Dynamic Change of Transcription Pausing through Modulating NELF Protein Stability Regulates Granulocytic Differentiation

ABSTRACT: The NELF complex is a metazoan-specific factor essential for establishing transcription pausing. Although NELF has been implicated in cell fate regulation, the cellular regulation of NELF and its intrinsic role in specific lineage differentiation remains largely unknown. Using mammalian hematopoietic differentiation as a model system, here we identified a dynamic change of NELF-mediated transcription pausing as a novel mechanism regulating hematopoietic differentiation. We found a sharp decrease of NELF protein abundance during granulocytic differentiation with a consequent genome-wide reduction of transcription pausing. This loss of pausing coincides with activation of granulocyte-affiliated genes and diminished expression of progenitor markers. Functional studies revealed that sustained expression of NELF inhibits granulocytic differentiation, whereas NELF depletion in progenitor cells leads to premature differentiation towards the granulocytic lineage. Our results thus uncover a previously unrecognized regulation of transcription pausing by modulating NELF protein abundance to control cellular differentiation.

Genome-wide map of RNA polymerase II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells

Project description:Most metazoan promoters have RNA polymerase II (Pol II) paused slightly downstream of the transcription start site by NELF and DSIF. This pausing keeps these promoters available for rapid induction by P-TEFb, whose activity causes NELF to dissociate and Pol II and DSIF to elongate on the gene. ChIP-Seq data was generated for Pol II, NELF, and DSIF in HeLa cells and used to look at pausing downstream of unannotated promoters. 3x ChIP-Seq (Pol II, NELF, DSIF) in HeLa cells

Heart tissue from Nelf-b CreER mice

Project description:Negative elongation factor (NELF) is known to enforce promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a pervasive phenomenon observed across multicellular genomes. However, the physiological impact of NELF on tissue homeostasis remains unclear. Here we show for the first time that whole-body conditional deletion of the B subunit of NELF (NELF-B) in adult mice results in cardiomyopathy and impaired response to cardiac stress. Tissue-specific knockout of NELF-B confirms its cell-autonomous function in cardiomyocytes. NELF directly supports transcription of those genes encoding rate-limiting enzymes in fatty acid oxidation and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. NELF also shares extensively transcriptional target genes with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha (PPARalpha), a master regulator of energy metabolism in myocardium. Mechanistically, NELF helps stablize the transcription initation complex at the metabolism-related genes. Our findings strongly indicate that NELF is part of the PPARalpha-mediated transcription regulatory network that maintains metabolic homeostasis in cardiomyocytes. 3 Nelf-b f/f and 3 Nelf-b f/f; CreER female mice were injected with Tamoxifen at 8 wk old. Heart tissue were harvested at 20 wks old and used for RNA preparation.

Integrator complex regulates NELF-mediated RNA Polymerase II pause/release and processivity at coding genes [RNA-seq]

Project description:RNAPII pausing/termination shortly after initiation is a hallmark of gene regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are still to be uncovered. Here, we show that NELF interacts with Integrator complex subunits (INTScom) forming a stable complex with RNPII and Spt5. The interaction between NELF and INTScom subunits is RNA and DNA independent. Using both HIV-1 promoter and genome wide analyses, we demonstrate that Integrator subunits specifically control NELF-mediated RNAPII pause/release at coding genes. The strength of RNAPII pausing is determined by the nature of the NELF-associated complex. Interestingly, in addition to controlling RNAPII pause release INTS11 catalytic subunit of the INTScom is required for the synthesis of full length mRNA. Finally, INTScom-target genes are enriched in HIV-1 TAR/ NELF-binding element and in a 3’box sequence required for snRNA biogenesis. Revealing these unexpected functions of INTScom in regulating RNAPII pausing/release and completion of mRNA synthesis of NELF-target genes will contribute to our understanding of the gene expression cycle.

NELF-A controls Drosophila healthspan by regulating heat-shock protein-mediated cellular protection and heterochromatin maintenance

Project description:Epigenetic alteration is a hallmark of aging, but it remains unclear if perturbation of transcription machineries may affect longevity. NELF-mediated pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) constitutes an important step in transcription regulation. We found that halving NELF-A level in heterozygous mutants or via neuronal-specific depletion of NELF-A improves locomotor activity, stress resistance and lifespan of Drosophila significantly. Mechanistically, lower NELF-A releases paused RNAPII to facilitate productive transcription of the heat-shock protein (Hsp) genes. Elevated HSPs attenuate the level of protein aggregation, reactive oxidative species, DNA damage and systemic inflammation in the brains of NELF-A depleted flies. This protection is conserved in human cells where NELF-A depletion confers improved resistance against oxidative stress. Reduced oxidative DNA damage allows the maintenance of H3K9me2-enriched heterochromatin, which represses the activation of specific retrotransposons during aging. Therefore, by regulating transcription of Hsp genes in the brains, NELF-A controls multiple aspects of aging in Drosophila.

The NELF pausing checkpoint mediates the functional divergence of Cdk9

Project description:Cdk9 is an essential transcriptional kinase that is conserved across distant eukaryotes, but we previously found that acute inhibition of Cdk9 causes different transcriptional phenotypes in NELF-containing higher eukaryotes (like mammals and Drosophila) vs. the NELF-lacking fission yeast S. pombe. NELF is known to participate in promoter-proximal pausing of RNA Polymerase II, and using NELF-depleted Drosophila cells, we find that this NELF-mediated pause is necessary to prevent gene body entry by Pol II in the absence of Cdk9. Without NELF, the abnormal gene body entry that occurs following Cdk9 inhibition is strikingly similar to that seen in S. pombe, and in either case, these Pol II complexes have elongation defects and are unable to complete gene transcription. These results show that NELF enforces an early checkpoint for Cdk9 and efficiently shuts down gene transcription in its absence. We propose this would have been critical for the emergence of gene regulatory strategies acting via Cdk9 to modulate transcription of specific genes.
