Global coupling of R-loops with transcription dynamics modulates early development and survival of Drosophila

ABSTRACT: R-loops are involved in many biological processes in cells, yet the regulatory principles for R-loops in vivo and their impact on development remain to be explored. Here, we modified the CUT&Tag strategy to profile R-loops in Drosophila at multiple developmental stages. While high GC content promotes R-loop formation in mammalian cells, it is not required in Drosophila. In contrast, RNAPII abundance on chromatin appears to be a universal inducing factor for R-loop formation in the Drosophila genome, including active promoters and enhancers, and H3K27me3 decorated repressive regions and intergenic repeat sequences. Importantly, such a regulatory relationship is dynamically maintained throughout development and many development-related transcription factors that may regulate RNAPII activation and R-loop dynamics were uncovered. By ablating the elongation factor Spt6, we further showed the global R-loop induction coupled with RNAPII pausing, genome instability, and defects in larvae survival and cuticle development. Overexpression of rnh1 largely reversed the upregulation or downregulation of gene expression depending on gene length, DNA damage, and defects in survival and cuticle development. Altogether, our findings indicate that dynamic R-loop regulation is dictated by RNAP pausing and transcription activity, and plays a feedback role in gene regulation, genome stability maintenance, and Drosophila development.

Dynamic coupling of R-loops with transcriptional pausing modulates tissue development in Drosophila

Project description:The R-loop in the genome participates in modulating transcription, replication and DNA damage repair, yet its regulation and biologic impact on development in vivo remain to be explored. Here, we modified CUT&Tag strategy and established R-loop profiles of Drosophila across multiple developmental stages. While lack of GC preference, the broad class of R-loops in Drosophila all highly follow the RNAPII pausing, which is also a conserved R-loop regulatory mechanism in mammals. Meanwhile, RNAPII-regulated R-loop may be regulated by multiple developmental specificity and universality transcription factors. To test the specificity and universality of transcription factor-mediated R-loop involvement in development, we knocked out the transcription elongation factor Spt6, upregulated R-loop and increased RNAPII pausing, and altered the expression of critical genes and cutin genes, thereby affecting Drosophila lifespan and cutin development. Interestingly, complementation of rnh1 could partially rescue the transcription factor deletion phenotype. We conclude that RNAPII is a conserved mechanism of R-loop regulation across species and organism specific damage caused by R-loop dysregulation is mediated by the functions of transcription factors.

BRCA1 Balances the Action of a Transcription Elongation Factor In Mammary Gland Development and Tumorigenesis (sequencing)

Project description:Work from our mouse models showed that COBRA1, the B subunit of NELF, could facilitate R-loop (DNA:RNA hybrid) accumulation in the BRCA1-deficient mouse mammary epithelium. Since NELF could promoter RNA PolII pausing at promoter proximal regions, we asked whether COBRA1-mediated RNA Pol II pausing could contribute to accumulated R-loops. To answer this question, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) for RNA Pol II, as well as two NELF subunits, NELF-A and NELF-B (COBRA1) in mouse primary mammary epithelium cells. To locate R-loops in the same cell population, we performed DNA:RNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing (DRIP-seq) with or without treatment of RNase H, a nuclease that specifically degrades RNA in the R-loop structure. Our sequencing results showed that RNA Pol II, NELF and R-loops are all enriched at transcription start sites (TSSs). Notably, genes with TSS R-loop accumulation are significantly enriched for COBRA1 binding. Taken together, the genomic data lent additional support to the notion that COBRA1-mediated RNAPII pausing contributes to R-loop dynamics in mammary epithelium.

Genome-wide maps of R-loops in Drosophila embryogenesis and cultured cells

Project description:We report the genome localization of R-loops in early and late-stage embryos relative to Drosophila cultured cells. We demonstrate that proper absolute R-loop levels chage during embryogenesis and that resolution of R-loops is critical for embryonic development. R-loop mapping by strand-specific DRIP-seq revealed that R-loop localization is plastic across development, both in the genes which form R-loops and where they localize relative to gene bodies. Importantly, these changes are not driven by changes in the transcriptional program. Rather, negative GC skew and absolute changes in AT skew are associated with R-loop formation in Drosophila. Furthermore, we demonstrate that while some chromatin binding proteins and histone modification such as H3K27me3 are associated with R-loops throughout development, other chromatin factors associated with R-loops in a developmental specific manner.

