Argonaute2 and LaminB repress transcription by controlling RNA Pol II recruitment and chromatin topology in Drosophila melanogaster (mRNA)

ABSTRACT: Although best known as core components of RNA silencing pathways in the cytoplasm, Argonautes have been shown to regulate gene expression by functioning in the nucleus. Previous work showed that Drosophila AGO2 is preferentially associated with active promoters and can activate gene expression by promoting looping to an enhancer. In order to elucidate the genome-wide role of AGO2 in regulating transcription, we performed mass spec analysis of factors that interact with AGO2 in nuclear extracts and found RNA Pol II and LaminB among the top-associated proteins. Using nascent RNA sequencing, we showed that AGO2 and LaminB co-repress transcription at borders between both LaminB-associated domains (LAD) and topologically-associated domains (TADs). Furthermore, LaminB and AGO2 specifically prevent RNA Pol II recruitment at repressed genes, and AGO2 additionally impairs the ability of RNA Pol II to extend into active elongation. Using mRNA-seq profiling, we identified a somatic target of AGO2 repression, nht, which leads to ectopic expression of spermatogenesis genes in AGO2 null mutants. Interestingly, nht is immersed in a LAD located within a repressive TAD flanked by AGO2 binding sites. 4C-seq analysis showed that depletion of either AGO2 or LaminB results in a significant decrease in frequency of interactions within the TAD as well as ectopic inter-TAD interactions. Overall, our findings reveal a coordinated function for AGO2 and LaminB in dictating the overall architecture of the genome to control the recruitment of RNA Pol II and thereby regulate gene expression.

Argonaute2 and LaminB modulate gene expression by controlling chromatin topology (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Drosophila Argonaute2 (AGO2) is known to regulate expression of certain loci in an RNA interference-independent manner, but its genome-wide function on chromatin remains unknown. Here, we identified RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) and LaminB as AGO2 nuclear interactors. AGO2 and LaminB attenuate transcription at borders between both LaminB-associated domains (LADs) and topologically-associated domains (TADs). We identified a somatic target of AGO2 transcriptional repression, nht, which is immersed in a LAD located within a repressive TAD. Null mutation of AGO2 leads to ectopic expression of spermatogenesis genes dependent on nht. Finally, depletion of either AGO2 or LaminB results in reduced looping interactions within the TAD as well as ectopic inter-TAD interactions. Overall, our findings reveal coordination of AGO2 and LaminB to dictate overall genome architecture and thereby regulate gene expression.

Argonaute2 and LaminB modulate gene expression by controlling chromatin topology (neuRNA-seq)

Project description:Drosophila Argonaute2 (AGO2) is known to regulate expression of certain loci in an RNA interference-independent manner, but its genome-wide function on chromatin remains unknown. In order to elucidate the mechanism by which AGO2 regulates transcription, we performed mass spec analysis of factors that interact with AGO2 in nuclear extracts and identified RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) and LaminB among the top-associated proteins. We found that AGO2 and LaminB attenuate transcription genome-wide, including borders between both LaminB-associated domains (LADs) and topologically-associated domains (TADs). Furthermore, we identified a somatic target of AGO2 transcriptional repression, nht, which is immersed in a LAD located within a repressive TAD. Null mutation of AGO2 leads to ectopic expression of spermatogenesis genes dependent on nht.

Overall, our findings reveal coordination of AGO2 and LaminB to dictate overall genome architecture and thereby regulate gene expression.

Targeted protein degradation reveals Pol II heterogeneity and functional diversity

Project description:RNA polymerase II (Pol II) subunits are thought to be involved in various transcription-associated processes, but it is unclear whether they play different regulatory roles in modulating gene expression. Here, we performed nascent and mature transcript sequencing after the acute degradation of 12 mammalian Pol II subunits and profiled their genomic binding sites and protein interactomes to dissect their molecular functions. We found that Pol II subunits contribute differently to Pol II cellular localization and transcription process and preferentially regulate RNA processing (such as RNA splicing and 3’ end maturation). Genes sensitive to the depletion of different Pol II subunits tend to be involved in diverse biological functions and show different RNA half-lives. Sequences, associated protein factors, and RNA structures are correlated with Pol II subunit-mediated differential gene expression. These findings collectively suggest that the heterogeneity of Pol II and different genes appear to depend on some of the subunits.

Argonaute2 attenuates active transcription by limiting RNA Polymerase II elongation in Drosophila melanogaster [ChRIPseq-AGO2]

Project description:Increasing lines of evidence support that Argonaute2 (AGO2) harbors several nuclear functions in metazoa. In particular, Drosophila AGO2 modulates transcription of developmentally regulated genes; however, the molecular mechanisms behind AGO2 recruitment into chromatin and its function in transcription have not been deeply explored. In this study, we show that Drosophila AGO2 chromatin association depends on active transcription. In order to gain insight into how AGO2 controls transcription, we performed differential ChIP-seq analysis for RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) upon depletion of AGO2. Interestingly, we find specific accumulation of the elongating but not initiating form of Pol II after AGO2 knockdown, suggesting that AGO2 impairs transcription elongation. Finally, AGO2 also affects Negative Elongation Factor (NELF) chromatin association but not the Cyclin Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9). Altogether, these results provide key insights into the molecular role of AGO2 in attenuating elongation of certain actively transcribed genes.
