Total RNA-Seq in WT and rrp6-delta strains of S. pombe

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have revealed that eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed by RNA polymerase II, producing a plethora of non-coding RNAs which frequently overlap protein-coding genes. Despite the fact that overlapping transcription is well known to repress transcription initiation from downstream promoters, the mechanism behind this phenomenon has remained elusive. It was proposed that transcriptional interference relies on the act of transcription rather than the RNA itself to block access of the transcription machinery to downstream promoters. Here, we use the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe to demonstrate that an RNA and chromatin-dependent mechanism is responsible for transcriptional interference. This relies on co-transcriptional recruitment of the histone deacetylase Clr3 to nascent non-coding RNA, leading to formation of hypoacetylated chromatin and repression of the downstream protein-coding gene. Our findings highlight the unexpected requirement for RNA as well as trans-acting protein factors in mediating the repressive effects imposed on gene expression through overlapping non-coding transcription.

RNA Polymerase II CTD Tyrosine 1 is Required for Efficient Termination by the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 Pathway (ChIP-chip)

Project description:Transcription termination is key to gene regulation as it prevents transcription interference with neighboring genes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, termination at protein-coding genes is coupled to the cleavage of the nascent transcript, while most non-coding RNA transcription relies on a cleavage-independent termination pathway involving Nrd1, Nab3 and the helicase Sen1 (NNS pathway). In both pathways, the recruitment of termination factors involves phosphorylated forms of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) but the contribution of individual CTD residues was never systematically investigated. Here, we investigated the impact of mutating phosphorylation sites in the CTD on termination. We observed widespread termination defects at protein-coding genes in mutants for Ser2 or Thr4 but rare defects in Tyr1 mutants for this class of genes. Instead, mutating Tyr1, or its phosphatase Glc7, led to widespread termination defects at non-coding genes known to terminate via the NNS pathway. These defects can be suppressed by slowing down transcription, suggesting that Tyr1 mediates termination via the regulation of elongation or pausing. Our work redefines the role of Tyr1 in termination at protein-coding genes in budding yeast and highlights its key role in termination by the NNS pathway.

Antisense-mediated repression of SAGA-dependent genes involves the HIR histone chaperone

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), and transcription of long non-coding RNAs often overlaps with coding gene promoters. This might lead to coding gene repression in a process named Transcription Interference (TI). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), TI is mainly driven by antisense non-coding transcription and occurs through re-shaping of promoter Nucleosome-Depleted Regions (NDRs). In this study, we developed a genetic screen to identify new players involved in Antisense-Mediated Transcription Interference (AMTI). Among the candidates, we found the HIR histone chaperone complex known to be involved in de novo histone deposition. Using genome-wide approaches, we reveal that HIR-dependent histone deposition represses the promoters of SAGA-dependent genes via antisense non-coding transcription. However, while antisense transcription is enriched at promoters of SAGA-dependent genes, this feature is not sufficient to define the mode of gene regulation. We further show that the balance between HIR-dependent nucleosome incorporation and transcription factor binding at promoters directs transcription into a SAGA- or TFIID-dependent regulation. This study sheds light on a new connection between antisense non-coding transcription and the nature of coding transcription initiation.

Road-block transcription termination by Reb1p enforces transcription boundaries

Project description: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.

Size fractionated NET-Seq reveals a conserved architecture around yeast genes

Project description:Genomes from yeast to human are subject to pervasive transcription. A single round of pervasive transcription is sufficient to alter local chromatin conformation, nucleosome dynamics and gene expression, but is hard to distinguish from background signals. Size fractionated native elongating transcript sequencing (sfNET-Seq) was developed to precisely map nascent transcripts independent of expression levels. RNAPII-associated nascent transcripts are fractionation into different size ranges before library construction. When anchored to the transcription start sites (TSS) of annotated genes, the combined pattern of the output metagenes gives the expected reference pattern. Bioinformatic pattern matching to the reference pattern identified 9542 transcription units in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, of which 47% are coding and 53% are non-coding. 3113 (33%) are unannotated non-coding transcription units. Anchoring all transcription units to the TSS or polyadenylation site (PAS) of annotated genes reveals distinctive architectures of linked pairs of divergent transcripts approximately 200nt apart. The Reb1 transcription factor is enriched 30nt downstream of the PAS only when an upstream (TSS -60nt with respect to PAS) non-coding transcription unit co-occurs with a downstream (TSS+150nt) coding transcription unit and acts to limit levels of upstream antisense transcripts. The potential for extensive transcriptional interference is evident from low abundance unannotated transcription units with variable TSS (median -240nt) initiating within a 500nt window upstream of, and transcribing over, the promoters of protein coding genes. This study confirms a highly interleaved yeast genome with different types of transcription units altering the chromatin landscape in distinctive ways, with the potential to exert extensive regulatory control.

Deletion of Clr3 restores expression of a subset of genes in gcn5- mutant cells

Project description:Histone acetylation and deacetylation is important for gene regulation. The histone acetyltransferase, Gcn5, is a known activator of transcriptional initiation that is recruited to gene promoters. Here we map genome-wide levels of Gcn5 occupancy and histone H3K14ac at high resolution. Gcn5 is predominantly localized to coding regions of highly transcribed genes where it antagonistically collaborates with the class II histone deacetylase, Clr3, to regulate histone H3K14ac levels. Regulation of histone H3k14ac levels is critical for regulation of many genes during stress adaptation. Our findings suggest a novel role for Gcn5 during transcriptional elongation in addition to its known role in transcriptional initiation. The related data for this are GSE13790 and GSE5227 Data showed expression pattern of gcn5- vs gcn5-clr3- and clr3- vs wild type under KCl stress in S. pombe. Two biological replicates are used with dye-swap labeling.
