Project description:The transcriptional machinery involved in RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription during oogenesis is not well characterized. In somatic cells, the Pol II general transcription factor, TFIID, containing the TATA binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors, is the first to bind gene promoters to nucleate pre-initiation complex formation. During oocyte growth TBP is replaced by TBP2 and Tbp2-/- female mice are sterile. Here, we show that in oocytes TBP2 stably associates with TFIIA but does not assemble into a TFIID-type complex but stabily associates with TFIIA. we demonstrate that in female germ cells the specific TBP2-TFIIA-containing transcription machinery drives transcription from oocyte-specific core promoters, which are different from those occupied by TBP/TFIID in somatic cells.

Project description:The human general transcription factor TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). In eukaryotic cells, TFIID nucleates RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) preinitiation complex formation on gene promoters and thus, is crucial for Pol II transcription. Germline knock out of several mouse TFIID subunits (Tbp, Taf7, Taf8, and Taf10) results in lethality at embryonic day 4.0, demonstrating the fundamental role of holo-TFIID in transcription. We identified a child harboring a splice-site mutation in TAF8, who has intellectual disability, poor growth, progressive spasticity and microcephaly. The c.781-G>A TAF8 mutation in this patient resulted in a frame shift, which affected the final 50 carboxy terminal amino acids of TAF8. We found that the mutant TAF8 protein is unstable and the patient c.781-G>A TAF8 primary fibroblasts did not form canonical TFIID complexes. Astonishingly however, genome-wide RNA pol II occupancy and pre-mRNA transcription on the tested genes was unaffected in the patient’s primary fibroblasts. This study indicates that perturbed TFIID function is less deleterious for transcription in human cells than originally anticipated.

Project description:General transcription factor TFIID is a key component of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation in eukaryotic nuclei. Human TFIID is a megadalton-sized multiprotein complex comprising TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). TBP binds to core promoter DNA, recognizing the TATA-box. A number of transcription regulatory factors were found to compete with DNA for TBP binding. We identified a ternary complex formed by TBP and the histone fold (HF) domain containing TFIID subunits TAF11 and TAF13. We demonstrate that TAF11/TAF13 competes for TBP binding with TATA-box DNA, and also with the N-terminal domain of TAF1. In an integrative approach combing crystal coordinates, biochemical analyses and data from cross-linking mass-spectrometry (CLMS), we determine the architecture of the TAF11/TAF13/TBP complex, revealing TAF11/TAF13 interaction with the DNA binding surface of TBP. Our results thus suggest a novel regulatory state for TFIID function.

Project description:Using NET-seq to profile nascent RNA transcription, we show that auxin-mediated depletion of TBP does not affect Pol II transcription and gene activation via heat shock.

Project description:General transcription factors (GTFs) are required for RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to initiate transcription at promoters. In this study, we determined the effects of acute depletion of TBP, TAF1, TAF4, TFIIB, and XPB in HAP1 cells. We performed precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-Seq) and quantified nascent transcripts arising from more than 70,000 promoters. The average dependencies for each factor across all promoters varied widely even though levels of depletions were similar. Many of the effects could be attributed to the presence or absence of core promoter elements. Depletion of TBP had a large effect on only a small fraction of Pol II and Pol III promoters. TFIIB depletion also led to readthrough transcription downstream of the 3′ ends of genes. We conclude that promoter activity is influenced by recruitment of TFIID, sequence-specific transcription factors, and interaction of the preinitiation complex (PIC) with the +1 nucleosome.

Project description:The conserved core domain of the TATA binding protein (TBP) interacts with multiple partners forming the complexes required for transcription by RNA Polymerases I, II and III. We use genetically modified mouse embryonic fibroblasts to show that many TBP core domain mutants complement loss of endogenous TBP, but this often results in a slow growth phenotype. Two TBP mutations, R188E and K243E, disrupt the TBP-BTAF1 interaction and B-TFIID complex formation. Transcriptome and ChIP-seq analyses show that loss of B-TFIID does not affect global genomic distribution of TBP, but positively or negatively affects TBP and/or RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment to a selected set of promoters. We identify a set of promoters where wild-type TBP assembles a partial inactive preinitiation complex lacking Pol II and TAF1. Our results suggest that an exchange of the B-TFIID complex in wild-type cells for TFIID in R188E and K243E mutant cells at these primed promoters recruits Pol II to activate their expression. We also observe that both Wt and mutant TBP can occupy promoters without concurrent Pol II recruitment and active transcription. Our data reveal a novel regulatory mechanism involving the formation of a partial preinitiation complex that primes the promoter for productive preinitiation complex formation in mammalian cells.

