Road-block transcription termination by Reb1p enforces transcription boundaries

ABSTRACT: Widely transcribed and compact genomes face the major challenge of coping with frequent overlapping or concurrent transcription events. Efficient and timely transcription termination is crucial to control pervasive transcription. In yeast, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) termination mainly occurs via two pathways, one generating mRNAs and one dedicated to non-coding RNAs, and is triggered by signals that are recognized on the nascent RNA by a specific complex. We describe here a novel pathway of RNAPII transcription termination that is triggered by the binding to the DNA of the transcriptional activator Reb1p. We show that termination follows road-block induced pausing of RNAPII and requires ubiquitylation of RNAPII. The released RNAs are rapidly degraded, which defines a new class of cryptic unstable transcripts. We show that Reb1p-dependent termination can prevent transcriptional interference. This work reveals a novel role for Reb1p and a new paradigm for preserving the functional integrity of nucleosome free regions.

Integrator enforces the fidelity of transcriptional termination at protein-coding genes

Project description:Integrator regulates the 3’-end processing and termination of multiple classes of noncoding RNAs. Depletion of INTS11, the catalytic subunit of Integrator, or ectopic expression of its catalytic dead enzyme impairs the 3’-end processing and termination of a set of protein coding transcripts termed Integrator-regulated termination (IRT) genes. This defect is manifested by increased RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) readthrough and occupancy of serine-2 phosphorylated RNAPII, de-novo trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3, and a compensatory elevation of the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex in the downstream regions. 3’-RNA-sequnecing reveals that proximal polyadenylation site usage relies on the endonuclease activity of INTS11. The DNA sequence encompassing the transcription end sites of IRT genes feature downstream polyadenylation motifs and an enrichment of GC content that permits the formation of secondary structures within the 3’UTR. Taken together, this study identifies a subset of protein-coding transcripts whose 3’-end processing requires the Integrator complex.

Characterization of extended transcripts by RNA-Seq suggests that Rrp6 influences Nrd1-dependent termination

Project description:RNAPII is responsible for transcription of protein-coding genes and short, regulatory RNAs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, termination of RNAPII-transcribed RNAs ≤1000 bases requires the NNS complex (comprised of Nrd1, Nab3, and Sen1) processing by the exosome, and the nuclear specific catalytic subunit, Rrp6. It has been shown that Rrp6 interacts directly with Nrd1, but whether or not Rrp6 is required for NNS-dependent termination is unclear. Loss of Rrp6 function may result in extension (or inhibition of termination) of NNS-dependent transcripts, or Rrp6 may only function after the fact to carry out RNA 3’ end processing. Here, we performed in-depth differential expression analyses and compare RNA-sequencing data of transcript length and abundance in cells lacking RRP6 to previously published sequencing data measuring the length of RNAs in Nrd1-depleted cells. We find many transcripts that were defined as unterminated upon loss of Nrd1 activity are of similar length in rrp6Δ, and expression levels of downstream genes are significantly decreased. This suggests a similar transcription interference mechanism occurs in cells lacking either Nrd1 or Rrp6, supporting the hypothesis that Rrp6 activity is required for proper NNS termination in vivo. Four biological replicates each for deletion mutant (RRP6) and reference cells (WT)

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Spurious Transcription by Controlling Genome-Wide Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) termination for transcripts containing a polyadenylation signal (PAS) is thought to differ mechanistically from termination for PAS-independent RNAPII transcripts such as sn(o)RNAs. In a screen for factors required for PAS-dependent termination, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase known primarily for its role in PAS-independent termination. We show that Sen1 is required for termination on hundreds of protein-coding genes and suppresses cryptic transcription from nucleosome-free regions on a genomic scale. These effects often overlap with but are also often distinct from those caused by Nrd1 depletion, which also impacts termination of protein-coding and cryptic transcripts, including many genic antisense transcripts. Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and stimulates recruitment of factors previously implicated in both PAS-dependent (Rna14, Rat1) and PAS-independent (Nrd1) termination. Thus, RNAPII termination for both protein-coding genes and cryptic transcripts is dependent on multiple pathways. The 2 RNAPII datasets were produced in duplicates and the Sen1 and Nrd1 datasets in triplicates (all IP/Input).

