NDF Is a Transcription Factor that Stimulates Elongation by RNA Polymerase II

ABSTRACT: RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation is a critical step in gene expression. Here we find that NDF, which was identified as a bilaterian nucleosome-destabilizing factor, is also a Pol II transcription factor that stimulates elongation with plain DNA templates in the absence of nucleosomes. NDF binds directly to Pol II and enhances elongation by a different mechanism than does transcription factor TFIIS. Moreover, yeast Pdp3, which is related to NDF, binds to Pol II and stimulates elongation. Thus, NDF is a Pol II-binding transcription elongation factor that is localized over gene bodies and is conserved from yeast to humans.

Allosteric transcription stimulation by super elongation complex

Project description:The super elongation complex (SEC) contains the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and a subcomplex, ELL2-EAF1, which stimulates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of ELL2-EAF1 bound to a Pol II elongation complex at 2.8 Å resolution. The ELL2-EAF1 dimerization module directly binds the Pol II lobe, explaining how SEC delivers P-TEFb to Pol II. The same site on the lobe also binds the initiation factor TFIIF, consistent with SEC binding only after the transition from transcription initiation to elongation. Structure-guided functional analysis shows that elongation stimulation requires the dimerization module and an ELL2 protein linker that tethers this module to the Pol II protrusion. Our results show that SEC stimulates elongation allosterically and indicate that this stimulation involves stabilization of a further closed conformation of the Pol II active center cleft.

Structure of transcribing RNA polymerase II-Elongin complex

Project description:Elongin is a hetero-trimeric elongation factor for RNA polymerase (Pol) II transcription that is conserved among metazoa. We solved three structures of human Elongin bound to transcribing Pol II using cryo-EM assisted by crosslinking mass spectrometry. The structures show that Elongin subunit ELOA binds the RPB2 side of Pol II and anchors the ELOB-8 ELOC subunit heterodimer. ELOA contains an N-terminal ‘latch’ that binds between the end of the RPB1 bridge helix and the funnel helices, thereby inducing a conformational change near the Pol II active center. The latch is strictly required for the elongation-stimulatory activity of Elongin, but not for its binding to Pol II, indicating that Elongin functions by allosterically influencing the conformational mobility of the active center. Structural comparisons show that Elongin binding to Pol II is incompatible with association of super elongation complex, the PAF1 complex, and RTF1, which also contains a latch element that stimulates Pol II.

Structures of RNA polymerase II complexes with Bye1, a chromatin-binding PHF3/DIDO homologue

Project description:Bypass of Ess1 (Bye1) is a nuclear protein with a domain resembling the central domain in the transcription elongation factor TFIIS. Bye1 binds with its TFIIS-like domain (TLD) to RNA polymerase (Pol) II. Using a Bye1-TAP strain ChIP-chip was performed to examine the genome-wide association of Bye1 with chromatin in vivo. Bye1 is recruited to chromatin via its TLD and occupies the 5'-region of active genes. A plant homeo domain (PHD) in Bye1 binds histone H3 tails with trimethylated lysine 4, and this interaction is enhanced by the presence of neighboring posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that mark active transcription and conversely is impaired by repressive PTMs. We identify putative human homologs of Bye1, the proteins PHD finger protein 3 and death-inducer obliterator, which are both implicated in cancer. These results establish Bye1 as the founding member of a unique family of chromatin transcription factors that link histones with active PTMs to transcribing Pol II.

