Regulation of stochastic gene bursting by chromatin-independent acetylation

ABSTRACT: Stochastic transcriptional bursting is now recognized as a universal property of gene expression. While different genes exhibit distinct bursting patterns, the molecular basis for differences in bursting are largely unknown. We have developed and applied a high-throughput-imaging based screening strategy to identify cellular factors and mechanisms that determine the bursting behavior of human genes. Focusing on epigenetic regulators, we find that global acetylation is the strongest acute modulator of burst frequency, size and heterogeneity of bursting. Acetylation similarly affected the Off-time but On-time changes were gene-specific. These effects were not strongly linked to promoter acetylation, which did not correlate with bursting properties and forced promoter acetylation altered bursting for only some genes. Instead, we identified acetylation of the Integrator complex as a key determinant of gene bursting with elevated Integrator acetylation leading to faster bursting. Taken together our results suggest a dominant role of non-histone proteins in determining gene bursting properties and they identify non-epigenetic acetylation of a transcription cofactor as an allosteric modulator of bursting via a pause-release related bursting checkpoint

Allele-specific mRNA expression analysis in 129/CAST hybrid mESCs by single-cell full-length total RNA-sequencing

Project description:Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression can even be observed in the same type of cells, present in a similar environment. Transcriptional bursting is thought to be one of contributing factors to the heterogeneity, but it remains elusive how the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting (e.g. burst size, burst frequency, and noise induced by transcriptional bursting) are regulated in mammalian cells. Here, by using single-cell, full-length total RNA-sequencing, we performed genome-wide analysis of transcriptional bursting in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We found that the kinetics of transcriptional bursting is gene-specific and is determined by a combination of promoter and gene body binding proteins, including polycomb repressive complex 2 and transcription elongation-related factors.

Co-condensation between transcription factor and coactivator p300 modulates transcriptional bursting kinetics

Project description:The coactivator p300/CBP regulates genes by facilitating the assembly of transcriptional machinery and by acetylating histones and other factors. However, it remains mostly unclear how both functions of p300 are dynamically coordinated during gene control. Here, we showed that p300 appears to orchestrate two functions through the formation of dynamic co-condensates with certain transcription factors (TFs), which is mediated by the interactions between the TF’s trans-activation domain (TAD) and the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of p300. Co-condensation enables spatially defined, all-or-none activation of p300’s catalytic activity, priming the recruitment of other coactivators including Brd4. We further revealed that co-condensation modulates transcriptional initiation rate and burst duration of target genes, underlying nonlinear and cooperative gene regulatory functions. Intriguingly, such modulation is consistent with how p300 shapes transcriptional bursting kinetics globally. Together, complementary lines of evidence suggest a new p300-mediated gene control mechanism, where TF and p300 co-condensation contributes to transcriptional bursting regulation and cooperative gene control.

RNA Pol II Length and Disorder Enable Cooperative Scaling of Transcriptional Bursting

Project description:RNA Polymerase II contains a disordered C-terminal domain (CTD) whose length enigmatically correlates with genome size. The CTD is crucial to eukaryotic transcription, yet the functional and evolutionary relevance of this variation remains unclear. Here, we use smFISH, live imaging, and RNA-seq to investigate how CTD length and disorder influence transcription. We find that length modulates the size and frequency of transcriptional bursting. Disorder is highly conserved and mediates CTD-CTD interactions, an ability we show is separable from protein sequence and necessary for efficient transcription. We build a data-driven quantitative model, simulations of which recapitulate experiments and support CTD length promotes initial polymerase recruitment to the promoter but slows down its release from it, and that CTD-CTD interactions enable promoter recruitment of multiple polymerases. Our results reveal how these tunable parameters provide access to a range of transcriptional activity, offering a new perspective for the mechanistic significance of CTD length and disorder in transcription across eukaryotes.

RNA-seq analysis of mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in medium containing MEK and Akt inhibitors

Project description:Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression can even be observed in the same type of cells, present in a similar environment. Transcriptional bursting is thought to be one of contributing factors to the heterogeneity, but it remains elusive how the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting (e.g. burst size, burst frequency, and noise induced by transcriptional bursting) are regulated in mammalian cells. To unbiasedly identify genes regulating the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting, we performed large-scale CRISPR/-Cas9 based screening and functional analysis, and found that Akt/MAPK signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting. To further characterize how these pathways affect mESC gene expression programs, we performed RNA-Seq analysis of mESCs cultured in standard (Std), 2i and Akt/MAPK signal-inhibitor containing medium (PD-MK). We found that expression levels of some genes encoding transcription elongation related factors were upregulated in PD-MK condition.

An allosteric/intrinsic mechanism supports termination of snRNA transcription.

Project description:Termination of protein-coding gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) depends on endonucleolytic cleavage at the poly(A) site and the activity of a 5’->3’ “torpedo” exoribonuclease. Other Pol II transcripts also undergo endonucleolytic cleavage suggesting common themes for its termination. Nevertheless, many RNA polymerases employ intrinsic/allosteric termination that directly defines transcript 3’ ends. We have analysed termination of snRNA transcription in humans, which utilises the endoribonucleolytic integrator complex. Integrator is involved, but termination continues after its depletion. This implicates additional mechanisms and shows that endo- and 5’->3’ exonuclease activities are not necessarily a basis for all Pol II termination. Although the alternative process acts as a failsafe in the absence of integrator it contributes significantly to snRNA termination in the natural situation. Long-read sequencing reveals its products to have stochastic 3’ ends that are terminated before integrator cleavage, ruling out 5’->3’ exonuclease contribution(s) and supporting an allosteric/intrinsic mechanism. Termination of some snRNA transcription occurs at T-runs further indicating common principles between this mechanism and those used by other RNA polymerases.

Deciphering the relationship between polycomb repression and stochastic gene expression from single-cell RNA-seq data

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes are important histone modifiers, which silence gene expression, yet there exists a subset of polycomb-bound genes actively transcribed by RNA polymerase II. To investigate the switching between polycomb-repressed and active states, we sequence mRNA from OS25 mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in serum/LIF. To validate our finding that polycomb modulates stochastic gene expression and transcriptional bursting, we perform knockout experiments and we sequence mRNA from Ring1A knockout (untreated) and Ring1A/B double knockout cells with constitutive Ring1A knockout and tamoxifen-inducible conditional Ring1B knockout.
