A PP2A-Integrator complex fine-tunes transcription by opposing CDK9 [4sU-seq]

ABSTRACT: Gene expression by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The RNAPII pausing checkpoint, engaged after transcription initiation, is controlled by CDK9 to regulate transcription in metazoans. We discovered that CDK9-mediated RNAPII pause-release is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex. PP2A dynamically competes for key CDK9 substrates, DSIF and RNAPII-CTD, and is recruited to transcription pausing sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. INTS6 depletion confers resistance to CDK9 inhibition in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines. Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLL-rearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that f inely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

A PP2A-Integrator complex fine-tunes transcription by opposing CDK9

Project description:In this study, we discovered that CDK9-mediated, RNAPII-driven transcription is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex that is recruited to transcription sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. PP2A dynamically antagonises phosphorylation of key CDK9 substrates including DSIF and RNAPII-CTD. Loss of INTS6 results in resistance to tumor cell death mediated by CDK9 inhibition, decreased turnover of CDK9 phospho-substrates and amplification of acute cell growth and pro-inflammatory transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill both leukemic and solid tumor cells, providing therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity throughout the transcription cycle.

Distinct pathways for removal of defective RNA polymerase II transcription complexes at a promoter-proximal pause checkpointm [RN21236 dTAG TTchem-seq]

Project description:The purpose and function of Integrator and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) promoter-proximal pausing remain uncertain. Here, we show that when Integrator function is compromised by loss of INTS6, RNAPII interacts increasingly with proteins from alternative pathways for its DNA dissociation, including CUL3-ARMC5 (CRL3ARMC5), which ubiquitylates Ser5-phosphorylated Rpb1 and targets it for degradation. ARMC5-dependent RNAPII ubiquitylation is activated by defects in factors required for correctly regulated promoter-proximal pausing, including Integrator, DSIF and mRNA capping enzyme. This ARMC5 checkpoint curtails an appreciable fraction of RNAPII transcription, with ARMC5 knockout cells producing uncapped, nascent RNA transcripts that fail to mature into stable mRNA. Concomitant loss of INTS6 and ARMC5 greatly stabilizes RNAPII at the pause and has severe consequences for cell growth and viability. Our data support a model in which CRL3ARMC5 functions alongside Integrator in a checkpoint mechanism that removes faulty RNAPII complexes at promoter-proximal pause sites to safeguard transcription integrity.

A combinatorial approach to uncover a novel Integrator subunit [ChIP-seq II]

Project description:The Integrator complex is one of the most elusive transcriptional regulators in metazoans, deemed to be recruited after initiation to help establish and modulate paused RNAPII. Recent structural, biochemical, and functional evidence suggest that Integrator is composed of 14 subunits, assembling, and operating in a modular fashion. We employed proteomics and machine-learning (alphafold2) approaches to discover a novel Integrator subunit, INTS15. We report that INTS15 assembles primarily with the INTS10-INTS13-INTS14 module and interfaces with the Int-PP2A phosphatase module. Functional genomics analysis further reveals a role for INTS15 in modulating RNAPII pausing at a subset of genes in human cell lines.
