Argonaute2 attenuates active transcription by limiting RNA Polymerase II elongation in Drosophila melanogaster [ChIPseq-PolII-8WG16]

ABSTRACT: Increasing lines of evidence support that Argonaute2 (AGO2) harbors several nuclear functions in metazoa. In particular, Drosophila AGO2 modulates transcription of developmentally regulated genes; however, the molecular mechanisms behind AGO2 recruitment into chromatin and its function in transcription have not been deeply explored. In this study, we show that Drosophila AGO2 chromatin association depends on active transcription. In order to gain insight into how AGO2 controls transcription, we performed differential ChIP-seq analysis for RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) upon depletion of AGO2. Interestingly, we find specific accumulation of the elongating but not initiating form of Pol II after AGO2 knockdown, suggesting that AGO2 impairs transcription elongation. Finally, AGO2 also affects Negative Elongation Factor (CDK9) chromatin association but not the Cyclin Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9). Altogether, these results provide key insights into the molecular role of AGO2 in attenuating elongation of certain actively transcribed genes.

Characterization of the SF3B1 interactome

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). As part of P-TEFb, CDK9 phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of pol II and elongation factors, including SPT5, which allows pol II to elongate past the early elongation checkpoint (EEC) encountered soon after initiation. We show that, in addition to halting pol II at the EEC, loss of CDK9 activity causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, indicating that this kinase/phosphatase pair regulates transcription elongation and RNA processing at the end of protein-coding genes. Our phosphoproteomic analyses after CDK9 inhibition, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line, confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. These results emphasize the important roles that CDK9 plays in coupling transcription elongation and termination to RNA maturation downstream of the EEC. As part of this project, we characterized the interactome of SF3B1 in HeLa cells in duplicate.

Identification of CDK9 targets using DRB and quantitative phosphoproteomics

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II) in higher eukaryotes. Phosphorylation of targets including the elongation factor SPT5 and the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA pol II allow the polymerase to pass an early elongation checkpoint (EEC), which is encountered soon after initiation. In addition to halting RNA polymerase II at the EEC, CDK9 inhibition also causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, suggesting that CDK9 and PP2A, working together, regulate the coupling of elongation and transcription termination to RNA maturation. Our phosphoproteomic analyses, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. CDK9 inhibition causes loss of interaction of splicing and export factors with SF3B1, suggesting that CDK9 also helps to co-ordinates coupling of splicing and export to transcription.

Argonaute2 and LaminB repress transcription by controlling RNA Pol II recruitment and chromatin topology in Drosophila melanogaster (mRNA)

Project description:Although best known as core components of RNA silencing pathways in the cytoplasm, Argonautes have been shown to regulate gene expression by functioning in the nucleus. Previous work showed that Drosophila AGO2 is preferentially associated with active promoters and can activate gene expression by promoting looping to an enhancer. In order to elucidate the genome-wide role of AGO2 in regulating transcription, we performed mass spec analysis of factors that interact with AGO2 in nuclear extracts and found RNA Pol II and LaminB among the top-associated proteins. Using nascent RNA sequencing, we showed that AGO2 and LaminB co-repress transcription at borders between both LaminB-associated domains (LAD) and topologically-associated domains (TADs). Furthermore, LaminB and AGO2 specifically prevent RNA Pol II recruitment at repressed genes, and AGO2 additionally impairs the ability of RNA Pol II to extend into active elongation. Using mRNA-seq profiling, we identified a somatic target of AGO2 repression, nht, which leads to ectopic expression of spermatogenesis genes in AGO2 null mutants. Interestingly, nht is immersed in a LAD located within a repressive TAD flanked by AGO2 binding sites. 4C-seq analysis showed that depletion of either AGO2 or LaminB results in a significant decrease in frequency of interactions within the TAD as well as ectopic inter-TAD interactions. Overall, our findings reveal a coordinated function for AGO2 and LaminB in dictating the overall architecture of the genome to control the recruitment of RNA Pol II and thereby regulate gene expression.
