Project description:We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on whole blood cells from a patient with biallelic BRF2 variants (c.782C>T and c.379C>T), exhibiting defective RNA polymerase III activity. The patient presented with recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinemia, and was later diagnosed with low-grade B cell lymphoma. Our scRNA-seq analysis revealed alterations in gene expression related to BRF2-dependent Pol III transcription, particularly affecting redox genes, including GPX1 and GPX4.

Project description:RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcribes many noncoding RNAs (for example, transfer RNAs) important for translational capacity and other functions. We localized Pol III, alternative TFIIIB complexes (BRF1 or BRF2) and TFIIIC in HeLa cells to determine the Pol III transcriptome, define gene classes and reveal 'TFIIIC-only' sites. Pol III localization in other transformed and primary cell lines reveals previously uncharacterized and cell type–specific Pol III loci as well as one microRNA. Notably, only a fraction of the in silico–predicted Pol III loci are occupied. Many occupied Pol III genes reside within an annotated Pol II promoter. Outside of Pol II promoters, occupied Pol III genes overlap with enhancer-like chromatin and enhancer-binding proteins such as ETS1 and STAT1. Moreover, Pol III occupancy scales with the levels of nearby Pol II, active chromatin and CpG content. These results suggest that active chromatin gates Pol III accessibility to the genome.

Use of ChIP-seq to identify genomic regions bound by RNA Polymerase III machinery in multiple cell types as well as RNA-seq in HeLa for gene expression analysis.

Project description:General transcription factors (GTFs) are required for RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to initiate transcription at promoters. In this study, we determined the effects of acute depletion of TBP, TAF1, TAF4, TFIIB, and XPB in HAP1 cells. We performed precision nuclear run-on sequencing (PRO-Seq) and quantified nascent transcripts arising from more than 70,000 promoters. The average dependencies for each factor across all promoters varied widely even though levels of depletions were similar. Many of the effects could be attributed to the presence or absence of core promoter elements. Depletion of TBP had a large effect on only a small fraction of Pol II and Pol III promoters. TFIIB depletion also led to readthrough transcription downstream of the 3′ ends of genes. We conclude that promoter activity is influenced by recruitment of TFIID, sequence-specific transcription factors, and interaction of the preinitiation complex (PIC) with the +1 nucleosome.

Project description:Alu SINEs are the most numerous frequently occurring transcription units in our genomes and possess sequence competence for transcription by RNA Pol III. However, through poorly understood mechanisms, the Alu RNA levels are maintained at very low levels in normal somatic cells with obvious benefits of low rates of Alu retrotransposition and energy-economical deployment of RNA Pol III to the tRNA genes which share promoter structure and polymerase requirements with Alu SINEs. Using comparative ChIP sequencing, we unveil that a repeat binding protein, CGGBP1, binds to the transcriptional regulatory regions of Alu SINEs thereby impeding Alu transcription by inhibiting RNA Pol III recruitment. We show that this Alu-silencing depends on growth factor stimulation of cells and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of CGGBP1. Importantly, CGGBP1 ensures a sequence-specific discriminative inhibition of RNA Pol III activity at Alu promoters, while sparing the structurally similar tRNA promoters. Our data suggest that CGGBP1 contributes to growth-related transcription by preventing the hijacking of RNA Pol III by Alu SINEs. Examination of one DNA binding protein in two different conditions of treatment.

Project description:The genomic loci occupied by RNA polymerase (pol) III have been characterized in human culture cells by genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq). These studies have in particular shown that only about 40 % of the annotated 622 human tRNA genes and pseudogenes are occupied by pol III, and that these genes are often in regions of open chromatin rich in active pol II transcription units. Here we have used ChIP-Seq to characterize pol III-occupied loci in a differentiated tissue, the mouse liver. Our studies define the mouse liver pol III-occupied loci and point to a conserved pol III-occupied mammalian interspersed repeat (MIR) as a potential regulator of a pol III subunit-encoding gene. They reveal that synteny relationships can be established between a number of human and mouse pol III genes, and that the expression levels of these genes are significantly linked. They establish that variations within the A and B promoter boxes, as well as the strength of the terminator sequence can strongly affect pol III occupancy of tRNA genes. They reveal correlations with various genomic features that together describe the pol III occupancy scores over some 50% of tRNA genes. In mouse liver, pol III-occupied loci represented in the NCBI37/mm9 genome assembly comprise fifty 5S genes, fourteen known non-tRNA genes, nine 4.5S genes, and some twenty nine SINEs. In addition, out of the 433 annotated tRNA genes, half are occupied by pol III. Transfer RNA gene expression levels reflect both an underlying genomic organization that is conserved in dividing human culture cells and resting mouse liver cells, and the particular promoter and terminator strengths of individual genes. 12 samples examinded, 4 on pol III, 2 on pol II, 2 on H3K4me3, 2 on H3k36me3, 2 input samples.
