Rpb4 functions mainly in mRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase II

ABSTRACT: RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the central enzyme that carries out eukaryotic mRNA transcription and consists of a 10-subunit catalytic core and a heterodimeric subcomplex of subunits Rpb4 and Rpb7 (Rpb4/7). Rpb4/7 has been proposed to shuttle from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and to function there in mRNA translation and degradation. Here we provide evidence that Rpb4 mainly functions in nuclear mRNA synthesis by Pol II, and evidence arguing against an important cytoplasmic role. We used metabolic RNA labeling and comparative Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (cDTA) to show that Rpb4 deletion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes a drastic defect in mRNA synthesis that is compensated by down-regulation of mRNA degradation, resulting in mRNA level buffering. Deletion of Rpb4 can be rescued by covalent fusion of Rpb4 to the Pol II core subunit Rpb2, which largely restores mRNA synthesis and degradation defects caused by Rpb4 deletion. Thus Rpb4 is a bona fide Pol II core subunit which functions mainly in mRNA synthesis.

Numerous post-translational modifications of RNA polymerase II subunit Rpb4 link transcription to post-transcriptional mechanisms

Project description:Rpb4/7 binds RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcripts co-transcriptionally and accompanies them throughout their lives. By virtue of its capacity to interact with key regulators (e.g., Pol II, eIF3, Pat1) both temporarily and spatially, Rpb4/7 regulates the major stages of the mRNA lifecycle. Here we show that Rpb4/7 can undergo over 100 combinations of post-translational modifications (PTMs). Remarkably, the Rpb4/7 PTMs repertoire changes as the mRNA/Rpb4/7 complex progresses from one stage to the next. A mutagenesis approach in residues that undergo PTMs suggests that temporal Rpb4 PTMs regulate its interactions with key regulators of gene expression that control transcriptional and post-transcriptional stages. Moreover, one mutant type specifically affects mRNA synthesis despite its normal association with Pol II, whereas the other affects both mRNA synthesis and decay; both types disrupt the balance between mRNA synthesis and decay (‘mRNA buffering’) and the cell’s capacity to respond to the environment. Taken together, we propose that temporal Rpb4/7 PTMs are involved in cross talks among the various stages of the mRNA lifecycle.

Rpb4 and Puf3 imprint and post-transcriptionally control stability of a common set of mRNAs in yeast

Project description:Gene expression involving RNA polymerase II is regulated by the concerted interplay between mRNA synthesis and degradation, a crosstalk where mRNA decay machinery impacts transcription and transcription machinery influences mRNA stability. Rpb4, and likely the dimer Rpb4/7 seem to be the central components of the RNA pol II governing these processes. In this work we unravel more precisely the molecular mechanisms participated by Rpb4 that mediates the posttranscriptional events regulating mRNA imprinting and stability. We analysed genome-wide, by RIP-seq, the association of Rpb4 with mRNAs and demonstrated that it targets a broad population of about 1400 transcripts. A group of mRNAs are also targets of the RPB, Puf3. We demonstrated that Rpb4 and Puf3, physically, genetically and functionally interact and cooperate to imprint and regulate stability of this group of mRNA. We also demonstrated, by the first time, that Puf3 associates with the chromatin, in an Rpb4-dependent manner. Our data also point to Rpb4 as the key element of the RNA pol II that interplay mRNA synthesis, imprinting and stability, in cooperation with RBPs.

Genome-associated RNA Polymerase II includes the dissociable Rpb4/7 subcomplex

Project description:Yeast RNA polymerase (Pol) II consists of a ten-subunit core enzyme and the Rpb4/7 subcomplex, which is dispensable for catalytic activity and dissociates in vitro. To investigate whether Rpb4/7 is an integral part of DNA-associated Pol II in vivo, we used chromatin immuno-precipitation coupled to high-resolution tiling microarray analysis. We show that the genome-wide occupancy profiles for Rpb7 and the core subunit Rpb3 are essentially identical. Thus, the complete Pol II associates with DNA in vivo, consistent with functional roles of Rpb4/7 throughout the transcription cycle. Keywords: ChIP-chip Comparison of Rpb3 vs. Rpb4/7 genome-wide occupancy profiles. Data obtained from independent ChIP-chip experiments on two yeast strains: S288C Rpb3TAP vs. Rpb7-TAP strain and W303 Rpb3-TAP vs. wild type strain (IP with the monoclonal antibody for Rpb4/7). Biological replicates W303 strains: 1 x Rpb3-TAP, 1 x wt with Rpb4/7 antibody, independently grown and harvested. Biological replicates S288C strains: 3 x Rpb3-TAP, 2 x Rpb7-TAP, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.

