Project description:Mutations in BRAT1, encoding BRCA1-associated ATM activator 1, have been associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders characterized by heterogeneous phenotypes with varying levels of clinical severity. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease pathology remain poorly understood. Here, we show that BRAT1 is a functional component of the RNA processing protein complex, Integrator. BRAT1 interacts with the INTS9/INTS11 heterodimer, the core Integrator cleavage complex that processes the 3’ ends of various non-coding RNAs and pre-mRNAs, and we find that Integrator integrity and function are disrupted by BRAT1 deletion. In particular, defects in BRAT1 impede proper 3’ end processing of UsnRNAs, snoRNAs, and replication-dependent histone mRNAs, and alter expression of protein-coding genes. Importantly, defects in Integrator integrity and function are also evident in patient-derived cells from BRAT1 related neurological disease. Collectively, these data identify BRAT1 as a functional component of Integrator and link defects in this critical endonuclease complex with hereditary neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:The Bromo-domain and PHD-finger protein, BRPF3, forms a complex with HBO1 and regulates the initiation of DNA replication. BRPF3-dependent histone H3K14 enriched in chromatin surrounding a fraction of replication origins may play an important role in origin firing. We used microarrays to evaluate whether replication defect due to the lack of BRPF3 is associated with transcriptional changes of replication genes. Human osteosarcoma U2OS cells depleted for BRPF3 were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Cells were treated with either scamble siRNA (Control_1_B1) or siRNA against BPRF3 (BRPF3_B1) for 48 hours. Two samples in a biological replica set were prepared in exactly the same way and labeled as Control_1_B2 and BRPF3_B2 respectively.

Project description:Complexes containing INTS3 and either NABP1 or NABP2 were initially characterized in DNA damage responses, but their biochemical function remained unknown. Using affinity purifications and HIV Integration Targeting-Sequencing (HIT-Seq), we find that these complexes are part of the Integrator complex, which binds RNA Polymerase II and regulates specific target genes. Integrator cleaves snRNAs as part of their processing to their mature form in a mechanism that is intimately coupled with transcription termination. However, HIT-Seq reveals that Integrator also binds to the 3’ end of replication-dependent histones and promoter proximal regions of genes with polyadenylated transcripts. Depletion of Integrator subunits results in transcription termination failure, disrupting histone mRNA processing, and leading to polyadenylation of snRNAs and histone mRNAs. Furthermore, promoter proximal binding of Integrator negatively regulates expression of genes whose transcripts are normally polyadenylated. Integrator recruitment to all three gene classes is DSIF-dependent, suggesting that Integrator functions as a termination complex at DSIF-dependent RNA Polymerase II pause sites. HITseq was used to interrogate chromatin binding sites of of proteins in the complex (including INIP, INTS3, INTS9, INTS11, NABP1, NABP2, NELFA, NELFB, NELFCD, NELFE, SPT5). These proteins were fused to LEDGF-IBD and expressed in mouse LEDGF-/-MEF cells. The fusion proteins then target HIV integration to the chromatin binding sites. The HIV integration sites were identified using linker-mediated PCR and highthroughput sequencing and serve as surrogate for chromatin binding sites. Mapping was done using mouse genome mm9.

Project description:While the role of the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely acknowledged, our comprehension of the transcriptional foundations of this prevalent neurological disorder remains largely incomplete. Here, we conducted high-depth RNA sequencing on monocytes from a cohort of patients with MS to explore rare RNA species associated with the disease. In a subset of the patients, a markedly altered transcriptome was observed, coinciding with a decreased expression of the epigenetic silencer HP1α/CBX5. These patients also exhibited diminished expression of multiple genes encoding subunits of the Integrator complex. Alongside, there were clear indications of decreased Integrator activity, including impaired U snRNA and enhancer-RNA maturation/degradation and dysregulated RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pause-release. Inactivation of Cbx5 in the mouse recapitulated the defects in Integrator activity and resulted in hypersensitivity to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). While these data implied an unexpected function for HP1α in regulating RNAPII pause-release, they also showed that the dysregulation of numerous genes in MS patients could be attributed to either the biased distribution of transcription toward the 5' end of genes or the heightened elongation and stability of enhancer RNAs. An impaired Integrator activity, which has been hinted at by mutations within Integrator subunits previously linked to an increased risk of MS, provides a well-defined mechanistic understanding of the transcriptional anomalies associated with the disease, while introducing new criteria to categorize MS patients.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) homeostasis is crucial for the post-transcriptional regulation of their target genes and miRNA dysregulation has been linked to multiple diseases, including cancer. The mechanistic steps of miRNA biogenesis are well understood at molecular level1,2. Subsequent miRNA duplex loading into members of the Argonaute (Ago) protein family, representing the core of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), is pivotal to miRNA-mediated gene silencing3-5. The Integrator complex has been previously identified as important regulator of RNA maturation, RNA polymerase II pause-release, and premature transcriptional termination, processes dependent on Integrator’s catalytical activity6-9. Here we report that absence of the Integrator complex leads to a global loss of mature miRNAs. By incorporating 4-Thiouridine (s4U) in nascent transcripts, we traced miRNA fate from biogenesis to stabilization and identified Integrator to be essential for proper miRNA assembly into RISC. Indeed, Integrator enhances miRNA-Ago2 interaction in vitro, which functionally translates to amplified miRNA target cleavage. These findings demonstrate for the first time cytoplasmic Integrator complex functions and stress an indirect role of Integrator in transcription regulation through modulation of miRNA abundance and stability.

Project description:Cellular homeostasis requires transcriptional outputs to be coordinated, and many events post transcription initiation can dictate the levels and functions of mature transcripts. To systematically identify regulators of inducible gene expression, we performed high-throughput RNAi screening of the Drosophila Metallothionein A (MtnA) promoter. This revealed that the Integrator complex, which has a well-established role in 3' end processing of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), attenuates MtnA transcription during copper stress. Integrator complex subunit 11 (IntS11) endonucleolytically cleaves MtnA transcripts, resulting in premature transcription termination and degradation of the nascent RNAs by the RNA exosome, a complex also identified in the screen. Using RNA-seq, we then identified >400 additional Drosophila protein-coding genes whose expression increases upon Integrator depletion. We focused on a subset of these genes and confirmed that Integrator is bound to their 5' ends and negatively regulates their transcription via IntS11 endonuclease activity. Many non-catalytic Integrator subunits, which are largely dispensable for snRNA processing, also have regulatory roles at these protein-coding genes, possibly by controlling Integrator recruitment or RNA polymerase II dynamics. Altogether, our results suggest that attenuation via Integrator cleavage limits production of many full-length mRNAs, allowing precise control of transcription outputs.
