Integrated genome-wide analysis of transcription factor occupancy, RNA polymerase II binding and steady-state RNA levels identify differentially regulated functional gene classes

ABSTRACT: Routine methods for assaying steady-state mRNA levels such as RNA-seq and micro-arrays are commonly used as readouts to study the role of transcription factors (TFs) in gene expression regulation. However, cellular RNA levels do not solely depend on activity of TFs and subsequent transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), but are also affected by RNA turnover rate. Here, we demonstrate that integrated analysis of genome-wide TF occupancy, Pol II binding and steady-state RNA levels provide important insights in gene regulatory mechanisms. Pol II occupancy, as detected by Pol II ChIP-seq, was found to correlate better with TF occupancy compared to steady-state RNA levels and is thus a more precise readout for the primary transcriptional mechanisms that are triggered by signal transduction. Furthermore, analysis of differential Pol II occupancy and RNA-seq levels identified genes with high Pol II occupancy and relatively low RNA levels and vice versa. These categories are strongly enriched for genes from different functional classes. Our results demonstrate a complementary value in Pol II chip-seq and RNA-seq approaches for better understanding of gene expression regulation.

Genome-wide control of RNA polymerase II activity by cohesin (tiling)

Project description:Cohesin is a well-known mediator of sister chromatid cohesion, but it also influences gene expression and development. These non-canonical roles of cohesin are not well understood, but are vital: gene expression and development are altered by modest changes in cohesin function that do not disrupt chromatid cohesion. To clarify cohesinM-bM-^@M-^Ys roles in transcription, we measured how cohesin controls RNA polymerase II (Pol II) activity by genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and precision global run-on sequencing. On average, cohesin-binding genes have more transcriptionally active Pol II and promoter-proximal Pol II pausing than non-binding genes, and are more efficient, producing higher steady state levels of mRNA per transcribing Pol II complex. Cohesin depletion frequently increases pausing at cohesin-binding genes, indicating that cohesin often facilitates transition of paused Pol II to elongation. In many cases this likely reflects a role for cohesin in transcriptional enhancer function. Strikingly, more than 95% of predicted extragenic enhancers bind cohesin, and cohesin depletion can reduce their association with Pol II, indicating that cohesin facilitates enhancer-promoter contact. Cohesin directly promotes transcription of the myc gene, and cohesin depletion reduces Pol II activity at most Myc target genes. The multiple transcriptional roles of cohesin revealed by these studies likely underlie the growth and developmental deficits caused by minor changes in cohesin activity. We performed ChIP-chip of Rpb3 (representing total Pol II), Ser2P-Pol II (representing elongating Pol II), and Cdk12 and CycT Pol II kinase components in Mock RNAi-treated and cohesin subunit Rad21 RNAi-treated ML-DmBG3-c2 cells, which revealed that cohesin depletion has a variety of effects on Pol II occupancy and modification, as well as on occupancy of Pol II kinases.

Activation of GPCR ligand binding genes revealed through degradation of RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA polymerase II drives mRNA gene expression, yet our understanding of global Pol II repression is limited. Using auxin-inducible degron, we degraded Pol II's RPB1 subunit in mESCs, resulting in global repression, yet certain genes exhibited increased RNA levels post-degradation. These genes are associated with GPCR ligand binding and are characterized by being less paused and comprising polycomb-bound short genes. RPB1 degradation globally increased KDM6B binding, which was insufficient to explain specific gene activation. In contrast, RPB2 degradation repressed nearly all genes, accompanied by decreased H3K9me3 and SUV39H1 occupancy. We observed a specific increase in serine 2 phosphorylated Pol II at Pol II degradation-upregulated genes, indicating their resistance to degradation. Additionally, a-amanitin or UV treatment resulted in RPB1 degradation and global gene repression, unveiling subsets of upregulated genes. Our findings highlight the activation of signaling genes as a potential mechanism for cells to counter global transcription shutdown during stress.

