Project description:Activating mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, also known as the RAS-MEK-extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK1/2) pathway, are an underlying cause of >70% of human cancers. While great strides have been made toward elucidating the cytoplasmic components of MAPK signaling, the key downstream coactivators that coordinate the transcriptional response have not been fully illustrated. Here, we demonstrate that the MAPK transcriptional response in human cells is funneled through Integrator, an RNA polymerase II-associated complex. Integrator depletion diminishes ERK1/2 transcriptional responsiveness and cellular growth in human cancers harboring activating mutations in MAPK signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of the MAPK pathway abrogates the stimulus-dependent recruitment of Integrator at immediate early genes and their enhancers. Following epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, activated ERK1/2 is recruited to immediate early genes and phosphorylates INTS11, the catalytic subunit of Integrator. Importantly, in contrast to the broad effects of Integrator knockdown on MAPK responsiveness, depletion of a number of critical subunits of the coactivator complex Mediator alters only a few MAPK-responsive genes. Finally, human cancers with activating mutations in the MAPK cascade, rendered resistant to targeted therapies, display diminished growth following depletion of Integrator. We propose Integrator as a crucial transcriptional coactivator in MAPK signaling, which could serve as a downstream therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Project description:We investigated the genomic occupancy of INTS11, in normal condition and after stimulation of EGF. Total RNAPII was profiled in the presence or absence of INTS11, along with the Super Elongation Complex proteins AFF4 and ELL2. Additionally, we extensively examined the transcriptional response to EGF, before and after depletion of INTS11, using RNA-seq on ribosome-depleted total RNA and Global Run-on sequencing (GRO-seq).

Project description:Pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in early elongation is critical for gene regulation. Paused RNAPII can be released into productive elongation by the kinase P-TEFb or targeted for premature termination by the Integrator complex. Integrator comprises endonuclease and phosphatase activities, driving termination through cleavage of nascent RNA and removal of stimulatory phosphorylation. To probe the direct consequences of Integrator activity, we generated a degron system to rapidly deplete the Integrator endonuclease INTS11. Degradation of INTS11 elicits a nearly universal increase in RNAPII escape from promoter regions. However, these RNAPII complexes fail to achieve optimal elongation rates and reveal continued Integrator phosphatase activity. Short transcripts are thus selectively upregulated by INTS11 loss, including many non-coding RNAs, transcription factors and signaling regulators. Together, our data indicate a common function for INTS11 at all RNAPII loci, with differential effects on particular genes, pathways or RNA biotypes reflecting transcript lengths rather than Integrator specificity.
