Leo1 and Set1-mediated H3K4me3 contribute to sterol homeostasis in yeast [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Project Abstract : Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is predominantly associated with transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and is believed to facilitate transcription initiation. Furthermore, H3K4me3 plays a role in defining cell fate and specific cellular functions. Nevertheless, the precise function of H3K4me3 in transcription activation remains a topic of ongoing debate. The Polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (Paf1C), which is integral to various transcription-related cellular processes, consists of five highly conserved subunits: Paf1, Ctr9, Rtf1, Cdc73, and Leo1. While all subunits of Paf1C are indispensable for the maintenance of H3K4 methylation levels, it is noteworthy that strains lacking Leo1 exhibited unaltered levels of H3K4me3. To elucidate the role of H3K4me3, we conducted a transcriptome analysis coupled with ChIP-sequencing of H3K4me3 in cells lacking Leo1. Our research uncovers a distinctive role of Leo1 in yeast, whereby it plays a pivotal role in maintaining sterol homeostasis through the suppression of Upc2 expression. Importantly, this role stands apart from the functions of other Paf1C subunits. H3K4me3 is essential for promoting the expression of sterol uptake genes that are Upc2-dependent when Leo1 is absent. Additionally, Set1 contributes to sterol homeostasis by regulating iron metabolism and mitochondrial functions rather than directly suppressing Upc2 expression. Therefore, our findings reveal a novel role for Leo1 in sterol homeostasis and highlight the importance of H3K4me3 in promoting transcription of response genes required for sterol uptake.

CDK12 and Integrator-PP2A complex Modulates LEO1 Phosphorylation for Processive Transcription Elongation

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) interacts with Cyclin K to form a functional nuclear kinase that promotes processive transcription elongation through phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain (CTD). To gain a broader understanding of CDK12 cellular function, we used chemical-genetic and phosphoproteomic screening to identify a landscape of nuclear human CDK12 substrates, including regulators of transcription, chromatin organization, and RNA splicing. We further validated LEO1, a subunit of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C), as a bona fide cellular substrate of CDK12. Acute depletion of LEO1, or substituting LEO1 phosphorylation sites with alanine, attenuated PAF1C association with elongating Pol II and impaired processive transcription elongation. We also found that LEO1 interacts with, and is dephosphorylated by, the Integrator-PP2A complex (INTAC) and that INTAC promotes the association of PAF1C with Pol II. Together, this study reveals a previously unknown role for CDK12 and INTAC in regulating LEO1 phosphorylation for transcriptional regulation, providing important insights into gene transcription and its regulation.

Paf1C plays novel subunit-specific roles in alternative cleavage and polyadenylation

Project description:The PAF complex (Paf1C) has been shown to regulate chromatin modifications, gene transcription, and PolII elongation. Here, we provide the first genome-wide analysis of chromatin occupancy by the entire PAF complex in mammalian cells. We show that Paf1C is recruited not only to promoters and gene bodies, but also to regions downstream of cleavage/polyadenylation (pA) sites at 3â ends, a profile that sharply contrasted with the yeast complex. Remarkably, our studies identified novel, subunit-specific links between Paf1C and regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) and upstream antisense transcription. Moreover, we found that depletion of Paf1C subunits also resulted in the accumulation of RNA polymerase II (PolII) over gene bodies, which coincided with APA. Depletion of specific Paf1C subunits leads to global loss of histone H2B ubiquitylation, but surprisingly, there is little impact of Paf1C depletion on other histone modifications, including the tri-methylation of histone H3 on lysines 4 and 36 (H3K4me3 and H3K36me3), previously associated with this complex. Our results provide surprising differences with yeast, while unifying observations that link Paf1C with PolII elongation and RNA processing, and suggest that Paf1C could play a role in protecting transcripts from premature cleavage by preventing PolII accumulation at TSS-proximal pA sites.

RNA Polymerase II-associated factor 1 regulates the release and phosphorylation of paused RNA Polymerase II

Project description:Release of promoter-proximal paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) during early elongation is a critical step in transcriptional regulation in metazoan cells. Paused Pol II release is thought to require the kinase activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) for the phosphorylation of DRB sensitivity-inducing factor, negative elongation factor, and C-terminal domain (CTD) serine-2 of Pol II. We found that Pol II-associated factor 1 (PAF1) is a critical regulator of paused Pol II release, that positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) directly regulates the initial recruitment of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) to genes, and that the subsequent recruitment of CDK12 is dependent on PAF1C. These findings reveal cooperativity among P-TEFb, PAF1C, and CDK12 in pausing release and Pol II CTD phosphorylation. Comparison of the chromatin occupancy of [1] PAF1, CDC73, LEO1, CTR9, total Pol II, and CTD serine 2-phosphorylated Pol II by ChIP-seq in THP1 cells; [2] PAF1, Pol II, Pol II (ser-5p), CDK12, and CDK9 by ChIP-seq in control and PAF1 knockdown cells; [3] LEO1 and Pol II by ChIP-seq in control and flavopiridol treated THP1 cells.

