Efficient RNA polymerase II pause release requires U2 snRNP function

ABSTRACT: Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is coupled to pre-mRNA splicing, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Co-transcriptional splicing requires assembly of a functional spliceosome on nascent pre-mRNA, but whether and how this influences Pol II transcription remains unclear. Here we show that inhibition of pre-mRNA branch site recognition by the spliceosome component U2 snRNP leads to a widespread and strong decrease in new RNA synthesis in human cells. Multiomics analysis reveals that U2 snRNP inhibition increases the duration of Pol II pausing in the promoter-proximal region, impairs recruitment of the pause release factor P-TEFb, and reduces Pol II elongation velocity in the beginning of genes. Our results indicate that efficient release of paused Pol II into active transcription elongation requires formation of functional spliceosomes, and that eukaryotic mRNA biogenesis relies on positive feedback from the splicing machinery to the transcription machinery.

A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with pre-spliceosome formation

Project description:There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown. Prp5 is an RNA-stimulated ATPase required for pre-spliceosome formation in yeast. We demonstrate through in vivo RNA labelling that, in addition to a splicing defect, the prp5-1 mutation causes a defect in the transcription of intron-containing genes. We present chromatin immunoprecipitation evidence for a transcriptional elongation defect in which RNA polymerase that is phosphorylated at serine 5 of the largest subunit’s heptad repeat accumulates over introns, and that this defect requires the U2 snRNP-associated Cus2p. A similar accumulation of polymerase was observed when pre-spliceosome formation was blocked by a mutation in U2 snRNA. These results indicate the existence of a transcriptional elongation checkpoint that is associated with pre-spliceosome formation during co-transcriptional spliceosome assembly. We propose a role for Cus2p as a potential checkpoint factor in transcription. Examining the Pol II profile in MT strain and WT strain

Transcriptome changes in spliceostatin A treated cells

Project description:Pre-mRNA in eukaryotes is subjected to post-transcriptional modifications, such as capping, polyadenylation and splicing. It is well known that transcription and post-transcriptional modifications are coupled and that this coupling stimulates post-transcriptional modifications, however, the effects of post-transcriptional modifications on transcription are not fully understood. Here, we report that inhibition of U2 snRNP by a splicing inhibitor, spliceostatin A (SSA), and antisense morpholino oligonucleotide to U2 snRNA caused 3’ end down regulation in a gene-specific manner. We also show that U2 snRNP inhibition resulted in the dephosphorylation of second serine residues (Ser2) within heptad repeats of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II, which is important for transcription elongation, and this dephosphorylation was correlated with splicing inactivation. Interestingly, removal of SSA from the culture media caused restoration of the Ser2 phosphorylation and expression of the 3’ end, suggesting that transcription elongation resumed. These findings suggest that a novel checkpoint mechanism prevents pre-mRNA accumulation and the production of aberrant proteins translated from pre-mRNA upon splicing deficiencies through the dephosphorylation of CTD Ser2. Treated HeLa cells with methanol or spliceosotain A for 3 hours followed by labelling of nascent transcripts with EU for 1 hour. The EU labelled nascent RNA was purified and analyzed on human exon 1.0ST array. Three biological replicates were used for each treatment.

The histone variant H2A.Z promotes efficient co-transcriptional splicing in S. cerevisiae

Project description:In eukaryotes, a dynamic ribonucleic protein machine known as the spliceosome catalyzes the removal of introns from pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA). Recent studies show the process of RNA-synthesis and RNA-processing to be spatio-temporally coordinated, indicating that RNA splicing takes place in the context of chromatin. H2A.Z is a highly conserved histone variant of the canonical histone H2A. In S. cerevisiae, H2A.Z is deposited into chromatin by the SWR1-complex, is found near the 5’ ends of protein-coding genes, and has been implicated in transcription regulation. Here we show that splicing of intron-containing genes in cells lacking H2A.Z is impaired, particularly under suboptimal splicing conditions. Cells lacking H2A.Z are especially dependent on a functional U2 snRNP, as H2A.Z shows extensive genetic interactions with U2 snRNP associated proteins, and RNA-seq reveals introns with non-consensus branch points are particularly sensitive to H2A.Z loss. Consistently, H2A.Z promotes efficient spliceosomal rearrangements involving the U2 snRNP, as H2A.Z loss results in persistent U2 snRNP association and decreased recruitment of downstream snRNPs to nascent RNA. H2A.Z impairs transcription elongation, suggesting that spliceosome rearrangements are tied to H2A.Z’s role in elongation. Depletion of disassembly factor Prp43 suppresses H2A.Z-mediated splice defects, indicating that, in the absence of H2A.Z, stalled spliceosomes are disassembled and unspliced RNAs are released. Together these data demonstrate that H2A.Z is required for efficient pre-mRNA splicing and indicate a role for H2A.Z in coordinating the kinetics of transcription elongation and splicing.

CDK11 phosphorylates SF3B1 and is essential for constitutive splicing (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing is a highly regulated process catalyzing intron excision by spliceosome. Spliceosome activation is a major control step requiring dramatic protein and RNA rearrangements leading to a catalytically active complex. Prior research has linked hyperphosphorylation of SF3B1, a subunit of U2 snRNP, with spliceosome activation and catalytically active spliceosome, rendering a relevant kinase a key player for pre-mRNA splicing. Here we use OTS964, the first potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11), to show rapid and selective dephosphorylation of SF3B1 on threonines required for spliceosome activation. CDK11 associates with SF3B1 and its inhibition causes massive intron retention, block in precatalytic spliceosome complex B to activated spliceosome complex Bact transition and accumulation of non-functional spliceosomes on pre-mRNA and chromatin. These studies reveal crucial regulatory role of CDK11 in human pre-mRNA splicing and define the compound OTS964 as a quality chemical biology probe for CDK11.

A genome-wide analysis indicates that yeast pre-mRNA splicing is predominantly post-transcriptional

Project description:Recent ChIP experiments indicate that spliceosome assembly and splicing can occur cotranscriptionally in S. cerevisiae. However, only a few genes have been examined, and all have long second exons. To extend these studies, we analyzed intron-containing genes with different second exon lengths, by ChIP as well as by whole-genome tiling arrays (ChIP-CHIP). The data indicate that U1 snRNP recruitment is independent of exon length. Recursive splicing constructs, which uncouple U1 recruitment from transcription, suggest that cotranscriptional U1 recruitment contributes to optimal splicing efficiency. In contrast, U2 snRNP recruitment as well as cotranscriptional splicing is deficient on short second exon-genes. We estimate that approximately 90% of endogenous yeast splicing is post-transcriptional, consistent with an analysis of post-transcriptional snRNP-associated pre-mRNA. Keywords: ChIP-CHIP
