TFIIH kinase CDK7 drives cell proliferation through a common core transcription factor network

ABSTRACT: We combined cryo-EM, transcriptomics, and a clinically relevant inhibitor to define how the TFIIH-associated CDK7 kinase coordinately controls the cell cycle and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. CDK7 inhibition rapidly blocked expression of constitutively active genes, whereas inducible genes were unaffected. Distinct sets of sequence-specific, DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) regulate constitutive vs. inducible genes; accordingly, inducible TFs (e.g. HSF1) were refractory to CDK7 inhibition. By contrast, CDK7 was required to maintain activity of a core set of promoter-associated TFs that drive proliferative gene expression programs; these core TFs (n=78) are constitutively active in proliferating cells. Thus, a major biological function for CDK7 is regulation of TFs that drive cell proliferation, revealing an apparent universal mechanism by which CDK7 coordinates RNAPII transcription with cell cycle regulation.

Selective inhibition of CDK7 reveals high-confidence targets and new models for TFIIH function in transcription

Project description:CDK7 associates with the 10-subunit TFIIH complex and regulates transcription by phosphorylating the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Few additional CDK7 substrates are known. Here, using the covalent inhibitor SY-351 and quantitative phosphoproteomics, we identified CDK7 kinase substrates in human cells. Among hundreds of high-confidence targets, the vast majority are unique to CDK7 (i.e. distinct from other transcription-associated kinases), with a subset that suggest novel cellular functions. Transcription-associated factors were predominant CDK7 substrates, including SF3B1, U2AF2, and other splicing components. Accordingly, widespread and diverse splicing defects, such as alternative exon inclusion and intron retention, were characterized in CDK7-inhibited cells. Combined with biochemical assays, we establish that CDK7 directly activates other transcription-associated kinases CDK9, CDK12, and CDK13, invoking a “master regulator” role in transcription. We further demonstrate that TFIIH restricts CDK7 kinase function to the RNAPII CTD, whereas other substrates (e.g. SPT5, SF3B1) are phosphorylated by the 3-subunit CDK-activating kinase (CAK; CCNH, MAT1, CDK7). These results suggest new models for CDK7 function in transcription and implicate CAK dissociation from TFIIH as essential for kinase activation. This straightforward regulatory strategy ensures CDK7 activation is spatially and temporally linked to transcription, and may apply toward other transcription-associated kinases.

Disruption of TFIIH activities generates a transcriptional stress gene expression response and reveals possible new targets against cancer

Project description:The global effect on transcription between cancer cells and their progenitors and investigating how these compounds affect TFIIH integrity. Here, we used an oncogenesis model to compare the effect of TFIIH inhibitors: TPL and THZ1 between transformed cells and their progenitors. RNA-seq and RNAPII-ChIP-seq experiments showed that although the levels of many transcripts were reduced, the levels of a significant number were increased after TPL treatment, with maintained or increased RNAPII promoter occupancy

CDK7/TFIIH regulates SETD1A/B activity

Project description:Affinity Purification and Mass Spectrometry (AP-MS) using the phosphorylated RNAPII C-terminal domain (CTD) identified the capping enzyme and the H3K4 methyltransferase complex SETD1A/B. Subsequent inhibition of CDK7 revealed displaced H3K4me3 marks at the 3'-end of genes.

Systematic mutagenesis identifies p52/Tfb2 residues required for XPB/Ssl2 function within TFIIH and genetic interactions with TFB6

Project description:TFIIH is an evolutionarily conserved complex that plays central roles in both RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcription and DNA repair. As an integral component of the pol II Pre-Initiation Complex, TFIIH regulates the activity of the pol II enzyme in numerous ways. One of the essential functions of TFIIH resides in its XPB/Ssl2 subunit. XPB/Ssl2 is an ATP-dependent DNA translocase that stimulates promoter opening prior to transcription initiation. Crosslinking-mass spectrometry and cryo-EM results have shown a conserved interaction network involving XPB/Ssl2 and the C-terminal Hub region of the p52/Tfb2 core subunit. Here, we systematically mutagenized the HubA region of Tfb2 and screened for growth phenotypes in a TFB6 deletion background in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We identified six lethal and twelve conditional mutants. Growth phenotypes of all but three of the conditional mutants were suppressed in the presence of Tfb6, thus identifying a functional interaction between Tfb2 HubA mutants and Tfb6, a protein that dissociates Ssl2 from TFIIH. Biochemical analysis of p52/Tfb2 mutants with severe growth phenotypes revealed defects in XPB/Ssl2 association. Further characterization of these Tfb2 mutant cells revealed defects in induction of Gal genes, and reduced occupancy TFIIH and pol II at Gal gene promoters, suggesting that functional TFIIH is required for proper Pol II recruitment to PICs in vivo. Consistent with recent structural models of TFIIH, our results identify key residues in the p52/Tfb2 HubA domain that are required for stable incorporation of XPB/Ssl2 into TFIIH, and for pol II transcription.

CDK7 inhibition suppresses RNA polymerase II re-initiation and triggers degradation of elongation and 3'-end processing factors

Project description:CDK7 regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiation, elongation, and termination through incompletely-defined mechanisms. Biochemical reconstitution of RNAPII transcription initiation showed that CDK7 inhibition suppressed RNAPII activity by blocking promoter escape and re-initiation and this was Mediator- and TFIID-dependent. These in vitro results were consistent with genomics and transcriptomics experiments in human cells; CDK7 inhibition globally reduced transcription and increased RNAPII promoter-proximal pausing. Moreover, we observed termination defects in CDK7-inhibited cells; unexpectedly, this coincided with rapid, widespread degradation of elongation and 3'-end processing factors. Collectively, these mechanistic insights further define how CDK7 kinase activity regulates RNAPII initiation, termination, and RNA processing.

Structural basis of TFIIH activation for nucleotide excision repair

Project description:Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of an NER intermediate containing TFIIH and the NER factor XPA. Compared to its transcription conformation, the TFIIH structure is rearranged such that its ATPase subunits XPB and XPD bind double- and single-stranded DNA, consistent with their translocase and helicase activities, respectively. XPA releases the inhibitory kinase module of TFIIH, displaces a ‘plug’ element from the DNA-binding pore in XPD, and together with the NER factor XPG stimulates XPD activity. Our results explain how TFIIH is switched from a transcription to a repair factor, and provide the basis for a mechanistic analysis of the NER pathway.

Human TFIIH kinase CDK7 regulates transcription-associated epigenetic modification

Project description:CDK7 phosphorylates the RNA polymerase II (pol II) CTD and activates the P-TEFb- associated kinase, CDK9, but its regulatory roles remain obscure. Using human CDK7 analog-sensitive (CDK7as) cells, we observed reduced capping enzyme recruitment, increased pol II promoter-proximal pausing, and defective termination at gene 3'-ends upon CDK7 inhibition. We also found that CDK7 regulates chromatin modifications downstream of transcription start sites. H3K4me3 spreading was restricted at gene 5'-ends and H3K36me3 was displaced toward gene 3'-ends in CDK7as cells. Together, these results implicate a CDK7-dependent "CTD code" that regulates epigenetic marks in addition to RNA processing and pol II pausing.
