcription of both protein-coding and non-coding genes. Whereas Pol II initiation at protein-coding genes has been studied in detail, Pol II initiation at non-coding genes such as small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes is not understood at the structural level. Here we study Pol II initiation at snRNA gene promoters and show that the snRNA-activating protein complex (SNAPc) enables DNA opening and transcription initiation independent of TFIIE and TFIIH in vitro. We then resolve cryo-EM structures of the SNAPc-containing Pol II preinitiation complex (PIC) assembled on U1 and U5 snRNA promoters. The core of SNAPc binds two turns of DNA and recognizes the snRNA promoter-specific proximal sequence element (PSE) located upstream of the TATA box-binding protein TBP. Two extensions of SNAPc called wing-1 and wing-2 bind TFIIA and TFIIB, respectively, explaining how SNAPc directs Pol II to snRNA promoters. Comparison of structures of closed and open promoter complexes elucidates TFIIH-independent DNA opening. These results provide the structural basis of Pol II initiation at non-coding RNA gene promoters.

Chromatin Affinity Precipitation-chiop of B. subtilis to gain insight into the invivo dynamics of RNA polymerase

Project description:To obtain an insight into the in vivo dynamics of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on the B. subtilis genome, we analyzed the distribution of ?A and ? subunits of RNAP and the NusA elongation factor on the genome in exponentially growing cells, using the ChAP (Chromatin Affinity Precipitation)-chip method. In contrast to E. coli RNAP, which often accumulates at the promoter-proximal region, B. subtilis RNAP is evenly distributed from the promoter to the coding sequences in the majority of genes. This finding suggests that B. subtilis RNAP recruited to the promoter promptly translocates away from the promoter to form the elongation complex. We detected RNAP accumulation in the promoter-proximal regions of some genes, most of which are attributed to transcription attenuation systems in the leader region. Our findings suggest that the differences in RNAP behavior during initiation and early elongation steps between E. coli and B. subtilis result in distinct strategies for post-initiation control of transcription. The E. coli mechanism involves trapping at the promoter and promoter-proximal pausing of RNAP in addition to transcription attenuation, whereas transcription attenuation in leader sequences is mainly employed in B. subtilis. Wild-type strain, Bacillus subtilis 168, was also used for RNA and genomic DNA extraction and analysis - RNA data was divided by genome DNA data to normalize (1) PCR bias and (2) copy number of RNA molecule per genome for multi-copy genome of exponentially growing bacteria.

Comparative ChIP-chip analysis of general transcription factor TFIIB and negative cofactor NC2 in human B cells

Project description:A comparative ChIP-chip analysis of TFIIB and NC2 in human B cells reveals that basal core promoter architectures control the equilibrium between NC2 and preinitiation complexes. We conducted a comparative ChIP-chip and gene expression analysis of TFIIB in human B cells and analyze associated core promoter architectures. TFIIB occupancy relates well to gene expression, with the vast majority of promoters being GC-rich and lacking defined core promoter elements. TATA consensus and TATA-like motifs but not the previously in vitro defined TFIIB recognition elements (BREs) are enriched in approximately 5% of the genes. Further insight was obtained by performing a parallel ChIP-chip analysis of the TFIIB antagonist NC2. The latter identifies a highly related target gene set. Nonetheless, subpopulations show strong variations in TFIIB/NC2 ratios, with high NC2/TFIIB ratios correlating to promoters that show dispersed transcription start site patterns and lacking defined core elements. Conversely, high TFIIB/NC2 ratios select for conserved core promoter elements that include TATA and INR (initiator), the upstream TFIIB recognition element (BREu) and the downstream promoter element (DPE). Two biological samples from LCL 721 lymphoblastoid human B cells were subjected to ChIP-chip analysis of TFIIB and NC2 using a Nimblegen human promoter array (based on the HG17 genome build) covering 1.5 kb DNA around transcription start sites.

TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing

Project description:TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that TAF2 exhibits close proximities to RNA-binding proteins, but that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the splicing factor SRRM2. Modulation of TAF2 protein levels elicits alternative splicing (AS) events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport, some of which overlap with SRRM2-regulated AS events. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Architecture of TAF11/TAF13/TBP complex suggests novel regulatory state of human general transcription factor TFIID

Project description:General transcription factor TFIID is a key component of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation in eukaryotic nuclei. Human TFIID is a megadalton-sized multiprotein complex comprising TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). TBP binds to core promoter DNA, recognizing the TATA-box. A number of transcription regulatory factors were found to compete with DNA for TBP binding. We identified a ternary complex formed by TBP and the histone fold (HF) domain containing TFIID subunits TAF11 and TAF13. We demonstrate that TAF11/TAF13 competes for TBP binding with TATA-box DNA, and also with the N-terminal domain of TAF1. In an integrative approach combing crystal coordinates, biochemical analyses and data from cross-linking mass-spectrometry (CLMS), we determine the architecture of the TAF11/TAF13/TBP complex, revealing TAF11/TAF13 interaction with the DNA binding surface of TBP. Our results thus suggest a novel regulatory state for TFIID function.

Requirements for preinitiation complex formation in vivo

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase (Pol) II requires assembly of a preinitiation complex (PIC) composed of general transcription factors (GTFs) bound at the core promoter. In vitro, the TATA-binding protein (TBP), TFIIB, TFIIF, and Pol II are essential for PIC formation and transcriptional initiation, whereas TFIIA, TFIIE, and TFIIH are not required under certain conditions. In addition, the PIC is stable in the absence of nucleotide triphosphates, and sequential addition of GTFs results in a series of partial PICs. Here, we analyze the roles of all GTFs in yeast cells by measuring PIC formation and Pol II transcription upon depletion of individual GTFs. All GTFs are essential for TBP binding and Pol II transcription in vivo, suggesting that partial PICs composed of GTF subsets do not exist at appreciable levels. In contrast, TBP-associated factors (TAFs) contribute to Pol II transcriptional activity at most (and perhaps all) genes, but TAF-independent transcription occurs at a substantial level, particularly at promoters lacking canonical TATA elements. Lastly, unlike the case in vitro, PICs are not observed in cells deprived of uracil, and presumably UTP, suggesting a mechanism that removes transcriptionally inactive PICs from promoters.
