Defective Integrator activity shapes the transcriptome of patients with multiple sclerosis: patient data

ABSTRACT: While the role of the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely acknowledged, our comprehension of the transcriptional foundations of this prevalent neurological disorder remains largely incomplete. Here, we conducted high-depth RNA sequencing on monocytes from a cohort of patients with MS to explore rare RNA species associated with the disease. In a subset of the patients, a markedly altered transcriptome was observed, coinciding with a decreased expression of the epigenetic silencer HP1α/CBX5. These patients also exhibited diminished expression of multiple genes encoding subunits of the Integrator complex. Alongside, there were clear indications of decreased Integrator activity, including impaired U snRNA and enhancer-RNA maturation/degradation and dysregulated RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pause-release. Inactivation of Cbx5 in the mouse recapitulated the defects in Integrator activity and resulted in hypersensitivity to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). While these data implied an unexpected function for HP1α in regulating RNAPII pause-release, they also showed that the dysregulation of numerous genes in MS patients could be attributed to either the biased distribution of transcription toward the 5' end of genes or the heightened elongation and stability of enhancer RNAs. An impaired Integrator activity, which has been hinted at by mutations within Integrator subunits previously linked to an increased risk of MS, provides a well-defined mechanistic understanding of the transcriptional anomalies associated with the disease, while introducing new criteria to categorize MS patients.

Integrator complex regulates NELF-mediated RNA Polymerase II pause/release and processivity at coding genes [RNA-seq]

Project description:RNAPII pausing/termination shortly after initiation is a hallmark of gene regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are still to be uncovered. Here, we show that NELF interacts with Integrator complex subunits (INTScom) forming a stable complex with RNPII and Spt5. The interaction between NELF and INTScom subunits is RNA and DNA independent. Using both HIV-1 promoter and genome wide analyses, we demonstrate that Integrator subunits specifically control NELF-mediated RNAPII pause/release at coding genes. The strength of RNAPII pausing is determined by the nature of the NELF-associated complex. Interestingly, in addition to controlling RNAPII pause release INTS11 catalytic subunit of the INTScom is required for the synthesis of full length mRNA. Finally, INTScom-target genes are enriched in HIV-1 TAR/ NELF-binding element and in a 3’box sequence required for snRNA biogenesis. Revealing these unexpected functions of INTScom in regulating RNAPII pausing/release and completion of mRNA synthesis of NELF-target genes will contribute to our understanding of the gene expression cycle.

A PP2A-Integrator complex fine-tunes transcription by opposing CDK9

Project description:Gene expression by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by Cyclindependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The RNAPII pausing checkpoint, engaged after transcription initiation, is controlled by CDK9 to regulate transcription in metazoans. We discovered that CDK9-mediated RNAPII pause-release is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex. PP2A dynamically competes for key CDK9 substrates, DSIF and RNAPIICTD, and is recruited to transcription pausing sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. INTS6 depletion confers resistance to CDK9 inhibition in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines. Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLLrearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

Distinct pathways for removal of defective RNA polymerase II transcription complexes at a promoter-proximal pause checkpoint

Project description:The Integrator complex interacts with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at promoter-proximal pause sites but its function there remains uncertain. Here, we show that when Integrator function is compromised by loss of INTS6, RNAPII interacts increasingly with proteins that mediate its dissociation from DNA, including CUL3-ARMC5, which ubiquitylates Ser5-phosphorylated Rpb1 and targets it for degradation. ARMC5-dependent RNAPII ubiquitylation is activated by defects in factors required for correctly regulated promoter-proximal pausing, including Integrator, DSIF and mRNA capping enzyme. This ARMC5 checkpoint curtails an appreciable fraction of RNAPII transcription, with ARMC5 knockout cells producing uncapped, nascent RNA transcripts that fail to mature into stable mRNA. Concomitant loss of INTS6 and ARMC5 greatly stabilizes RNAPII at the pause and has severe consequences for cell growth and viability. Our data support a model in which CRL3ARMC5 functions alongside Integrator in a checkpoint mechanism that removes faulty RNAPII complexes at promoter-proximal pause sites to safeguard transcription integrity.
