ZWC Complex-Mediated SPT5 Phosphorylation Suppresses Divergent Antisense RNA Transcription at the Active Gene Promoters [RNA-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to understand the mechanistic roles of newly identified ZWC chromatin complex on the regulation of transcriptional process in actively transcribed genes. The novel ZWC complex is composed of ZC3H4, WDR82, and casein kinase II (CK2) subunits. Methods: Three biological replicates of RNA-seq data were generated after HEK293 cells were treated with control or ZC3H4 siRNAs. The RNA-Seq libraries were generated from 200 ng of total RNA using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Results: The ZWC complex preferentially localizes at TSSs of active genes through the direct interactions of ZC3H4 and WDR82 subunits with S5p RNAPII CTD. ZC3H4 depletion leads to increased divergent antisense transcription. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that the newly identified ZWC-DSIF axis regulates the direction of transcription during the transition from early to productive elongation
