Mitotic Transcriptional Clearance of Actively Engaged Pol II Through Transcriptional Elongation Control

ABSTRACT: Chromatin is highly condensed and transcriptionally repressed during mitosis. Although it is established that some general transcription factors are inactivated by phosphorylation at mitosis, many details of mitotic transcriptional repression and its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we provide evidence that as cells enter mitosis, genes with transcriptionally engaged RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) can continue transcription until the end of the gene to clear Pol II from mitotic chromatin. Using ChIP-Seq, we find that the transcriptional reinitiation process is globally impaired in early mitosis (prophase/prometaphase), with loss of TFIIB occupancy and nucleosome-free regions at promoters. Pretreatment of nocodazole-arrested mitotic cells with the P-TEFb inhibitor flavopiridol prevents the release of promoter-proximal engaged Pol II. Global nascent RNA sequencing and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of individual genes demonstrate the existence of transcriptionally engaged Pol II in early mitosis. Chemical and mutational inhibition of P-TEFb in mitosis leads to delays in the progression of cell division. Together, our study reveals a novel mechanism for mitotic transcriptional repression whereby transcriptionally engaged Pol II can progress into productive elongation and finish transcription to allow proper cellular division.

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

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.

Characterization of GFP-Gdown1 interactors by IP and LC-MS/MS

Project description:Approximately half of purified mammalian RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is associated with a tightly interacting sub-stoichiometric subunit, Gdown1. Previous studies have established that Gdown1 inhibits transcription initiation through competitive interactions with general transcription factors and blocks the Pol II termination activity of transcription termination factor 2 (TTF2). However, the biological functions of Gdown1 remain poorly understood. Here, we utilized genetic, microscopic, and multi-omics approaches to functionally characterize Gdown1 in three human cell lines. Acute depletion of Gdown1 caused minimal direct effects on transcription. We show that Gdown1 resides predominantly in the cytoplasm of interphase cells, shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus, and is regulated by nuclear export. Gdown1 enters the nucleus at the onset of mitosis. Consistently, genetic ablation of Gdown1 is associated with partial de-repression of mitotic transcription, and Gdown1 KO cells present with evidence of aberrant mitoses coupled to p53 pathway activation. Evidence is presented demonstrating that Gdown1 modulates the combined functions of purified productive elongation factors PAF1C, RTF1, SPT6, DSIF, and P-TEFb in vitro. Collectively, our findings support a model wherein the Pol II-regulatory function of Gdown1 occurs during mitosis and is required for stably maintaining a pattern of gene expression across cell divisions. To characterize potential interactors of Gdown1 in the cytoplasm, an eGFP-TEV-Gdown1 HAP1 cell line was developed. Cytosolic extracts were prepared, GFP-Trap Agarose (Chromotek) was utilized to pull down Gdown1 and associated factors, and associated proteins were characterized by LC-MS/MS.

Allosteric transcription stimulation by super elongation complex

Project description:The super elongation complex (SEC) contains the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and a subcomplex, ELL2-EAF1, which stimulates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of ELL2-EAF1 bound to a Pol II elongation complex at 2.8 Å resolution. The ELL2-EAF1 dimerization module directly binds the Pol II lobe, explaining how SEC delivers P-TEFb to Pol II. The same site on the lobe also binds the initiation factor TFIIF, consistent with SEC binding only after the transition from transcription initiation to elongation. Structure-guided functional analysis shows that elongation stimulation requires the dimerization module and an ELL2 protein linker that tethers this module to the Pol II protrusion. Our results show that SEC stimulates elongation allosterically and indicate that this stimulation involves stabilization of a further closed conformation of the Pol II active center cleft.

Dynamic regulation of histone modifications and long-range chromosomal interactions during post-mitotic transcriptional reactivation [EU-RNA-seq]

Project description:During mitosis, transcription of genomic DNA is dramatically reduced, before its reactivation occurs during nuclear reformation in anaphase/telophase. Many aspects of the underlying principles that mediate transcriptional memory and reactivation in the daughter cells remain unclear. Here, we used ChIP-seq on synchronized cells at different stages after mitosis to generate genome-wide maps of histone modifications. In combination with EU-RNA-seq and Hi-C analyses, we show that, during prometaphase, promoters, enhancers, and insulators retain H3K4me3 and H3K4me1, while losing H3K27ac. Enhancers harboring mitotic H3K4me1 are associated with cell type-specific transcription factor motifs and mitotic activation of cell identity genes. As cells exit mitosis, promoters regain H3K27ac, which correlates with transcriptional reactivation. Insulators also gain H3K27ac and CCCTC binding factors (CTCF) in anaphase/telophase. This increase may play a role in the establishment of topologically associating domains (TADs). Together, our results show that the genome is reorganized in sequential order, in which histone methylations occur first in prometaphase, histone acetylation and CTCF in anaphase/telophase, transcription in cytokinesis, and long-range chromatin interactions in early G1. Our results provide insights into the histone modification landscape that allows faithful reestablishment of the transcriptional program and TADs during cell division.
