CAMP-induced nuclear condensation of CRTC2 promotes transcription elongation and cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Forming biomolecular condensates by phase separation has recently emerged as a new principle for regulating gene expression in response to extracellular signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the coupling of signaling transduction and gene activation through condensate formation and how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to disease progression remain elusive. Here we report that CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) translocates to nucleus and forms phase-separated condensates upon activation of cAMP signaling. We show that CRTC2 interacts with positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), and cAMP-induced CRTC2 condensate formation activates P-TEFb by extracting P-TEFb from its inhibitory complex. Aberrantly elevated cAMP signaling plays central roles in the development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We demonstrate that, in contrast to a dispersed cytosolic distribution in the normal tubular epithelia cells, CRTC2 localizes in nucleus and forms condensates in cystic epithelial cells of mouse and human ADPKD kidneys. We show that genetic depletion of CRTC2 markedly suppresses cyst growth in an orthologous ADPKD mouse model. Using integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses, we identify CRTC2-regulated cystogenic genes, whose activation depends on CRTC2 condensation-facilitated P-TEFb recruitment and RNA polymerase II pausing release. Together, our findings elucidate a mechanism by which CRTC2 nuclear condensation conveys cAMP signaling to transcription elongation activation and promotes cystogenesis in ADPKD.

cAMP-induced nuclear condensation of CRTC2 promotes transcription elongation and cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Project description:Formation of biomolecular condensates by phase separation has recently emerged as a new principle for regulating gene expression in response to extracellular signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the coupling of signal transduction and gene activation through condensate formation, and how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to disease progression, remain elusive. Here we report that CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) translocates to the nucleus and forms phase-separated condensates upon activation of cAMP signaling. We show that intranuclear CRTC2 interacts with positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and activates P-TEFb by disrupting the inhibitory 7SK snRNP complex. Aberrantly elevated cAMP signaling plays central roles in the development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We find that CRTC2 localizes to the nucleus and forms condensates in cystic epithelial cells of both mouse and human ADPKD kidneys. Genetic depletion of CRTC2 suppresses cyst growth in an orthologous ADPKD mouse model. Using integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses, we identify CRTC2-regulated cystogenesis-associated genes, whose activation depends on CRTC2 condensate-facilitated P-TEFb recruitment and the release of paused RNA polymerase II. Together, our findings elucidate a mechanism by which CRTC2 nuclear condensation conveys cAMP signaling to transcription elongation activation and thereby promotes cystogenesis in ADPKD.

Activation of P-TEFb by cAMP-PKA signaling in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (RNA-Seq)

Project description:We showed that pharmacological inhibition of P-TEFb attenuated cyst development in ADPKD mouse models. Genome-wide analyses demonstrated that P-TEFb inhibition abrogated transcriptional pause release and suppressed a pathologic gene expression program during cystogenesis. This work revealed a mechanism by which aberrant activation of P-TEFb-mediated transcription elongation promotes cystogenesis in ADPKD.

Stress-induced nuclear condensation of NELF drives global transcriptional downregulation

Project description:In response to stress, human cells actively downregulate ongoing gene expression programs. Translational downregulation is accompanied by the assembly of stress granules which are cytosolic condensates containing ribosomes and mRNA. Transcriptional downregulation is caused by an increased recruitment of Negative Elongation Factors (NELF) to promoters, inhibiting RNA Pol II elongation. We report here that NELF forms nuclear condensates upon stress which can be recapitulated by liquid-liquid phase separation of recombinant NELF in vitro. Stress leads to rapid dephosphorylation and SUMOylation of NELF in cells facilitating condensate formation driven by intrinsically disordered domains of NELFA and NELFE subunits. Using NELF mutants that do not form condensates we provide evidence that condensation is required for increased recruitment of NELF to downregulated promoters and cellular survival in stress. Thus, our study has uncovered a novel nuclear condensate that is conceptually similar to cytosolic stress granule in downregulating gene expression during stressful conditions.

