BRCA1 Balances the Action of a Transcription Elongation Factor In Mammary Gland Development and Tumorigenesis (sequencing)

ABSTRACT: Work from our mouse models showed that COBRA1, the B subunit of NELF, could facilitate R-loop (DNA:RNA hybrid) accumulation in the BRCA1-deficient mouse mammary epithelium. Since NELF could promoter RNA PolII pausing at promoter proximal regions, we asked whether COBRA1-mediated RNA Pol II pausing could contribute to accumulated R-loops. To answer this question, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) for RNA Pol II, as well as two NELF subunits, NELF-A and NELF-B (COBRA1) in mouse primary mammary epithelium cells. To locate R-loops in the same cell population, we performed DNA:RNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing (DRIP-seq) with or without treatment of RNase H, a nuclease that specifically degrades RNA in the R-loop structure. Our sequencing results showed that RNA Pol II, NELF and R-loops are all enriched at transcription start sites (TSSs). Notably, genes with TSS R-loop accumulation are significantly enriched for COBRA1 binding. Taken together, the genomic data lent additional support to the notion that COBRA1-mediated RNAPII pausing contributes to R-loop dynamics in mammary epithelium.

Attenuation of RNA polymerase II pausing mitigates BRCA1-associated R-loop accumulation and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Most BRCA1-associated breast tumors are basal-like yet originate from luminal progenitor cells. BRCA1 is best known for its functions in DNA repair and resolution of DNA replication stress. However, it is unclear whether loss of these ubiquitously important functions of BRCA1 fully explains the cell lineage-specific increase in breast tumor development. Cell culture-based studies implicate BRCA1 in elimination of R-loops, DNA-RNA hybrid structures involved in transcriptional regulation and genetic instability. We found that BRCA1 mutation-associated R-loop accumulates preferentially in luminal epithelial cells of cancer-free human breast tissue, and at the 5' end of those genes that experience promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing. Genetic ablation of mouse NELF-B/COBRA1, a Pol II-pausing factor and BRCA1-binding protein, in Brca1 knockout mouse mammary epithelium ameliorates R-loop accumulation and reduces mammary tumorigenesis. Our studies show that Pol II pausing is a previously unappreciated contributor to BRCA1-associated R-loop accumulation and breast cancer development.

Genome-wide map of RNA polymerase II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells

Project description:Most metazoan promoters have RNA polymerase II (Pol II) paused slightly downstream of the transcription start site by NELF and DSIF. This pausing keeps these promoters available for rapid induction by P-TEFb, whose activity causes NELF to dissociate and Pol II and DSIF to elongate on the gene. ChIP-Seq data was generated for Pol II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells and used to look at pausing downstream of unannotated promoters. 3x ChIP-Seq (Pol II, NELF, DSIF) in HeLa cells

Regulation of Mammalian Cell Growth and Survival By an RNA Polymerase II-Pausing Factor (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Many mammalian genes are occupied by paused RNA polymerase II (pol II) at promoter-proximal regions on both sides of transcription start sites (TSSs). However, the consequences of pol II pausing on gene expression and cell biology are not fully understood. Here we report that genetic ablation of the b subunit of mouse negative elongation factor (Nelf-b), a key pol II-pausing factor, results in slower progression at multiple cell cycle stages and increased apoptosis. Consistently, a whole-genome analysis indicates that growth and cell death-related genes are highly enriched among the direct target genes of Nelf-b. In particular, Nelf-b deletion increases pol II density in the promoter-distal region of stress response genes and their overall expression levels in the absence of any external stress signals. In addition, our work also reveals a previously unappreciated role of Nelf-b role in curbing TSS-upstream transcription of many mammalian genes. We suggest that Nelf-mediated pol II pausing balances the cellular needs for growth/survival and stress response by preventing excessive basal transcription of stress-induced genes.

SPT6 functions in transcriptional pause/release via PAF1C recruitment

Project description:In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute 5 protein-depletion approach, prominent release and a subsequent increase in mature transcripts, whereas long genes fail to yield mature transcripts due to a loss of processivity. Mechanistically, loss of SPT6 results in loss of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) from RNA Pol II, leading to NELF-bound RNA Pol II release into the gene bodies. Furthermore, SPT6 and/or PAF1 depletion impairs heat shock-induced pausing, pointing to a role for SPT6 in regulating RNA Pol II pause/release through the recruitment of PAF1C during the early elongation.

Essential Signaling Function of Cytoplasmic NELFB Independent of RNA Polymerase II Pausing [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Biochemical studies have established that the four-subunit negative elongation factor (NELF) complex mediates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing at promoter proximal regions. Genetic ablation of individual NELF subunits destabilizes the entire NELF complex and causes lethality of cultured cells, leading to the prevailing concept that NELF-mediated Pol II pausing is essential for cell survival. Using separation-of-function mutations, we show here that NELFB’s effects on cell proliferation can be uncoupled from its function in Pol II pausing. NELFB mutants localized in the cytoplasm and incapacitated in the NELF complex assembly still retain their ability to support cell proliferation and at least part of NELFB-dependent transcriptome. Furthermore, we demonstrate that cytoplasmic NELFB physically and functionally interacts with multiple pro-survival signaling kinases, most notably PI3K/AKT. Enforced activation of PI3K/AKT-related kinases largely rescues deficiency of NELFB-depleted cells in proliferation, but not Pol II pausing. Together, these data revise the current understanding of the growth impact of Pol II pausing and underscore multiplicity of the biological function of individual NELF subunits.

Immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from a Nelf-b flox/- embryo were infected with control or Cre-epxressing retrovirus. Gene expression profile of control and knockout MEF at 7 days after virus infection were compared by using Illumina's mouse whole-genome gene expression BeadChIPs. There are two replicates for both control and knockout MEF samples.
