Determinant of m6A regional preference by transcriptional dynamics

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant chemical modification occurring on eukaryotic mRNAs, and has been reported to be involved in almost all stages of mRNA metabolism. The distribution of m6A sites is notably asymmetric along mRNAs, with a strong preference toward the 3’ terminus of the transcript. How m6A regional preference is shaped remains incompletely understood. In this study, by performing m6A-seq on chromatin-associated RNAs, we found that m6A regional preference arises during transcription. Nucleosome occupancy is remarkedly increased in the region downstream of m6A sites, suggesting an intricate interplay between m6A methylation and transcriptional dynamics. Notably, we found a remarkable slowdown of Pol-II movement around m6A sites. In addition, inhibiting Pol-II movement increases nearby m6A methylation levels. By analyzing massively parallel assays for m6A, we found that RNA secondary structures inhibit m6A methylation. Remarkably, the m6A sites associated with Pol-II pausing tend to be embedded within RNA secondary structures. These results suggest that Pol-II pausing could affect the accessibility of m6A motifs to the methyltransferase complex and subsequent m6A methylation by mediating RNA secondary structure. Overall, our study reveals a crucial role of transcriptional dynamics in the formation of m6A regional preference.

A Unified View of the Sequence and Functional Organization of the Human RNA Polymerase II Promoter

Project description:To expand our understanding of the interplay of human RNA polymerase II (Pol II) promoter elements, promoter-proximal pausing, local chromatin structure, and co-transcriptional RNA processing, the 5′ and 3′ ends of nascent, capped transcripts and the locations of nearby nucleosomes were accurately identified. High-quality visualization tools revealed sequence elements defining the core promoter, sites of pausing, and nucleosome positioning across over 177,000 transcription start regions (TSRs). We found that cap methylation begins as transcripts attain a length of about 30 nt. A nuclear run-off assay was developed that utilizes the unique properties of the DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) to demonstrate the relative location of nucleosomes and paused Pol II. Our data support the conclusion that human Pol II promoters are functional TFIID binding sites with built-in downstream information directing ubiquitous promoter proximal pausing and the downstream nucleosome location.

Co-transcriptional histone H2B monoubiquitylation is tightly coupled with RNA polymerase II elongation rate

Project description:Various histone modifications decorate nucleosomes within transcribed genes. Among these, monoubiquitylation of histone H2B (H2Bub1) and methylation of histone H3 on lysines 36 (H3K36me2/3) and 79 (H3K79me2/3) correlate positively with gene expression. By measuring the progression of the transcriptional machinery along genes within live cells, we now report that H2B monoubiquitylation occurs co-transcriptionally and accurately reflects the advance of RNA polymerase II (Pol II). In contrast, H3K36me3 and H3K79me2 are less dynamic and represent Pol II movement less faithfully. High resolution ChIP-seq reveals that H2Bub1 levels are selectively reduced at exons, and decrease in an exon-dependent stepwise manner towards the 3' end of genes. Exonic depletion of H2Bub1 in gene bodies is highly correlated with Pol II pausing at exons, suggesting elongation rate changes associated with intron-exon structure. Overall, our data shed light on the organization of H2Bub1 within transcribed genes, and single out H2Bub1 as a reliable marker for ongoing transcription elongation.

Heat-shock protein 90 globally targets paused promoters and regulates environment-induced gene expression

Project description:In this study we provide evidence that Hsp90 binds chromatin at specific sites close to several TSS in Drosophila S2 cell line. In addition of finding a preference for stalled promoter regions of annotated genes, we uncover many intergenic Hsp90 binding sites coinciding with non-annotated transcription start sites. Interestingly, this set includes promoters for primary transcripts of microRNA genes, thereby expanding the scope of Hsp90 to transcriptional control of many genes. We finally conclude that Hsp90 contacts NelfE and thus regulates pol II pausing. Our Dataset comprises of 1 ChIP-seq sample using chromatin from S2 cells which was immunoprecipitated, using antibodies against Drosophila Hsp90. The two biological replicates are submitted along with the input replicates.

m6A in mRNA coding regions promotes translation via the RNA helicase-containing YTHDC2

Project description:Dynamic mRNA modification in the form of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) adds considerable richness and sophistication to gene regulation. The m6A mark is asymmetrically distributed along mature mRNAs, with a strong preference around the stop codon and 3’UTR. Nevertheless, approximately 35% of m6A residues are located within the coding region (CDS). It has been suggested that methylation in CDS slows down translation elongation by interfering the decoding process. However, neither the decoding feature of endogenous mRNAs nor the physiological significance of CDS m6A has been clearly defined. By integrating Ribo-seq and m6A-seq data sets, we found that CDS m6A methylation leads to ribosome pausing in a codon-specific manner. Unexpectedly, removing CDS m6A modification from these transcripts results in a further decrease of translation. A systemic analysis of RNA structural datasets revealed that CDS m6A methylation positively regulates translation by resolving mRNA secondary structures. We further demonstrate that the elongation-promoting effect of CDS methylation requires the RNA helicase-containing m6A reader YTHDC2. Our findings established the physiological significance of CDS methylation and uncovered non-overlapping function of m6A reader proteins.

RNA Polymerase II Pausing Can Be Retained or Acquired During Activation of Genes Involved in the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition

Project description:Promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing is implicated in the regulation of gene transcription. However, the mechanisms of pausing including its dynamics during transcriptional responses remain to be fully understood. We performed global analysis of short capped RNAs and Pol II Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing in MCF-7 breast cancer cells to map Pol II pausing across the genome, and used permanganate footprinting to specifically follow pausing during transcriptional activation of several genes involved in the Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). We find that the gene for EMT master regulator Snail (SNAI1), but not Slug (SNAI2), shows evidence of Pol II pausing before activation. Transcriptional activation of the paused SNAI1 gene is accompanied by a further increase in Pol II pausing signal whereas activation of non-paused SNAI2 gene results in the acquisition of a typical pausing signature. The increase in pausing signal reflects increased transcription initiation without changes in Pol II pausing. Activation of the heat shock HSP70 gene involves pausing release that speeds up Pol II turnover, but does not change pausing location. We suggest that Pol II pausing is retained during transcriptional activation and can further undergo regulated release in a signal-specific manner. Untreated MCF-7 cells were analyzed for the distribution of Pol II using ChIP-sequencing with Anti-Pol II N-20 antibody (two independent biological replicates, A, B), and for the distribution of paused RNA polymerase II by sequencing of short capped RNAs (scRNAs) prepared from nuclei (three independent biological replicates, 1-3). All samples were sequenced on a MiSeq instrument in paired-end format
