Transcriptional Pause Release Is a Rate-Limiting Step for Somatic Cell Reprogramming (RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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. 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.
