Transcriptional Pause Sites Delineate Stable Nucleosome-Associated Premature Polyadenylation Suppressed by U1 snRNP [2P-seq, Pabpn1 CKO]

ABSTRACT: Regulation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation is a critical step in gene regulation. Here, we report that U1 snRNP recognition and transcription pausing at stable nucleosomes are linked through premature polyadenylation signal (PAS) termination. By generating RNA exosome conditional deletion mouse embryonic stem cells, we identified a large class of polyadenylated short transcripts in the sense direction destabilized by the RNA exosome. These PAS termination events are enriched at the first few stable nucleosomes flanking CpG islands and suppressed by U1 snRNP. Thus, promoter-proximal Pol II pausing consists of two processes: TSS-proximal and +1 stable nucleosome pausing, with PAS termination coinciding with the latter. While pausing factors NELF/DSIF only function in the former step, flavopiridol-sensitive mechanism(s) and Myc modulate both steps. We propose that premature PAS termination near the nucleosome-associated pause site represents a common transcriptional elongation checkpoint regulated by U1 snRNP recognition, nucleosome stability, and Myc activity.

Promoter directionality is controlled by U1 snRNP and polyadenylation signals

Project description:Transcription of the mammalian genome is pervasive, but productive transcription outside of protein-coding genes is limited by unknown mechanisms. In particular, although RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiates divergently from most active gene promoters, productive elongation occurs primarily in the sense-coding direction. Here we show in mouse embryonic stem cells that asymmetric sequence determinants flanking gene transcription start sites control promoter directionality by regulating promoter-proximal cleavage and polyadenylation. We find that upstream antisense RNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated at poly(A) sites (PASs) shortly after initiation. De novo motif analysis shows PAS signals and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) recognition sites to be the most depleted and enriched sequences, respectively, in the sense direction relative to the upstream antisense direction. These U1 snRNP sites and PAS sites are progressively gained and lost, respectively, at the 5' end of coding genes during vertebrate evolution. Functional disruption of U1 snRNP activity results in a dramatic increase in promoter-proximal cleavage events in the sense direction with slight increases in the antisense direction. These data suggest that a U1-PAS axis characterized by low U1 snRNP recognition and a high density of PASs in the upstream antisense region reinforces promoter directionality by promoting early termination in upstream antisense regions, whereas proximal sense PAS signals are suppressed by U1 snRNP. We propose that the U1-PAS axis limits pervasive transcription throughout the genome. 3' end sequencing of poly (A) + RNAs in mouse ES cells with and without U1 snRNP inhibition using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (AMO). Each with two biological replicates.

mRNA polyadenylation profile analysis in control and U1 AMO treated HeLa cells

Project description:To globally assess the effect of polyadenylation site (PAS) usage upon functional knockdown of U1 snRNP, we carried out PAS-seq analysis with control and U1 AMO-treated HeLa cells using the QuantSeq Rev 3' mRNA sequencing library prep kit (Cat. 016-24).

Frac-Seq Analysis of ZFC3H1 Knockdown U2OS Cells

Project description:We have found that depletion of the zinc finger protein ZFC3H1 inhibits the nuclear retention of these RNAs. ZFC3H1 forms a complex with MTR4 and PABPN1 (the PolyAdenylation EXosome Targeting complex (Meola et al 2016, Ogami et al 2017) and likely recruits the nuclear exosome for RNA degradation. Recently, we found that depletion of U1-70K, one protein component of the U1 snRNP spliceosomal complex, inhibits nuclear retention of 5’SS motif containing RNAs. The U1 snRNP complex recognizes and binds to the 5’SS motif and in vitro studies showed that U1-70K directly interact with a similar 5’SS motif through U1 snRNA binding (Gunderson et al 1999). Interestingly, we found that U1 snRNP is involved in targeting 5’SS motif containing mRNAs to nuclear speckles shortly following RNA transcription. In contrast, ZFC3H1 is involved in nuclear speckle localization post-transcriptionally and actively retain RNAs in these structures. Together, our results suggest a model where U1 snRNP interacts with the RNA via the 5’SS motif and targets mature mRNAs to nuclear speckles. Specifically, it suggests that misprocessed RNAs can be targeted to speckles (or other nucleoplasmic foci) and that these foci serve as a platform to recruit the nuclear exosome via ZFC3H1. Our results highlight a splicing independent role of U1 snRNP and how mRNA nuclear export function in nuclear surveillance to prevent the translation of aberrant proteins.

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Spurious Transcription by Controlling Genome-Wide Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) termination for transcripts containing a polyadenylation signal (PAS) is thought to differ mechanistically from termination for PAS-independent RNAPII transcripts such as sn(o)RNAs. In a screen for factors required for PAS-dependent termination, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase known primarily for its role in PAS-independent termination. We show that Sen1 is required for termination on hundreds of protein-coding genes and suppresses cryptic transcription from nucleosome-free regions on a genomic scale. These effects often overlap with but are also often distinct from those caused by Nrd1 depletion, which also impacts termination of protein-coding and cryptic transcripts, including many genic antisense transcripts. Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and stimulates recruitment of factors previously implicated in both PAS-dependent (Rna14, Rat1) and PAS-independent (Nrd1) termination. Thus, RNAPII termination for both protein-coding genes and cryptic transcripts is dependent on multiple pathways. The 2 RNAPII datasets were produced in duplicates and the Sen1 and Nrd1 datasets in triplicates (all IP/Input).

U1 snRNP increases RNA Pol II elongation rate to enable synthesis of long genes [PAC-seq]

Project description:The expansion of introns within mammalian genomes poses a challenge for the production of full-length messenger RNAs (mRNA)s, with increasing evidence that these long AT-rich sequences present obstacles to transcription. Here, we investigate RNAPII elongation in mammalian cells at high resolution and demonstrate that RNAPII transcribes faster across introns. Moreover, we find that this acceleration is mediated by the association of U1 snRNP (U1) with the elongation complex at 5’ splice sites. The direct stimulation of elongation rate through introns by U1 reduces the occurrence of both premature termination and transcriptional arrest, thereby dramatically increasing RNA production. We further show that changes in RNAPII elongation rate due to AT-content and U1 binding explain previous reports of pausing or termination at splice junctions and the edge of CpG islands. We propose that this role for U1 has evolved to mitigate the risks that long, AT-rich intronic sequences pose to transcript completion.
