MDC1 maintains active elongation complexes of RNA polymerase II

ABSTRACT: The role of MDC1 in the DNA damage response has been extensively studied, however, its impact on other cellular processes is not well understood. Here, we describe a role for MDC1 in transcription by regulating the activity of the RNAPolymerase II (RNAPII). Depletion of MDC1 caused a genome-wide reduction in the abundance of actively engaged RNAPII elongation complexes throughout the gene body of protein coding genes under unperturbed conditions. Decreased engaged RNAPII subsequently alters the assembly of the spliceosome complex on chromatin, leading to defects in pre-mRNA splicing. Mechanistically, the S/TQ domain of MDC1 modulates RNAPII-mediated transcription. Upon genotoxic stress, MDC1 promotes the abundance of engaged RNAPII complexes at DNA breaks, thereby stimulating nascent transcription at the damaged sites. Of clinical relevance, cancer cells lacking MDC1 display hypersensitivity to RNAPII inhibitors. Overall, we unveil a previously uncharacterized role of MDC1 in RNAPII-mediated transcription with potential implications for cancer treatment.

MDC1 interacts with TOPBP1 to maintain chromosomal stability during mitosis

Project description:MDC1 is a large, modular phospho-protein scaffold that mediates recruitment of signaling and repair complexes to sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). MDC1 is anchored to damaged chromatin through interaction of its C-terminal BRCT-repeat domain with phosphorylated H2AX (γH2AX), where it recruits downstream factors via direct phosphorylation-dependent protein-protein interactions. Here, using unbiased proteomic analyses we identify a highly conserved protein interaction surface near the MDC1 N-terminus for the DNA damage response protein TOPBP1. We show that TOPBP1 directly binds to two residues in MDC1 that are phosphorylated by CK2. Interestingly, we find that TOPBP1 recruitment to DSBs depends on direct interaction with MDC1 only during mitosis. Furthermore, we demonstrate that disrupting MDC1-TOPBP1 binding causes hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation in mitosis, as well as increased micronuclei and chromosomal instability. Thus, our results highlight an important and hitherto unnoticed function for MDC1 and TOPBP1 in maintaining genome stability during cell division.

Ubiquitin ligase WWP2 targets RNA polymerase II in a DNA-PK-dependent transcription shutoff circuitry for DNA repair

Project description:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-transcribed genes lead to inhibition of transcription. DNA protein kinase (DNA-PK) complex plays a pivotal role in transcription inhibition at DSBs by stimulating proteasome-dependent eviction of RNAPII at these lesions. How DNA-PK triggers RNAPII eviction to inhibit transcription at DSBs remained unclear. Here we show that the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase WWP2 associates with components of the DNA-PK and RNAPII complexes and is recruited to DSBs at RNAPII-transcribed genes. In response to DSBs, WWP2 targets the RNAPII subunit RPB1 for K48-linked ubiquitylation, thereby driving DNA-PK- and proteasome-dependent eviction of RNAPII. The lack of WWP2 or expression of non-ubiquitylatable RPB1 abrogates the loading of Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ) factors, including DNA-PK and XRCC4/DNA ligase IV, and impairs DSB repair. These findings suggest that WWP2 operates in a DNA-PK-dependent shut-off circuitry for RNAPII clearance that promotes DSB repair by protecting the NHEJ machinery from collision with the transcription machinery.

