Ubiquitylation of Pol II controls early stages of the transcription cycle [TT-seq]

ABSTRACT: Control of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) through ubiquitylation is essential for the DNA-damage response. Here we reveal a distinct ubiquitylation pathway in human cells that targets excessive and defective Pol II molecules at the initial stages of the transcription cycle. This pathway, mediated by ARMC5CUL3 ubiquitin ligase, drives homeostatic Pol II turnover, and is further enhanced when early stages of transcription - initiation and pausing - are perturbed. Upon ARMC5 loss, Pol II accumulates in the free pool and in the promoter-proximal zone, but is not permitted into elongation. We identify Integrator subunit 8 (INTS8) as a gatekeeper preventing the release of excess Pol II molecules into gene bodies. Combined loss of ARMC5 and INTS8 has strong detrimental effects on cell growth, with ARMC5 loss exacerbating transcriptional defects seen in INTS8-depleted cells. These findings uncover that ARMC5CUL3 and INTS8 form a collaborative checkpoint, monitoring the quantity and quality of transcription complexes before they are licensed into elongation.

ARMC5-mediated degradation of RNA polymerase II as a last resort in the promoter-proximal pausing checkpoint [TTchem-Seq]

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) promoter-proximal pausing is an early step in the transcription cycle, which occurs alongside important events such as mRNA capping. Here, we identify a ubiquitin ligase complex, CUL3-ARMC5 (CRL3ARMC5) which is required for targeting promotor-proximally paused RNAPII for degradation. While a basal level of ARMC5-dependent RNAPII ubiquitylation/degradation occurs even in unperturbed cells, depletion of proteins regulating promoter-proximal pausing results in markedly increased ubiquitylation. We suggest that such RNAPII ubiquitylation/degradation serves as a “last resort” pathway for removing inept polymerases at a promoter-proximal pause checkpoint to avoid their release for unproductive transcript elongation. In agreement with this idea, ARMC5 knockout cells display increased levels of nascent transcription but with pre-mRNAs exhibiting capping defects. Together, our findings support a model in which promoter-proximal pausing functions as a transcription cycle checkpoint and indicate broad role for the CRL3ARMC5 ligase in RNAPII poly-ubiquitylation and degradation.

ARMC5 controls the degradation of most Pol II subunits, and ARMC5 mutation increases neural tube defect risks in mice and humans

Project description:ARMC5 is an armadillo domain (ARM)-containing protein. We found that Armc5 KO mice had an increased incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs). ARMC5 is the substrate recognition component of a ubiquitin ligase that targets POLR2A, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Surprisingly, the absence of ARMC5 caused the accumulation of not only POLR2A, but most of the other 11 Pol II subunits associated with POLR2A, indicating that the degradation of the whole Pol II complex is compromised. This did not lead to generalized Pol II stalling or a generalized decrease in mRNA transcription. In neural progenitor cells, ARMC5 KO only dysregulated 106 genes, some of which are known to be involved in neural tube development. FOLH1, critical for folate metabolism and vital in neural tube development, was downregulated in the KO intestine, suggesting that it is a downstream effector gene for NTD. To assess whether ARMC5 gene mutation was associated with human NTD, we conducted whole-exome sequencing of 511 patients with myelomeningocele, a severe form of NTD. Nine deleterious single nucleotide variants were discovered in the ARMC5 coding sequence. Four of them were validated in that they weakened the interaction between ARMC5 and POLR2A; consequently, POLR2A ubiquitination was decreased. This proves that our findings in mice are relevant to human NTD; it also supports the role of Pol II in mediating NTD pathogenesis. Our findings indicate that mutations in ARMC5 increase the risk of NTD and support the role of Pol II in NTD pathogenesis. Further investigation is needed to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between an enlarged Pol II pool and NTD and to validate the potential role of downregulated FOLH1 expression in NTD pathogenesis.

The PAF1 Complex Regulates Transcriptional Termination and Reinitiation [TT-seq]

Project description:Chromatin places fundamental physical constraints on transcription (Gamarra and Narlikar, 2021). The PAF1 complex (PAF1C), a hexamer of PAF1, LEO1, CTR9, SKI8, CDC73 and RTF1, plays a critical role in transcription with incompletely understood mechanisms. During transcriptional elongation, PAF1C is one of the positive elongation factors in complex with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to facilitate elongation through chromatin (Vos et al., 2018), but it is unclear yet if negative elongation factors are needed concurrently to restrain elongation. Here we show that besides decreasing elongation rate, LEO1 knockout in human K562 cells increases transcriptional readthrough and cellular level of C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylated Pol II while increases and decreases transcriptional output of several hundred genes, respectively. Mechanistic analyses taking proteomic, functional genomic and biochemical approaches discovered that PAF1C regulates transcriptional termination in part through recruiting PNUTS-PP1γ complex and facilitates Pol II transcriptional re-initiation through recruiting TOX4-PP1α complex. Moreover, Paf1 conditional knockout in mice severely blocks T cell development, increases cellular level of CTD phosphorylated Pol II, mainly decreases Pol II occupancy and transcriptional output in double positive T cells, and importantly, the regulation of re-initiation by PAF1C through TOX4-PP1α complex is conserved between mouse and human. Our results also suggest that PNUTS-PP1γ and TOX4-PP1α bind PAF1C to restrain Pol II elongation through chromatin. These findings not only establish PAF1C as a critical regulator of transcriptional termination and re-initiation besides elongation but also advanced current understanding of elongation.

FACT orchestrates the interplay between chromatin structure and transcription [TT-Seq]

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) depends on transcription factors and chromatin factors. Here we use rapid factor depletion and multiomics analysis to investigate how a histone chaperone, FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), influence nascent transcription by RNA PolII in human cells. Depletion of a FACT subunit, SSRP1, led to rapid changes in chromatin structure and concomitantly strongly compromised RNA synthesis. FACT depletion led to a multilayered transcriptional defect, including loss of promoter proximal pausing, deregulated release into elongation and drop-off of RNA Pol II in promoter-distant gene regions. We combined these analyses with biochemical dissection of transcription of a chromatinized template to show that FACT supports both elongation and pausing of RNA Pol II. Our study also provides new evidence how the position of promoter proximal pausing is defined by the +1 nucleosome in human cells.
