Bidirectional terminators in Saccharomyces cerevisiae prevent cryptic transcription from invading neighbouring genes

ABSTRACT: Transcription can be quite disruptive for chromatin so cells have evolved mechanisms to preserve chromatin integrity during transcription, hence preventing the emergence of cryptic transcript from spurious promoter sequences. How these transcripts are regulated and processed by cells remains poorly characterized. Notably, very little is known about the termination of cryptic transcription. Here we used RNA-Seq to identify and characterize cryptic transcripts in Spt6 mutant cells (spt6-1004) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found polyadenylated cryptic transcripts running both sense and anti-sense relative to genes in this mutant. Cryptic promoters were enriched for TATA boxes, suggesting that the underlying DNA sequence defines the location of cryptic promoters. While intragenic sense cryptic transcripts terminate at the terminator of the genes that host them, we found that anti-sense cryptic transcripts preferentially terminate at the 3’-end of upstream genes. These findings led us to demonstrate that most terminators in yeast are bidirectional, leading to termination and polyadenylation of transcripts coming from either direction. We propose that S. cerevisiae has evolved this mechanism in order to prevent spurious transcription from invading neighbouring genes, a feature particularly critical for organisms with small compact genomes.

RNA Polymerase II interactome in presence or absence of SPT6 in U2OS cells

Project description:SPT6 is a histone chaperone that tightly binds RNA polymerase II (POL2) during transcription elongation. However, its primary role in POL2 transcription is uncertain. We used targeted protein degradation to rapidly deplete SPT6 in human cells and analyzed defects in POL2 behavior by a multi-omics approach and mathematical modeling. Our data indicate that SPT6 is a crucial factor for POL2 processivity and is therefore required for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes. Unexpectedly, SPT6 also has a vital role in POL2 termination, as acute depletion induced readthrough transcription for thousands of genes. Long-term depletion of SPT6 induced cryptic intragenic transcription, as observed earlier in yeast. However, this phenotype was not observed upon acute SPT6 depletion and therefore can be attributed to accumulated epigenetic perturbations in the absence of SPT6. In conclusion, targeted protein degradation of SPT6 allowed the temporal discrimination of its function as an epigenetic safeguard and POL2 elongation factor.

Casein Kinase 2 Mediated Phosphorylation of Spt6 Modulates Histone dynamics and Regulates Spurious Transcription (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:CK2 is an essential protein kinase implicated in various cellular processes. In this study, we address a potential role of this kinase in chromatin modulations associated with transcription. We found that CK2 depletion from yeast cells leads to replication-independent increase of histone H3K56 acetylation and global activation of H3 turnover in coding regions. This suggests a positive role of CK2 in maintenance/recycling of the histone H3/H4 tetramers during transcription. Interestingly, strand-specific RNA-seq analyses show that CK2 inhibits global cryptic promoters driving both sense and antisense transcription. This further indicates a role of CK2 in the modulation of chromatin during transcription. Next, we showed that CK2 interacts with the major histone chaperone Spt6, and phosphorylates it in vivo and in vitro. CK2 phosphorylation of Spt6 is required for its cellular levels, for the suppression of histone H3 turnover and for the inhibition of spurious transcription. Finally, we show that CK2 and Spt6 phosphorylation sites are important to various transcriptional responses suggesting that cryptic intragenic and antisense transcript production may have an impact on cell adaptation to environmental cues. Altogether, our data indicate that CK2 mediated phosphorylation of Spt6 regulates chromatin dynamics associated with transcription, and prevents aberrant transcription.

Targeted protein degradation reveals direct roles of SPT6 in POL2 elongation and termination

Project description:SPT6 is both, an important histone chaperone and POL2 elongation factor but its primary role on transcription in mammalian cells remains open, as no acute depletion system is available. We used targeted protein degradation to rapidly deplete SPT6 and analyzed defects in POL2 behavior by a multi-omics approach and estimated POL2 processivity, elongation rates and termination and compared it to gene transcription. Our data indicate that SPT6 is a crucial factor for POL2 elongation. Unexpectedly, SPT6 has also a vital role in POL2 termination, as acute depletion induces POL2 read through at most protein coding genes. In contrast, acute depletion did not induce spurious intragenic initiation, while this behavior can be induced by long-term depletion of SPT6 and can therefore be attributed to its function as a histone chaperone. In conclusion, targeted protein degradation of SPT6 allows the kinetic discrimination of its function as a histone chaperone and POL2 elongation factor.

Evidence that cryptic promoters occur extensively throughout the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome

Project description:Microarray analysis was used to identify all cryptic promoters in the S. cerevisiae genome that are activated in spt6 and spt16 mutants. These experiments showed that cryptic initiation is widespread, occurring in approximately 1,000 genes. We generated 2 microarray profiles from fluor-reversed replicates of wild-type and spt6-1004 or spt16-197 mutants. See Cheung et al., (2008) in revision.

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).

Transcription profiling of S. cerevisiae Nab3 and Nrd1 mutants

Project description:Nrd1 and Nab3 are two yeast RNA binding proteins which have been shown to be involved in transcription termination of non poly(A) genes. We have used expression profiling of a Nab3 mutant to discover novel RNA targets of the Nrd1 and Nab3 transcription termination pathway. Failure to terminate RNA polymerase II by Nab3 leads to continued transcription well beyond the correct termination sites, altering the expression of adjacent downstream genes. Using this concept, our microarray uncovered the up-regulation of numerous genes that are located downstream of âcryptic unstable transcriptsâ, transcripts that are transcribed, terminated and rapidly degraded by Nrd1, Nab3, and the nuclear exosome. Experiment Overall Design: Four yeast total RNA samples where analyzed in this study. These RNAs come from two separate strains of yeast, each strain at either the permissive temperature (25C) or the non-permissive temperature (37C). One of these strains is a wild type strain of yeast used as a control. The other strain has a mutation in the Nab3 protein that confers temperature sensitivity at the non-permissive temperature of 37C. After two hours at the non-permissive temperature, we observe disruptions in the Nrd1/Nab3 transcription termination pathway and this is the scheme that we followed for our microarray experiment. Our goal was to observe the global expression changes after 2 hours without Nab3 function.