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription initiation starts with the assembly of the preinitiation complex (PIC) on core promoters. The PIC is composed of six general transcription factors (GTFs). The recognition of the core promoter sequences by the TFIID GTF complex is the first step of the PIC assembly. In metazoans, holo-TFIID is composed of the TATA binding protein (TBP) and of 13 TBP associated factors (TAFs). Genetic depletion of different murine TAFs have shown that TAFs such as TAF7 or TAF10, can be either required, or dispensable for Pol II transcription, depending on different cellular contexts. In this report, we depleted TAF7 and/or TAF10 in the same cellular system; either in mesodermal progenitors during mouse development or in mESCs. In these two models, TAF7 depletion leads to a milder phenotype compared to TAF10 depletion. As TAF10 is also a subunit of the transcriptional co-activator Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyl transferase (SAGA), we first showed that the difference in phenotype between the Taf7 and Taf10 mutant is not due to the SAGA effect, at least for mESCs. Immunoprecipitations coupled with mass spectrometry analyses from mESCs lysates assembly of holo-TFIID complex is rapidly affected after induction of the depletion. In line with the model of holo-TFIID sequential assembly, TAF10 depletion leads to an early defect with formation of the core-TFIID, while TAF7 depletion results in the formation of a TAF7-less TFIID. Thus, the difference in phenotype severity correlates with the degree of TFIID disassembly. Surprisingly, no major global changes in Pol II transcription could be observed after either TAF7 or TAF10 depletion. Our data suggest that the inducible loss of fully assembled canonical TFIID does not correlate with the lack of global Pol II transcription activity changes suggesting that partially assembled TFIID complexes can participate in Pol II transcription initiation, with only limited effect on Pol II nascent transcription.

Our data reveal a novel regulatory mechanism involving the formation of a partial preinitiation complex that primes the promoter for productive preinitiation complex formation in mammalian cells. Using homologous recombination, we generated ES cells and mice harbouring a null allele in the Tbp gene by insertion of a hygromycin resistance cassette in exon III and a floxed allele, in which exon III is surrounded by LoxP sites. From these mice, we generated an embryonic fibroblast Tbplox/- cell line in which TBP expression can be inactivated by expression of the Cre recombinase leading to cell death. We adopted a two-step strategy to generate Tbp-/- cell lines expressing human (h)TBP. Cells were first infected with pBABE retrovirus vectors expressing Wt hTBP or a series of mutants in the TBP core region, all of which carry a Flag-HA tag on their N-terminus. Cells expressing endogenous mTBP and exogenous hTBP were then infected with a second retrovirus expressing the 4 hydroxy-tamoxifen (OHT) inducible Cre-ERT2. Subsequently, multiple clonal populations from the OHT treated cells were isolated and genotyped by PCR to identify the Tbp-/-clones. At least two independent clones where expression of the endogenous mTBP was lost and replaced by the exogenous hTBP were isolated.

Project description:The human general transcription factor TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). In eukaryotic cells, TFIID is thought to nucleate RNA polymerase II (Pol II) preinitiation complex formation on all protein coding gene promoters and thus, be crucial for Pol II transcription. TFIID is composed of three lobes, named A, B and C. Structural studies showed that TAF8 is forming a histone fold pair in lobe B and connecting lobe B to lobe C. In the present study, we have investigated the requirement of the different regions of TAF8 for in vitro TFIID assembly, and the importance of certain TAF8 regions for mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) viability. We have identified a TAF8 region, different from the histone fold domain of TAF8, important for assembling with the 5TAF core complex in lobe B, and four regions of TAF8 each individually required for interacting with TAF2 in lobe C. Moreover, we show that the 5TAF core-interacting TAF8 domain, and the proline rich domain of TAF8 interacting with TAF2, are both required for mouse embryonic stem cell survival. Thus, our study demonstrates that TAF8 regions involving in the connection of lobe B to lobe C are crucial for TFIID function and consequent ESC survival.
