Project description:A set of 22 expts. aimed at identifying splicing events dependent upon on the Spt4-5 transcription elongation factors in yeast. Four spt mutants and an mRNA capping mutant were analyzed four times each, including biological and technical (dye-swap) replicates. Two wt vs wt expts. were also performed.

Project description:Archaeal transcription is carried out by a multi-subunit RNA polymerase (RNAP) that is highly homologous in structure and function to eukaryotic RNAP II. Among the set of basal transcription factors, only Spt5 is found in all domains of life but Spt5 has been shaped during evolution, which is also reflected in the heterodimerization of Spt5 with Spt4 in Archaea and Eukaryotes. To unravel the mechanistic basis of Spt4/5 function in Archaea, we performed structure-function analyses using the archaeal transcriptional machinery Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu). We report single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of apo RNAP and the archaeal elongation complex (EC) in the absence and presence of Spt4/5 . Surprisingly, Pfu Spt4/5 also binds the RNAP in the absence of nucleic acids in a distinct super-contracted conformation. We show that the RNAP clamp/stalk module exhibits conformational flexibility in the apo state of RNAP and that the enzyme contracts upon EC formation or Spt4/5 engagement. We furthermore identified a contact of the Spt5-NGN domain with the DNA duplex that stabilizes the upstream boundary of the transcription bubble and impacts Spt4/5 activity in vitro. This study, therefore, provides the structural basis for Spt4/5 function in archaeal transcription and reveals a potential role beyond the well-described support of elongation.

Project description:To study the relevance of the phosphorylation of Spt4 in residues T42 and S43, we assessed the genome-wide transcriptional response of the non-phosphorylatable Spt4-T42A/S43A mutant (Spt4-AA) upon osmotic stress. Results point out that the unphosphorylatable Spt4-T42A/S43A protein showed an impaired stress responsive gene expression indicating that these specific residues play a relevant role in osmotic stress responsive transcriptional regulation.

Project description:Transcription of mRNA products by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a multi-stage event subject to a multitude of regulatory processes. Transcription, RNA processing, and chromatin related factors all interact with Pol II to ensure proper timing and coordination of transcription and co-transcriptional processes. Many regulators must function simultaneously to coordinate these processes, yet few strategies exist to explore the full complement of factors regulating specific stages of transcription. To this end we developed a strategy to purify Pol II elongation complexes from specific loci of a single gene, namely the 5′ and 3′ regions, using sequences in the nascent RNA. Applying this strategy to Saccharomyces cerevisiae we determined the specific set of factors that interact with Pol II at precise stages during transcription. We identify many known region-specific factors as well as determine a role for the transcription termination factor Rai1 in regulating the early stages of transcription genome-wide. We also demonstrate a role for the ubiquitin ligase Bre1 in regulating Pol II dynamics during the latter stages of transcription. This strategy for gene and loci-specific isolation of transcription complexes will provide a useful tool to explore the host of factors that regulate the different stages of transcription and coordinate co-transcriptional processes.

Project description:Spn1/Iws1 is an essential eukaryotic transcription elongation factor that is conserved from yeast to humans. Several studies have shown that Spn1 functions as a histone chaperone to control transcription, RNA splicing, genome stability, and histone modifications as an integral member of the RNA polymerase II elongation complex. However, the precise role of Spn1 is not understood, and there is little understanding of why it is essential for viability. To address these issues, we have isolated eight suppressor mutations that bypass the essential requirement for Spn1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Unexpectedly, the suppressors identify several functionally distinct complexes and activities, including the histone chaperone FACT, the histone methyltransferase Set2, the Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex, the histone acetyltransferase Rtt109, the nucleosome remodeler Chd1, and a member of the SAGA co-activator complex, Sgf73. The identification of these distinct groups and their analysis suggests that there are multiple mechanisms by which Spn1 bypass can occur, including changes in histone acetylation and alterations of other histone chaperones. Thus, Spn1 may participate in multiple functions during transcription. Our results suggest that bypass of a subset of these functions allows viability in the absence of Spn1.