The cohesin acetylation cycle controls chromatin loop length through a PDS5A brake mechanism

Project description:Cohesin structures the genome through the formation of chromatin loops and by holding together the sister chromatids. The acetylation of cohesin’s SMC3 subunit is a dynamic process that involves the acetyltransferase ESCO1 and deacetylase HDAC8. Here we show that this cohesin acetylation cycle controls the 3D genome. ESCO1 restricts the length of chromatin loops and architectural stripes, while HDAC8 promotes the extension of such loops and stripes. This role in controlling loop length turns out to be distinct from the canonical role of cohesin acetylation that protects against WAPL-mediated DNA release. We reveal that acetylation rather controls cohesin’s interaction with PDS5A to restrict chromatin loop length. Our data supports a model in which this PDS5A-bound state acts as a brake that enables the pausing and restart of loop enlargement. The cohesin acetylation cycle hereby provides punctuation in the process of genome folding.

Elongation Factor TFIIS Prevents Transcription Stress and R-Loop Accumulation to Maintain Genome Stability [ RNA-seq]

Project description:Connections between RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription stress, R-loops, and genome instability have been established however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we used a mutant version of elongation factor TFIIS (TFIISmut) to specifically induce increased levels of RNAPII pausing, arrest, and/or backtracking in human cells. TFIISmut expression results in slower elongation rates, relative depletion of polymerases from the end of genes, and increased levels of stopped RNAPII. It affects mRNA splicing and termination as well. Remarkably, however, TFIISmut expression also dramatically increases R-loops, which may form at the anterior end of backtracked RNAPII and trigger genome instability, including DNA strand breaks. These results shed new light on the relationship between transcription stress and R-loops, and suggest that different classes of R-loops exist, potentially with distinct consequences for genome instability.

CUT&TAG analysis of R-loops in Mcm8 knockout MEFs and CUT&TAG analysis of R-loops and MCM8-binding sites in HEK293 cells

Project description:To reveal the role of MCM8 in suppressing R-loop accumulation, we performed the CUT&TAG assay using the S9.6 antibody to map genome-wide R-loops in Mcm8 wildtype MEFs and Mcm8 knockout MEFs. We also conducted the CUT&TAG assay to detect genome-wide R-loops in Ddx5 downregulated MEFs by adenovirus infection and in control MEFs. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of MCM8 suppressing R-loops, we conducted the DNA sequencing of libraries from CUT&TAG assay using the antibody against FLAG in HEK293 cells transfected with FLAG-MCM8 plasmid and using the S9.6 antibody in HEK293 cells. Besides, an IgG control and control of RNH1 overexpression were included.

Neurological Cockayne Syndrome Results from R-Loops Induced by Stalled RNA Polymerase II during Transcription Elongation

Project description:Mutations in the Cockayne Syndrome group B (CSB) gene cause severe neurodevelopmental defects and premature aging. As a member of the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodelers, CSB is best known for its role in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision (TC-NER), but this function neither explains the major disease phenotype nor offers any clue about the selective vulnerability in neurons. Pursuing Cockayne Syndrome-associated genome instability, we uncover an intrinsic mechanism by which elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) undergoes transient pausing at internal T-runs where CSB is required to push RNAPII forward. Consequently, CSB deficiency retards RNAPII elongation in these regions, and when coupled upstream G-rich sequences, such functional defects are further amplified to induce genome instability via augmented R-loop formation. As such R-loop prone motifs are proportionally represented in long genes that predominately function in neurons, this mechanism provides critical insights into selective neuronal vulnerability. Moreover, because of divergent intronic sequences between mice and humans, this mechanism also explains why mice deficient for CSB do not develop severe neurological abnormalities as seen in humans, suggesting that the manifestation of Cockayne Syndrome phenotype results from progressive genome evolution in mammals.
