TRF2 is recruited to the pre-initiation complex as a testis-specific subunit of TFIIA/ALF to promote haploid cell gene expression.

Project description:Mammalian genomes encode two genes related to the TATA-box binding protein (TBP), TBP-related factors 2 and 3 (TRF2 and TRF3). Male Trf2(-/-) mice are sterile and characterized by arrested spermatogenesis at the transition from late haploid spermatids to early elongating spermatids. Despite this characterization, the molecular function of murine Trf2 remains poorly characterized and no direct evidence exists to show that it acts as a bona fide chromatin-bound transcription factor. We show here that Trf2 forms a stable complex with TFIIA or the testis expressed paralogue ALF chaperoned in the cytoplasm by heat shock proteins. We demonstrate for the first time that Trf2 is recruited to active haploid cell promoters together with Tbp, Taf7l and RNA polymerase II. RNA-seq analysis identifies a set of genes activated in haploid spermatids during the first wave of spermatogenesis whose expression is down-regulated by Trf2 inactivation. We therefore propose that Trf2 is recruited to the preinitiation complex as a testis-specific subunit of TFIIA/ALF that cooperates with Tbp and Taf7l to promote haploid cell gene expression.

TRF2 is recruited to the pre-initiation complex as a testis-specific subunit of TFIIA/ ALF to promote haploid cell gene expression [ChIP-seq]

Project description:TRF2 is a paralogue of TATA-box binding protein (TBP) with highest expression in testis. Although Trf2 inactivation in mice leads to arrested spermatogenesis, there is no direct evidence that Trf2 is recruited to chromatin to directly regulate gene expression. We used genetically modified mice where endogenous Trf2 has been modified to carry a TAP-TAG to perform ChIP-reChIP followed by deep sequencing. We found that Trf2 is recruited to all active promoters as a subunit of TFIIA/ALF complex together with TBP.

UL49 is an essential subunit of the viral pre-initiation complex that regulates human cytomegalovirus gene transcription.

Project description:More than half the world's population is infected with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), causing congenital birth defects and impacting the immuno-compromised. Many of the >170 HCMV genes remain uncharacterized, and this gap in knowledge limits the development of novel antivirals. In this study, we investigated the essential viral protein UL49 and found it displayed leaky late expression kinetics, and localized to nuclear replication compartments. Cells infected with mutant UL49 virus were unable to produce infectious virions and phenocopied other beta-gamma viral pre-initiation complex (vPIC) subunit (UL79, UL87, UL91, UL92, and UL95) mutant infections. RNA-seq analysis of vPIC mutant infections revealed a consistent diminution of genes encoding capsid subunits, including TRX2/UL85 and MCP/UL86, envelope glycoproteins gM, gL and gO, and egress-associated tegument proteins UL99 and UL103. Therefore, as a member of the vPIC, UL49 serves as a fundamental HCMV effector that governs viral gene transcription required to complete the replication cycle.

Structures of transcription pre-initiation complex with TFIIH and Mediator.

Project description:For the initiation of transcription, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) assembles with general transcription factors on promoter DNA to form the pre-initiation complex (PIC). Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PIC and PIC-core Mediator complex at nominal resolutions of 4.7?Å and 5.8?Å, respectively. The structures reveal transcription factor IIH (TFIIH), and suggest how the core and kinase TFIIH modules function in the opening of promoter DNA and the phosphorylation of Pol II, respectively. The TFIIH core subunit Ssl2 (a homologue of human XPB) is positioned on downstream DNA by the 'E-bridge' helix in TFIIE, consistent with TFIIE-stimulated DNA opening. The TFIIH kinase module subunit Tfb3 (MAT1 in human) anchors the kinase Kin28 (CDK7), which is mobile in the PIC but preferentially located between the Mediator hook and shoulder in the PIC-core Mediator complex. Open spaces between the Mediator head and middle modules may allow access of the kinase to its substrate, the C-terminal domain of Pol II.

Opening-closing dynamics of the mitochondrial transcription pre-initiation complex.

Project description:Promoter recognition and local melting of DNA are key steps of transcription initiation catalyzed by RNA polymerase and initiation factors. From single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mitochondrial RNA polymerase Rpo41 and its transcription factor Mtf1, we show that the pre-initiation complex is highly dynamic and undergoes repetitive opening-closing transitions that are modulated by Mtf1 and ATP. We found that Rpo41 alone has the intrinsic ability to bend the promoter but only very briefly. Mtf1 enhances bending/opening transition and suppresses closing transition, indicating its dual roles of nucleating promoter opening and stabilizing the open state. The cognate initiating ATP prolongs the lifetime of the open state, plausibly explaining the 'ATP sensing mechanism' suggested for the system. We discovered short-lived opening trials upon initial binding of Rpo41-Mtf1 before the establishment of the opening/closing equilibrium, which may aid in promoter selection before the formation of stable pre-initiation complex. The dynamics of open complex formation provides unique insights into the interplay between RNA polymerase and transcription factors in regulating initiation.

Architecture of an RNA polymerase II transcription pre-initiation complex.

Project description:The protein density and arrangement of subunits of a complete, 32-protein, RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcription pre-initiation complex (PIC) were determined by means of cryogenic electron microscopy and a combination of chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry. The PIC showed a marked division in two parts, one containing all the general transcription factors (GTFs) and the other pol II. Promoter DNA was associated only with the GTFs, suspended above the pol II cleft and not in contact with pol II. This structural principle of the PIC underlies its conversion to a transcriptionally active state; the PIC is poised for the formation of a transcription bubble and descent of the DNA into the pol II cleft.

TRF2 Mediates Replication Initiation within Human Telomeres to Prevent Telomere Dysfunction.

Project description:The telomeric shelterin protein telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) recruits origin recognition complex (ORC) proteins, the foundational building blocks of DNA replication origins, to telomeres. We seek to determine whether TRF2-recruited ORC proteins give rise to functional origins in telomere repeat tracts. We find that reduction of telomeric recruitment of ORC2 by expression of an ORC interaction-defective TRF2 mutant significantly reduces telomeric initiation events in human cells. This reduction in initiation events is accompanied by telomere repeat loss, telomere aberrations and dysfunction. We demonstrate that telomeric origins are activated by induced replication stress to provide a key rescue mechanism for completing compromised telomere replication. Importantly, our studies also indicate that the chromatin remodeler SNF2H promotes telomeric initiation events by providing access for ORC2. Collectively, our findings reveal that active recruitment of ORC by TRF2 leads to formation of functional origins, providing an important mechanism for avoiding telomere dysfunction and rescuing challenged telomere replication.

Structure of a Complete Mediator-RNA Polymerase II Pre-Initiation Complex.

Project description:A complete, 52-protein, 2.5 million dalton, Mediator-RNA polymerase II pre-initiation complex (Med-PIC) was assembled and analyzed by cryo-electron microscopy and by chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry. The resulting complete Med-PIC structure reveals two components of functional significance, absent from previous structures, a protein kinase complex and the Mediator-activator interaction region. It thereby shows how the kinase and its target, the C-terminal domain of the polymerase, control Med-PIC interaction and transcription.
