Rapid transcription of arc/arg3.1 and other very fast immediate early genes in response to neuronal activity is mediated by a stalled RNA polymerase II mechanism

ABSTRACT: Transcription of immediate early genes (IEGs) in neurons is exquisitely sensitive to neuronal activity, but the mechanism underlying the earliest of these transcription events is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that very fast IEGs (VF-IEGs) such as arc/arg3.1 are poised for rapid transcription by the stalling of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) just downstream of the transcription start site. RNAi-depletion of two subunits of Negative Elongation Factor, a mediator of Pol II stalling, reduces the Pol II occupancy of the arc promoter and compromises the rapid induction of arc and other VF-IEGs. In contrast, reduction of Pol II stalling did not prevent expression of fast IEGs (F-IEGs). These F-IEGs are expressed with comparatively slower kinetics and largely lack promoter proximal Pol II stalling. Taken together, our data strongly indicate that very fast kinetics of neuronal IEG expression require poised Pol II and suggest a role for this mechanism in transcription-dependent learning and memory.

TTX withdrawal induced neuronal activity. To study activity-induced gene expression, neurons were treated with TTX for 48 hours and then TTX was washed out either for 15 minutes (W15) or for 45 minutes (W45). Gene expression was measured in these two groups in comparison to TTX treated neurons.

A member of transcription/export complex (TREX), THOC5 controls elongation rate by recruiting CDK12.

Project description:THOC5, a member of the THO complex that is a subcomplex of Transcription/export complex (TREX) 1, is essential for 3´processing of slow kinetics IEGs, and for export of only a subset of genes. Applying nanopore mRNA-sequence technology, we show here that upon depletion of THOC5, 50% of mRNAs showed alteration of 3´end cleavage sites. Moreover, polymerase-II (Pol II)-CHIP-sequencing data reveals that upon depletion of THOC5 Pol II density was increased at gene body and 3´UTR. THOC5 is recruited near to Pol II high density sites except promotor regions, suggesting that THOC5 is involved in transcription elongation. Indeed, 385 THOC5 independent genes in fast Pol II cells became THOC5 dependent in slow Pol II cells. Chromatin associated THOC5 in slow Pol II cells interacts with CDK12, RNA helicases DDX5 and DDX, and THOC6, but not with other members of THO complex. Notably, THOC5 did not form this complex in fast poly II cells. CDK12 was recruited to R-loop (DNA:RNA hybrid) in THOC5/THOC6 dependent manner. Here, THOC6, but not THOC5 directly interacts with R-loop then, recruited DDX5 resolves R-loop and then CDK12 enhances further transcription elongation. These data show for the first time the novel function of THOC5/THOC6 complex during transcription elongation.

ZFP-1(AF10)/DOT-1 Complex Opposes H2B Ubiquitination to Reduce Pol II Transcription

Project description:Inhibition of transcriptional elongation plays an important role in gene regulation in metazoans, including C. elegans, which lacks Negative Elongation Factor homologs. Here we combine genomic and biochemical approaches to dissect a novel role of C. elegans AF10 homolog, ZFP-1, in transcriptional control. We show that ZFP-1 and its interacting partner DOT-1.1 have a global role in negatively modulating the level of Pol II transcription on essential widely expressed genes. Moreover,the ZFP-1/DOT-1.1 complex contributes to progressive Pol II stalling on essential genes during development and to rapid Pol II stalling during stress response. The slowing down of Pol II transcription by ZFP-1/DOT-1.1 is associated with an increase in H3K79 methylation and a decrease in H2B monoubiquitination, which promotes transcription. We propose a model where recruitment of ZFP-1/DOT-1.1 and deposition of H3K79 methylation at highly expressed genes initiates a negative feedback mechanism for modulation of their expression.

Structural basis of human transcription-DNA repair coupling

Project description:Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) efficiently removes bulky DNA lesions from transcribed parts of the genome and constitutes a major defence against DNA damage by UV irradiation. TCR begins when RNA polymerase II (Pol II) stalls at a DNA lesion and recruits the Cockayne syndrome protein CsB, the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CsA, and the UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (UVSSA). Here we provide five high-resolution structures of Pol II transcription complexes with bound TCR factors and complementary biochemical data. Together with published work, our results converge on a model for the molecular mechanism of transcription-DNA repair coupling. In this model, Pol II stalling triggers the formation of an alternative transcription elongation complex that we call ECact. In ECact, CsB has replaced the elongation factor DSIF, binds the PAF1 complex, and repositions upstream DNA such that it contacts the elongation factor SPT6. The CsB translocase now pulls on the upstream DNA template, thereby pushing Pol II forward. If the lesion cannot be bypassed, Pol II gets stably stalled. CRL4CsA spans over the Pol II clamp to reach the Pol II jaw and direct ubiquitination of RPB1 residue lysine-1268. This triggers the recruitment of TFIIH to UVSSA, which is located at downstream DNA, and enables nucleotide excision repair. Finally, large-scale conformational changes in CRL4CsA enable ubiquitination of CsB and the release of TCR factors, thereby allowing Pol II to resume elongation and continue transcription over repaired DNA.

Poised RNA Polymerase II changes over developmental time and prepares genes for future expression (ChIP-seq data)

Project description:Poised RNA polymerase II is predominantly found at developmental control genes and is thought to allow their rapid and synchronous induction in response to extracellular signals. How the recruitment of poised RNA Pol II is regulated during development is not known. By isolating muscle tissue from Drosophila embryos at five stages of differentiation, we show that the recruitment of poised Pol II occurs at many genes de novo and this makes them permissive for future gene expression. When compared to other tissues, these changes are stage-specific and not tissue-specific. In contrast, Polycomb group repression is tissue-specific and in combination with Pol II (the balanced state) marks genes with highly dynamic expression. This suggests that poised Pol II is temporally regulated and is held in check in a tissue-specific fashion. We compare our data to mammalian embryonic stem cells and discuss a framework for predicting developmental programs based on chromatin state.