Coactivator condensation drives lineage specification

Project description:During development, cells make switch-like decisions to activate the expression of new gene programs leading to lineage specification1. The mechanisms underlying these decisive choices remain unclear2. Here we find that Myocardin (MYOCD), a cardiomyocyte and smooth muscle cell-specific transcriptional coactivator3-6, activates lineage-specific gene programs by concentration-dependent and switch-like formation of nuclear condensates. While compartmentalization of the transcriptional machinery by condensates has been associated with gene activation7,8, directly linking the two processes has been a major challenge for the field9,10. By modeling the natural changes in MYOCD concentration during development, coupled with quantitative fluorescence microscopy, single-cell resolution reporter assays, and cellular differentiation assays, we demonstrate that condensate formation is directly linked to transcriptional activation and lineage specification. During cardiomyocyte and smooth muscle cell differentiation, the formation of MYOCD condensates precedes activation of cell identity genes and these condensates are present at sites of cell identity gene transcription. MYOCD condensates form, activate gene expression, and specify cell state at critical concentration thresholds, dependent upon the C-terminal disordered region of MYOCD. Disrupting condensate formation by manipulating the sequence of this region impairs gene activation which can be rescued by replacing this region with condensate-forming disordered regions from functionally unrelated proteins. These results demonstrate that coactivator condensation at critical concentrations enables switch-like changes in gene expression programs crucial for lineage specification.

Coactivator condensation drives cell lineage specification

Project description:During development, cells make switch-like decisions to activate new gene programs specifying cell lineage. The mechanisms underlying these decisive choices remain unclear. Here we show that the cardiovascular transcriptional coactivator, Myocardin (MYOCD), activates cell identity genes by concentration-dependent and switch-like formation of transcriptional condensates. MYOCD forms such condensates and activates cell identity genes at critical concentration thresholds achieved during smooth muscle cell and cardiomyocyte differentiation. The C-terminal disordered region of MYOCD is necessary and sufficient for condensate formation. Disrupting this region’s ability to form condensates disrupts gene activation. Rescuing condensate formation by replacing this region with disordered regions from functionally unrelated proteins rescues gene activation. Our findings demonstrate that MYOCD condensate formation is required for gene activation during differentiation. We propose that the formation of transcriptional condensates at critical concentrations of cell type-specific regulators provides a molecular switch underlying the activation of key cell identity genes during cell lineage specification.

Conditions for the co-existence of promoter and gene-body condensates

Project description:In cells, transcription is tightly regulated on multiple layers. The condensation of the transcription machinery into distinct phases is hypothesized to spatio-temporally fine tune RNA polymerase II behaviour during two key stages, transcription initiation and the elongation of the nascent RNA transcripts. However, it has remained unclear whether these phases would mix when present at the same time or remain distinct chemical environments; either as multi-phase condensates or by forming entirely separate condensates. Here we combine particle-based multi-scale simulations and experiments in the model organism C. elegans to characterise the biophysical properties of RNA polymerase II condensates. Both simulations and the in vivo work describe a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behaviour of RNA Polymerase II, with condensates dissolving at lower temperatures whereas higher temperatures promote condensate stability, which highlights that these condensates are physio-chemically distinct from heterochromatin condensates. The LCST behavior of CTD correlates with gradual shifts in the transcription program but is largely uncoupled from the classical stress response. Expanding the simulations we model how the degree of phosphorylation of the disordered C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (CTD), which is characteristic for each step of transcription, controls the existence and morphology of multi-phasic condensates. We show that the two phases putatively underpinning the initiation of transcription and transcription elongation constitute distinct chemical environments and are in agreement with RNA polymerase II condensates observed in C. elegans embryos by super resolution microscopy. Our analysis shows how depending on its post transcriptional modifications and its interaction partner a single protein can form multiple partially engulfed condensates, potentially promoting the selective recruitment of additional factors to these two phases.
