Elongation Factor TFIIS Prevents Transcription Stress and R-Loop Accumulation to Maintain Genome Stability [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Connections between RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription stress, R-loops, and genome instability have been established however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we used a mutant version of elongation factor TFIIS (TFIISmut) to specifically induce increased levels of RNAPII pausing, arrest, and/or backtracking in human cells. TFIISmut expression results in slower elongation rates, relative depletion of polymerases from the end of genes, and increased levels of stopped RNAPII. It affects mRNA splicing and termination as well. Remarkably, however, TFIISmut expression also dramatically increases R-loops, which may form at the anterior end of backtracked RNAPII and trigger genome instability, including DNA strand breaks. These results shed new light on the relationship between transcription stress and R-loops, and suggest that different classes of R-loops exist, potentially with distinct consequences for genome instability.

Genome-wide changes in active RNAPII occupancy in the presence of mutated TFIIS (TFIISmut)

Project description:The expresion of dominant negative version of Arabidopsis TFIIS (TFIISmut) in plants lacking funtional TFIIS leads to severe growth defects. The genome-wide analysis of changes in active RNAPII occupancy upon TFIISmut expression was determined using ChIP-seq in order to better understand the biological importance of TFIIS. 10DAS seedlings of transgenic lines carring inducible GFP-TFIIS or GFP-TFIISmut transgenes were studied by ChIP-seq following plants exposure to 24h b-estradiol or EtOH (mock) induction.

Widespread backtracking by RNA pol II is a major effector of gene activation, 5’ pause release, termination and transcription elongation rate

Project description:In addition to phosphodiester bond formation, RNA polymerase II has an RNA endonuclease activity, stimulated by TFIIS, which rescues complexes that have arrested and backtracked. We identified backtracking sites using mNET-seq in human cells expressing dominant-negative TFIIS (TFIISDN) that inhibits RNA cleavage and stabilizes backtracked complexes. Backtracking is most frequent within 2 kb of start sites, consistent with slow elongation early in transcription, and in 3’ flanking regions where termination is enhanced by TFIISDN. Inhibition of the rescue from backtracked pol II by TFIISDN impaired the escape from 5’ pause sites, the completion of long transcripts, and activation of stress-inducible genes. TFIISDN slowed elongation rates genome-wide by half as measured by sequencing nascent transcripts pulse labeled with Bromouridine (Bru-seq) and by anti-pol II ChIP-seq at time points after release of a DRB block. These results suggest that rescue of backtracked pol II by TFIIS is a major stimulus of elongation.

Persistent backtracking by RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA polymerase II (pol II) can backtrack during transcription elongation, exposing the 3’ end of nascent RNA. Nascent RNA sequencing can approximate the location of backtracking events that are quickly resolved; however, the extent and genome wide distribution of more persistent backtracking is unknown. Consequently, we developed a novel method to directly sequence backtracked RNA. Our data shows that pol II slides backwards more than 20 nucleotides in human cells and can persist in this backtracked state. Persistent backtracking mainly occurs where pol II pauses near promoters and intron-exon junctions, and is enriched in genes involved in translation, replication, and development, where gene expression is inhibited if these events are unresolved. Histone genes are highly prone to persistent backtracking, where the accumulation and resolution of such events is required for timely expression during cell division. These results demonstrate that persistent backtracking has the potential to affect diverse gene expression programs.

The mRNA degradation factor Xrn1 regulates transcription elongation in parallel to Ccr4

Project description:During the last decade several examples of coordination between gene transcription and mRNA degradation have been reported. mRNA imprinting by Rpb4 and 7 subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and by the Ccr4-Not complex allows controlling its fate during transcription. Transcription regulation by mRNA degradation factors like Xrn1 constitutes a feedback loop that contributes to mRNA homeostasis. Mechanistic details of these phenomena are unclear. Most studies involve measurement of mRNA decay rates, usually by stressing procedures such as transcriptional shut-off or incorporation of modified nucleotides that can lead to biased results. In this work we have used the easily repressible yeast GAL1 gene to perform a genetic analysis of mRNA synthesis and degradation under physiological conditions. We combined this experimental approach with computational multi-agent modelling, testing different possibilities of Xrn1 and Ccr4-Not action in gene transcription. This double strategy brought us to conclude that Xrn1 regulates RNAPII backtracking in a Ccr4-independent manner. We validated this conclusion measuring TFIIS genome-wide recruitment to elongating RNAPII molecules. We found that xrn1∆ and ccr4∆ exhibited very different patterns of TFIIS/RNPAII which confirmed their differential role in controlling transcription elongation.
