Project description:The DSIF complex, which is composed of the Supt4h and Supt5h transcription elongation proteins, clamps RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) onto DNA templates—facilitating polymerase processivity. Lowering of DSIF components can differentially decrease expression of certain neurodegenerative disease-gene alleles containing nucleotide repeat expansions, suggesting that DSIF assists RNAPII progression through these alleles. To identify sequence features that globally affect the actions of DSIF in neuronal cells, we used ultra—deep ChIP-seq analyses together with RNA-seq to investigate and quantify the genome-wide consequences of reducing DSIF on template occupancy and transcription by RNAPII. Our ChIP-seq analysis yielded an average of 378 million reads per sample, facilitating precision in identification of read end-points. The results indicate that DSIF is differentially utilized throughout the human genome by RNAPII in its occupancy of human DNA and that the G+C_composition of the template segment being transcribed determines the extent to which the polymerase relies on DSIF for template occupancy. Additional analysis by us of previously published data obtained. We following knockdown of the Supt5h component of DSIF in murine fibroblasts showed similar effects. We further observed that DSIF reduction resulted in progressively decreased RNAPII occupancy of template during transcript elongation in genes of high G+C content, but had little effect on genes low in G+C content. Our discovery that DSIF dependency varies in different template regions according to G+C content and transcript length suggest a biochemical basis for selective effects of deficiency of DSIF components on genes containing expansions of G+C-rich nucleotide repeats.

Project description:The DSIF complex comprising the Supt4h and Supt5h transcription elongation proteins clamps RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) onto DNA templates, facilitating polymerase processivity. Lowering DSIF components can differentially decrease expression of alleles containing nucleotide repeat expansions, suggesting that RNAPII transit through repeat expansions is dependent on DSIF functions. To globally identify sequence features that affect dependence of the polymerase on DSIF in human cells, we used ultra-deep ChIP-seq analysis and RNA-seq to investigate and quantify the genome-wide effects of Supt4h loss on template occupancy and transcript production. Our results indicate that RNAPII dependence on Supt4h varies according to G + C content. Effects of DSIF knockdown were prominent during transcription of sequences high in G + C but minimal for sequences low in G + C and were particularly evident for G + C-rich segments of long genes. Reanalysis of previously published ChIP-seq data obtained from mouse cells showed similar effects of template G + C composition on Supt5h actions. Our evidence that DSIF dependency varies globally in different template regions according to template sequence composition suggests that G + C content may have a role in the selectivity of Supt4h knockdown and Supt5h knockdown during transcription of gene alleles containing expansions of G + C-rich repeats.

Project description:Histone deacetylase Rpd3 is part of two distinct complexes: the large (Rpd3L) and small (Rpd3S) complexes. While Rpd3L targets specific promoters for gene repression, Rpd3S is recruited to ORFs to deacetylate histones in the wake of RNA polymerase II, to prevent cryptic initiation within genes. Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 by the Set2 methyltransferase is thought to mediate the recruitment of Rpd3S. Here, we confirm by ChIP-Chip that Rpd3S binds active ORFs. Surprisingly, however, Rpd3S is not recruited to all active genes, and its recruitment is Set2-independent. However, Rpd3S complexes recruited in the absence of H3K36 methylation appear to be inactive. Finally, we present evidence implicating the yeast DSIF complex (Spt4/5) and RNA polymerase II phosphorylation by Kin28 and Ctk1 in the recruitment of Rpd3S to active genes. Taken together, our data support a model where Set2-dependent histone H3 methylation is required for the activation of Rpd3S following its recruitment to the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain.

Project description:Control of gene expression is one of the most complex yet continuous physiological processes impacting cellular homeostasis. RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is tightly regulated at promoter-proximal regions by intricate dynamic processes including Pol II pausing, release into elongation and premature termination. Pol II pausing is a phenomenon where Pol II complex pauses within 30-60 nucleotides after initiating the transcription. Negative elongation factor (NELF) and DRB sensitivity inducing factor (DSIF) contribute in the establishment of Pol II pausing, and positive transcription elongation factor b releases (P-TEFb) paused complex after phosphorylating DSIF that leads to dissociation of NELF. Pol II pausing is observed in most expressed genes across the metazoan. The precise role of Pol II pausing is not well understood; however, it's required for integration of signals for gene regulation. In the present study, we investigated the role of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in genome-wide transcriptional regulation using PTEN overexpression and PTEN knock-down models. Here we identify that PTEN alters the expression of hundreds of genes, and its restoration establishes genome-wide Pol II promoter-proximal pausing in PTEN null cells. Furthermore, PTEN re-distributes Pol II occupancy across the genome and possibly impacts Pol II pause duration, release and elongation rate in order to enable precise gene regulation at the genome-wide scale. Our observations demonstrate an imperative role of PTEN in global transcriptional regulation that will provide a new direction to understand PTEN-associated pathologies and its management.

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcribes DNA wrapped in the nucleosome by stepwise pausing, especially at nucleosomal superhelical locations -5 and -1 [SHL(-5) and SHL(-1), respectively]. In the present study, we performed cryo-electron microscopy analyses of RNAPII-nucleosome complexes paused at a major nucleosomal pausing site, SHL(-1). We determined two previously undetected structures, in which the transcribed DNA behind RNAPII is sharply kinked at the RNAPII exit tunnel and rewrapped around the nucleosomal histones in front of RNAPII by DNA looping. This DNA kink shifts the DNA orientation toward the nucleosome, and the transcribed DNA region interacts with basic amino acid residues of histones H2A, H2B, and H3 exposed by the RNAPII-mediated nucleosomal DNA peeling. The DNA loop structure was not observed in the presence of the transcription elongation factors Spt4/5 and Elf1. These RNAPII-nucleosome structures provide important information for understanding the functional relevance of DNA looping during transcription elongation in the nucleosome.

In order to examine the genome-wide localization of RNAPII and Spt6 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RNAPII and Spt6 along with associated DNA sequences were immunoprecipitated using anti-8WG16 and anti-HA antibodies, respectively. The RNAPII and Spt6 chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed in duplicate from WT cells as described below. The extracted DNA was hybridized to a DNA microarray containing an average of 4 probes per kilobase across the whole yeast genome. The combined datasets are available in the supplemental files of the related publication.
