FACT orchestrates the interplay between chromatin structure and transcription

ABSTRACT: FACT has been identified as a histone chaperone that enables transcription through chromatin in vitro, but its role in regulating chromatin structure and transcription in vivo remains unclear. In this study, we have investigated the function and molecular mechanism of FACT in unprecedented detail, by using a rapid depletion system in combination with high-resolution genomic analyses. We show that acute depletion of FACT leads to changes in 3D chromatin structure and a concomitant multilayered transcriptional defect, including loss of promoter-proximal pausing, deregulated elongation and increased drop-off of RNA Pol II. Integration of in vitro transcription assays shows that FACT stimulates RNA Pol II pausing by stabilizing nucleosomal architecture, while simultaneously promoting transcription through the +1 nucleosome. In addition to providing detailed mechanistic insight into the seemingly contradictory functions of FACT and the regulation of promoter-proximal pausing, our study indicates a direct coupling of chromatin structure and transcription.

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.

Drosophila FACT Regulates Promoter Proximal Pol II Pausing and Chromatin Architecture [RNA-seq]

Project description:The highly conserved histone chaperone FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is thought to contribute to the disassembly and reassembly of nucleosomes in the wake of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) passage through chromatin. However, FACT’s roles in chromatin biology and transcriptional regulation in vivo in higher eukaryotes are not well understood. Here, we report that depletion of FACT leads to a reduction in the duration of promoter-proximal pausing by Pol II in Drosophila S2 cells. In addition, FACT depletion leads to a modest decrease in the occupancy of histone H3, and to decrease in occupancy of histone H2A.v in promoter-proximal nucleosomes. Finally, we observed a dramatic 5’ to 3’ repositioning of the co-transcriptionally deposited histone modifications H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 in the FACT depleted cells. Taken together, our findings are consistent with the model that FACT contributes to the interplay between chromatin architecture and control of Pol II promoter-proximal pausing.

A Role for FACT in RNA Polymerase II Promoter-Proximal Pausing

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is an evolutionarily conserved histone chaperone that was initially identified as an activity capable of promoting RNA polymerase II transcription through nucleosomes in vitro. In this report, we describe a global analysis of FACT function in Pol II transcription in Drosophila. We present evidence that loss of FACT has a dramatic impact on Pol II elongation-coupled processes including H3K4 and H3K36 methylation, consistent with a role for FACT in coordinating histone modification and chromatin architecture during Pol II transcription. Importantly, we identify a role for FACT in the maintenance of promoter proximal Pol II pausing, a key step in transcription activation in higher eukaryotes. These findings bring to light a broader role for FACT in the regulation of Pol II transcription.

TFIID enables RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing

Project description:RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcribes all protein-coding and many non-coding RNAs in the human genome. Pol II transcription initiation is governed by the Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC), which contains TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, pol II, and Mediator. After initiation, pol II enzymes typically pause after transcribing less than 100 bases, and paused polymerases represent a common regulatory intermediate. Accordingly, paused pol II has been implicated in enhancer function, development and homeostasis, and diseases ranging from cancer to viral pathogenesis. Precisely how pol II promoter-proximal pausing is enforced and regulated remains unclear; however, protein complexes such as NELF and DSIF increase pausing whereas the activity of CDK9 (P-TEFb complex) correlates with pause release. To address specific mechanistic questions about pol II pausing and its regulation, we reconstituted human pol II promoter-proximal pausing in vitro, entirely with purified factors (no extracts). As expected, NELF and DSIF increased pol II pausing in vitro, whereas P-TEFb promoted pause release. Unexpectedly, the PIC alone was sufficient to reconstitute pol II pausing, suggesting that pausing is an inherent property of the PIC. In agreement, pol II pausing was lost upon replacement of the TFIID complex with TATA-binding protein (TBP); moreover, pausing was dependent upon TFIID subunits TAF1 and TAF2. TAF1/2 bind genomic DNA downstream of the pol II initiation site, invoking a “complex interaction” model for pausing. Consistent with this model, PRO-Seq experiments revealed increased transcription upon acute depletion (t=60 min) of TAF1 and TAF2 in human cells, and pol II pausing was disrupted at thousands of genes. Similar results were obtained in TAF1-depleted Drosophila S2 cells. Collectively, these data establish the general transcription factor TFIID as a genome-wide regulator of pol II promoter-proximal pausing.