The CDK12-INTAC Axis Modulates LEO1 Phosphorylation for Processive Transcription Elongation

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) interacts with Cyclin K to form a a functional nuclear kinase complex, which has been reported to phosphorylate the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) for transcriptional regulation and co-transcriptional RNA processing. However, the precise mechanisms and targets of CDK12 action remain largely unknown. Here, we combined a chemical genetic screen and phosphoproteomic strategies and identified a landscape of nuclear CDK12 substrates, which included proteins that regulate transcription, chromatin organization, and RNA splicing. Next, we confirmed that the LEO1 subunit of the transcription elongation factor PAF1 complex (PAF1C) is a bona fide substrate of CDK12. Acute depletion of LEO1 reduces Pol II occupancy on the chromatin, while mutations of LEO1 phosphorylation sites to non-phosphorylatable alanine residues attenuated the association of PAF1C with elongating Pol II and chromatin, resulting in impaired processive transcription elongation. Furthermore, LEO1 C-terminus could interact with and be dephosphorylated by the Integrator-PP2A complex (INTAC), while acute depletion of INTAC in cells promotes the association between PAF1C and elongating Pol II on the chromatin. Together, this study provides a novel transcriptional regulatory mechanism that the CDK12-INTAC axis fine-tunes LEO1 phosphorylation for processive transcription elongation.

Zinc finger transcription factors displaced SREBP proteins as the major sterol regulators during Saccharomycotina evolution

Project description:All but a few eukaryotes die without oxygen and respond dynamically to changes in the level of oxygen available to them. One ancient oxygen-requiring biochemical pathway in eukaryotes is the pathway for the biosynthesis of sterols, leading to cholesterol in animals and ergosterol in fungi. Mutations in this pathway are a frequent cause of azole drug resistance in pathogenic fungi. The regulatory mechanism for the sterol pathway is also widely conserved between animals and fungi and is centred on a transcription activator, SREBP, that forms part of a sterol-sensing complex. However, in one group of yeasts – the Saccharomycotina, which includes the major pathogen Candida albicans – control of the sterol pathway has been taken over by an unrelated regulatory protein, Upc2. We show here by analysis of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica that the evolutionary switch from SREBP to Upc2 was a two-step process in which Upc2 appeared in an ancestor of Saccharomycotina, and SREBP subsequently degenerated and lost its sterol-regulatory function while retaining an ancient role in filamentation.

RNA was isolated from Y. lipolytica wildtype (JMY2900) in normoxia (21% oxygen, 4 biological replicates), wildtype (JMY2900) in hypoxia (1% oxygen, 5 biological replicates), upc2 deletion (SMY2) in hypoxia (1% oxygen, 3 biological replicates), and from sre1 (SMY5, SMY8) deletion in hypoxia (1% oxygen, 2 biological replicates). Gene expression was determined using strand-specific RNA-seq.

Here, we provide the first genome-wide analysis of chromatin occupancy by the entire PAF complex in mammalian cells.

The PAF1 Complex Regulates Transcriptional Termination and Reinitiation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Chromatin places fundamental physical constraints on transcription (Gamarra and Narlikar, 2021). The PAF1 complex (PAF1C), a hexamer of PAF1, LEO1, CTR9, SKI8, CDC73 and RTF1, plays a critical role in transcription with incompletely understood mechanisms. During transcriptional elongation, PAF1C is one of the positive elongation factors in complex with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to facilitate elongation through chromatin (Vos et al., 2018), but it is unclear yet if negative elongation factors are needed concurrently to restrain elongation. Here we show that besides decreasing elongation rate, LEO1 knockout in human K562 cells increases transcriptional readthrough and cellular level of C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylated Pol II while increases and decreases transcriptional output of several hundred genes, respectively. Mechanistic analyses taking proteomic, functional genomic and biochemical approaches discovered that PAF1C regulates transcriptional termination in part through recruiting PNUTS-PP1γ complex and facilitates Pol II transcriptional re-initiation through recruiting TOX4-PP1α complex. Moreover, Paf1 conditional knockout in mice severely blocks T cell development, increases cellular level of CTD phosphorylated Pol II, mainly decreases Pol II occupancy and transcriptional output in double positive T cells, and importantly, the regulation of re-initiation by PAF1C through TOX4-PP1α complex is conserved between mouse and human. Our results also suggest that PNUTS-PP1γ and TOX4-PP1α bind PAF1C to restrain Pol II elongation through chromatin. These findings not only establish PAF1C as a critical regulator of transcriptional termination and re-initiation besides elongation but also advanced current understanding of elongation.
