Pioneer factor GAF cooperates with PBAP and NURF to regulate transcription [PRO-seq]

ABSTRACT: The Drosophila pioneer factor GAF is known to be essential for RNA Pol II promoter-proximal pausing and the removal of nucleosomes from a set of target promoters with GAGAG motifs. We and others have speculated that GAF recruits the ISWI family ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex NURF, on the basis that NURF and GAF are both required to remodel nucleosomes on an hsp70 promoter in vitro and that GAF interacts physically with NURF. However, GAF was also recently shown to interact with PBAP, a SWI/SNF family remodeler. To test which of these remodeling complexes GAF works with, we depleted GAF, NURF301, BAP170, and NURF301+BAP170 in Drosophila S2 cells using RNAi. We used a combination of PRO-seq, ATAC-seq, 3'RNA-seq, and CUT&RUN to demonstrate that while GAF and PBAP synergistically open chromatin at target promoters which allows Pol II recruitment and pausing to proceed, GAF and NURF also synergistically position the +1 nucleosome to ensure efficient pause release and transition to productive elongation.

GAGA factor, a positive regulator of global gene expression, modulates transcriptional pausing and organization of upstream nucleosomes. [MNase-seq]

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNA-Pol) is a rate-limiting step primed for rapid and synchronous induction of genes involved in critical physiological processes. Its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Using cytogenetic, genomic and genetic approaches, we provide evidence to support a direct role of a prevalent upstream GAGA binding factor (GAF) in transcriptional pausing of Hsp70 and many developmental regulators in Drosophila. For GAF target genes, the abundance of paused RNA-Pol and GAF is closely correlated. Promoters with higher GAF occupancy show stronger reduction of paused RNA-Pol in Gaf mutants. In addition, nucleosome organization is preferentially affected in the upstream region by GAF in a dosage-dependent manner. Genetic assays using a dominant eye phenotype caused by GAF overexpression suggests that GAF cooperates with nucleosome remodeler NURF, pausing factor NELF and an upstream binding factor BAB1. Thus, GAF plays a critical role in a regulatory network to facilitate transcriptional pausing through modulation of upstream nucleosomes.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila wild type and bap170;bap180 double mutant reveals two PBAP chromatin remodeling complex-specific subunits have distinct, redundant functions during development

Project description:Chromatin remodeling complexes control the availability of DNA binding sites to transcriptional regulators. Two distinct forms of the major SWI/SNF-related complex that have different activities in vitro can be distinguished by the presence of specific accessory subunits. In Drosophila, the core Brahma complex associates either with Osa to form the BAP complex, or with Bap170 and Bap180 to form the PBAP complex. Mutations affecting the core subunits have stronger developmental phenotypes than osa mutations; these differences could be due to PBAP complex activity . We have generated mutations in the genes encoding the PBAP-specific subunits Bap170 and Bap180 in order to study their functions in vivo. Bap180 is not essential for viability, but is required in ovarian follicle cells for normal eggshell development. Bap170 is necessary to stabilize the Bap180 protein; however, a mutant form that retains this function is sufficient for survival and fertility. The two subunits act redundantly to allow metamorphosis; using gene expression profiling of double mutants, we have found that the PBAP complex regulates genes involved in tissue remodeling and immune system function. Finally, we have generated mutants that lack Bap170, Bap180 and Osa in the germline to demonstrate that the function of the core Brahma complex in oogenesis does not require any of these accessory subunits. To study PBAP specific subunits Bap170 and Bap180 role in Drosophila melanogaster development Experiment Overall Design: Two males and two females for each genotype (wild type and bap170;bap180 double mutant) were processed at white prepupae stage (0 hour APF)

GAGA Factor maintains promoters in nucleosome-free conformation and allows promoter-proximal pausing [MNase]

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a widespread in higher eukaryotes. Previous studies have shown that GAF is enriched at paused genes, but the role of GAF in pausing has not been well characterized on a genome-wide level. To investigate the role of GAF in pausing, we RNAi-depleted GAF from Drosophila S2 cells, and examined the effects on promoter-proximal polymerase. We confirmed the importance of GAF for pausing on the classic pause model gene Hsp70. To determine the dependence of pausing on GAF genome-wide, we assayed the levels of transcriptionally-engaged polymerase genome-wide using GRO-seq in control and GAF-RNAi cells. We found that promoter-proximal polymerase was significantly reduced on a subset of paused genes with GAF-bound promoters. There is a dramatic change in nucleosome distribution at genes with reduction in pausing upon GAF depletion and intergenic GAF binding sites in GAF knock-down, suggesting that GAF allows the establishment of pausing at these genes by directing nucleosome displacement off of the promoter. In addition, the insulator factor BEAF, BEAF-interacting protein Chriz, and transcription M1BP enrichment on unaffected genes suggests that redundant transcription factors or insulators protect other GAF-bound paused genes from GAF knock-down effects. Three biological replicates of MNase digested chromatin from LacZ-RNAi and GAGA factor-RNAi cells.
