Comprehensive determination of transcription start sites derived from all RNA polymerases using ReCappable-seq.

ABSTRACT: Determination of eukaryotic transcription start sites (TSSs) has been based on methods that require the cap structure at the 5' end of transcripts derived from Pol II RNA polymerase. Consequently, these methods do not reveal TSSs derived from the other RNA polymerases that also play critical roles in various cell functions. To address this limitation, we developed ReCappable-seq, which comprehensively identifies TSS for both Pol II and non-Pol II transcripts at single-nucleotide resolution. The method relies on specific enzymatic exchange of 5' m⁷G caps and 5' triphosphates with a selectable tag. When applied to human transcriptomes, ReCappable-seq identifies Pol II TSSs that are in agreement with orthogonal methods such as CAGE. Additionally, ReCappable-seq reveals a rich landscape of TSSs associated with Pol III transcripts that have not previously been amenable to study at genome-wide scale. Novel TSS from non-Pol II transcription can be located in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. ReCappable-seq interrogates the regulatory landscape of coding and noncoding RNA concurrently and enables the classification of epigenetic profiles associated with Pol II and non-Pol II TSS.

Comprehensive determination of transcription start sites derived from all RNA polymerases using ReCappable-seq

Project description:We develop a method Re-Cappable-seq for determining eukaryotic transcription start sites derived from all RNA polymerases at nucleotide resolution. In particular, this method identifies the Pol-I and Pol-III TSSs, which are missing by CAGE. Applied to human A549 cell line, our method results in the identification of 33,468 and 5,269 high confidence Pol-II and non-Pol-II TSS respectively. Re-Cappable-seq identifies Pol-II TSS with higher specificity than CAGE.

mountainClimber Identifies Alternative Transcription Start and Polyadenylation Sites in RNA-Seq.

Project description:Alternative transcription start (ATS) and alternative polyadenylation (APA) create alternative RNA isoforms and modulate many aspects of RNA expression and protein production. However, ATS and APA remain difficult to detect in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Here, we developed mountainClimber, a de novo cumulative-sum-based approach to identify ATS and APA as change points. Unlike many existing methods, mountainClimber runs on a single sample and identifies multiple ATS or APA sites anywhere in the transcript. We analyzed 2,342 GTEx samples (36 tissues, 215 individuals) and found that tissue type is the predominant driver of transcript end variations. 75% and 65% of genes exhibited differential APA and ATS across tissues, respectively. In particular, testis displayed longer 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) and shorter 3' UTRs, often in genes related to testis-specific biology. Overall, we report the largest study of transcript ends across human tissues to our knowledge. mountainClimber is available at github.com/gxiaolab/mountainClimber.

Identifying transcription start sites and active enhancer elements using BruUV-seq.

Project description:BruUV-seq utilizes UV light to introduce transcription-blocking DNA lesions randomly in the genome prior to bromouridine-labeling and deep sequencing of nascent RNA. By inhibiting transcription elongation, but not initiation, pre-treatment with UV light leads to a redistribution of transcription reads resulting in the enhancement of nascent RNA signal towards the 5'-end of genes promoting the identification of transcription start sites (TSSs). Furthermore, transcripts associated with arrested RNA polymerases are protected from 3'-5' degradation and thus, unstable transcripts such as putative enhancer RNA (eRNA) are dramatically increased. Validation of BruUV-seq against GRO-cap that identifies capped run-on transcripts showed that most BruUV-seq peaks overlapped with GRO-cap signal over both TSSs and enhancer elements. Finally, BruUV-seq identified putative enhancer elements induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment concomitant with expression of nearby TNF-induced genes. Taken together, BruUV-seq is a powerful new approach for identifying TSSs and active enhancer elements genome-wide in intact cells.

Ab initio identification of transcription start sites in the Rhesus macaque genome by histone modification and RNA-Seq.

Project description:Rhesus macaque is a widely used primate model organism. Its genome annotations are however still largely comparative computational predictions derived mainly from human genes, which precludes studies on the macaque-specific genes, gene isoforms or their regulations. Here we took advantage of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3)'s ability to mark transcription start sites (TSSs) and the recently developed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq technology to survey the transcript structures. We generated 14,013,757 sequence tags by H3K4me3 ChIP-Seq and obtained 17,322,358 paired end reads for mRNA, and 10,698,419 short reads for sRNA from the macaque brain. By integrating these data with genomic sequence features and extending and improving a state-of-the-art TSS prediction algorithm, we ab initio predicted and verified 17,933 of previously electronically annotated TSSs at 500-bp resolution. We also predicted approximately 10,000 novel TSSs. These provide an important rich resource for close examination of the species-specific transcript structures and transcription regulations in the Rhesus macaque genome. Our approach exemplifies a relatively inexpensive way to generate a reasonably reliable TSS map for a large genome. It may serve as a guiding example for similar genome annotation efforts targeted at other model organisms.

SEASTAR: systematic evaluation of alternative transcription start sites in RNA.

Project description:Alternative first exons diversify the transcriptomes of eukaryotes by producing variants of the 5' Untranslated Regions (5'UTRs) and N-terminal coding sequences. Accurate transcriptome-wide detection of alternative first exons typically requires specialized experimental approaches that are designed to identify the 5' ends of transcripts. We developed a computational pipeline SEASTAR that identifies first exons from RNA-seq data alone then quantifies and compares alternative first exon usage across multiple biological conditions. The exons inferred by SEASTAR coincide with transcription start sites identified directly by CAGE experiments and bear epigenetic hallmarks of active promoters. To determine if differential usage of alternative first exons can yield insights into the mechanism controlling gene expression, we applied SEASTAR to an RNA-seq dataset that tracked the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells. We observed dynamic temporal changes in the usage of alternative first exons, along with correlated changes in transcription factor expression. Using a combined sequence motif and gene set enrichment analysis we identified N-Myc as a regulator of alternative first exon usage in the pluripotent state. Our results demonstrate that SEASTAR can leverage the available RNA-seq data to gain insights into the control of gene expression and alternative transcript variation in eukaryotic transcriptomes.

