Project description:Eukaryotic cells utilize several mechanisms to ensure that expression of aberrant non-coding RNAs is limited. Gene looping, chromatin modification or remodeling, and RNA surveillance contribute to ensure the fidelity of transcription and limit non-coding transcripts. We have identified that the transcription factor Rap1 is critical for limiting the expression of aberrant RNAs, particularly near the highly expressed ribosomal protein genes. Here we utilize a 5’ end RNA sequencing protocol to identify transcript TSSs at single nucleotide resolution in wild-type and Rap1 auxin-inducible degron strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:To confirm that Rap1-depletion resulted in decreased binding of Rap1 to its target sites, we performed compared Rap1 ChIP-chip experiments in respiratory cells (pre-meiotic/YPA 20 hours) depleted (plus doxycycline for 12 hours) or not depleted (minus doxycycline) of Rap1. There is growing recognition that the binding of a transcription factor near a gene does not always indicate regulatory function, and further that a single factor may function to either activate or repress its targets depending on the cellular context. We examined these issues through a series of experiments involving the S. cerevisiae transcription factor Rap1, and its function throughout critical metabolic and developmental transitions between vegetative growth, respiratory growth, meiosis and sporulation. We simultaneously monitored the expression of all genes and the genomic binding locations of Rap1 throughout the timecourse. Genes downstream of Rap1 binding were activated and repressed dynamically, but a change - or lack of change - in Rap1 binding status was not predictive of activation, repression, or no change in regulation. Despite this, we show that Rap1 is required, at a given point in time, for both activation and repression of different gene targets, within the same cell. Specification of the transcriptional consequences of Rap1 binding is thus highly promoter-specific. The presence of other transcription factor binding motifs, the subtype of Rap1 motif, and the underlying chromatin structure of the promoter cannot fully account for the observed transcriptional outcomes. There is a better accounting for the dynamic binding behavior of Rap1 including specification of an expanded meiotic target set through a Tup1- dependent nucleosome-loss mechanism. The variable and dynamic association between binding and transcription in this simple unicellular system portends a similarly volatile relationship in more complex eukaryotes. Biological interpretations of transcription factor occupancy should be made cautiously and in conjunction with supporting data obtained under the precise condition of interest.

An overnight culture of YPD was used to innoculate a YPA culture (minus doxycycline; Rap1 on). The YPA culture was grown for 8 hours and then split into minus doxycyline (Rap1 on) and plus doxycylcine (Rap1 depleted) samples. Minus and plus doxycyline samples were collected after an additional 12 hours in YPA (respiratory growth/pre-meiotic; YPA 20 hours). 6 separate biological replicates were used. Labeled ChIP DNA from Rap1 depeleted and non-depleted samples were competitively hybridized to yeast whole genome PCR based spotted arrays (resolution ~1kb). The Rap1-depletion ChIP and RNA abundance/expression analysis were carried out on the same biological samples. The three replicates of Rap1-depletion RNA abundance/expression analysis correspond to replicates 2, 3, and 5 of the Rap1-depletion Rap1 ChIP experiment.

Project description:To investigate the impact of Rap1 binding on nearby gene expression during the transition from vegetative growth to meiosis, we measured RNA abundance in cells depleted (plus doxycycline) or not depleted (minus doxycycline) of Rap1. RNA abundance was measured in depleted and non-depleted condition in respiratory cells (pre-meiotic/YPA 20 hours) and in cells undergoing synchronous meiosis/sporulation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:GRO (Genomic run-on) experiments with different mutants that affect to the accumulation of non active RNA pol II along the yeast genome. Keywords: Genomic run-on GRO There are 4 different strains: rap1-sil (without the silencing domain), RAP1(both from Graham I.R. et al 1999) and tpk1 & tpk2 mutants (Euroscarf). For each experiment there are GRO data (Transcription Rate) and gDNA data used for normalizing the GRO signals. The last number of the GRO filters correspond to the number of gDNA filters.There are 3 independent biological replicates of Rap1 and rap1-sil experiments and 2 for the tpk1 & tpk2 experiments.

Project description:Many active eukaryotic gene promoters exhibit divergent noncoding transcription, but the mechanisms restricting expression of these transcripts are not well understood. Here we demonstrate how a sequence-specific transcription factor represses divergent noncoding transcription at highly expressed genes in yeast. We find that depletion of the transcription factor Rap1 induces noncoding transcription in a large fraction of Rap1 regulated gene promoters. Specifically, Rap1 prevents transcription initiation at cryptic promoters near its binding sites, which is uncoupled from transcription regulation in the protein-coding direction. We further provide evidence that Rap1 acts independently of chromatin-based mechanisms to repress cryptic or divergent transcription. Finally, we show that divergent transcription in the absence of Rap1 is elicited by the RSC chromatin remodeller. We propose that a sequence-specific transcription factor limits access of basal transcription machinery to regulatory elements and adjacent sequences that act as divergent cryptic promoters, thereby providing directionality towards productive transcription.
