Replication-fork arrest at tRNA genes in S. cerevisiae does not require tRNA transcription and is facilitated by topoisomerases and Rad18-dependent repair pathways

ABSTRACT: tRNA genes (tDNAs) are widely studied sites of replication-fork arrest and genome instability in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. tDNAs are extremely highly transcribed, and serve as constitutive condensin binding sites. Although tRNA transcription by RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) has previously been identified as stimulating replication-fork arrest at these loci, the nature of the block to replication has not been incontrovertibly demonstrated. Here, we describe a systematic, genome-wide analysis of the contributions of transcription factor binding, transcription, topoisomerase activity, and condensin-mediated clustering to replication-fork arrest at tDNAs in yeast. We show that a polar block to replication is maintained at tDNAs even when tRNA transcription is abolished by depletion of one or more subunits of RNAPIII. By contrast, analogous depletion of the essential transcription factor TFIIIB removes the obstacle to replication in the same background. Therefore, our data suggest that the RNA polymerase III transcription complex itself represents an asymmetric obstacle to replication even in the absence of RNA synthesis. We additionally demonstrate that replication-fork mobility past tDNAs is unaffected by the global depletion of condensin from the nucleus, but can be stimulated by the removal of topoisomerases or Rad18-dependent DNA repair pathways.

Global analysis of transcriptionally engaged yeast RNA polymerase III reveals extended tRNA transcripts

Project description:RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) synthesizes a range of highly abundant small stable RNAs, principally pre-tRNAs. Here we report the genome-wide analysis of nascent transcripts attached to RNAPIII under permissive and restrictive growth conditions. This revealed strikingly uneven polymerase distributions across transcription units, generally with a predominant 5Â´ peak. This peak was higher for more heavily transcribed genes, suggesting that initiation site clearance is rate limiting during RNAPIII transcription. Down-regulation of RNAPIII transcription under stress conditions was found to be uneven; a subset of tRNA genes showed low response to nutrient shift or loss of the major transcription regulator Maf1, suggesting potential âhousekeepingâ roles. Many tRNA genes were found to generate long, 3Â´-extended forms due to read-through of the canonical poly(U) terminators. The degree of read-through was anti-correlated with the density of T-residues in the coding strand, and multiple, functional terminators can be located far downstream. The steady-state levels of 3Â´-extended pre-tRNA transcripts are low, apparently due to targeting by the nuclear surveillance machinery; especially the RNA-binding protein Nab2, cofactors for the nuclear exosome and the 5Â´-exonuclease Rat1. CRAC protocol performed on samples containing HTP-tagged proteins: Rpc160(Rpo31), Nab2, Rrp44(Dis3), Rrp6 and Mtr4. Rpc-160-bound RNAs were analyzed in wildtype and maf1 mutant cells and after a shift to medium containing glycerol.

Pif1-family helicases cooperate to suppress widespread replication fork arrest at tRNA genes

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes two distinct Pif1-family helicases – Pif1 and Rrm3 – which have been reported to play distinct roles in numerous nuclear processes. Here, we systematically characterize the roles of Pif1 helicases in replisome progression and lagging- strand synthesis in S. cerevisiae. We demonstrate that either Pif1 or Rrm3 redundantly stimulate strand-displacement by DNA polymerase δ during lagging-strand synthesis. By analyzing replisome mobility in pif1 and rrm3 mutants, we show that Rrm3, with a partially redundant contribution from Pif1, suppresses widespread terminal arrest of the replisome at tRNA genes. Although both head-on and codirectional collisions induce replication fork arrest at tRNA genes, head-on collisions arrest a higher proportion of replisomes; consistent with this observation, we find that head-on collisions between tRNA transcription and replisome progression are under-represented in the S. cerevisiae genome. Further, we demonstrate that tRNA-mediated arrest is R-loop independent, and propose that replisome arrest and DNA damage are mechanistically separable.

