The NELF pausing checkpoint mediates the functional divergence of Cdk9

ABSTRACT: Cdk9 is an essential transcriptional kinase that is conserved across distant eukaryotes, but we previously found that acute inhibition of Cdk9 causes different transcriptional phenotypes in NELF-containing higher eukaryotes (like mammals and Drosophila) vs. the NELF-lacking fission yeast S. pombe. NELF is known to participate in promoter-proximal pausing of RNA Polymerase II, and using NELF-depleted Drosophila cells, we find that this NELF-mediated pause is necessary to prevent gene body entry by Pol II in the absence of Cdk9. Without NELF, the abnormal gene body entry that occurs following Cdk9 inhibition is strikingly similar to that seen in S. pombe, and in either case, these Pol II complexes have elongation defects and are unable to complete gene transcription. These results show that NELF enforces an early checkpoint for Cdk9 and efficiently shuts down gene transcription in its absence. We propose this would have been critical for the emergence of gene regulatory strategies acting via Cdk9 to modulate transcription of specific genes.

The histone deacetylase SIRT6 controls transcription elongation via promoter-proximal pausing (PRO-Seq)

Project description:Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes commonly occurs at promoter-proximal regions wherein transcriptionally engaged RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pauses before proceeding towards productive elongation. The roles of chromatin in this process remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the histone deacetylase SIRT6 regulates transcription elongation by binding to Pol II and anchoring the Negative ELongation Factor NELF, thereby preventing the release of Pol II towards elongation. Absence of SIRT6, or conditions of glucose deprivation, lead to increased levels of acetylated histone H3 at lysines 9 (H3K9ac) and 56 (H3K56ac), activation of the CDK9 kinase, phosphorylation of NELF and Pol II, and recruitment of the transcription factors MYC and BRD4, the PAF1 Complex, as well as several positive elongation factors, in turn releasing Pol II into productive elongation. Collectively, we identified SIRT6 as the first pausing-dedicated histone deacetylase, regulating intragenic H3K9ac and H3K56ac as critical chromatin modifications modulating transcriptional pausing and elongation.

Regulation of Pol II pausing is involved in daily transcription in the mouse livers in the mouse liver

Project description:Purpose: We used ChIP-seq to analyze daily transcription and regulation of Pol II pausing within the mouse liver. Methods: Livers of young mice were processed for Pol II and Nelf-A ChIP-seq at 4-h interval across the day. The binding pattern was analyzed by MACS. Tag pileup within promoter and gene body regions were also obtained to calculate Pol II TR. Results: We obtained > 10 million high quality sequencing reads per time points per sample after quality control and alignments. MACS identified nearly 10,000 Pol II peaks genomewide throughout the day. Nelf-A peaks varied from a few hundreds to 10,000 across the day. A genomewide Nelf-A binding rhythm was evident. We also quantitated bindings within the TSS region and/or gene body and analyzed the quantitation results with ARSER for rhythm detection. We found Pol II binding within the TSS region and gene body show discordant changes. While most genes had peak TSS Pol II binding around dawn, Pol II binding within the gene body showed more scattered distribution, with two peaks around dawn and dusk, respectively. Pol II traveling ratio also showed daily changes, with most genes having a higher TR around dawn. Conclusions: Our study revealed discordant Pol II rhythms in the TSS region and within the gene body, and indicated that Pol II initiation and pause release could have distinct roles in the generation of transcription rhythms within the mouse liver.

Cdk9 regulates a promoter-proximal checkpoint to modulate RNA Polymerase II elongation rate in fission yeast

Project description:Post-translational modifications of the transcription elongation complex provide mechanisms to fine-tune gene expression, yet their specific impacts on RNA polymerase II regulation remain difficult to ascertain. Here, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we examine the role of Cdk9, and related Mcs6/Cdk7 and Lsk1/Cdk12 kinases, on transcription at base-pair resolution with Precision Run-On sequencing (PRO-seq). Within a minute of Cdk9 inhibition, phosphorylation of Pol II-associated factor, Spt5 is undetectable. The effects of Cdk9 inhibition are more severe than inhibition of Cdk7 and Cdk12, resulting in a shift of Pol II towards the transcription start site (TSS). A time course of Cdk9 inhibition reveals that early transcribing Pol II can escape promoter-proximal regions, but with a severely reduced rate of only ~400 bp/min. Our results in fission yeast suggest the existence of a conserved global regulatory checkpoint that requires Cdk9 kinase activity.

