Project description:The generation of distinct messenger RNA isoforms through alternative splicing and alternative 3' end formation influences the expression and function of genes, often in a cell-type specific manner. Here, we quantitatively assess the regulatory relationships between transcription initiation and co-transcriptional processing steps, particularly 3' end formation. Applying multiple long-read-sequencing approaches to obtain an assembly accurately representing even the longest mRNA isoforms from end-to-end, we quantify mRNA isoform choice in Drosophila and human tissues, including the transcriptionally complex nervous system. We find that in Drosophila brains as well as in human cerebral organoids, 3' end site choice is globally influenced by the site of transcription start. We define a subset of TSSs, “dominant promoters” that impose a transcriptional constraint to predetermine splice and polyadenylation variants, which are characterized by specific epigenetic signatures. In vivo deletion or overexpression of dominant promoters disrupted the 3' end expression landscape. Our study demonstrates the crucial impact of transcription initiation site choice on the regulation of transcript diversity and tissue identity.

Project description:Alternative mRNA isoforms and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) make up a large fraction of the transcriptome and play key functions in cell-fate programming. These transcripts often initiate upstream of coding gene promoters from alternative transcription start sites (TSS) where they can regulate gene expression in cis through transcription-coupled chromatin alterations. How, when and where transcription of alternative cis-acting RNAs regulates local gene expression remains poorly understood. Here, we use a high-resolution quantitative approach to study alternative TSS and transcript end site (TES) usage during three different cell fate transitions in yeast: entry into gametogenesis, commitment to meiotic divisions and return to vegetative growth. We propose that an alternative transcriptome of mRNA isoforms and lncRNAs shapes local gene expression during cell fate transitions. Hence, changes in the types and proportions of different RNAs transcribed at a locus are important inputs for gene expression at distinct stages of development.
