Temporal Analyses Reveal a Pivotal Role for Sense and Anti-sense Enhancer RNAs in Coordinate Immunoglobulin Lambda Locus Activation

ABSTRACT: Transcription enhancers are essential activators of V(D)J recombination that orchestrate non-coding transcription through complementary, unrearranged gene segments. How transcription is coordinately increased at spatially distinct promoters, however, remains poorly understood. Using the murine immunoglobulin lambda (Igλ) locus as model, we find that three enhancer-like elements in the 3’ Igλ domain, Eλ3-1, HSCλ1 and HSE-1, show strikingly similar transcription factor binding dynamics and close spatial proximity, suggesting that they form an active enhancer hub. Temporal analyses show coordinate recruitment of complementary V and J gene segments to this hub, with comparable transcription factor binding dynamics to that at enhancers. We find further that E2A, p300, Mediator and Integrator bind to enhancers as early events, whereas YY1 recruitment and eRNA synthesis occur later, corresponding to transcription activation. Remarkably, the interplay between sense and anti-sense enhancer RNA is central to both active enhancer hub formation and coordinate Igλ transcription: Antisense Eλ3-1 eRNA represses Igλ activation whereas temporal analyses demonstrate that accumulating levels of sense eRNA boost YY1 recruitment to stabilise enhancer hub/promoter interactions and lead to coordinate transcription activation. These studies therefore demonstrate for the first time a critical role for threshold levels of sense versus antisense eRNA in locus activation.

Ligand-Dependent Enhancer Activation Regulated by Topoisomerase-I Activity

Project description:The discovery that enhancers are regulated transcription units, encoding eRNAs, has raised new questions about the mechanisms of their activation. Here, we report an unexpected molecular mechanism that underlies ligand-dependent enhancer activation, based on DNA nicking to relieve torsional stress from eRNA synthesis. Using dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced binding of androgen receptor (AR) to prostate cancer cell enhancers as a model, we show rapid recruitment, within minutes, of DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) to a large cohort of AR-regulated enhancers. Furthermore, we show that the DNA nicking activity of TOP1 is a prerequisite for robust eRNA synthesis and enhancer activation and is kinetically accompanied by the recruitment of ATR and the MRN complex, followed by additional components of DNA damage repair machinery to the AR-regulated enhancers. Together, our studies reveal a linkage between eRNA synthesis and ligand-dependent TOP1-mediated nicking - a strategy exerting quantitative effects on eRNA expression in regulating AR-bound enhancer-dependent transcriptional programs. Genome-wide binding analysis of AR, TOP1, MRE11 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP with or without 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment. Nascent RNA analysis by global nuclear run-on (GRO-seq) in LNCaP cells transfected with siRNA with or without DHT treatment. Distribution of transcriptionally engaged RNA Pol II in LNCaP cells with or without DHT treatment by precision nuclear run-on and sequencing (PRO-seq).

Super-enhancer switching in early mammalian development involves eRNA mediated SWI/SNF recruitment [CUT-RUN]

Project description:The RNA transcribed from enhancer regions, referred to as eRNA, has been suggested to directly activate transcription by helping to recruit transcription factors and co-activators. Although there have been specific examples of eRNA functioning in this way, it is not clear how general this may be. We find the AT-hook of SWI/SNF alone binds preferentially RNA and as part of the esBAF complexes associates with eRNA transcribed from intronic and intergenic regions. SWI/SNF is globally recruited in cis by eRNA to cell-type specific enhancers at two distinct stages in early mammalian development and not at promoters or enhancers that are shared between the two stages. SWI/SNF recruited by eRNA facilitates recruitment and/or activation of MLL3/4, p300/CBP and Mediator co-activators to stage-specific super-enhancers that in the primed embryonic stage activate cell lineage priming related genes. We find a strong connection between ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling and eRNA in cell identity and super-enhancer activation.

Widespread transcription at neuronal activity-regulated enhancers

Project description:We used genome-wide sequencing methods to study stimulus-dependent enhancer function in neurons. We identified ~12,000 neuronal activity-regulated enhancers that are bound by the general transcriptional co-activator CBP in an activity-dependent manner. A function of CBP at enhancers may be to recruit RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), as we also observed activity-regulated RNAPII binding to thousands of enhancers. Remarkably, RNAPII at enhancers transcribes bi-directionally a novel class of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) within enhancer domains defined by the presence of histone H3 that is mono-methylated at lysine 4 (H3K4me1). The level of eRNA expression at neuronal enhancers positively correlates with the level of mRNA synthesis at nearby genes, suggesting that eRNA synthesis occurs specifically at enhancers that are actively engaged in promoting mRNA synthesis. These findings reveal that a widespread mechanism of enhancer activation involves RNAPII binding and eRNA synthesis. Examination of genome-wide binding of three types of modified histones, four transcription factors, and RNA polymerase II (ChIP-Seq), as well as RNA expression (RNA-Seq) before and after membrane depolarization via application of extracellular potassium.

