Project description:To identify the direct targets of the Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex we compared expression profiles of isogenic wild type and paf1 and ctr9 mutant strains. We also created a Tet-regulated form of Paf1 and monitored expression patterns after shut off of Paf1. Samples were isolated at one hour intervals from 1 to 8 hours after shut off. Experiment Overall Design: Transcripts were compared on Affymetrix microarrays using standard protocols.

Project description:The control of promoter-proximal pausing and the release of RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) is a widely used mechanism for regulating gene expression in metazoans, especially for genes that respond to environmental and developmental cues. Here, we identify Pol II associated Factor 1 (PAF1) as a major regulator of promoter-proximal pausing. Knockdown of PAF1 leads to increased release of paused Pol II into gene bodies at thousands of genes. Genes with the highest levels of paused Pol II exhibit the largest redistribution of Pol II from the promoter-proximal region into the gene body in the absence of PAF1. PAF1 depletion results in increased nascent transcription and increased levels of phosphorylation of Pol II’s c-terminal domain on serine 2 (Ser2P). These changes can be explained by the recruitment of the Ser2P kinase Super Elongation Complex (SEC) effecting increased release of paused Pol II into productive elongation, thus establishing a novel function for PAF1 as a major regulator of pausing in metazoans. ChIP-seq of Pol II of different forms, SEC subunits, PAFc subunits and H2Bub in human cell lines targeted by PAF1 or scramble shRNA.

Project description:The PAF1 complex (PAF1C) functions in multiple transcriptional processes involving RNA Polymerase II (Pol II). eRNAs and PROMPTs are pervasive transcripts transcribed by Pol II and rapidly degraded by the nuclear exosome complex after 3’ endonucleolytic cleavage by the Integrator complex (Integrator). Here we show that PAF1C has an unexpected role in the termination of eRNAs and PROMPTs that are cleaved 1-3 kb downstream of the transcription start site. Mechanistically, PAF1C facilitates recruitment of Integrator to sites of pervasive transcript cleavage, promoting timely cleavage and transcription termination. We also show that PAF1C recruits Integrator to coding genes, where PAF1C then dissociates from Integrator upon entry into processive elongation. Our results demonstrate an unexpected function for PAF1C in limiting the length and accumulation of pervasive transcripts that result from nonproductive transcription

Project description:Gene expression in metazoans is regulated by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pausing and its release. Previously, we identified that Pol II-associated factor 1 (PAF1) modulates the release of paused Pol II into productive elongation. Here, we find that PAF1 occupies transcriptional enhancers and restrains hyperactivation of a subset of these enhancers. Enhancer activation as the result of Paf1 loss releases Pol II from paused promoters of nearby PAF1 target genes. Knockout of PAF1-regulated enhancers attenuates the release of paused Pol II on PAF1 target genes without major interference in the establishment of pausing at their cognate promoters. Thus, a subset of enhancers can primarily modulate gene expression by controlling the release of paused Pol II in a PAF1-dependent manner.

Project description:Viral infection is commonly associated with virus-driven hijacking of host proteins. We describe a novel mechanism by which influenza virus impacts host cells through the interaction of influenza NS1 protein with the infected cell epigenome. We show that the NS1 protein of influenza A H3N2 targets the transcription elongation PAF1 complex (hPAF1C). We demonstrate that binding of NS1 to hPAF1C results in suppression of hPAF1C-mediated transcriptional elongation. More importantly,in the following data sets, we show that hPAF1 plays a crucial role in the antiviral response. Loss of hPAF1C reduces antiviral gene expression and reduces inducible transcription of target genes after stimulation with viral RNA analogue poly(I:C), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), exogenous recombinant IFN(beta) and influenza virus (H1N1). This study underscores the importance of hPAF1C in controlling inducible antiviral gene expression. Untreated (no siRNA), control siRNA-treated and hPAF1 siRNA-treated A549 cells were stimulated with PR8/∆NS1 influenza virus (MOI 1), IFNβ1 (500U/mL) or Poly(I:C) (2ug/mL). Total RNA was isolated with the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit. 200ng of total RNA per sample was used to prepare biotin-labeled RNA using MessageAmp™ Premier RNA Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems) and hybridized to HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChips (Illumina). Data analysis was performed using the GeneSpring GX11.0 software (Agilent Technologies). 3 biological replicates per condition

Project description:Pleiotropic transcription regulator RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-associated factor 1 (PAF1) governs multiple transcriptional steps and the deposition of several epigenetic marks. However, it remains unclear how ultimate transcriptional outcome is determined by PAF1 and whether it relates to PAF1-controlled epigenetic marks. We utilize rapid degradation systems and reveal direct PAF1 functions in governing pausing partially by recruiting Integrator-PP2A (INTAC), in addition to ensuring elongation. Following acute PAF1 degradation, destabilized polymerase undergoes early termination or effective release, which presumably relies on skewed balance between INTAC and P-TEFb resulting in hyperphosphorylated substrates including SPT5. Impaired Pol II progression during elongation, along with altered pause release frequency, determines the final transcriptional outputs. Moreover, PAF1 degradation causes a cumulative decline in histone modifications. These epigenetic alterations in chromatin likely further influence the production of transcripts from PAF1 target genes.

Project description:In this study, we found that the ARF tumor suppressor directly binds the PAF1 subunit to block the assembly of PAF1 complex (PAF1c) and its interaction with RNAPII, thereby dampening PAF1c-dependent transcription in vitro and in cells. To investigate whether ARF regulates RNAPII and PAF1c occupancy at putative target genes identified through RNA-seq, we performed ChIP-seq (RNAPII, PAF1, and CTR9) in ARF (shARF) vs. control (shNT) knockdown MEFs. Our data show that loss of ARF increases RNAPII, PAF1, and CTR9 occupancy on upregulated genes, consistent with ARF-mediated gene-specific repression.

Project description:Phf5a regulates transcription elongation in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), through regulation of the Paf1 complex. In this study we assayed for genome-wide localization of Paf1, Leo1 and Cdc73 subunits of the Paf1 complex in mouse ESCs under conditions of shControl and shPhf5a knockdown. These results revealed that downregualtion of Phf5a results in the significant decrease of Paf1 complex binding to its targets in ESCs.
