Project description:The production of functional mRNA involves multiple steps including transcription initiation, elongation, and termination. spt5 encodes a conserved essential transcription elongation factor that controls RNAPII processivity in vitro and co-localizes with RNAPII in vivo. We used microarrays to detail the global expression of gene expression at 24 hours post fertilization in wild-type and Spt5 mutant (fog-sk8) to identify Spt5 transcriptionally dependent genes and affected pathways. Here we report that a mutation in zebrafish spt5, sk8, deregulates <5% of ~10,000 genes examined. These findings reveal a small but diverse set of developmentally regulated genes, whose expression is critically dependent on Spt5-regulated RNAPII stalling in vertebrate development. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from zebrafish embryos were harvested at 24 hours post fertilization for hybridization to Affymetrix gene arrays.

Project description:The Spt4-Spt5 complex, and its human homolog DSIF (DRB sensitivity-inducing factor), is unique in its ability to regulate Pol II processivity. Previous studies have shown that Spt5 has the characteristics of a general transcription-elongation factor. However, mutagenesis of Spt5 showed specific phenotypes during development, which were far less severe than those of Pol II defects or TBP deficient embryos. It seems paradoxical that a mutation which alters a general elongation factor can cause rather specific developmental defects. By using Spt5 knockdown zebrafish embryos and microarrays, here we showed that transcript abundance for only a small subset of genes is altered by loss of Spt5. Further investigation of the down-regulated genes showed that the genes most intensely repressed by the knockdown were strongly activated during early development in untreated embryos. Thus, this study shows that gene activation levels may create different requirements for Pol II processivity. Active transcription requires Spt5 for efficient elongation through its stimulatory activity on Pol II processivity. Experiment Overall Design: The expression pattern of Spt5 knockdown embryos was compared to that of the control mopholino oligo injected embryos, both at 21 hours post-fertilization, to show the targets of Spt5. The activation levels of the Spt5-knockdown affected genes were measured by compareing the abundance of transcripts in 21 hours post-fertilization untreated embryos to that in 5 hours post-fertilization untreated embryos.

Project description:Spt5 is a highly conserved RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-associated pausing and elongation factor. However, its impact on global elongation and Pol II processivity in mammalian cells has not been clarified. Here, we show that depleting Spt5 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) does not cause global elongation defects or decreased elongation rates. Instead, in the absence of Spt5, a fraction of Pol II molecules are dislodged during elongation thus decreasing the number of Pol II complexes that complete the transcription cycle. Most strikingly, this decrease is restricted to a narrow window between 15-20 kb from the promoter, a distance which coincides with the stage where accelerating Pol II attains maximum elongation speed and processivity. Consequently, long genes show a greater dependency on Spt5 for optimal elongation efficiency and overall gene expression than short genes. We propose that an important role of Spt5 in mammalian elongation is to promote the processivity of those Pol II complexes that are transitioning towards maximum elongation speed 15-20 kb from the promoter.

Project description:Deregulated expression of MYC enhances glutamine utilization and renders cell survival dependent on glutamine, inducing “glutamine addiction”. Surprisingly, colon cancer cells that express high levels of MYC due to WNT pathway mutations, are not glutamine-addicted but undergo a reversible cell cycle arrest upon glutamine deprivation. We show here that glutamine deprivation suppresses translation of endogenous MYC via the 3’-UTR of the MYC mRNA, enabling escape from apoptosis. This regulation is mediated by glutamine-dependent changes in adenosine nucleotide levels. Glutamine deprivation causes a global reduction in promoter association of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and slows transcriptional elongation. While activation of MYC restores binding of MYC and RNAPII function on most promoters, restoration of elongation is imperfect and activation of MYC in the absence of glutamine causes stalling of RNAPII on multiple genes, correlating with R-loop formation. Stalling of RNAPII and R-loop formation can cause DNA damage, arguing that the MYC 3’-UTR is critical for maintaining genome stability when ribonucleotide levels are low.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to understand the mechanistic roles of newly identified ZWC chromatin complex on the regulation of transcriptional process in actively transcribed genes. The novel ZWC complex is composed of ZC3H4, WDR82, and casein kinase II (CK2) subunits. Methods: Two biological replicates of ChIP-seq data for ZC3H4, WDR82, CK2, and SPT5 were generated from HEK293 cells. And one replicate of ChIP-seq data for RNAPII, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and H3K36me3 was generated in HEK293 cells. Two biological replicates of ChIP-seq data were generated for RNAPII, S5p RNAPII, S2p RNAPII, SPT5, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H3K27me3 after HEK293 cells were treated with control or ZC3H4 siRNAs. Results: The ZWC complex preferentially localizes at TSSs of active genes through the direct interactions of ZC3H4 and WDR82 subunits with S5p RNAPII CTD. ZC3H4 depletion leads to increased divergent antisense transcription. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that the newly identified ZWC-DSIF axis regulates the direction of transcription during the transition from early to productive elongation

Project description:Histone H2B mono-ubiquitylation (H2Bub1) and phosphorylation of elongation factor Spt5 by cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) occur during transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), and are mutually dependent in fission yeast. How Cdk9 activity and H2Bub1 cooperate to regulate the expression of individual genes remains unclear. Here we show Cdk9 inhibition or H2Bub1 loss induces intragenic antisense transcription of distinct gene subsets; ablation of both pathways derepresses antisense transcription of over half the genome. H2Bub1 and phospho-Spt5 have similar genome-wide distributions; both are enriched in coding regions, and H2Bub1 levels are directly proportional to those of phospho-Spt5. Cdk9-dependence of antisense suppression correlates with high H2Bub1 occupancy, and with promoter-proximal RNAPII pausing. Combined reduction of Cdk9 activity and loss of H2Bub1 prevent recruitment of the histone deacetylase Clr6-CII to transcribed genes, and lead to decreased histone occupancy and increased histone acetylation within gene coding regions. These results uncover new pathways linking regulators of RNAPII transcription elongation to suppression of aberrant antisense transcription, and demonstrate novel interactions between co-transcriptional histone modification pathways.

Project description:Many proteins associate with elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), although the functions of most of them are still not well understood. Spt5 is an essential transcription elongation factor that binds directly to RNA polymerase and is conserved in prokaryotes, archaea, and eukaryotes1. In eukaryotes, evidence suggests that Spt5 functions in transcription elongation by both RNA polymerases I and II, mRNA capping, mRNA splicing, and mRNA 3’ end formation2. However, the genome-wide requirement for Spt5 in transcription has not been extensively studied. To address this issue, we have comprehensively analyzed the consequences of Spt5 depletion on transcription by RNAPII in Schizosaccharomyces pombe using four genome-wide approaches: ChIP-seq, NET-seq, 4tU-seq, and RNA-seq. Our results demonstrate that, in the absence of Spt5, RNAPII accumulates at a high level over the first ~500 bp of transcription units, suggesting that Spt5 is globally required to elongate past a barrier to transcription. This possibility is strongly supported by results showing that Spt5 is required for a normal level of RNA synthesis. In addition to these effects on sense-strand transcription, Spt5 depletion results in widespread convergent antisense transcription that initiates at approximately the same position as the sense-strand barrier. While the role of these antisense transcripts is unknown, the two that were tested control the distribution of RNAPII. Our results also show that Spt5 represses divergent antisense transcription, explaining why it has not been previously observed in S. pombe. Taken together, our results reveal a global and critical role for Spt5 in multiple classes of transcription by RNAPII.
