The PAF1 complex promotes 3‘ processing of pervasive transcripts [PRO-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The PAF1 complex (PAF1C) functions in multiple transcriptional and co-transcriptional processes. Although many aspects of the requirement for PAF1 in coding gene transcription have been heavily studied, the function of PAF1C at sites of non-coding transcription is poorly understood. eRNAs and PROMPTs are pervasive transcripts transcribed by RNA Polymerase II and rapidly degraded after 3’ endonucleolytic cleavage by the Integrator complex (Integrator). Here we show that PAF1C depletion results in near universal 3’ end processing defects in pervasive transcripts, leading to transcription termination dysregulation. Mechanistically, PAF1C recruits Integrator to chromatin through direct interactions promoting timely cleavage and transcription termination of pervasive transcripts. We also show that PAF1C recruits Integrator to the promoters of coding genes, where PAF1C then dissociates from the Integrator complex upon entry into processive elongation. Our results demonstrate an unexpected function for PAF1C in limiting the length and accumulation of pervasive transcripts, while highlighting a general requirement for PAF1C in Integrator recruitment.

The PAF1 complex promotes 3‘ processing of pervasive transcripts [ChIP-seq]

The PAF1 complex promotes 3‘ processing of pervasive transcripts

Project description:The PAF1 complex (PAF1C) functions in multiple transcriptional processes involving RNA Polymerase II (Pol II). eRNAs and PROMPTs are pervasive transcripts transcribed by Pol II and rapidly degraded by the nuclear exosome complex after 3’ endonucleolytic cleavage by the Integrator complex (Integrator). Here we show that PAF1C has an unexpected role in the termination of eRNAs and PROMPTs that are cleaved 1-3 kb downstream of the transcription start site. Mechanistically, PAF1C facilitates recruitment of Integrator to sites of pervasive transcript cleavage, promoting timely cleavage and transcription termination. We also show that PAF1C recruits Integrator to coding genes, where PAF1C then dissociates from Integrator upon entry into processive elongation. Our results demonstrate an unexpected function for PAF1C in limiting the length and accumulation of pervasive transcripts that result from nonproductive transcription

The Paf1 complex broadly impacts the transcriptome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The polymerase associated factor 1 complex (Paf1C) is a multifunctional epigenetic regulator of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Paf1C controls gene expression by stimulating the placement of co-transcriptional histone modifications, influencing nucleosome occupancy in coding regions, facilitating transcription termination, and regulating nuclear export of RNAs. In this study, we investigate the extent to which these functions of Paf1C combine to influence the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptome. Using conditions that enrich for unstable transcripts, we show that deletion of PAF1 affects all classes of Pol II-transcribed RNAs including multiple classes of noncoding transcripts. Gene ontology analysis revealed that mRNAs encoding genes involved in iron and phosphate homeostasis were differentially affected by deletion of PAF1. We further investigated these two groups of mRNAs with the goal of identifying overarching mechanisms of up and down-regulation in cells lacking Paf1. Our results indicate that only a subset of the observed changes result from loss of Paf1C-promoted histone modifications. We also found that transcription of the FET4 gene is differentially regulated by Paf1 and an upstream CUT. Together these data highlight the complexity of the epigenetic regulation of Pol II transcription imposed by Paf1C and identify a role for Paf1C in promoting CUT transcription.

An allosteric/intrinsic mechanism supports termination of snRNA transcription.

Project description:Termination of protein-coding gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) depends on endonucleolytic cleavage at the poly(A) site and the activity of a 5’->3’ “torpedo” exoribonuclease. Other Pol II transcripts also undergo endonucleolytic cleavage suggesting common themes for its termination. Nevertheless, many RNA polymerases employ intrinsic/allosteric termination that directly defines transcript 3’ ends. We have analysed termination of snRNA transcription in humans, which utilises the endoribonucleolytic integrator complex. Integrator is involved, but termination continues after its depletion. This implicates additional mechanisms and shows that endo- and 5’->3’ exonuclease activities are not necessarily a basis for all Pol II termination. Although the alternative process acts as a failsafe in the absence of integrator it contributes significantly to snRNA termination in the natural situation. Long-read sequencing reveals its products to have stochastic 3’ ends that are terminated before integrator cleavage, ruling out 5’->3’ exonuclease contribution(s) and supporting an allosteric/intrinsic mechanism. Termination of some snRNA transcription occurs at T-runs further indicating common principles between this mechanism and those used by other RNA polymerases.

Integrator enforces the fidelity of transcriptional termination at protein-coding genes

Project description:Integrator regulates the 3’-end processing and termination of multiple classes of noncoding RNAs. Depletion of INTS11, the catalytic subunit of Integrator, or ectopic expression of its catalytic dead enzyme impairs the 3’-end processing and termination of a set of protein coding transcripts termed Integrator-regulated termination (IRT) genes. This defect is manifested by increased RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) readthrough and occupancy of serine-2 phosphorylated RNAPII, de-novo trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3, and a compensatory elevation of the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) complex in the downstream regions. 3’-RNA-sequnecing reveals that proximal polyadenylation site usage relies on the endonuclease activity of INTS11. The DNA sequence encompassing the transcription end sites of IRT genes feature downstream polyadenylation motifs and an enrichment of GC content that permits the formation of secondary structures within the 3’UTR. Taken together, this study identifies a subset of protein-coding transcripts whose 3’-end processing requires the Integrator complex.

Integrator endonuclease drives promoter-proximal termination at all RNAPII transcribed loci (ChIP-Seq 2)

Project description:Pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in early elongation is critical for gene regulation. Paused RNAPII can be released into productive elongation by the kinase P-TEFb or targeted for premature termination by the Integrator complex. Integrator comprises endonuclease and phosphatase activities, driving termination through cleavage of nascent RNA and removal of stimulatory phosphorylation. To probe the direct consequences of Integrator activity, we generated a degron system to rapidly deplete the Integrator endonuclease INTS11. Degradation of INTS11 elicits a nearly universal increase in RNAPII escape from promoter regions. However, these RNAPII complexes fail to achieve optimal elongation rates and reveal continued Integrator phosphatase activity. Short transcripts are thus selectively upregulated by INTS11 loss, including many non-coding RNAs, transcription factors and signaling regulators. Together, our data indicate a common function for INTS11 at all RNAPII loci, with differential effects on particular genes, pathways or RNA biotypes reflecting transcript lengths rather than Integrator specificity.