ARMC5-mediated degradation of RNA polymerase II as a last resort in the promoter-proximal pausing checkpoint [TTchem-Seq]

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) promoter-proximal pausing is an early step in the transcription cycle, which occurs alongside important events such as mRNA capping. Here, we identify a ubiquitin ligase complex, CUL3-ARMC5 (CRL3ARMC5) which is required for targeting promotor-proximally paused RNAPII for degradation. While a basal level of ARMC5-dependent RNAPII ubiquitylation/degradation occurs even in unperturbed cells, depletion of proteins regulating promoter-proximal pausing results in markedly increased ubiquitylation. We suggest that such RNAPII ubiquitylation/degradation serves as a “last resort” pathway for removing inept polymerases at a promoter-proximal pause checkpoint to avoid their release for unproductive transcript elongation. In agreement with this idea, ARMC5 knockout cells display increased levels of nascent transcription but with pre-mRNAs exhibiting capping defects. Together, our findings support a model in which promoter-proximal pausing functions as a transcription cycle checkpoint and indicate broad role for the CRL3ARMC5 ligase in RNAPII poly-ubiquitylation and degradation.

A PP2A-Integrator complex fine-tunes transcription by opposing CDK9

Project description:Gene expression by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by Cyclindependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The RNAPII pausing checkpoint, engaged after transcription initiation, is controlled by CDK9 to regulate transcription in metazoans. We discovered that CDK9-mediated RNAPII pause-release is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex. PP2A dynamically competes for key CDK9 substrates, DSIF and RNAPIICTD, and is recruited to transcription pausing sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. INTS6 depletion confers resistance to CDK9 inhibition in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines. Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLLrearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

Splicing Factor RBM22 Broadly Affects RNA Polymerase II 5' Pausing, Elongation Rate and Termination and Prevents Genome Instability [C3'-seq]

Project description:Splicing factors are vital for the regulation of RNA splicing, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of their involvement in transcriptional processes remain poorly understood. Here, we describe a direct role of splicing factor RBM22 in coordinating multiple steps of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription in human cells. The RBM22 protein widely occupies the RNAPII-transcribed gene locus in the nucleus. Loss of RBM22 promotes RNAPII pause release, reduces elongation velocity and provokes transcriptional readthrough genome-wide, coupled with downstream-of-gene (DoG) transcript production and genome instability. RBM22 preferentially binds to the hyperphosphorylated, transcriptionally engaged RNAPII and coordinates its dynamics by regulating the homeostasis of the 7SK-P-TEFb complex and the association between RNAPII and SPT5 at the chromatin level. Our results uncover the multifaceted role of RBM22 in orchestrating the transcriptional program of RNAPII, and provide evidence implicating a splicing factor in both RNAPII elongation kinetics and termination control.

Elongation factor-specific capture of RNA polymerase II complexes

Project description:Transcription of protein-coding genes is regulated by dynamic association of co-factors with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The function of these factors and their relationship with RNAPII is often poorly understood. Here, we present an approach for elongation factor-specific mNET capture (EMCAP) of RNA polymerase II complexes for sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis, for investigating the function of such RNAPII regulatory proteins. As proof of principle, we apply EMCAP to the RNAPII-associated proteins SCAF4 and SCAF8, which share an essential role as mRNA anti-terminators but have individual roles at the 3’end of genes. Mass spectrometry analysis shows that both SCAF4 and SCAF8 are part of RNAPII elongation complexes containing 3’end processing factors but depleted of splicing components. Importantly, the EMCAP-seq profiles of SCAF4- and SCAF8-RNAPII complexes reflect their function as mRNA-anti-terminators and their competing functions at the end of genes where they prevent or promote transcriptional readthrough.

Distribution of RNA polymerase II and changes of carbo-terminal phosphorylation sites after INTS11 knockdown

Project description:As Integrator is tightly associated with RNAPII-CTD, it is critical to understand how the RNAPII engaged and conducted within the active gene promoter for divergent transcription. We thus employed RNAPII ChIP-seq (Chromatin Immuno-precipitation with RNAPII antibody) to determine the distribution of the total RNAPII and its phosphorylation isoforms. Total RNA polymerase II and its carbon terminal phosphorylation(RNA polymerase II-ctd-Tyr-1，RNA polymerase II-ctd-ser-2) before and after INTS11 knockdown in HCT116-INTS11-AID cells changes chromatin immunoprecipitation DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq).
