Elongation roadblocks mediated by dCas9 across human genes modulate transcription and nascent RNA processing

ABSTRACT: Non-cleaving Cas9 (dCas9) is widely employed to manipulate specific gene loci often with scant regard for unintended transcriptional effects. We demonstrate here that dCas9 mediates precise transcriptional pausing followed by transcription termination and potential alternative polyadenylation. In contrast, alternative splicing is unaffected, likely requiring more sustained alteration to RNA polymerase II elongation speed. The effect on transcription is orientation-specific, with pausing only being induced when dCas9-associated guide RNA anneals to the non-template strand. Targeting template strand induces minimal effects on transcription elongation and thus provides a neutral approach to recruit dCas9 linked effector domains to specific gene regions. In essence we evaluate molecular effects of targeting dCas9 to mammalian transcription units. In so doing we also provide new information on transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II and coupled pre-mRNA processing.

TCERG1 regulates alternative splicing of Bcl-x gene by modulating the rate of RNAPII transcription

Project description:Complex functional coupling exists between transcriptional elongation and pre-mRNA alternative splicing. Pausing sites and changes in the rate of transcription by RNAPII may therefore have a fundamental impact in the regulation of alternative splicing. Here, we show that the elongation and splicing-related factor TCERG1 regulates alternative splicing of the apoptosis gene Bcl-x in a promoter-dependent manner. TCERG1 promotes the splicing of the short isoform of Bcl-x (Bcl-xs) through the SB1 regulatory element located in the first half of exon 2. Consistent with these results, we show evidence for in vitro and in vivo interaction of TCERG1 with the Bcl-x pre-mRNA. Transcription profile analysis reveals that the RNA sequences required for the effect of TCERG1 on Bcl-x alternative splicing coincide with a putative polymerase pause site. Furthermore, TCERG1 modifies the impact of a slow polymerase on Bcl-x alternative splicing. In support of a role for an elongation mechanism in the transcriptional control of Bcl-x alternative splicing, we found that TCERG1 modifies the amount of pre-mRNAs generated at distal regions of the endogenous Bcl-x. Most importantly, TCERG1 affects the rate of RNAPII transcription of endogenous human Bcl-x. We propose that TCERG1 modulates the elongation rate of RNAPII to relieve pausing, thereby activating the pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS 5’ splice site. ChIP-Seq

FACT orchestrates the interplay between chromatin structure and transcription [MNase-Seq]

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) depends on transcription factors and chromatin factors. Here we use rapid factor depletion and multiomics analysis to investigate how a histone chaperone, FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), influence nascent transcription by RNA PolII in human cells. Depletion of a FACT subunit, SSRP1, led to rapid changes in chromatin structure and concomitantly strongly compromised RNA synthesis. FACT depletion led to a multilayered transcriptional defect, including loss of promoter proximal pausing, deregulated release into elongation and drop-off of RNA Pol II in promoter-distant gene regions. We combined these analyses with biochemical dissection of transcription of a chromatinized template to show that FACT supports both elongation and pausing of RNA Pol II. Our study also provides new evidence how the position of promoter proximal pausing is defined by the +1 nucleosome in human cells.

Activity-assembled nBAF complex mediates rapid immediate early gene transcription by regulating RNA Polymerase II productive elongation

Project description:Signal-dependent RNA Polymerase II (Pol2) productive elongation is an integral component of gene transcription, including those of immediate early genes (IEGs) induced by neuronal activity. However, it remains unclear how productively elongating Pol2 overcome nucleosomal barriers. Using RNAi, three degraders, and several small molecule inhibitors, we show that the mammalian SWI/SNF complex of neurons (neuronal BAF, or nBAF) is required for activity-induced transcription of neuronal IEGs, including Arc. The nBAF complex facilitates promoter-proximal Pol2 pausing, signal-dependent Pol2 recruitment (loading), and importantly, mediates productive elongation in the gene body via interaction with the elongation complex and elongation-competent Pol2. Mechanistically, Pol2 elongation is mediated by activity-induced nBAF assembly (especially, ARID1A recruitment) and its ATPase activity. Together, our data demonstrate that the nBAF complex regulates several aspects of Pol2 transcription and reveal mechanisms underlying activity-induced Pol2 elongation. These findings may offer insights into human maladies etiologically associated with mutational interdiction of BAF functions.

Dynamics of transcription elongation are finely-tuned by dozens of regulatory factors

Project description:Understanding the complex network and dynamics that regulate transcription elongation requires quantitative analysis of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) behavior in a wide variety of regulatory environments. We performed native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) in 42 strains of S. cerevisiae, each missing a known elongation regulator including RNA processing factors, transcription elongation factors, histone variants, chromatin modifiers, and chromatin remodelers and chaperones. For each strain, we determined differentially expressed genes, measured levels of antisense transcription, examined sites of high polymerase density, and identified single-nucleotide loci of Pol II pausing. For each elongation phenotype, we found that wild-type Pol II activity sits in the middle of the dynamic range, indicating that elongation is balanced by the opposing effects of many factors. We find that Pol II elongation at sites of RNA processing is co-transcriptionally controlled by key regulators. Furthermore, Pol II pauses frequently across gene bodies at locations that vary across deletion strains. Meta-analysis of all datasets finds that commonly differentially-expressed genes across the deletion strains exhibit more extreme antisense transcription and polymerase pausing, revealing a link between elongation activity and gene regulation. Thus, regulation of transcription elongation impacts co-transcriptional processing and overall gene expression through precisely balancing Pol II activity by a diverse array of factors.
