Single-molecule nascent RNA sequencing identifies regulatory domain architecture at promoters and enhancers.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (Pol II) has been found at both promoters and distal enhancers, suggesting additional functions beyond mRNA production. To understand this role, we sequenced nascent RNAs at single-molecule resolution to unravel the interplay between Pol II initiation, capping and pausing genome-wide. Our analyses identify two pause classes that are associated with different RNA capping profiles. More proximal pausing is associated with less complete capping, less elongation and a more enhancer-like complement of transcription factors than later pausing. Unexpectedly, transcription start sites (TSSs) are predominantly found in constellations composed of multiple divergent pairs. TSS clusters are intimately associated with precise arrays of nucleosomes and correspond with boundaries of transcription factor binding and chromatin modification at promoters and enhancers. TSS architecture is largely unchanged during the dramatic transcriptional changes induced by heat shock. Together, our results suggest that promoter- and enhancer-associated Pol II is a regulatory nexus for integrating information across TSS ensembles.

Single-molecule nascent RNA sequencing reveals regulatory domain architecture ant promoters and enhancers

Project description:CoPRO adapts PRO-cap for paired end sequencing, and includes a total of three different libraries that were enriched for either capped nascent RNAs only, uncapped nascent RNAs only, or both. With paired end sequencing, each read tells us where an RNA polymerase molecule initiated, and then where its active site is located. Comparison of the libraries for different capping states allows us identify the precise location of pausing, and of where nascent RNAs become capped across the tens of thousands of initiation sites that we detect. The paired nature of the data enabled identification of sites of transcription initiation with unprecedented precision: we could use the pattern of pausing and elongation as a sensitive way of calling real initiation sites, and filter out termination by comparing capped and uncapped treatments. Because CoPRO maps nascent RNA, it is not affected by the post-transcriptional stability of the initiation and pausing events detected. Thus, it puts non-coding transcription (such as eRNAs and upstream divergent RNAs) on an equal footing with longer lived RNAs like mRNA and lncRNAs. With our comprehensive maps of transcription initiation, we are able to compare the architecture of initiation sites with other features of the genome. For this purpose, we chose human K562 cells for direct comparison with dozens of publically available genome-wide datasets.

Analysis of nascent RNA identifies a unified architecture of initiation regions at mammalian promoters and enhancers.

Project description:Despite the conventional distinction between them, promoters and enhancers share many features in mammals, including divergent transcription and similar modes of transcription factor binding. Here we examine the architecture of transcription initiation through comprehensive mapping of transcription start sites (TSSs) in human lymphoblastoid B cell (GM12878) and chronic myelogenous leukemic (K562) ENCODE Tier 1 cell lines. Using a nuclear run-on protocol called GRO-cap, which captures TSSs for both stable and unstable transcripts, we conduct detailed comparisons of thousands of promoters and enhancers in human cells. These analyses identify a common architecture of initiation, including tightly spaced (110 bp apart) divergent initiation, similar frequencies of core promoter sequence elements, highly positioned flanking nucleosomes and two modes of transcription factor binding. Post-initiation transcript stability provides a more fundamental distinction between promoters and enhancers than patterns of histone modification and association of transcription factors or co-activators. These results support a unified model of transcription initiation at promoters and enhancers.

Landscape of transcription termination in Arabidopsis revealed by single-molecule nascent RNA sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundThe dynamic process of transcription termination produces transient RNA intermediates that are difficult to distinguish from each other via short-read sequencing methods.ResultsHere, we use single-molecule nascent RNA sequencing to characterize the various forms of transient RNAs during termination at genome-wide scale in wildtype Arabidopsis and in atxrn3, fpa, and met1 mutants. Our data reveal a wide range of termination windows among genes, ranging from ~ 50 nt to over 1000 nt. We also observe efficient termination before downstream tRNA genes, suggesting that chromatin structure around the promoter region of tRNA genes may block pol II elongation. 5' Cleaved readthrough transcription in atxrn3 with delayed termination can run into downstream genes to produce normally spliced and polyadenylated mRNAs in the absence of their own transcription initiation. Consistent with previous reports, we also observe long chimeric transcripts with cryptic splicing in fpa mutant; but loss of CG DNA methylation has no obvious impact on termination in the met1 mutant.ConclusionsOur method is applicable to establish a comprehensive termination landscape in a broad range of species.

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.

Nascent RNA sequencing reveals widespread pausing and divergent initiation at human promoters.

Project description:RNA polymerases are highly regulated molecular machines. We present a method (global run-on sequencing, GRO-seq) that maps the position, amount, and orientation of transcriptionally engaged RNA polymerases genome-wide. In this method, nuclear run-on RNA molecules are subjected to large-scale parallel sequencing and mapped to the genome. We show that peaks of promoter-proximal polymerase reside on approximately 30% of human genes, transcription extends beyond pre-messenger RNA 3' cleavage, and antisense transcription is prevalent. Additionally, most promoters have an engaged polymerase upstream and in an orientation opposite to the annotated gene. This divergent polymerase is associated with active genes but does not elongate effectively beyond the promoter. These results imply that the interplay between polymerases and regulators over broad promoter regions dictates the orientation and efficiency of productive transcription.

Lineage-Specific Genome Architecture Links Enhancers and Non-coding Disease Variants to Target Gene Promoters.

Project description:Long-range interactions between regulatory elements and gene promoters play key roles in transcriptional regulation. The vast majority of interactions are uncharted, constituting a major missing link in understanding genome control. Here, we use promoter capture Hi-C to identify interacting regions of 31,253 promoters in 17 human primary hematopoietic cell types. We show that promoter interactions are highly cell type specific and enriched for links between active promoters and epigenetically marked enhancers. Promoter interactomes reflect lineage relationships of the hematopoietic tree, consistent with dynamic remodeling of nuclear architecture during differentiation. Interacting regions are enriched in genetic variants linked with altered expression of genes they contact, highlighting their functional role. We exploit this rich resource to connect non-coding disease variants to putative target promoters, prioritizing thousands of disease-candidate genes and implicating disease pathways. Our results demonstrate the power of primary cell promoter interactomes to reveal insights into genomic regulatory mechanisms underlying common diseases.
