Protein Phosphatase PP1 Regulation of Pol II Phosphorylation is Linked to Transcription Termination and Allelic Exclusion of VSG Genes and TERRA in Trypanosomes.

ABSTRACT: Base J is a modified DNA base that is enriched at RNA polymerase II termination sites. We previously found that base J functions to prevent readthrough transcription within gene clusters via the PJW/PP1 complex. Analysis of the complex in T. brucei faild to identify the catalytic PP1 component. We now show the RNAi ablation of PP1-1 in T. brucei leads to readthrough transcription and expression of downstream genes.

Base J binding protein (JBP3) is a Component of a Novel Trypanosomatid PNUTS-PP1 Phosphatase Complex involved in RNA Pol II Transcription Termination

Project description:Base J is a modified DNA base that is enriched at RNA polymerase II termination sites and telomeres. We previously found that base J functions to prevent readthrough transcription within gene clusters in T. brucei. We now identify a complex in Leishmania and T. brucei composed of PNUTS, PP1, Wdr82 and a J-binding protein (JBP3). We show the RNAi ablation of PNUTS in T. brucei leads to readthrough transcription and expression of downstream genes.

Knockout of PP1 in Leishmania major reveals a critical role for protein phosphatase 1 during RNA polymerase II transcription termination

Project description:Base J is a modified DNA base that is enriched at RNA polymerase II termination sites. We previously identified a complex in Leishmania major and T. brucei composed of PNUTS, PP1, Wdr82 and a J-binding protein (JBP3).

VEX1 controls the allelic exclusion required for antigenic variation in trypanosomes.

Project description:Allelic exclusion underpins antigenic variation and immune evasion in African trypanosomes. These bloodstream parasites use RNA polymerase-I (pol-I) to transcribe just one telomeric variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) gene at a time, producing superabundant and switchable VSG coats. We identified trypanosome VSG exclusion-1 (VEX1) using a genetic screen for defects in telomere-exclusive expression. VEX1 was sequestered by the active VSG and silencing of other VSGs failed when VEX1 was either ectopically expressed or depleted, indicating positive and negative regulation, respectively. Positive regulation affected VSGs and nontelomeric pol-I-transcribed genes, whereas negative regulation primarily affected VSGs. Negative regulation by VEX1 also affected telomeric pol-I-transcribed reporter constructs, but only when they contained blocks of sequence sharing homology with a pol-I-transcribed locus. We conclude that restricted positive regulation due to VEX1 sequestration, combined with VEX1-dependent, possibly homology-dependent silencing, drives a "winner-takes-all" mechanism of allelic exclusion.

Nuclear Phosphatidylinositol 5-Phosphatase Is Essential for Allelic Exclusion of Variant Surface Glycoprotein Genes in Trypanosomes.

Project description:Allelic exclusion of variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) genes is essential for African trypanosomes to evade the host antibody response by antigenic variation. The mechanisms by which this parasite expresses only one of its ?2,000 VSG genes at a time are unknown. We show that nuclear phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatase (PIP5Pase) interacts with repressor activator protein 1 (RAP1) in a multiprotein complex and functions in the control of VSG allelic exclusion. RAP1 binds PIP5Pase substrate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3], and catalytic mutation of PIP5Pase that inhibits PI(3,4,5)P3 dephosphorylation results in simultaneous transcription of VSGs from all telomeric expression sites (ESs) and from silent subtelomeric VSG arrays. PIP5Pase and RAP1 bind to telomeric ESs, especially at 70-bp repeats and telomeres, and their binding is altered by PIP5Pase inactivation or knockdown, implying changes in ES chromatin organization. Our data suggest a model whereby PIP5Pase controls PI(3,4,5)P3 binding by RAP1 and, thus, RAP1 silencing of telomeric and subtelomeric VSG genes. Hence, allelic exclusion of VSG genes may entail control of nuclear phosphoinositides.

Project description:RNA Sequencing of H1 WT hESCs, H1 QSER1 KO hESCs, H1 TET1 KO hESCs, H1 QSER1/TET1 DKO hESCs, WT Day10 embryoid bodies (EBs), QSER1 KO Day10 EBs, TET1 KO Day10 EBs, QSER1/TET1 DKO Day10 EBs, WT pancreatic progenitors (PP1), QSER1 KO PP1, TET1 KO PP1, and QSER1/TET1 DKO PP1. DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and dysregulation can cause serious pathological conditions. Key enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation are known, but how they cooperate to tightly regulate the methylation landscape remains a central question. Utilizing a knockin DNA methylation reporter, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen in human embryonic stem cells to discover DNA methylation regulators. The top screen hit was an uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be a key guardian of bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA methylation valleys (or canyons). We further demonstrate cooperation of QSER1 and TET1 through genetic and biochemical interactions to inhibit DNMT3-mediated de novo methylation and safeguard developmental programs.

Protein phosphatase PP1-NIPP1 activates mesenchymal genes in HeLa cells

Project description:The deletion of the protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) regulator NIPP1 is embryonic lethal during gastrulation, hinting at a key role of PP1-NIPP1 in lineage specification. Consistent with this notion we show here that a mild, stable overexpression of NIPP1 in HeLa cells caused a massive induction of genes of the mesenchymal lineage, in particular smooth/cardiac-muscle and matrix markers. This reprogramming was associated with the formation of actin-based stress fibers and retracting filopodia, and a reduced proliferation potential. The NIPP1-induced mesenchymal transition required functional substrate and PP1-binding domains, suggesting that it involves the selective dephosphorylation of substrates of PP1-NIPP1. In total 16 samples were processed. Four different cell lines were analysed: HTO_parental, HTO_NIPP1wt, HTO_NIPP1m (= alias NIPP1-Pm) and HTO_NIPP1-Pa. For each cell line 4 replicates were obtained. The HTO_parental cell line is the control cell line. For the HTO_NIPP1wt and the HTO_NIPP1-Pa the 4 replicates were obtained from two replicates of two different transgenic cell lines expressing FlagNIPP1wt (cell line wt n°1 and 2) and FlagNIPP1-Pa (cell line n°1 and 2), respectively. Each cell line was derived from the same parental control cell line.

Nuclear organization and replication timing are coupled through RIF1-PP1 interaction

Project description:Three-dimensional genome organisation and replication timing are known to be correlated, however, it remains unknown whether nuclear architecture overall plays an instructive role in the replication-timing program and, if so, how. Here we demonstrate that RIF1 is a molecular hub that co-regulates both processes. Both nuclear organisation and replication timing depend upon the interaction between RIF1 and PP1. However, whereas nuclear architecture requires the full complement of RIF1 and its interaction with PP1, replication timing is not sensitive to RIF1 dosage. RIF1’s role in replication timing also extends beyond its interaction with PP1. Availing of this separation-of-function approach, we have therefore identified in RIF1 dual function the molecular bases of the co-dependency of the replication-timing program and nuclear architecture.
