Brd4 and JMJD6-associated Anti-pause Enhancers in Regulation of Transcriptional Pause Release

ABSTRACT: Distal enhancers characterized by H3K4me1 mark play critical roles in developmental and transcriptional programs. However, potential roles of specific distal regulatory elements in regulating RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pause release remain poorly investigated. Here we report that a unique cohort of jumonji C domain-containing protein 6 (JMJD6) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (Brd4) co-bound distal enhancers, termed anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs), regulate promoter-proximal pause release of a large subset of transcription units via long-range interactions. Brd4-dependent JMJD6 recruitment on A-PEs mediates erasure of H4R3me2(s), which is directly read by 7SK snRNA, and decapping/demethylation of 7SK snRNA, ensuring the dismissal of the 7SKsnRNA/HEXIM inhibitory complex. The interactions of both JMJD6 and Brd4 with the P-TEFb complex permit its activation and pause release of regulated coding genes. The functions of JMJD6/ Brd4-associated dual histone and RNA demethylase activity on anti-pause enhancers have intriguing implications for these proteins in development, homeostasis and disease.

The functions of JMJD6/ Brd4-associated dual histone and RNA demethylase activity on anti-pause enhancers have intriguing implications for these proteins in development, homeostasis and disease. All Gro-seq(s) were designed to reveal the transcriptional targets of JMJD6 and Brd4, and assess the role of JMJD6 and Brd4 in Pol II promoter-proximal pause release. All ChIP-seq(s) were designed to understand the unique features, associated molecular mechanisms and functions of the anti-pause enhancers (A-PEs) discovered in the current study.

7SK-BAF axis controls pervasive transcription at enhancers [icShape]

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are extensively transcribed, but unfettered transcription alters gene expression and leads to genome damage by several means. Divergent transcription occurs at active enhancers and promoters, distinct classes of cis-regulatory elements critical for precise control of gene expression. A key step in RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is promoter-proximal pausing, which occurs bidirectionally ~25-60 nucleotides downstream of transcription start sites (TSS). Promoter-proximal pause release is gated by the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb)-7SK snRNA pathway; release from 7SK allows P-TEFb phosphorylation of Pol II and subsequent elongation. The 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) is thought to reside in the nucleoplasm, but it has been suggested that 7SK could operate physically on chromatin. Notably, while enhancer transcription is one of the earliest steps of gene activation and some enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) participate in gene regulation, far less is known about the control of eRNA transcription. Here we show that 7SK inhibits enhancer transcription by modulating nucleosome position. 7SK occupies enhancers and super enhancers genome-wide, and 7SK is required to limit eRNA initiation and synthesis in a manner distinct from promoter pausing. Clustered elements at super enhancers uniquely require 7SK to prevent convergent transcription of colliding polymerases that lead to DNA damage. 7SK inhibits enhancer transcription by modulating chromatin structure, physically interacts with the BAF chromatin remodeling complex, and is required to recruit BAF to enhancers. In turn, 7SK occupancy at enhancers coincides with Brd4 and is exquisitely sensitive to the bromodomain inhibitor JQ1. Thus, 7SK employs distinct mechanisms to counteract diverse consequences of pervasive transcription that distinguish super enhancers, enhancers, and promoters.

BRD4 loading at the transcription start site mediates pause-release and underlies the disproportionate transcriptional response to BET bromodomain inhibition [RNA-Seq]

Project description:BET bromodomain inhibition (BETi) abrogates cancer cell growth by disrupting oncogenic gene expression. BRD4 loading at enhancers has been suggested to mediate pause-release and underlie the selective transcriptional response to BETi. Here, we utilized GRO-seq coupled with ChIP-seq to assess the association between gene control elements and the transcriptional response to BETi. Genes immediately down-regulated by BETi display a marked pause-release defect with a minimal impact on transcript elongation within the gene body. Surprisingly, we find that BRD4 at super-enhancers does not render its associated genes or enhancer RNAs preferentially sensitive to BETi. In contrast, disproportionate loading of BRD4 at transcription start sites (TSS) correlates with the transcriptional response to BETi. Moreover, BRD4 loading at TSSs, but not enhancers, is associated with enhanced promoter-proximal pausing following BETi. Our findings stress a mechanistic role of promoter-associated BRD4 in pause-release and suggest that BRD4 loading at the TSS drives the selective transcriptional response to BETi.

Transcriptional Pause Release Is a Rate-Limiting Step for Somatic Cell Reprogramming

Project description:Reactivation of the pluripotency network during somatic cell reprogramming by exogenous transcription factors involves chromatin remodeling and the recruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to target loci. Here, we report that Pol II is engaged at pluripotency promoters in reprogramming but remains paused and inefficiently released. We also show that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) stimulates productive transcriptional elongation of pluripotency genes by dissociating the pause release factor P-TEFb from an inactive complex containing HEXIM1. Consequently, BRD4 overexpression enhances reprogramming efficiency and HEXIM1 suppresses it, whereas Brd4 and Hexim1 knockdown do the opposite. We further demonstrate that the reprogramming factor KLF4 helps recruit P-TEFb to pluripotency promoters. Our work thus provides a mechanism for explaining the reactivation of pluripotency genes in reprogramming and unveils an unanticipated role for KLF4 in transcriptional pause release.

AFF4 globally affects the release of paused RNA polymerase II in HEL cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:P-TEFb, a heterodimer of kinase, CDK9, and Cyclin T1, is a critical regulator of promoter-proximal pause release of Pol II in metazoans. It is capable of forming three larger multiprotein complexes, including the super elongation complex (SEC), the BRD4/P-TEFb complex and the 7SK snRNP. In the SEC or the BRD4/P-TEFb, P-TEFb is enzymatically active, while in the 7SK snRNP, its activity is inhibited. The SEC consists of AFF1 or 4, ENL or AF9, ELL1, 2 or 3 and EAF1 or 2 in addition to P-TEFb, the only subunit with catalytic activity, and the noncatalytic subunits have been found to be able to regulate pause release through P-TEFb. One recent study showed that in human DLD-1 cells, the SEC only regulates pause release of heat shock (HS) genes, whereas the BRD4/P-TEFb complex regulates pause release of the rest of the genes. In this study, we found that AFF4 knockdown in human HEL cells decreased not only cellular level but also global chromatin occupancy of CTD serine 2 phosphorylated Pol II, and notably, increased promoter-proximal pause of Pol II on several hundred HS and thousands of non-HS genes. Mechanistically, AFF4 facilitates pause release likely by facilitating the binding of P-TEFb to Pol II. These results suggest that the extent of impact of AFF4 on pause release is likely to be context-dependent or cell-type dependent.
