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

ABSTRACT:

Background

The dynamic process of transcription termination produces transient RNA intermediates that are difficult to distinguish from each other via short-read sequencing methods.

Results

Here, 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.

Conclusions

Our method is applicable to establish a comprehensive termination landscape in a broad range of species.

Landscape of Transcription Termination in Arabidopsis Revealed by Single-molecule Nascent RNA Sequencing [BS-seq]

Project description:The dynamic process of transcription termination produces transient RNA intermediates, such as the full-length readthrough, 5’ and 3’ cleavage products, and polyadenylated nascent RNAs, which are difficult to distinguish from each other via short-read sequencing methods. Here, we used single-molecule nascent RNA sequencing to characterize these various forms of transient RNAs during termination at genome-wide scale in Arabidopsis. Our data revealed a wide range of termination windows (defined as the median readthrough distance) among genes, ranging from ~50 nt to over 1000 nt. The ends of termination windows precisely match the peak of Pol II occupancy and co-localize with termination factors. We also discovered a termination mechanism shaped by the downstream tRNA genes, suggesting that elongating Pol II can be expelled by Pol III activity. Mutation of the exonuclease AtXRN3 leads to a drastic accumulation of 3’ cleaved readthrough RNAs. Moreover, 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. Our results revealed the diverse termination patterns in Arabidopsis, and our method is applicable to study the global termination landscape in a broad range of species.

Single-cell nascent RNA sequencing unveils coordinated global transcription.

Project description:Transcription is the primary regulatory step in gene expression. Divergent transcription initiation from promoters and enhancers produces stable RNAs from genes and unstable RNAs from enhancers1,2. Nascent RNA capture and sequencing assays simultaneously measure gene and enhancer activity in cell populations3. However, fundamental questions about the temporal regulation of transcription and enhancer-gene coordination remain unanswered, primarily because of the absence of a single-cell perspective on active transcription. In this study, we present scGRO-seq-a new single-cell nascent RNA sequencing assay that uses click chemistry-and unveil coordinated transcription throughout the genome. We demonstrate the episodic nature of transcription and the co-transcription of functionally related genes. scGRO-seq can estimate burst size and frequency by directly quantifying transcribing RNA polymerases in individual cells and can leverage replication-dependent non-polyadenylated histone gene transcription to elucidate cell cycle dynamics. The single-nucleotide spatial and temporal resolution of scGRO-seq enables the identification of networks of enhancers and genes. Our results suggest that the bursting of transcription at super-enhancers precedes bursting from associated genes. By imparting insights into the dynamic nature of global transcription and the origin and propagation of transcription signals, we demonstrate the ability of scGRO-seq to investigate the mechanisms of transcription regulation and the role of enhancers in gene expression.

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

Project description: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.

Hold on!: RNA polymerase interactions with the nascent RNA modulate transcription elongation and termination.

Project description:Evolutionary related multisubunit RNA polymerases from all three domains of life, Eukarya, Archaea and Bacteria, have common structural and functional properties. We have recently shown that two RNAP subunits, F/E (RPB4/7)-which are conserved between eukaryotes and Archaea but have no bacterial homologues-interact with the nascent RNA chain and thereby profoundly modulate RNAP activity. Overall F/E increases transcription processivity, but it also stimulates transcription termination in a sequence-dependent manner. In addition to RNA-binding, these two apparently opposed processes are likely to involve an allosteric mechanism of the RNAP clamp. Spt4/5 is the only known RNAP-associated transcription factor that is conserved in all three domains of life, and it stimulates elongation similar to RNAP subunits F/E. Spt4/5 enhances processivity in a fashion that is independent of the nontemplate DNA strand, by interacting with the RNAP clamp. Whereas the molecular mechanism of Spt4/5 is universally conserved in evolution, the added functionality of F/E-like complexes has emerged after the split of the bacterial and archaeoeukaryotic lineages. Interestingly, bacteriophage-encoded antiterminator proteins could, in theory, fulfil an analogous function in the bacterial RNAP.

The conserved protein Seb1 drives transcription termination by binding RNA polymerase II and nascent RNA.

Project description:Termination of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is an important step in the transcription cycle, which involves the dislodgement of polymerase from DNA, leading to release of a functional transcript. Recent studies have identified the key players required for this process and showed that a common feature of these proteins is a conserved domain that interacts with the phosphorylated C-terminus of Pol II (CTD-interacting domain, CID). However, the mechanism by which transcription termination is achieved is not understood. Using genome-wide methods, here we show that the fission yeast CID-protein Seb1 is essential for termination of protein-coding and non-coding genes through interaction with S2-phosphorylated Pol II and nascent RNA. Furthermore, we present the crystal structures of the Seb1 CTD- and RNA-binding modules. Unexpectedly, the latter reveals an intertwined two-domain arrangement of a canonical RRM and second domain. These results provide important insights into the mechanism underlying eukaryotic transcription termination.
