ZCCHC8 is required for the degradation of pervasive transcripts originating from multiple genomic regulatory features

ABSTRACT: The vast majority of mammalian genomes are transcribed as non-coding RNA in what is referred to as “pervasive transcription.” Recent studies have uncovered various families of non-coding RNA transcribed upstream of transcription start sites. In particular, highly unstable promoter upstream transcripts known as PROMPTs have been shown to be targeted for exosomal degradation by the nuclear exosome targeting complex (NEXT) consisting of the RNA helicase MTR4, the zinc-knuckle scaffold ZCCHC8, and the RNA binding protein RBM7. Here, we report that in addition to its known RNA substrates, ZCCHC8 is required for the targeted degradation of pervasive transcripts produced at CTCF binding sites, open chromatin regions, promoters, promoter flanking regions, and transcription factor binding sites. Additionally, we report that a significant number of RIKEN cDNAs and predicted genes display the hallmarks of PROMPTs and are also substrates for ZCCHC8 and/or NEXT complex regulation suggesting these are unlikely to be functional genes. Our results suggest that ZCCHC8 and/or the NEXT complex may play a larger role in the global regulation of pervasive transcription than previously reported.

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 promotes 3‘ processing of pervasive transcripts [RNA-seq]

Project description: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.

PAP-gamma associates with PAXT nuclear exosome to control the abundance of PROMPT ncRNAs

Project description:Pervasive transcription of the human genome generates an abundance of RNAs that must be processed and degraded. The nuclear RNA exosome is the main RNA degradation machinery in the nucleus. However, nuclear exosome must be recruited to its substrates by targeting complexes, such as NEXT or PAXT. By proteomic analysis, we have identified additional subunits of PAXT, including many orthologs of MTREC found in S. pombe. In particular, we show that polyA polymerase gamma was associated with PAXT. Genome-wide mapping of the binding sites of ZFC3H1, RBM26 and PAPgamma, showed that PAXT is recruited to the TSS of hundreds of genes. Loss of ZFC3H1 abolished recruitment of PAXT subunits including PAPgamma to TSSs and concomitantly increased the abundance of PROMPTs at the same sites. Moreover, PAPgamma polyadenylated PROMPTs and modulated their stability. Our results thus provide key insights into the direct targeting and degradation of PROMPT ncRNAs by PAXT, at their genomic sites and depending on polyadenylation of RNAs.

The evolving genetic landscape of dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and DC-like (DCL) disorders

Project description:Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a complex inherited bone marrow failure syndrome which is principally a disorder of telomere maintenance. To date approximately 35% of cases remain uncharacterised at the genetic level. Whole exome sequencing on a large collection of uncharacterized DC and DC-like (DCL) families (n=167) has revealed several novel pathogenic variants within known susceptibility loci, POT1 and ZCCHC8, as well as the novel locus POLA1. Functional characterisation of identified POLA1 and POT1 pathogenic variants, uncovered their effect on protein-protein interactions that have critical implications for telomere maintenance. ZCCHC8 variants disrupt protein interactions that affect nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex stoichiometry and its binding with the human silencing hub (HUSH) complex chromatin modifier MPP8. Global transcriptomic analysis revealed signatures of pervasive transcription that include several short (snRNA and snoRD) and long non-coding RNA (transposable elements; LINE-1) driving inflammation in ZCCHC8 patient blood cells. In summary, our studies inform the current genetic architecture of DC and DCL disorders, by revealing novel gene loci such as POLA1 and extend our current knowledge on disease mechanisms beyond the regulation of long non-coding RNA TERC.

Principles for RNA metabolism and alternative transcription initiation within closely spaced promoters

Project description:Mammalian transcriptomes are complex and formed by extensive promoter activity. Moreover, gene promoters are largely divergent and initiate transcription of reverse-oriented promoter upstream transcripts (PROMPTs). Although PROMPTs are commonly terminated early, influenced by early polyadenylation (pA) sites, promoters often cluster so that the divergent activity of one might impact another. Here, we find that the distance between promoters strongly correlates with the expression, stability and length of their associated PROMPTs. Adjacent promoters driving divergent mRNA transcription support PROMPT formation, but due to pA site constraints, these transcripts tend to spread into the neighboring mRNA on the same strand. This mechanism to derive new alternative mRNA transcription start sites (TSSs) is also evident at closely spaced promoters supporting convergent mRNA transcription. We suggest that basic building blocks of divergently transcribed core promoter pairs, in combination with the wealth of TSSs in mammalian genomes, provides a framework with which evolution shapes transcriptomes.

Nuclear exosome targeting complex core factor Zcchc8 regulates the degradation of LINE1 RNA in early embryos and embryonic stem cells

Project description:The nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex is responsible for recruiting RNA exosomes to degrade specific nuclear RNAs in mammalian cells. However, its function in mammalian development remains unknown. Here, we found that the depletion of a central factor of the NEXT complex, Zcchc8, resulted in mouse developmental defects, a shortened life span and infertility. Zcchc8-deficient embryonic stem cells (ESCs) exhibited proliferation abnormalities and reduced developmental potencies. Interestingly, we found that retrotransposon elements, especially LINE1 RNAs, are targeted and degraded by Zcchc8 in ESCs. We subsequently demonstrated that Zcchc8-depleted oocytes show defects in meiotic maturation and early embryo development. Moreover, the sustained expression of higher levels of LINE1 RNA was also detected in maternal Zcchc8-depleted oocytes and Zcchc8-deficient embryos, which can further increase chromatin accessibility. Collectively, our study uncovers the important role of Zcchc8 in the degradation of LINE1 transcripts in early embryos and ESCs at the posttranscriptional level.

Identification of a nuclear exosome decay pathway for processed transcripts

Project description:The RNA exosome is fundamental for the degradation of RNA in eukaryotic nuclei. Substrate targeting is facilitated by its co-factor Mtr4p/hMTR4, which links to RNA-binding protein adaptors. One such activity is the human Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, composed of hMTR4, the Zn-finger protein ZCCHC8 and the RNA-binding factor RBM7. NEXT primarily targets early and unprocessed transcripts, demanding a rationale for how the nuclear exosome recognizes processed RNAs. Here, we describe the PolyA tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection, comprising the hitherto uncharacterized ZFC3H1 Zn-knuckle protein as a central link between hMTR4 and the nuclear polyA binding protein PABPN1. Individual depletion of ZFC3H1 and PABPN1 results in the accumulation of common transcripts, that are generally both longer and more 3’polyadenylated than NEXT substrates. Importantly, ZFC3H1/PABPN1 and ZCCHC8/RBM7 contact hMTR4 in a mutually exclusive manner, revealing that the exosome targets nuclear transcripts of different maturation status by substituting its hMTR4-associating adaptors.