Zelda overcomes the high intrinsic nucleosome barrier at enhancers during Drosophila zygotic genome activation

Project description:A central question in biology is how enhancers are made accessible. The Drosophila embryo is a good model system to study this question as the gene regulatory networks regulating early developmental events have been well characterized. Zelda (Zld) is a uniformly distributed transcription factor (TF) integral to these networks, acting prior to and in collaboration with the patterning TFs to regulate target enhancers. Here we test the hypothesis that Zld directs TF binding, examplified by Dorsal (Dl) which patterns the dorsoventral axis, across the genome by displacing nucleosomes at enhancers. By performing ChIP-seq and MNase-seq experiments on early embryos with or without Zld, we demonstrated that early enhancers are characterized by an intrinsically high nucleosome barrier, which is overcome by Zld, and that without Zld, Dl binding decreases at enhancers and redistributes to open regions devoid of enhancer activity. We propose that enhancers are initially specified across the genome by the binding of Zld, which locally decreases nucleosome occupancy, thereby assisting TFs in accessing their binding motifs and promoting transcriptional activity.

Establishment of a novel in vitro transcription assay

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcriptional recycling is an underappreciated mechanism for which the required factors and contributions to overall gene expression levels are poorly understood. We describe an in vitro methodology facilitating unbiased identification of putative RNA Pol II transcriptional recycling factors and quantitative measurement of transcriptional output from recycled transcriptional components. By combing our in vitro transcription assays with other experiments (e.g. in vivo dynamic ChIP-seq assays), we identified PAF1 complex components as drivers for transcription recycling, revealing a new layer in controlling Pol II-dependent transcription. Our findings also point to RNA Pol II transcription recycling as a mechanism that functions aberrantly in disease states such as cancer, and indicate the potential to target factors such as PAF1 that drive RNA Pol II recycling in cancer.

Ccr4-Not complex reduces transcription efficiency in heterochromatin

Project description:Heterochromatic silencing is thought to occur through a combination of transcriptional silencing and RNA degradation, but the relative contribution of each pathway is not known. In this study we analyzed RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) occupancy and levels of nascent and steady-state RNA in different strains of fission yeast, in order to quantify the contribution of each pathway to heterochromatic silencing. We found that transcriptional silencing consists of two components, reduced RNA Pol II accessibility and, unexpectedly, reduced transcriptional efficiency. Heterochromatic loci showed lower transcriptional output compared to euchromatic loci, despite the presence of comparable amounts of RNA Pol II in both types of regions. We determined that the Ccr4-Not complex and H3K9 methylation are required for reduced transcriptional efficiency in heterochromatin and that a subset of heterochromatic RNA is degraded more rapidly than euchromatic RNA. Finally, we quantified the contribution of different chromatin modifiers, RNAi and RNA degradation to each silencing pathway. Our data show that several pathways contribute to heterochromatic silencing in a locus-specific manner and reveal transcriptional efficiency as a new mechanism of silencing.

Transcription factor trapping by RNA in gene regulatory elements (GRO-Seq)

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific sequences in promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements in order to regulate gene transcription. RNA is transcribed from both promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements, and some DNA-binding TFs have also been shown to bind RNA. These obsevations led us to postulate that RNA transcribed from regulatory elements contributes to stable TF occupancy at these regulatory elements. We show here that the ubiquitously expressed TF YY1 binds to both proximal and distal regulatory elements and to the RNA species associated with these elements near active genes in embryonic stem cells. Inhibition of transcription from these elements reduces YY1 occupancy. In contrast, tethering of RNA species near YY1 DNA binding sites enhances YY1 occupancy. We propose that RNA acts as trap to maintain certain TFs at active enhancer and promoter-proximal regulatory elements. Thus, transcriptional control generally involves a positive feedback loop, where YY1 and other TFs stimulate local transcription, and newly transcribed nascent RNA reinforces local TF occupancy. This model helps explain why TFs occupy only the small fraction of their consensus motifs in the mammalian genome where transcription is detected.
