Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7), part of the general transcription factor TFIIH, promotes gene transcription by phosphorylating the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). Here, we combine rapid CDK7 kinase inhibition with multi-omics analysis to unravel the direct functions of CDK7 in human cells. CDK7 inhibition causes RNA Pol II retention at promoters, leading to decreased RNA Pol II initiation and immediate global downregulation of transcript synthesis. Elongation, termination, and recruitment of co-transcriptional factors are not directly affected. Although RNA Pol II, initiation factors, and Mediator accumulate at promoters, RNA Pol II complexes can also proceed into gene bodies without promoter-proximal pausing while retaining initiation factors and Mediator. Further downstream, RNA Pol II phosphorylation increases and initiation factors and Mediator are released, allowing recruitment of elongation factors and an increase in RNA Pol II elongation velocity. Collectively, CDK7 kinase activity promotes the release of initiation factors and Mediator from RNA Pol II, facilitating RNA Pol II escape from the promoter.

Project description:CDK7 regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiation, elongation, and termination through incompletely-defined mechanisms. Biochemical reconstitution of RNAPII transcription initiation showed that CDK7 inhibition suppressed RNAPII activity by blocking promoter escape and re-initiation and this was Mediator- and TFIID-dependent. These in vitro results were consistent with genomics and transcriptomics experiments in human cells; CDK7 inhibition globally reduced transcription and increased RNAPII promoter-proximal pausing. Moreover, we observed termination defects in CDK7-inhibited cells; unexpectedly, this coincided with rapid, widespread degradation of elongation and 3'-end processing factors. Collectively, these mechanistic insights further define how CDK7 kinase activity regulates RNAPII initiation, termination, and RNA processing.

Project description:CDK7 regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiation, elongation, and termination through incompletely understood mechanisms. Because contaminating kinases precluded CDK7 analysis with nuclear extracts, we completed biochemical assays with purified factors. Reconstitution of RNAPII transcription initiation showed CDK7 inhibition slowed and/or paused RNAPII promoterproximal transcription, which reduced re-initiation. These CDK7-regulatory functions were Mediator- and TFIID-dependent. Similarly in human cells, CDK7 inhibition reduced transcription by suppressing RNAPII activity at promoters, consistent with reduced initiation and/or re-initiation. Moreover, widespread 3'-end readthrough transcription was observed in CDK7-inhibited cells; mechanistically, this occurred through rapid nuclear depletion of RNAPII elongation and termination factors, including high-confidence CDK7 targets. Collectively, these results define how CDK7 governs RNAPII function at gene 5'-ends and 3'-ends, and reveal that nuclear abundance of elongation and termination factors is kinase-dependent. Because 3'-readthrough transcription is commonly induced during stress, our results further suggest regulated suppression of CDK7 activity may enable this RNAPII transcriptional response.

Project description:In this study we perform precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-seq) to measure the altered transcriptional response upon CDK7 inhibition or RNA-seq to elucidate the response of CDK7 inhibition on steady-state RNA. We performed a heat shock time course in PRO-seq with and without the Syros CDK7 inhibitor SY5609. Matching this data we performed three deeply sequenced RNA-seq experiments with SY5609 that include no heat shock, heat shock with recovery and long heat shock with no recovery. We additionally generated two more RNA-seq datasets in heat shock conditions with another Syros inhibitor, SY5102 and in a CDK7-analog sensitive OV90 cell line treated with 3MBPP1.
