Project description:Chromatin places fundamental physical constraints on transcription (Gamarra and Narlikar, 2021). The PAF1 complex (PAF1C), a hexamer of PAF1, LEO1, CTR9, SKI8, CDC73 and RTF1, plays a critical role in transcription with incompletely understood mechanisms. During transcriptional elongation, PAF1C is one of the positive elongation factors in complex with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to facilitate elongation through chromatin (Vos et al., 2018), but it is unclear yet if negative elongation factors are needed concurrently to restrain elongation. Here we show that besides decreasing elongation rate, LEO1 knockout in human K562 cells increases transcriptional readthrough and cellular level of C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylated Pol II while increases and decreases transcriptional output of several hundred genes, respectively. Mechanistic analyses taking proteomic, functional genomic and biochemical approaches discovered that PAF1C regulates transcriptional termination in part through recruiting PNUTS-PP1γ complex and facilitates Pol II transcriptional re-initiation through recruiting TOX4-PP1α complex. Moreover, Paf1 conditional knockout in mice severely blocks T cell development, increases cellular level of CTD phosphorylated Pol II, mainly decreases Pol II occupancy and transcriptional output in double positive T cells, and importantly, the regulation of re-initiation by PAF1C through TOX4-PP1α complex is conserved between mouse and human. Our results also suggest that PNUTS-PP1γ and TOX4-PP1α bind PAF1C to restrain Pol II elongation through chromatin. These findings not only establish PAF1C as a critical regulator of transcriptional termination and re-initiation besides elongation but also advanced current understanding of elongation.

Project description:TOX4 is one of the regulatory proteins of PP1 phosphatases with poorly understood functions. Here we show that chromatin occupancy pattern of TOX4 resembles that of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), and its loss increases cellular level of C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylated Pol II but mainly decreases Pol II occupancy on promoters. In addition, elongation rate analyses by 4sUDRB-seq suggest that TOX4 restricts pause release and early elongation but promotes late elongation. Moreover, TT-seq analyses indicate that TOX4 loss mainly decreases transcriptional output. Mechanistically, TOX4 may restrict pause release through facilitating CTD serine 2 and DSIF dephosphorylation, and promote Pol II recycling and reinitiation through facilitating CTD serines 2 and 5 dephosphorylation. Furthermore, among the PP1 phosphatases, TOX4 preferentially binds PP1α and is capable of facilitating Pol II CTD dephosphorylation in vitro. These results lay the foundation for a better understanding of the role of TOX4 in transcriptional regulation.

Project description:Transcription termination pathways mitigate the detrimental consequences of unscheduled promiscuous initiation occurring at hundreds of thousands of genomic cis-regulatory elements. The Restrictor complex, composed of the Pol II-interacting protein WDR82 and the RNA-binding protein ZC3H4, suppresses processive transcription at thousands of extragenic sites in mammalian genomes. Restrictor-driven termination does not involve nascent RNA cleavage and its interplay with other termination machineries is unclear. Here we show that efficient termination at Restrictor-controlled extragenic transcription units involves the recruitment of the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) regulatory subunit PNUTS, a negative regulator of the Spt5 elongation factor, and Symplekin, a protein associated with RNA cleavage complexes but also involved in cleavage-independent and phosphatase-dependent termination of non-coding RNAs in yeast. PNUTS and Symplekin act synergistically with, but independently from Restrictor to dampen processive extragenic transcription. Moreover, the presence of limiting nuclear levels of Symplekin imposes a competition for its recruitment among multiple transcription termination machineries, resulting in mutual regulatory interactions. Hence, by synergizing with Restrictor, Symplekin and PNUTS enable efficient termination of processive, long-range extragenic transcription.
