Gene knockdown suggests a new paradigm for transcription factor TFIIB functionality

ABSTRACT: Experimental and bioinformatic studies of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) have revealed a mechanism of RNAP2 transcription initiation less uniform across gene promoters than initially thought. However, the general transcription factor TFIIB is presumed to be universally required for RNAP2 transcription initiation. Based on bioinformatic analysis of data, TFIIB knockdown in primary and transformed cell lines, and in vitro transcription experiments, we report that TFIIB is dispensable for transcription of most human promoters, but is essential for HSV-1 gene transcription and replication. We report a novel cell cycle TFIIB regulation and involvement of the acetylated TFIIB variant in chromosomal condensation. Taken together, these results establish a new paradigm for TFIIB functionality as a determinant of the human transcriptome, which when downregulated has potent anti-viral effects.

Protein interaction network revealed by quantitative proteomic analysis elucidates TFIIB role in multiple aspects of the transcription cycle

Project description:Although TFIIB is widely regarded as an initiation factor, recent reports have implicated it in multiple aspects of eukaryotic transcription. To investigate the broader role of TFIIB in transcription, we performed quantitative proteomic analysis of yeast TFIIB. We purified two different populations of TFIIB; one form soluble cell lysate, which is not engaged in transcription, and the other from chromatin fraction which yields the transcriptionally active form of the protein. TFIIB purified from the chromatin exhibits several interactions that explain its non-canonical roles in transcription. RNAPII, TFIIF and TFIIH were the only components of preinitiation complex with a significant presence in chromatin TFIIB. A notable feature was the substantial enrichment of all 3’ end processing-termination factors; CF1, CPF and Rat1 in chromatin-TFIIB preparation. These results corroborate the role of TFIIB in termination of transcription. Presence of the Lsm complex as well as TREX complex subunit Sub2 in chromatin-TFIIB opens the possibility of novel roles of TFIIB in synthesis-decay coupling and nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA. This multiplicity of functions may contribute to the preferential targeting of TFIIB during viral pathogenesis

A new paradigm for transcription factor TFIIB functionality.

Project description:Experimental and bioinformatic studies of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) have revealed a mechanism of RNAP2 transcription initiation less uniform across gene promoters than initially thought. However, the general transcription factor TFIIB is presumed to be universally required for RNAP2 transcription initiation. Based on bioinformatic analysis of data and effects of TFIIB knockdown in primary and transformed cell lines on cellular functionality and global gene expression, we report that TFIIB is dispensable for transcription of many human promoters, but is essential for herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) gene transcription and replication. We report a novel cell cycle TFIIB regulation and localization of the acetylated TFIIB variant on the transcriptionally silent mitotic chromatids. Taken together, these results establish a new paradigm for TFIIB functionality in human gene expression, which when downregulated has potent anti-viral effects.

Comparative ChIP-chip analysis of general transcription factor TFIIB and negative cofactor NC2 in human B cells

Project description:A comparative ChIP-chip analysis of TFIIB and NC2 in human B cells reveals that basal core promoter architectures control the equilibrium between NC2 and preinitiation complexes. We conducted a comparative ChIP-chip and gene expression analysis of TFIIB in human B cells and analyze associated core promoter architectures. TFIIB occupancy relates well to gene expression, with the vast majority of promoters being GC-rich and lacking defined core promoter elements. TATA consensus and TATA-like motifs but not the previously in vitro defined TFIIB recognition elements (BREs) are enriched in approximately 5% of the genes. Further insight was obtained by performing a parallel ChIP-chip analysis of the TFIIB antagonist NC2. The latter identifies a highly related target gene set. Nonetheless, subpopulations show strong variations in TFIIB/NC2 ratios, with high NC2/TFIIB ratios correlating to promoters that show dispersed transcription start site patterns and lacking defined core elements. Conversely, high TFIIB/NC2 ratios select for conserved core promoter elements that include TATA and INR (initiator), the upstream TFIIB recognition element (BREu) and the downstream promoter element (DPE). Two biological samples from LCL 721 lymphoblastoid human B cells were subjected to ChIP-chip analysis of TFIIB and NC2 using a Nimblegen human promoter array (based on the HG17 genome build) covering 1.5 kb DNA around transcription start sites.

Differential dependencies of human RNA polymerase II promoters on TBP, TAF1, TFIIB, and XPB.

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.

Structural basis of SNAPc-dependent snRNA transcription intiation by RNA polymerase II

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) carries out transcription of both protein-coding and non-coding genes. Whereas Pol II initiation at protein-coding genes has been studied in detail, Pol II initiation at non-coding genes such as small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes is not understood at the structural level. Here we study Pol II initiation at snRNA gene promoters and show that the snRNA-activating protein complex (SNAPc) enables DNA opening and transcription initiation independent of TFIIE and TFIIH in vitro. We then resolve cryo-EM structures of the SNAPc-containing Pol II preinitiation complex (PIC) assembled on U1 and U5 snRNA promoters. The core of SNAPc binds two turns of DNA and recognizes the snRNA promoter-specific proximal sequence element (PSE) located upstream of the TATA box-binding protein TBP. Two extensions of SNAPc called wing-1 and wing-2 bind TFIIA and TFIIB, respectively, explaining how SNAPc directs Pol II to snRNA promoters. Comparison of structures of closed and open promoter complexes elucidates TFIIH-independent DNA opening. These results provide the structural basis of Pol II initiation at non-coding RNA gene promoters.
