Genetic Dissection of the RNA Polymerase II Transcription Cycle with ChRO-seq from F1 hybrid mice

ABSTRACT: How DNA sequence affects the dynamics and position of RNA Polymerase II during transcription remains poorly understood. Here we used naturally occurring genetic variation in F1 hybrid mice to explore how DNA sequence differences affect the genome-wide distribution of Pol II. We measured the position and orientation of Pol II in eight organs collected from heterozygous F1 hybrid mice using ChRO-seq. Our data revealed a strong genetic basis for the precise coordinates of transcription initiation and promoter proximal pause, which was composed of both existing and novel DNA sequence motifs, allowing us to redefine molecular models of both core transcriptional processes. Our results implicate the strength of base pairing between A-T or G-C dinucleotides as key determinants to the position of Pol II initiation and pause. We reveal substantial and heritable differences in the position of transcription termination, which frequently do not affect the composition of the mature mRNA. Finally, we identified frequent, organ-specific changes in transcription that affect mRNA and ncRNA expression across broad genomic domains. Collectively, we reveal how DNA sequences shape core transcriptional processes at single nucleotide resolution in mammals.

Mechanistic basis for selective Mediator-dependence of cell type-specifying transcription

Project description:The Mediator complex routes signals from DNA-binding transcription factors to RNA polymerase (Pol) II. Despite its pivotal position, mechanistic understanding of Mediator in human cells remains incomplete. Here, we quantified Mediator-controlled Pol II kinetics by coupling rapid subunit degradation with orthogonal experimental readouts. Consistent with a model of condensate-driven transcription initiation, large clusters of hypo-phosphorylated Pol II rapidly disassembled upon Mediator degradation. This was accompanied by a selective and pronounced disruption of cell type-specifying transcriptional circuits, whose constituent genes featured exceptionally high rates of Pol II turnover. Remarkably, transcriptional output of most other genes was largely unaffected by acute Mediator ablation. Maintenance of transcriptional activity at these genes was linked to an unexpected, CDK9-dependent compensatory feedback loop that elevated Pol II pause release rates genome-wide. Collectively, our work positions human Mediator as a globally acting coactivator that selectively safeguards the functionality of cell type-specifying transcriptional networks.

Transcriptional elongation requires DNA break-induced signaling

Project description:We have previously shown that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pause release and transcriptional elongation involve phosphorylation of the factor TRIM28 by the DNA damage response (DDR) kinases ATM and DNA-PK. Here, we report a significant role for DNA breaks and DDR signaling in the mechanisms of transcriptional elongation in stimulus-inducible genes in humans. Our data show the enrichment of TRIM28 and Î³H2AX on serum-induced genes and the important function of DNA-PK for Pol II pause release and transcriptional activation-coupled DDR signaling on these genes. Î³H2AX accumulation decreases when P-TEFb is inhibited, confirming that DDR signaling results from transcriptional elongation. In addition, transcriptional elongation-coupled DDR signaling involves topoisomerase II because inhibiting this enzyme interferes with Pol II pause release and Î³H2AX accumulation. Our findings propose that DDR signaling is required for effective Pol II pause release and transcriptional elongation through a novel mechanism involving TRIM28, DNA-PK, and topoisomerase II 42 samples in total. IP targets were gammaH2ax, s2-pol-II, pol-II, pTRIM28, DNA-pk, topo-IIB. Experimental conditions included DMSO treatment (control), pTEFb, topoII-i, dnapk-i. Matched non-specific IP samples used for control in peak calling.

Conserved DNA sequence features underlie pervasive RNA polymerase pausing

Project description:This study reveals widespread Pol II pausing at single-nucleotide resolution across the human genome with the majority of Pol II pauses occur outside of promoter-proximal gene regions primarily along the gene-body of transcribed genes. We show DNA sequence properties underlying widespread transcriptional pausing including a new pause motif. The study indicates pervasive sequence-induced transcriptional pausing in human cells.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.
