A function for the hnRNP A1/A2 proteins in transcription elongation

ABSTRACT: The hnRNP A1 and A2 proteins regulate processes such as alternative pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA stability. Here, we report that a reduction in the levels of hnRNP A1 and A2 by RNA interference or their cytoplasmic retention by osmotic stress drastically increases the transcription of a reporter gene. Based on previous work, we propose that this effect may be linked to a decrease in the activity of the transcription elongation factor P-TEFb. Consistent with this hypothesis, the transcription of the reporter gene was stimulated when the catalytic component of P-TEFb, CDK9, was inhibited with DRB. While low levels of A1/A2 stimulated the association of RNA polymerase II with the reporter gene, they also increased the association of CDK9 with the repressor 7SK RNA, and compromised the recovery of promoter-distal transcription on the Kitlg gene after the release of pausing. Transcriptome analysis revealed that more than 50% of the genes whose expression was affected by the siRNA-mediated depletion of A1/A2 were also affected by DRB. RNA polymerase II-chromatin immunoprecipitation assays on DRB-treated and A1/A2-depleted cells identified a common set of repressed genes displaying increased occupancy of polymerases at promoter-proximal locations, consistent with pausing. Overall, our results suggest that lowering the levels of hnRNP A1/A2 elicits defective transcription elongation on a fraction of P-TEFb-dependent genes, hence favoring the transcription of P-TEFb-independent genes. two treatements and one control

hnRNP R negatively regulates transcription by modulating the association of P-TEFb with 7SK and BRD4

Project description:The P-TEFb complex promotes transcription elongation by releasing paused RNA polymerase II. P-TEFb itself is known to be inactivated through binding to the non-coding RNA 7SK but there is only limited information about mechanisms regulating their association. Here, we show that cells deficient in the RNA-binding protein hnRNP R, a known 7SK interactor, exhibit increased transcription due to phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II. Intriguingly, loss of hnRNP R promotes the release of P-TEFb from 7SK, accompanied by enhanced hnRNP A1 binding to 7SK. Additionally, we found that hnRNP R interacts with BRD4, and that hnRNP R depletion increases BRD4 binding to the P-TEFb component CDK9. Finally, CDK9 is stabilized upon loss of hnRNP R and its association with Cyclin K is enhanced. Together, our results indicate that hnRNP R negatively regulates transcription by modulating the activity and stability of the P-TEFb complex, exemplifying the multimodal regulation of P-TEFb by an RNA-binding protein.

Identification of CDK9 targets using DRB and quantitative phosphoproteomics

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II) in higher eukaryotes. Phosphorylation of targets including the elongation factor SPT5 and the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA pol II allow the polymerase to pass an early elongation checkpoint (EEC), which is encountered soon after initiation. In addition to halting RNA polymerase II at the EEC, CDK9 inhibition also causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, suggesting that CDK9 and PP2A, working together, regulate the coupling of elongation and transcription termination to RNA maturation. Our phosphoproteomic analyses, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. CDK9 inhibition causes loss of interaction of splicing and export factors with SF3B1, suggesting that CDK9 also helps to co-ordinates coupling of splicing and export to transcription.

Integrative genome-wide analysis reveals cooperative regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNP proteins (CLIP-Seq)

Project description:Understanding how RNA binding proteins control the splicing code is fundamental to human biology and disease. Here we present a comprehensive study to elucidate how heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoparticle (hnRNP) proteins, among the most abundant RNA binding proteins, coordinate to regulate alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) in human cells. Using splicing-sensitive microarrays, cross-linking and immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing, and cDNA sequencing, we find that more than half of all AS events are regulated by multiple hnRNP proteins, and that some combinations of hnRNP proteins exhibit significant synergy, whereas others act antagonistically. Our analyses reveal position-dependent RNA splicing maps, in vivo consensus binding sites, a surprising level of cross- and auto-regulation among hnRNP proteins, and the coordinated regulation by hnRNP proteins of dozens of other RNA binding proteins and genes associated with cancer. Our findings define an unprecedented degree of complexity and compensatory relationships among hnRNP proteins and their splicing targets that likely confer robustness to cells.

Muscle Developmental Defects in Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A1 Knockout Mice

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of total RNA samples from heart tissue of knockout mice Alternative splicing is the main mechanism to increase protein diversity from an mRNA. Heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family members are vital regulators of alternative splicing. The hnRNP A1 is the most well-known protein in this family, but its role in embryonic development is not well understood. We generated hnRNP A1 knockout mice to study the function of hnRNP A1 in vivo. The hnRNP A1-depleted mice showed embryonic lethality because of muscle developmental defects. In a previous study, cellular hnRNP A2/B1 was reported to be capable of compensating for the expression of hnRNP A1. However, this phenomenon did not occur in the hnRNP A1 heterozygous mice in vivo. We demonstrated that hnRNP A1 regulated muscle-related genes expression and alternative splicing. In summary, our data demonstrated that hnRNP A1 plays a critical role in embryonic muscle development. Understanding the effects of hnRNP A1 in vivo may help to define the function of hnRNP A1 in alternative splicing.

Characterization of the SF3B1 interactome

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). As part of P-TEFb, CDK9 phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of pol II and elongation factors, including SPT5, which allows pol II to elongate past the early elongation checkpoint (EEC) encountered soon after initiation. We show that, in addition to halting pol II at the EEC, loss of CDK9 activity causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, indicating that this kinase/phosphatase pair regulates transcription elongation and RNA processing at the end of protein-coding genes. Our phosphoproteomic analyses after CDK9 inhibition, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line, confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. These results emphasize the important roles that CDK9 plays in coupling transcription elongation and termination to RNA maturation downstream of the EEC. As part of this project, we characterized the interactome of SF3B1 in HeLa cells in duplicate.

Global Run-On sequencing (GRO-seq) of HeLa cells under CDK9 inhibitor tratment to study elongation checkpoints at both ends of RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes.

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.
