Genome-wide distribution of yeast RNA polymerase II and its control by Sen1 helicase

ABSTRACT: Functional engagement of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) with eukaryotic chromosomes is a fundamental and highly regulated biological process. Here we present the first high-resolution map of Pol II occupancy across the entire yeast genome. We compared a wild-type strain with a strain bearing a substitution in the Sen1 helicase, which is a Pol II termination factor for non-coding RNA genes. The wildtype pattern of Pol II distribution provides unexpected insights into the mechanisms by which genes are repressed or silenced. Remarkably, a single amino acid substitution that compromises Sen1 function causes profound changes in Pol II distribution over both non-coding and protein-coding genes, establishing an important function of Sen1 in the regulation of transcription. Given the strong similarity of the yeast and human Sen1 proteins, our results suggest that progressive neurological disorders caused by substitutions in the human Sen1 homolog, Senataxin, may be due to misregulation of transcription.

High-resolution transcriptome-wide maps of Sen1 RNA-binding by CRAC

Project description:Pervasive transcription is a widespread phenomenon leading to the production of a plethora of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) without apparent function. Pervasive transcription poses a risk that needs to be controlled to prevent the perturbation of gene expression. In yeast, the highly conserved helicase Sen1 restricts pervasive transcription by inducing termination of non-coding transcription. However, the mechanisms underlying the specific function of Sen1 at ncRNAs are poorly understood. Here we identify a motif in an intrinsically disordered region of Sen1 that mimics the phosphorylated carboxy terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II and characterize structurally its recognition by the CTD-interacting domain of Nrd1, an RNA-binding protein that binds specific sequences in ncRNAs. In addition, we show that Sen1-dependent termination strictly requires the recognition of the Ser5-phosphorylated form of the CTD by the N-terminal domain of Sen1. Furthermore, we find that the N-terminal and the C-terminal domains of Sen1 can mediate intra-molecular interactions. Our results shed light onto the network of protein-protein interactions that control termination of non-coding transcription by Sen1.

High-resolution mapping of transcribing RNAPII by CRAC in a wt or a sen1T1623E mutant

Project description:Manuscript title: Modulated termination of non-coding transcription partakes in the regulation of gene expression Here we report high-resolution analyses of transcribing RNAPII in either a wild-type (WT) background or a sen1T1623E mutant, which harbours a substitution that mimics the phosphorylation at threonine 1623. Sen1 is a well-characterized transcription termination factor for RNAPII-dependent non-coding genes in budding yeast. Here we show that the T1623E phosphomimetic mutation induces moderate but widespread termination defects at target non-coding genes, strongly suggesting that phosphoryation at T1623 modulates negatively Sen1 transcription termination activity.

The Sen1 Helicase Prevents Spurious Transcription by Controlling Genome-Wide Transcription Termination by RNAPII

Project description:RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) termination for transcripts containing a polyadenylation signal (PAS) is thought to differ mechanistically from termination for PAS-independent RNAPII transcripts such as sn(o)RNAs. In a screen for factors required for PAS-dependent termination, we identified Sen1, a putative helicase known primarily for its role in PAS-independent termination. We show that Sen1 is required for termination on hundreds of protein-coding genes and suppresses cryptic transcription from nucleosome-free regions on a genomic scale. These effects often overlap with but are also often distinct from those caused by Nrd1 depletion, which also impacts termination of protein-coding and cryptic transcripts, including many genic antisense transcripts. Sen1 controls termination through its helicase activity and stimulates recruitment of factors previously implicated in both PAS-dependent (Rna14, Rat1) and PAS-independent (Nrd1) termination. Thus, RNAPII termination for both protein-coding genes and cryptic transcripts is dependent on multiple pathways. The 2 RNAPII datasets were produced in duplicates and the Sen1 and Nrd1 datasets in triplicates (all IP/Input).

Yeast RNA-binding protein Nab3 regulations genes involved in nitrogen metabolism

Project description:Termination of yeast RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcripts occurs through two alternative pathways. Termination of mRNAs is coupled to cleavage and polyadenylation while non-coding transcripts are terminated through the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 (NNS) pathway in a process that is linked to RNA degradation by the nuclear exosome. Some mRNA transcripts are also attenuated through premature termination directed by the NNS complex. In this paper we present the results of nuclear depletion of the NNS component Nab3. As expected many non-coding RNAs fail to terminate properly. In addition, we observe that nitrogen catabolite repressed genes are up-regulated by Nab3 depletion.

Pol II chromatin immunoprecipitation in S. cerevisiae

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae short non-coding RNA (ncRNA) generated by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) are terminated by the NRD complex consisting of Nrd1, Nab3 and Sen1. We now show that Pcf11, a component of the cleavage and polyadenylation complex (CPAC), is generally required for NRD-dependent transcription termination through the action of its CTD interacting domain (CID). Pcf11 localizes downstream of Nrd1 on NRD terminators, and its recruitment depends on Nrd1. Furthermore mutation of the Pcf11 CID results in Nrd1 retention on chromatin, delayed degradation of ncRNA and restricts Pol II CTD Ser2 phosphorylation and Sen1-Pol II interaction. Finally, the pcf11-13 and sen1-1 mutant phenotypes are very similar as both accumulate RNA:DNA hybrids and display Pol II pausing downstream of NRD terminators. We predict a mechanism whereby Nrd1 and Pcf11 exchange on chromatin facilitates Pol II pausing and CTD Ser2-P phosphorylation. This in turn promotes Sen1 activity that is required for NRD-dependent transcription termination in vivo. ChIP-seq with antibody against pol II in wild type and Pcf11 mutants: Pcf11-2, Pcf11-9 and Pcf11-13 grown at 25C and 37C along with input samples

Genome-wide mapping of yeast RNA polymerase II termination

Project description:Using a modification of the yeast anchor away and PAR-CLIP protocols, we have mapped the position of Pol II genome-wide in living yeast cells after depletion of components of either the polyadenylation (pA) or non-pA termination complexes. Depletion of Ysh1 from the nucleus does not lead to readthrough transcription. In contrast, depletion of the termination factor Nrd1 leads to widespread runaway elongation of non-pA transcripts. Depletion of Sen1 also leads to readthrough at non-pA terminators but in contrast to Nrd1 this readthrough appears less processive. Examination of PAR-CLIP sequencing data of Pol II after removal of different transcriptional termination factors.

Sen1 is required for robust RNA Polymerase III transcription termination

Project description:R-loop disassembly by the human helicase Senataxin contributes to genome stability and to proper transcription termination at a subset of RNA polymerase II genes. Whether Senataxin-mediated R-loop disassembly also contributes to transcription termination at other classes of genes has remained unclear. Here we show that Sen1, one of two fission yeast homologues of Senataxin, promotes efficient termination of RNA Polymerase III (RNAP3) transcription in vivo. In the absence of Sen1, RNAP3 accumulates downstream of the primary terminator at RNAP3-transcribed genes and produces long exosome-sensitive 3’-extended transcripts. Importantly, neither of these defects was affected by the removal of R-loops. The finding that Sen1 acts as an ancillary factor for RNAP3 transcription termination in vivo challenges the pre-existing view that RNAP3 terminates transcription autonomously. We propose that Sen1 is a cofactor for transcription termination that has been co-opted by different RNA polymerases in the course of evolution.
