TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing factors [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 to nuclear speckle condensates independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal TAF2 proximity to RNA splicing factors including specific interactions of the TAF2 IDR with SRRM2 in nuclear speckles. Deleting the IDR from TAF2 does not majorly impact global gene expression but results in changes of alternative splicing events. Further, genome-wide binding analyses suggest that the TAF2 IDR impedes TAF2 promoter association by guiding TAF2 to nuclear speckles. This study demonstrates that an IDR within the large multiprotein complex TFIID controls nuclear compartmentalization and thus links distinct molecular processes, namely transcription initiation and RNA splicing.

TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing – data-independent acquisition MS

Project description:TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that TAF2 exhibits close proximities to RNA-binding proteins, but that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the splicing factor SRRM2. Modulation of TAF2 protein levels elicits alternative splicing (AS) events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport, some of which overlap with SRRM2-regulated AS events. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles links basal transcription factor TFIID to RNA splicing

Project description:TFIID is an essential eukaryotic transcription factor, which is required for RNA polymerase II promoter recognition and activation. As a multiprotein complex, TFIID contains several intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but the functions of these IDRs are unknown. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives the TFIID subunit TAF2 to nuclear speckles, where it forms biomolecular condensates, separate from the TFIID complex. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR is required for the interaction with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2, which is thereby recruited to TFIID. The formation of SRRM2-free TFIID complexes elicits a set of unique alternative splicing events. These include events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Together, these data identify an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular switch between nuclear compartments to control protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Cytoplasmic complex comprising TAF2, TAF8, TAF10 provides evidence for nuclear holo-TFIID assembly from preformed submodules

Project description:General transcription factor TFIID is a cornerstone of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation in eukaryotic nuclei. Human TFIID is a megadalton-sized multiprotein complex composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). The cellular mechanism of TFIID assembly is poorly understood. In the cytoplasm of human cells, we discovered a heterotrimeric TFIID sub-complex consisting of the TAF2, TAF8 and TAF10 proteins. Native mass-spectrometry uncovered the interactions between the TAFs, defining a central role of TAF8 in nucleating the complex. X-ray crystallography revealed a non-canonical arrangement of the TAF8-TAF10 histone fold domains (HFDs). TAF2 binds to multiple motifs within the TAF8 C-terminal region, and these interactions dictate TAF2 incorporation into a core-TFIID complex that exists in the nucleus. Our results provide evidence for a step-wise assembly pathway of nuclear holo-TFIID, regulated by nuclear import of preformed cytoplasmic submodules.

ChIP-chip from H9 hESCs for RNA Polymerase II, TBP, TAF3, TAF5, TAF7, and TAF11

Project description:The general transcription factor TFIID is composed of the TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) and approximately 14 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). Here we find, unexpectedly, that undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) contain only six TAFs (TAFs 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11), whereas following differentiation all TAFs are expressed. Directed and global chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses reveal an unprecedented promoter occupancy pattern: most active genes are bound by only TAFs 3 and 5 along with TBP, whereas the remaining active genes are bound by TBP and all six hESC TAFs. Consistent with these results, hESCs contain a previously undescribed complex containing TAFs 2, 6, 7, 11 and TBP. Altering the composition of hESC TAFs, either by depletion of TAFs that are present or ectopic expression of TAFs that are absent, results in misregulation of pluripotency gene expression and induction of differentiation. Thus, the selective expression and use of TAFs underlies the ability of hESCs to self-renew. ChIP-chip was used in this study to assess the global pattern of TAF recruitment at a gene promoters, to verify the existence of two classes of genes which differentially recruit and use TAF proteins for transcription initiation.

Importance of TAF8 regions for TFIID lobe B assembly, or for TAF2 interactions, are required for embryonic stem cell survival

Project description:The human general transcription factor TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). In eukaryotic cells, TFIID is thought to nucleate RNA polymerase II (Pol II) preinitiation complex formation on all protein coding gene promoters and thus, be crucial for Pol II transcription. TFIID is composed of three lobes, named A, B and C. Structural studies showed that TAF8 is forming a histone fold pair in lobe B and connecting lobe B to lobe C. In the present study, we have investigated the requirement of the different regions of TAF8 for in vitro TFIID assembly, and the importance of certain TAF8 regions for mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) viability. We have identified a TAF8 region, different from the histone fold domain of TAF8, important for assembling with the 5TAF core complex in lobe B, and four regions of TAF8 each individually required for interacting with TAF2 in lobe C. Moreover, we show that the 5TAF core-interacting TAF8 domain, and the proline rich domain of TAF8 interacting with TAF2, are both required for mouse embryonic stem cell survival. Thus, our study demonstrates that TAF8 regions involving in the connection of lobe B to lobe C are crucial for TFIID function and consequent ESC survival.