Cdk1 Gates Cell Cycle-Dependent tRNA Synthesis by Regulating RNA Polymerase III Activity

Project description:tRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII). During recent years it has become clear that RNAPIII activity is strictly regulated by the cell in response to environmental cues and the homeostatic status of the cell. However, the molecular mechanisms that control RNAPIII activity to regulate the amplitude of tDNA transcription in normally cycling cells are not well understood. Here, we show that tRNA levels fluctuate during the cell cycle and reveal the underlying molecular mechanism. The cyclin Clb5 recruits the cyclin dependent kinase Cdk1 to tRNA genes to boost tDNA transcription during S phase. At tDNA genes, Cdk1 promotes the recruitment of TFIIIC, stimulates the interaction between TFIIIB and TFIIIC, and increases the dynamics of RNA polymerase III in vivo. Furthermore, we identified Bdp1 as an important Cdk1 substrate in this process. Preventing Bdp1 phosphorylation prevented cell cycle-dependent recruitment of TFIIIC and abolished the cell cycle-induced increase in tDNA transcription. Our findings demonstrate that under optimal growth conditions Cdk1 gates tRNA synthesis in S phase by regulating the RNAPIII machinery, revealing a direct link between the cell cycle and RNAPIII activity.

Small RNA-seq analysis shows reduced tRNA levels in cdk1-as1 mutants

Project description:Purpose: Determine whether Cdk1 only regulates a specific subset of tDNAs, or whether Cdk1 has a more global impact on tDNA expression; Method: We study the expression of tRNA genes in WT cells and cdk1-as1 mutants during S phase by small-RNAseq; Result: We found that expression of at least 77% of all tDNAs is significantly downregulated in S-phase in the cdk1-as1 mutant compared with the WT strain; Conclussions: Cdk1 promotes transcription of the majority of tRNA genes during the cell cycle.

A regulatory phosphosite on Mec1 controls RNAPII and RNAPIII occupancy during replication stress [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Upon replication stress, the Mec1ATR kinase triggers the downregulation of transcription, reducing the level of RNA polymerase on chromatin to facilitate replication fork progression. We identify a hydroxyurea-induced phosphorylation site at Mec1-S1991 that contributes to the eviction of RNAPII and RNAPIII during replication stress. The non-phosphorylatable mec1-S1991A mutant reduces replication fork progression genome-wide and compromises survival on hydroxyurea. This defect can be suppressed by destabilizing chromatin-bound RNAPII with a Rpb3-TAP fusion, suggesting that lethality arises from replication-transcription conflicts. Coincident with a failure to repress gene expression, highly transcribed genes like GAL1 persist at nuclear pores in mec1-S1991A cells. Consistently, we find pore proteins and several components controlling RNAPII and RNAPIII transcription are phosphorylated in a Mec1-dependent manner, suggesting that Mec1-S1991 phosphorylation limits conflicts between replication and either RNA polymerase complex. We further show that Mec1 contributes to reduced RNAPII occupancy on chromatin during an unperturbed S phase.

Locus-specific proteome decoding reveals Fpt1 as a chromatin-associated negative regulator of RNA Polymerase III assembly

Project description:Transcription of tRNA genes by RNA Polymerase III (RNAPIII) is tuned by signaling cascades. The emerging notion of differential tRNA gene regulation implies the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms. However, tRNA gene-specific regulators have not been described. Decoding the proteome of a native tRNA gene in yeast revealed reprogramming of the RNAPIII transcription machinery upon nutrient perturbation. Among the dynamic proteins, we identified Fpt1, a protein of unknown function that uniquely occupied RNAPIII regulated genes. Fpt1 binding at tRNA genes correlated with the efficiency of RNAPIII eviction upon nutrient perturbation and required the transcription factors TFIIIB and TFIIIC but not RNAPIII. In the absence of Fpt1, eviction of RNAPIII was reduced and the shutdown of ribosome biogenesis genes was impaired upon nutrient perturbation. Our findings provide support for a chromatin-associated mechanism required for RNAPIII eviction from tRNA genes and for tuning the physiological response to changing metabolic demands.