The RNA Exosome Promotes Transcription Termination of backtracked RNA Polymerase II

Project description:Large fractions of genomes are expressed in most eukaryotic cells, generating a diverse repertoire of protein-coding and non-coding transcripts. With such complexity, and as the number of mRNA molecules per cell are often low, it is clear that errors anywhere in the gene expression process could have profound consequences on cellular functions. The exosome is a conserved RNA degradation machine that plays a fundamental role in monitoring the quality of gene expression in the nucleus. The current view is that the nuclear exosome constantly scrutinizes transcription and contributes to post-transcriptional turnover of faulty mRNAs. Yet, how nuclear RNA surveillance by the exosome is coordinated with transcription is still unknown. Here we show that the exosome can directly target the transcription machinery by terminating transcription events associated with paused and backtracked RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), contrary to the notion that the exosome acts exclusively on RNAs that have been released by RNAPII. Our data support a mechanism by which RNAPII backtracking provides a free RNA 3' end for the core exosome, resulting in transcription termination with the concomitant degradation of the associated transcript. These findings uncover a mechanism of co-transcriptional RNA surveillance whereby termination of transcription by the exosome prevents aberrant read-through RNAs and transcriptional interference at neighboring genes.

Organismal Benefits of Transcription Speed Control at Gene Boundaries

Project description:We modulate RNAPII transcription speed by point mutations in the second largest subunit of Arabidopsis RNAPII, NRPB2. Nascent transcription profiling revealed that accelerated RNAPII complexes clear stalling sites at both gene ends, resulting in read-through transcription. Accelerated nascent RNAPII transcription increased the association with 5'SS intermediates and improved splicing efficiency, supporting tight connections between transcription speed and co-transcriptional pre-RNA processing.

Localization of RNAPII and 3â end formation factor CstF subunits on C. elegans genes and operons [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcription termination is mechanistically coupled to pre-mRNA 3â end formation to prevent transcription much beyond the gene 3â end. C. elegans, however, engages in polycistronic transcription of operons in which 3â end formation between genes is not accompanied by termination. We have performed RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and CstF ChIP-seq experiments to investigate at a genome-wide level how RNAPII can transcribe through multiple poly-A signals without causing termination. Our data shows that transcription proceeds in some ways as if operons were composed of multiple adjacent single genes. Total RNAPII shows a small peak at the promoter of the gene cluster and a much larger peak at 3â ends. These 3â peaks coincide with maximal phosphorylation of Ser2 within the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNAPII and maximal localization of the 3â end formation factor CstF. This pattern occurs at all 3â ends including those at internal sites in operons where termination does not occur. Thus the normal mechanism of 3â end formation does not always result in transcription termination. Furthermore, reduction of CstF50 by RNAi did not substantially alter the pattern of CstF64, total RNAPII, or Ser2 phosphorylation at either internal or terminal 3â ends. However, CstF50 RNAi did result in a subtle reduction of CstF64 binding upstream of the site of 3â cleavage, suggesting that the CstF50/CTD interaction may facilitate bringing the 3â end machinery to the transcription complex. ChIP-seq examination of RNAPII and CstF subunits using C. elegans in duplicates.

DNA-directed termination of RNA Polymerase II transcription I

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription involves initiation from promoters, transcript elongation through the gene body, and cessation of transcription in the downstream terminator regions. In contrast to bacteria, where terminators often contain specific DNA elements to direct RNAP dissociation1, termination by RNAPII is thought to be driven entirely by protein co-factors1-3. Here we use biochemical reconstitution to shed new light on RNAPII termination. Unexpectedly, transcription through a terminator region by pure RNAPII results in a significant amount of intrinsic polymerase dissociation at specific sequences containing T-tracts. A combination of biochemistry and single molecule analysis indicates that such intrinsic termination involves pausing without backtracking prior to spontaneous RNAPII dissociation from the DNA template. Importantly, while the ‘torpedo’ Rat1-Rai1 RNA exonuclease (XRN2 in humans) works inefficiently on paused or stopped polymerases, it greatly stimulates intrinsic termination. By contrast, elongation factor Spt4-Spt5 (DSIF in humans) suppresses such termination. Genome-wide analysis in yeast using 3’-end sequencing further supports the idea that transcriptional termination occurs by transcript cleavage at the polyA site exposing a new RNA-end that allows loading of the Rat1-Rai1 torpedo, which then catches up with a destabilised RNAPII at intrinsic termination sites containing T-tracts to terminate transcription.