SPT5 stabilizes promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II prior to release into gene bodies

Project description:The regulation of gene expression by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a multistep process requiring the concerted action of diverse transcription factors. Very little is known about in vivo function of transcription factor SPT5 as its deletion results in loss of viability. To circumvent this issue and define in vivo mechanism of action for SPT5, we employed acute degradation of SPT5 and studied its consequence on transcription. We find that SPT5 loss triggers degradation of the core Pol II subunit RPB1, a process which we show to be evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. This RPB1 degradation requires the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cullin 3, the unfoldase VCP/p97 and a novel form of CDK9 kinase complex. SPT5 specifically stabilizes Pol II at promoter proximal regions, permitting Pol II release from promoters to gene bodies. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the in vivo function of SPT5 in stabilization of promoter-proximal Pol II prior to release into gene bodies for safeguarding accurate gene expression.

Activation of GPCR ligand binding genes revealed through degradation of RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA polymerase II drives mRNA gene expression, yet our understanding of global Pol II repression is limited. Using auxin-inducible degron, we degraded Pol II's RPB1 subunit in mESCs, resulting in global repression, yet certain genes exhibited increased RNA levels post-degradation. These genes are associated with GPCR ligand binding and are characterized by being less paused and comprising polycomb-bound short genes. RPB1 degradation globally increased KDM6B binding, which was insufficient to explain specific gene activation. In contrast, RPB2 degradation repressed nearly all genes, accompanied by decreased H3K9me3 and SUV39H1 occupancy. We observed a specific increase in serine 2 phosphorylated Pol II at Pol II degradation-upregulated genes, indicating their resistance to degradation. Additionally, a-amanitin or UV treatment resulted in RPB1 degradation and global gene repression, unveiling subsets of upregulated genes. Our findings highlight the activation of signaling genes as a potential mechanism for cells to counter global transcription shutdown during stress.

Genome wide transcriptional response to altered levels of the Rpb7 subunit of RNA polymerase II identifies its role in DNA damage response in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Project description:RNA Pol II is a highly conserved and multisubunit protein complex composed of 12 different subunits. Rpb4 and Rpb7 are small subunits and uniquely present in RNA Pol II in eukaryotes. Rpb7 is essential and highly conserved protein among all eukaryotes. However, we have a limited understanding of the functions of Rpb7 subunit. Therefore, in the present study, we have used whole genome microarrays to compare the transcriptional response of S. pombe cells expressing low levels of rpb7+ with wild type cells.

Elongation/termination factor exchange mediated by PP1 phosphatase orchestrates trancription termination

Project description:Termination of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is a key step, that is important for 3’end formation of functional mRNA, mRNA release and Pol II recycling. Even so, this underlying termination mechanism is not yet understood. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved and essential termination factor Seb1 interacts with Pol II near the end of the RNA exit channel and the Rpb4/7 stalk. Furthermore, the Seb1 interaction surface with Pol II largely overlaps with that of the elongation factor Spt5. Notably, Seb1 co-transcriptional recruitment is dependent on Spt5 de-phosphorylation by the conserved PP1 phosphatase Dis2, which also de-phosphorylates threonine 4 within the Pol II heptad repeated C-terminal domain. We propose that Dis2 orchestrates the transition from elongation to termination phase during the transcription cycle by mediating elongation to termination factor exchange and de-phosphorylation of Pol II C-terminal domain.

RNA polymerase II pausing downstream of core histone genes is different from genes producing polyadenylated transcripts

Project description:Recent genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses performed in various eukaryotic organisms, analysed RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pausing around the transcription start sites of genes. In this study we have further investigated genome-wide binding of Pol II downstream of the 3' end of the annotated genes (EAGs) by ChIP-seq in human cells. At almost all expressed genes we observed Pol II occupancy downstream of the EAGs suggesting that Pol II pausing 3' from the transcription units is a rather common phenomenon. Downstream of EAGs Pol II transcripts can also be detected by global run-on and sequencing, suggesting the presence of functionally active Pol II. Based on Pol II occupancy downstream of EAGs we could distinguish distinct clusters of Pol II pause patterns. On core histone genes, coding for non-polyadenylated transcripts, Pol II occupancy is quickly dropping after the EAG. In contrast, on genes, whose transcripts undergo polyA tail addition [poly(A)+], Pol II occupancy downstream of the EAGs can be detected up to 4-6 kb. Inhibition of polyadenylation significantly increased Pol II occupancy downstream of EAGs at poly(A)+ genes, but not at the EAGs of core histone genes. The differential genome-wide Pol II occupancy profiles 3' of the EAGs have also been confirmed in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, indicating that Pol II pauses genome-wide downstream of the EAGs in mammalian cells. Moreover, in mES cells the sharp drop of Pol II signal at the EAG of core histone genes seems to be independent of the phosphorylation status of the C-terminal domain of the large subunit of Pol II. Thus, our study uncovers a potential link between different mRNA 3' end processing mechanisms and consequent Pol II transcription termination processes.
