Project description:ELL family transcription factors activate the overall rate of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription elongation by binding directly to Pol II and suppressing its tendency to pause. In metazoa, ELL regulates Pol II transcription elongation as part of a large multisubunit complex referred to as the Super Elongation Complex (SEC), which includes P-TEFb and EAF, AF9 or ENL, and an AFF family protein. Although orthologs of ELL and EAF have been identified in lower eukaryotes including S. pombe, it has been unclear whether SEC-like complexes function in lower eukaryotes. In this report, we describe isolation from S. pombe of an ELL-containing complex with features of a rudimentary SEC. This complex includes S. pombe Ell1, Eaf1, and a previously uncharacterized protein we designate Ell1 binding protein 1 (Ebp1), which is distantly related to metazoan AFF family members. Like the metazoan SEC, this S. pombe ELL complex appears to function broadly in Pol II transcription. Interestingly, it appears to have a particularly important role in regulating genes involved in cell separation.

Project description:The Eleven-nineteen Lysine-rich Leukemia (ELL)-containing Super Elongation Complex (SEC) containing P-TEFb is a key regulator in the expression of HOX genes in Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL)-based leukemia. We have identified an SEC-like complex in Drosophila, as well as a distinct ELL-containing complex that lacks P-TEFb and other components of SEC named the "little elongation complex" (LEC). LEC subunits are highly enriched at RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribed small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes and the loss of LEC results in decreased snRNA expression in both flies and mammals. The discovery of specificity of SEC and LEC complexes for mRNA and snRNA containing genes, respectively, suggest the presence of specific classes of elongation factors for each class of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II.

Project description:The super elongation complex (SEC) contains the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and a subcomplex, ELL2-EAF1, which stimulates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of ELL2-EAF1 bound to a Pol II elongation complex at 2.8 Å resolution. The ELL2-EAF1 dimerization module directly binds the Pol II lobe, explaining how SEC delivers P-TEFb to Pol II. The same site on the lobe also binds the initiation factor TFIIF, consistent with SEC binding only after the transition from transcription initiation to elongation. Structure-guided functional analysis shows that elongation stimulation requires the dimerization module and an ELL2 protein linker that tethers this module to the Pol II protrusion. Our results show that SEC stimulates elongation allosterically and indicate that this stimulation involves stabilization of a further closed conformation of the Pol II active center cleft.

Project description:Transcriptional regulation of developmentally controlled genes is at the heart of differentiation and organogenesis. In this study, we have performed global genomic analyses in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells and in human cells in response to activation signals. We have identified an essential role for the ELL/P-TEFbcontaining Super Elongation Complex (SEC) in the regulation of gene expression including several genes bearing paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Paused Pol II has been proposed to be associated with loci that respond rapidly to environmental stimuli. However, our studies in ES cells have also identified a requirement for SEC at genes without preloaded Pol II, which also respond dynamically to differentiation signals. Our findings suggest that SEC is a major class of active P-TEFb-containing complexes required for transcriptional activation in response to environmental cues such as differentiation signals. Examination of ELL2, AFF4, and Pol II before and after activation signals in two cell types.

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription is meticulously regulated during initiation, elongation, termination, and two pivotal transitions: from initiation to elongation and from elongation to termination 1. The successful transition from elongation to termination is vital for accurate transcription termination 2,3. While elongation and termination have been extensively studied, the regulatory mechanisms governing the transition between these stages are not fully understood. Here we report that, in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) and human cells, Cdk9 and its cyclin partner (Cyclin T in humans, and Pch1 in S. pombe) disengage from the elongation machinery near gene 3'-ends, as Pol II crosses the cleavage and polyadenylation signal (CPS). Concurrently, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) data shows an increased association of Dis2 (the PP1 ortholog in S. pombe)4 beyond the CPS. Additionally, ChIP-seq indicates that histone 2B monoubiquitylation (H2Bub1) is pivotal for Cdk9 occupancy but serves differential roles along the gene. H2Bub1 facilitates Cdk9 chromatin recruitment during elongation but prompts Cdk9 dissociation from the elongation complex as Pol II traverses the CPS. Furthermore, in S. pombe, disruptions of H2Bub1 in htb1-K119R 5 and sustained levels in ubp8D 6 inversely affect the chromatin occupancy of Pol II, Pol II CTD phosphorylation within the heptad repeats, Spt5, phosphorylated Spt5 (pSpt5), Dis2, components of the mRNA 3’-end processing complex (Pfs2 and Pla1), and termination factors Rhn1 (Rtt103) and Pcf1 around the CPS—diminishing with H2Bub1 loss and increasing with H2Bub1 stabilization. In essence, our data indicates that the H2Bub1-mediated eviction of Cdk9 as Pol II navigates the CPS precipitates a rise in PP1 binding, which, in turn, dephosphorylates pSpt5, slowing Pol II to facilitate efficient termination. The unique modulation of Cdk9 occupancy by H2Bub1 during transcription progression presents a compelling, novel concept requiring further exploration.

Project description:The small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes have been widely used as a model system for understanding transcriptional regulation due to unique aspects of their promoter structure, selectivity for either RNA Polymerase (Pol) II or III and a unique mechanism of termination that is tightly linked with the promoter. Recently, we identified the Little Elongation Complex (LEC) in Drosophila that is required for the expression of Pol II-transcribed snRNA genes. Here, we identify the molecular mechanism by which LEC specifically regulates Pol II-dependent snRNA gene transcription. We present genetic and molecular evidence from both Drosophila and mammals that LEC regulates both initiation and elongation stages of transcription of Pol II-transcribed snRNA genes. In human HCT116 cells we performed: ChIP-seq of ICE1, ICE2, ZC3H8, ELL, and AFF4; total RNA-seq following ICE1 knock-down and non-targeting (GFP) knock-down; ChIP-seq of ICE1 and Pol II following non-targetting (shGFP) and ICE1 knock-down (shICE1). In fly S2 cells we performed: Ice1 ChIP-seq following small hairpin knock-down of GFP (shGFP/non-targeting control) and Ice1 (knock-down of Ice1); ChIP-seq of Pol II following small hairpin knock-down of GFP (shGFP/non-targeting control), Ice1 (knock-down of Ice1), and Ell (knock-down of Ell).

Project description:Transcription is a multi-stage process that coordinates several steps within the transcription cycle including chromatin reorganization, RNA polymerase II recruitment, initiation, promoter clearance and elongation. Recent advances have identified the super elongation complex (SEC), containing the eleven nineteen lysine rich leukemia protein (ELL), as a key regulator of transcriptional elongation. We show here that ELL plays a diverse and kinetically distinct role prior to its assembly into the SEC by stabilizing Pol II recruitment/initiation and entry into the pause site. Loss of ELL destabilizes the PIC complexes and results in disruption of early elongation and promoter proximal chromatin structure prior to recruitment of AFF4 and other SEC components. These changes result in significantly reduced transcriptional activation of rapidly induced genes. Thus, ELL plays an early and essential role during rapid high amplitude gene expression that is required for both Pol II pause site entry and release. Total RNA for unstimulated and for simulated with EGF (50 ng/mL) for 1hr from wild type and stably induced ELL KD in HEK293 cells were isolated and purified and submitted to LMT-Affymetrix microarray facility to obtain the raw data. Affymetrix Human Exon ST1.0 platform was used for the microarray analysis. Raw data in CEL files were preprocessed using Affymetrix Expression Console software.