Genome-wide map of RNA polymerase II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells

Project description:Most metazoan promoters have RNA polymerase II (Pol II) paused slightly downstream of the transcription start site by NELF and DSIF. This pausing keeps these promoters available for rapid induction by P-TEFb, whose activity causes NELF to dissociate and Pol II and DSIF to elongate on the gene. ChIP-Seq data was generated for Pol II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells and used to look at pausing downstream of unannotated promoters. 3x ChIP-Seq (Pol II, NELF, DSIF) in HeLa cells

Postrecruitment Regulation of RNA Pol II Directs Rapid Signaling Responses at the Promoters of Estrogen Target Genes

Project description:Under current models for signal-dependent transcription in eukaryotes, DNA-binding activator proteins regulate the recruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to a set of target promoters. Yet, recent studies, as well as our results herein, show that Pol II is widely distributed (i.e., "preloaded") at the promoters of many genes prior to specific signaling events. How Pol II recruitment and Pol II preloading fit within a unified model of gene regulation is unclear. In addition, the mechanisms through which cellular signals activate preloaded Pol II across mammalian genomes remain largely unknown. Here we show that the predominant genomic outcome of estrogen signaling is the post-recruitment regulation of Pol II activity through phosphorylation, rather than recruitment of Pol II. Furthermore, we show that negative elongation factor (NELF) binds to estrogen target promoters in conjunction with preloaded Pol II and represses gene expression until the appropriate signal is received. Finally, our studies reveal that the estrogen-dependent activation of preloaded Pol II facilitates rapid transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses which play important physiological roles in regulating estrogen signaling itself. Our results reveal a broad use of post-recruitment Pol II regulation by the estrogen signaling pathway, a mode of regulation that is likely to apply to a wide variety of signal-regulated pathways.

Identification of CDK9 targets using DRB and quantitative phosphoproteomics

Project description:CDK9 is a critical kinase required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II) in higher eukaryotes. Phosphorylation of targets including the elongation factor SPT5 and the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA pol II allow the polymerase to pass an early elongation checkpoint (EEC), which is encountered soon after initiation. In addition to halting RNA polymerase II at the EEC, CDK9 inhibition also causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, suggesting that CDK9 and PP2A, working together, regulate the coupling of elongation and transcription termination to RNA maturation. Our phosphoproteomic analyses, using either DRB or an analog-sensitive CDK9 cell line confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as an additional key target of this kinase. CDK9 inhibition causes loss of interaction of splicing and export factors with SF3B1, suggesting that CDK9 also helps to co-ordinates coupling of splicing and export to transcription.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pol II Transcription Elongation Factor ELL Functions as Part of a Rudimentary Super Elongation Complex

Project description:ELL family transcription factors activate the overall rate of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription elongation by binding directly to Pol II and suppressing its tendency to pause. In metazoa, ELL regulates Pol II transcription elongation as part of a large multisubunit complex referred to as the Super Elongation Complex (SEC), which includes P-TEFb and EAF, AF9 or ENL, and an AFF family protein. Although orthologs of ELL and EAF have been identified in lower eukaryotes including S. pombe, it has been unclear whether SEC-like complexes function in lower eukaryotes. In this report, we describe isolation from S. pombe of an ELL-containing complex with features of a rudimentary SEC. This complex includes S. pombe Ell1, Eaf1, and a previously uncharacterized protein we designate Ell1 binding protein 1 (Ebp1), which is distantly related to metazoan AFF family members. Like the metazoan SEC, this S. pombe ELL complex appears to function broadly in Pol II transcription. Interestingly, it appears to have a particularly important role in regulating genes involved in cell separation.