Whole-genome Identification of Transcriptional Start Sites by Differential RNA-seq in Bacteria.

Project description:Gene transcription in bacteria often starts some nucleotides upstream of the start codon. Identifying the specific Transcriptional Start Site (TSS) is essential for genetic manipulation, as in many cases upstream of the start codon there are sequence elements that are involved in gene expression regulation. Taken into account the classical gene structure, we are able to identify two kinds of transcriptional start site: primary and secondary. A primary transcriptional start site is located some nucleotides upstream of the translational start site, while a secondary transcriptional start site is located within the gene encoding sequence. Here, we present a step by step protocol for genome-wide transcriptional start sites determination by differential RNA-sequencing (dRNA-seq) using the enteric pathogen Shigella flexneri serotype 5a strain M90T as model. However, this method can be employed in any other bacterial species of choice. In the first steps, total RNA is purified from bacterial cultures using the hot phenol method. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is specifically depleted via hybridization probes using a commercial kit. A 5'-monophosphate-dependent exonuclease (TEX)-treated RNA library enriched in primary transcripts is then prepared for comparison with a library that has not undergone TEX-treatment, followed by ligation of an RNA linker adaptor of known sequence allowing the determination of TSS with single nucleotide precision. Finally, the RNA is processed for Illumina sequencing library preparation and sequenced as purchased service. TSS are identified by in-house bioinformatic analysis. Our protocol is cost-effective as it minimizes the use of commercial kits and employs freely available software.

Mapping of transcription start sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using 5' SAGE.

Project description:A minimally addressed area in Saccharomyces cerevisiae research is the mapping of transcription start sites (TSS). Mapping of TSS in S.cerevisiae has the potential to contribute to our understanding of gene regulation, transcription, mRNA stability and aspects of RNA biology. Here, we use 5' SAGE to map 5' TSS in S.cerevisiae. Tags identifying the first 15-17 bases of the transcripts are created, ligated to form ditags, amplified, concatemerized and ligated into a vector to create a library. Each clone sequenced from this library identifies 10-20 TSS. We have identified 13,746 unique, unambiguous sequence tags from 2231 S.cerevisiae genes. TSS identified in this study are consistent with published results, with primer extension results described here, and are consistent with expectations based on previous work on transcription initiation. We have aligned the sequence flanking 4637 TSS to identify the consensus sequence A(A(rich))5NPyA(A/T)NN(A(rich))6, which confirms and expands the previous reported PyA(A/T)Pu consensus pattern. The TSS data allowed the identification of a previously unrecognized gene, uncovered errors in previous annotation, and identified potential regulatory RNAs and upstream open reading frames in 5'-untranslated region.

Local features determine Ty3 targeting frequency at RNA polymerase III transcription start sites.

Project description:Retroelement integration into host genomes affects chromosome structure and function. A goal of a considerable number of investigations is to elucidate features influencing insertion site selection. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ty3 retrotransposon inserts proximal to the transcription start sites (TSS) of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III (RNAP3). In this study, differential patterns of insertion were profiled genome-wide using a random barcode-tagged Ty3. Saturation transposition showed that tRNA genes (tDNAs) are targeted at widely different frequencies even within isoacceptor families. Ectopic expression of Ty3 integrase (IN) showed that it localized to targets independent of other Ty3 proteins and cDNA. IN, RNAP3, and transcription factor Brf1 were enriched at tDNA targets with high frequencies of transposition. To examine potential effects of cis-acting DNA features on transposition, targeting was tested on high-copy plasmids with restricted amounts of 5' flanking sequence plus tDNA. Relative activity of targets was reconstituted in these constructions. Weighting of genomic insertions according to frequency identified an A/T-rich sequence followed by C as the dominant site of strand transfer. This site lies immediately adjacent to the adenines previously implicated in the RNAP3 TSS motif (CAA). In silico DNA structural analysis upstream of this motif showed that targets with elevated DNA curvature coincide with reduced integration. We propose that integration mediated by the Ty3 intasome complex (IN and cDNA) is subject to inputs from a combination of host factor occupancy and insertion site architecture, and that this results in the wide range of Ty3 targeting frequencies.

RNA polymerase II-independent recruitment of SPT6L at transcription start sites in Arabidopsis.

Project description:SPT6 is a conserved elongation factor that is associated with phosphorylated RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription. Recent transcriptome analysis in yeast mutants revealed its potential role in the control of transcription initiation at genic promoters. However, the mechanism by which this is achieved and how this is linked to elongation remains to be elucidated. Here, we present the genome-wide occupancy of Arabidopsis SPT6-like (SPT6L) and demonstrate its conserved role in facilitating RNAPII occupancy across transcribed genes. We also further demonstrate that SPT6L enrichment is unexpectedly shifted, from gene body to transcription start site (TSS), when its association with RNAPII is disrupted. Protein domains, required for proper function and enrichment of SPT6L on chromatin, are subsequently identified. Finally, our results suggest that recruitment of SPT6L at TSS is indispensable for its spreading along the gene body during transcription. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying SPT6L recruitment in transcription and shed light on the coordination between transcription initiation and elongation.