MYC enhancer invasion promotes prognostic cancer type-specific gene programs through an epigenetic switch

Project description:The transcription factor MYC is overexpressed in most cancers, where it drives multiple hallmarks of cancer progression. MYC is known to promote oncogenic transcription by binding to active promoters. In addition, MYC has also been shown to invade distal enhancers when expressed at oncogenic levels, but this enhancer binding has been proposed to have low gene-regulatory potential. Here, we demonstrate that MYC enhancer binding directly promotes cancer type-specific gene programs predictive of poor patient prognosis. MYC induces transcription of enhancer RNA through recruitment of RNAPII, rather than regulating RNAPII pause-release as is the case at promoters. This is mediated by MYC-induced H3K9 demethylation by KDM3A and acetylation by GCN5, leading to enhancer-specific BRD4 recruitment through its bromodomains, which facilitates RNAPII recruitment. Thus, we propose that MYC drives prognostic cancer type-specific gene programs by promoting RNAPII recruitment to enhancers through induction of an epigenetic switch.

Functional Importance of eRNAs for Estrogen-dependent Gene Transcriptional Activation

Project description:The functional importance of gene enhancers in regulated gene expression is well established. In addition to widespread transcription of long non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts in mammalian cells, bidirectional ncRNAs referred to as eRNAs are present on enhancers. However, it has remained unclear whether these eRNAs are functional, or merely a reflection of enhancer activation. Here, we report that 17 ?-estradiol (E2)-bound estrogen receptor alpha (ER?) on enhancers causes a global increase in eRNA transcription on enhancers adjacent to E2 upregulated coding genes. These induced eRNAs, as functional transcripts, appear to exert important roles for the observed ligand-dependent induction of target coding genes, causing an increased strength of specific enhancer:promoter looping initiated by ER? binding. Cohesin, present on many ER?-regulated enhancers even prior to ligand treatment, apparently contributes to E2-dependent gene activation by stabilizing E2/ER?/eRNA-induced enhancer:promoter looping. Our data indicate that eRNAs are likely to exert important functions in many regulated programs of gene transcription. The ChIP-seqs in this study measure the binding landscape of master transcription regulator of estrogen signaling - ER?, together with common histone marks including H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in MCF7 cells. These data serve as the basis to understand the enhancer map and subsequent analysis of eRNA expression using GRO-seq. The GRO-seq measures the trancription of nascent RNAs in the genome. From MCF7 cells treated with veichle or estrodial, we could identify estrogen-regulated eRNAs and subsequently could study their functions.

Upstream Anti-sense Promoters Act as Local Enhancers of Mammalian Protein-coding Genes

Project description:Anti-sense transcription originating upstream of mammalian protein-coding genes is a well-documented phenomenon, but remarkably little is known about the function or regulation of these anti-sense promoters or the non-coding RNAs they generate. Here we define at nucleotide resolution the divergent transcription start sites (TSSs) near mouse mRNAs. We find that coupled sense and anti-sense TSSs form the boundaries of an evolutionarily conserved and nucleosome-depleted regulatory region with dramatically enriched transcription factor (TF) occupancy. Notably, as the distance between sense and anti-sense TSSs increases, so does the level of TF binding and signal-dependent gene activation. We further discover a cluster of anti-sense TSSs in macrophages with an enhancer-like chromatin signature. Remarkably, this signature identifies promoters that are selectively and rapidly activated during immune challenge. We conclude that anti-sense TSSs can serve as potent, local enhancers of sense-strand gene expression by facilitating TF binding and deposition of activating histone modifications.

Coordinate Regulation of Enhancer Transcription at Super-Enhancers

Project description:Using GRO-Seq, we find extensive regulation of enhancer RNAs (eRNA) within super-enhancers in response to lipopolysaccharide treatment in macrophages. Both activation and repression of gene expression are associated with super-enhancers and eRNA transcription dynamics. Co-treatment of LPS and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone targeted specific super-enhancers by attenuating their eRNA expression, leading to reduced expression of key inflammatory genes. We propose that super-enhancers function as molecular rheostats integrating the binding profiles of key regulators to produce dynamic profiles of gene expression. Nascent transcriptome (GRO-Seq) analysis over a time course (0, 20, 60, 180 min) of Lipopolisaccharide and Dexamethasone signaling in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages.
