NELF regulates a promoter-proximal step distinct from RNA Pol II pause-release

ABSTRACT: RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is generally paused at promoter-proximal regions in most metazoans, and based on in vitro studies, this function has been attributed to the negative elongation factor (NELF). Here, we show that upon rapid depletion of NELF, Pol II fails to be released into gene bodies, stopping instead around the +1 nucleosomal dyad-associated region. The transition to the 2nd pause region is independent of positive transcription elongation factor P-TEFb. During the heat shock response, Pol II is rapidly released from pausing at heat shock induced genes, while most genes are paused and transcriptionally downregulated during the heat shock response. We find that both aspects of the heat shock response remain intact upon NELF loss. We find that NELF depletion results in global loss of cap-binding complex from chromatin without global reduction of nascent transcript 5’ cap stability. Thus, our studies implicate NELF functioning in early elongation complexes distinct from Pol II pause-release.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause-release via PAF1C recruitment [RNA-seq]

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute protein-depletion approach, we report that SPT6 depletion results in release of paused RNA Pol II. Short genes demonstrate a prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Unexpectedly, the recruitment of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) to RNA Pol II fails upon SPT6 depletion, leading to the release of NELF-bound RNA Pol II into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause-release through PAF1C recruitment and NELF removal during the early elongation.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.

Stable pausing by RNA polymerase II provides an opportunity to target and integrate regulatory signals

Project description:Metazoan gene expression is often regulated after the recruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to promoters, through the controlled release of promoter-proximally paused Pol II into productive RNA synthesis. Despite the prevalence of paused Pol II, very little is known about the dynamics of these early elongation complexes or the fate of short transcription start site-associated (tss) RNAs they produce. Here, we demonstrate that paused elongation complexes can be remarkably stable, with half-lives exceeding 15 minutes at genes with inefficient pause release. Promoter-proximal termination by Pol II is infrequent and released tssRNAs are targeted for rapid degradation. Further, we provide evidence that the predominant tssRNA species observed are nascent RNAs held within early elongation complexes. We propose that stable pausing of polymerase provides a temporal window of opportunity for recruitment of factors to modulate gene expression and that the nascent tssRNA represents an appealing target for these interactions. This submission includes 13 raw data files. Four samples (chromatin, soluble, mock-treated, and Rrp40-depleted) are represented by two biological replicate raw data files, while five samples (cells, DMSO, FP, mock-treated + FP, and Rrp-40depleted + FP) are represented by single raw data files.

Stabilization of Pol II protein, orchestration of transcription cycles, and maintenance of enhancer landscape by general transcription regulator SPT5 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transcription machinery progression is governed by multitasking regulators including SPT5, an evolutionarily conserved factor implicated in virtually all transcriptional steps from enhancer activation to termination. Yet its mechanistic understanding in human cells remains incomplete. Here we utilize rapid degradation system and reveal crucial function of SPT5 in maintaining cellular and chromatin Pol II levels. Rapid SPT5 depletion causes a pronounced reduction of paused Pol II at promoters and enhancers, distinct from NELF degradation resulting in short-distance paused Pol II redistribution. Most of genes exhibit down- but not upregulation, accompanied by greatly impaired transcription activation and altered chromatin landscape at enhancers, and severe Pol II processivity defects at gene bodies. Phosphorylation of KOWx-4/5- linker potentiates pause release and is antagonized by Integrator-PP2A (INTAC) targeting SPT5 and Pol II. Our findings position SPT5 as an essential positive regulator of global transcription by controlling cellular Pol II levels, enhancer activation and landscape, paused Pol II stability, elongation processivity and termination in human.