Widespread backtracking by RNA pol II is a major effector of gene activation, 5’ pause release, termination and transcription elongation rate

Project description:In addition to phosphodiester bond formation, RNA polymerase II has an RNA endonuclease activity, stimulated by TFIIS, which rescues complexes that have arrested and backtracked. We identified backtracking sites using mNET-seq in human cells expressing dominant-negative TFIIS (TFIISDN) that inhibits RNA cleavage and stabilizes backtracked complexes. Backtracking is most frequent within 2 kb of start sites, consistent with slow elongation early in transcription, and in 3’ flanking regions where termination is enhanced by TFIISDN. Inhibition of the rescue from backtracked pol II by TFIISDN impaired the escape from 5’ pause sites, the completion of long transcripts, and activation of stress-inducible genes. TFIISDN slowed elongation rates genome-wide by half as measured by sequencing nascent transcripts pulse labeled with Bromouridine (Bru-seq) and by anti-pol II ChIP-seq at time points after release of a DRB block. These results suggest that rescue of backtracked pol II by TFIIS is a major stimulus of elongation.

CX-MS of TFIIH and Def1 complex

Project description:The DNA damage response is an essential process for the survival of living cells. In a subset of stress-responsive genes in humans,Elongin controls transcription in response to multiple stimuli, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and heat shock. Yeast Elongin (Ela1-Elc1), along with Def1, is known to facilitate ubiquitylation and degradation of RNA polymerase II (pol II) in response tomultiple stimuli, yet transcription activity has not been examined. We have found that Def1 copurifies from yeast whole-cell extract with TFIIH,the largest general transcription factor required for transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair. The addition of recombinant Def1 and Ela1-Elc1 enhanced transcription initiation in an in vitro reconstituted system including pol II, the general transcription factors, and TFIIS. Def1 also enhanced transcription restart from TFIIS-induced cleavage in a pol II transcribing complex. In the Δdef1 strain, heat shock genes were misregulated, indicating that Def1 is required for induction of some stress-responsive genes in yeast. Taken together, our results extend the understanding of the molecular mechanism of transcription regulation on cellular stress and reveal functional similarities to the mammalian system.

Signaling Pathways Deferentially Affect RNA Polymerase II Initiation, Pausing, and Elongation in Human Cells: TNF-alpha dependent signaling in AC16 cells

Project description:We used Global Run-on and Sequencing (GRO-seq) to measure the rate of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) following gene activation. We observed that Pol II elongation rates can vary as much as 4-fold at different genomic loci and in response to two distinct cellular signaling pathways (i.e., estrogen and TNFM-NM-1). Elongation rates are slowest near the promoter and increase during the first ~15 kb transcribed into the gene body. Gene body elongation rates correlate with the density of Pol II, consequently resulting in systematically higher rates of transcript production at genes with higher Pol II density. By monitoring Pol II dynamics following short inductions, we found that E2 stimulates gene expression by increasing Pol II initiation, whereas TNFM-NM-1 stimulates the release of Pol II from promoter proximal pause sites. Collectively, our results identify previously uncharacterized variation in the rate of Pol II elongation and highlight elongation as an important, variable, and regulated rate limiting step in the transcription cycle. Using GRO-seq over a time course (0, 10, 25, and 40 min) of estrogen signaling in ER-alpha positive MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

CTD tyrosine phosphorylation impairs termination factor recruitment to transcribing RNA polymerase II

Project description:ChIP-chip was performed to identify the genomic binding locations for the termination factors Nrd1, and Rtt103, and for RNA polymerase (Pol) II phosphorylated at the tyrosine 1 and threonine 4 position of its C-terminal domain (CTD). In different phases of the transcription cycle, Pol II recruits different factors via its CTD, which consists of heptapeptide repeats with the sequence Tyr1-Ser2-Pro3-Thr4-Ser5-Pro6-Ser7. Here we show that the CTD of transcribing yeast Pol II is phosphorylated at Tyr1, and that this impairs recruitment of termination factors. Tyr1 phosphorylation levels rise downstream of the transcription start site (TSS), and decrease before the polyadenylation (pA) site. Tyr1-phosphorylated gene bodies are depleted of CTD-binding termination factors Nrd1, Pcf11, and Rtt103. Tyr1 phosphorylation blocks CTD binding by these termination factors, but stimulates binding of elongation factor Spt6. These results show that CTD modifications can not only stimulate but also block factor recruitment, and lead to an extended CTD code for transcription cycle coordination.
