Project description:Global Run-On sequencing (GRO-seq) was carried out on nuclei isolated from HeLa cells after 30 minutes of treatment with CDK9 inhibitors KM05382 and DRB and from two untreated controls. Libraries of nascent RNAs were generated and sequenced using Illumina Hi-seq technology. GRO-seq reads were processed, deduplicated, mapped to human genome and normalised to reads in the 5’ ETS of the 45S rRNA gene.

Project description:Transcription through early-elongation checkpoints requires phosphorylation of negative transcription elongation factors (NTEFs) by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 9. Using CDK9 inhibitors and global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq), we have mapped CDK9 inhibitor-sensitive checkpoints genome wide in human cells. Our data indicate that early-elongation checkpoints are a general feature of RNA polymerase (pol) II-transcribed human genes and occur independently of polymerase stalling. Pol II that has negotiated the early-elongation checkpoint can elongate in the presence of inhibitors but, remarkably, terminates transcription prematurely close to the terminal polyadenylation (poly(A)) site. Our analysis has revealed an unexpected poly(A)-associated elongation checkpoint, which has major implications for the regulation of gene expression. Interestingly, the pattern of modification of the C-terminal domain of pol II terminated at this new checkpoint largely mirrors the pattern normally found downstream of the poly(A) site, thus suggesting common mechanisms of termination.

Project description:Gene expression by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by Cyclindependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The RNAPII pausing checkpoint, engaged after transcription initiation, is controlled by CDK9 to regulate transcription in metazoans. We discovered that CDK9-mediated RNAPII pause-release is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex. PP2A dynamically competes for key CDK9 substrates, DSIF and RNAPIICTD, and is recruited to transcription pausing sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. INTS6 depletion confers resistance to CDK9 inhibition in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines. Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLLrearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

Project description:RAC1P29S is the third most prevalent hotspot mutation in sun-exposed melanoma. RAC1 alterations in cancer are correlated with poor prognosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and insensitivity to targeted inhibitors. Although RAC1P29S mutations in melanoma and RAC1 alterations in several other cancers are increasingly evident, the RAC1-driven biological mechanisms contributing to tumorigenesis remain unclear. Lack of rigorous signaling analysis has prevented identification of alternative therapeutic targets for RAC1P29S-harboring melanomas. To investigate the RAC1P29S-driven effect on downstream molecular signaling pathways, we generated an inducible RAC1P29S expression melanocytic cell line and performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) coupled with multiplexed kinase inhibitor beads and mass spectrometry (MIBs/MS) to establish enriched pathways from the genomic to proteomic level. Our proteogenomic analysis identified CDK9 as a potential new and specific target in RAC1P29S-mutant melanoma cells. In vitro, CDK9 inhibition impeded the proliferation of in RAC1P29S-mutant melanoma cells and increased surface expression of PD-L1 and MHC Class I proteins. In vivo, combining CDK9 inhibition with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade significantly inhibited tumor growth only in melanomas that expressed the RAC1P29S mutation. Collectively, these results establish CDK9 as a novel target in RAC1-driven melanoma that can further sensitize the tumor to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.

Project description:Controlled gene expression is achieved through the intricate regulation of Pol II progression through transcription-cycle checkpoints. While the contribution of CDK9 for Pol II pause-release is well established, the requirement for other CDKs has not been fully elucidated. Here we propose a new role for CDK11 in the Pol II pausing-to-elongation transition at a checkpoint that precedes and is independent from CDK9. Selective CDK11 inhibition or degradation results in acute ablation of RNA synthesis near the beginning of transcriptional units and genome-wide stalling of Pol II at TSS-proximal-regions. High-resolution chromatin-immunoprecipitation and precision-nuclear-run-on assays reveals spatial differences between CDK11- and CDK9-dependent Pol II pause sites, with CDK11 regulating Pol II upstream of the CDK9 checkpoint within the pausing zone. Cancer cells exhibit profound reliance on CDK11, with CDK11 inhibition reducing tumour burden in in vivo models of blood cancer, demonstrating the importance of CDK11-dependent Pol II regulation for aggressive haematological malignancies.
