Principles for RNA metabolism and alternative transcription initiation within closely spaced promoters

ABSTRACT: Mammalian transcriptomes are complex and formed by extensive promoter activity. Moreover, gene promoters are largely divergent and initiate transcription of reverse-oriented promoter upstream transcripts (PROMPTs). Although PROMPTs are commonly terminated early, influenced by early polyadenylation (pA) sites, promoters often cluster so that the divergent activity of one might impact another. Here, we find that the distance between promoters strongly correlates with the expression, stability and length of their associated PROMPTs. Adjacent promoters driving divergent mRNA transcription support PROMPT formation, but due to pA site constraints, these transcripts tend to spread into the neighboring mRNA on the same strand. This mechanism to derive new alternative mRNA transcription start sites (TSSs) is also evident at closely spaced promoters supporting convergent mRNA transcription. We suggest that basic building blocks of divergently transcribed core promoter pairs, in combination with the wealth of TSSs in mammalian genomes, provides a framework with which evolution shapes transcriptomes. Mapping of paired 5â?? and 3â??ends of capped and polyadenylated RNAs from RRP40-depleted and eGFP control HeLa cells and using transcript isoform sequencing (TIF-Seq, see Pelechano et al.

Transcription of mammalian cis-regulatory elements is restrained by actively enforced early termination [4C]

Project description:Upon recruitment to active enhancers and promoters, RNA polymerase II (Pol_II) generates short non-coding transcripts of unclear function. The mechanisms that control the length and the amount of ncRNAs generated by cis-regulatory elements are largely unknown. Here, we show that the adapter protein WDR82 and its associated complexes actively limit such non-coding transcription. WDR82 targets the SET1/COMPASS H3K4 methyltransferase and the nuclear Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) complexes to the initiating Pol_II. WDR82 and PP1 also interact with components of the transcriptional termination and RNA processing machineries. Depletion of WDR82, SET1 or the PP1 subunit required for its nuclear import caused distinct but overlapping transcription termination defects at highly expressed genes, active enhancers and promoters, thus enabling the increased synthesis of unusually long ncRNAs. These data indicate that transcription initiated from cis-regulatory elements is tightly coordinated with termination mechanisms that impose the synthesis of short RNAs. 4C-seq was performed on two different viewpoints (TSSs of the genes Ccl2 and Jun) in BMDMs.

Upstream Anti-sense Promoters Act as Local Enhancers of Mammalian Protein-coding Genes

Project description:Anti-sense transcription originating upstream of mammalian protein-coding genes is a well-documented phenomenon, but remarkably little is known about the function or regulation of these anti-sense promoters or the non-coding RNAs they generate. Here we define at nucleotide resolution the divergent transcription start sites (TSSs) near mouse mRNAs. We find that coupled sense and anti-sense TSSs form the boundaries of an evolutionarily conserved and nucleosome-depleted regulatory region with dramatically enriched transcription factor (TF) occupancy. Notably, as the distance between sense and anti-sense TSSs increases, so does the level of TF binding and signal-dependent gene activation. We further discover a cluster of anti-sense TSSs in macrophages with an enhancer-like chromatin signature. Remarkably, this signature identifies promoters that are selectively and rapidly activated during immune challenge. We conclude that anti-sense TSSs can serve as potent, local enhancers of sense-strand gene expression by facilitating TF binding and deposition of activating histone modifications.

Analysis of transcription start sites from nascent RNA identifies a unified architecture of initiation at mammalian promoters and enhancers (PRO-seq)

Project description:Despite the conventional distinction between promoters and enhancers, they share many features in mammals, including divergent transcription and similar modes of transcription factor (TF) binding. Here, we examine the architecture of transcription initiation genome-wide through comprehensive mapping of transcription start sites (TSSs) in human lymphoblastoid B-cell (GM12878) and chronic myelogenous leukemic (K562) tier 1, ENCODE cell lines using a nuclear run-on protocol called GRO-cap. This method captures TSSs for both stable and unstable transcripts, thus allowing us to conduct detailed comparisons between thousands of promoters and enhancers in human cells. These analyses reveal a common architecture of initiation at both promoters and enhancers, including tightly spaced (110 bp) divergent initiation that features similar frequencies of core-promoter sequence elements, highly-positioned flanking nucleosomes, and two modes of TF binding. Transcript elongation stability, a feature determined after transcription initiation, provides a more fundamental distinction between promoters and enhancers than the relative abundance of histone modifications and the presence of TFs or coactivators. These results support a unified model of transcription initiation at both promoters and enhancers.

High-throughput functional analysis of lncRNA core promoters elucidates rules governing tissue specificity

Project description:Bidirectional transcription initiates at both coding and non-coding genomic elements, including mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) promoters and enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). However, each class has different tissue-specific expression profiles with lncRNAs and eRNAs being the most tissue-specific. How these complex differences in expression profiles and tissue-specificities are encoded in a single DNA sequence, however, remains an open question. Here, we address this question using multiple computational and experimental approaches, including massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA). As most transcription factors (TFs) are enriched near the transcription start sites (TSSs) of both promoters and enhancers, we focus our analyses on these core promoter regions. We find that divergent lncRNA and mRNA core promoters have higher capacities to drive transcription than non-divergent lncRNA and mRNA core promoters, respectively. Conversely, lincRNAs and eRNAs are more tissue-specific than divergent genes. This higher tissue-specificity is strongly associated with having less complex TF motif profiles at the core promoter. We confirm these findings using single-nucleotide deletions in MPRA and we identify specific TFs regulating a set of disease-related lncRNAs. Finally, we assess the effects of genetic variation at core promoters and find that 22% of common single nucleotide polymorphisms show significant regulatory effects. Collectively, our findings characterize the important role of core promoter sequences in determining expression levels across both coding and non-coding gene classes and highlight an unexpected role of TF motif architecture in explaining the more restricted expression patterns of lncRNAs and eRNAs.

Histone acetyltransferase 2 links H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and transcription start site-choice in African trypanosomes

Project description:Both, acetylation of histones and of histone variant H2A.Z are conserved features of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) and both features appear to be critical for correct transcription initiation. However, complex patterns of transcriptional regulation have complicated the establishment of functional links between histone acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and their importance in transcription regulation. To elucidate these links, we took advantage of the unusual genome organization in Trypanosoma brucei, a highly divergent eukaryote. In T. brucei genes are organized in long polycistronic transcription units, drastically reducing the sites of transcription initiation. Employing a highly sensitive and quantitative mass-spectrometry-based approach, we quantified the genome-wide histone acetylation and methylation pattern and identified various acetyl and methyl marks exclusively enriched at TSSs In addition, we show that deletion of histone acetyltransferase 2 results in a loss of H4 acetylation at TSSs, a loss of H2A.Z deposition at TSSs and a shift in the sites of transcription initiation. Combined, our findings demonstrate an evolutionary conserved link between histone H4 acetylation, H2A.Z deposition and RNA transcription initiation.
