ARS2 is a general suppressor of pervasive transcription [RNAseq]

ABSTRACT: Termination of transcription is important for establishing gene punctuation marks. It is also critical for suppressing many of the pervasive transcription events occurring throughout eukaryotic genomes and coupling their RNA products to efficient decay. In human cells, the ARS2 protein has been implicated in such function as its depletion causes transcriptional read-through of selected gene terminators and because it physically interacts with the ribonucleolytic nuclear RNA exosome. Here, we study the role of ARS2 on transcription and RNA metabolism genome-wide. We show that ARS2 depletion negatively impacts levels of promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at protein-coding (pc) genes, Moreover, our results reveal a general role of ARS2 in transcription termination-coupled RNA turnover at short transcription units like snRNA-, replication dependent histone (RDH)-, promoter upstream transcript (PROMPT)- and enhancer RNA (eRNA)-loci. Depletion of the ARS2 interaction partner ZC3H18 mimics the ARS2 depletion, although to a milder extent, whereas depletion of the exosome core subunit RRP40 only impacts RNA abundance post-transcriptionally. Interestingly, ARS2 is also involved in transcription termination events within first introns of pc genes. Our work therefore establishes ARS2 as a general suppressor of pervasive transcription with the potential to regulate protein-coding gene expression.

The human cap-binding complex is functionally connected to the nuclear RNA exosome

Project description:Nuclear processing and quality control of eukaryotic RNA is mediated by the multi-subunit RNA exosome, which utilizes accessory factors to regulate its enzymatic activity. However, the mechanism of exosome recruitment to its ribonucleoprotein (RNP) targets remains poorly understood. Here we disclose a physical link between the human nuclear RNA exosome and the cap-binding complex (CBC). The CBC associates with the ARS2 protein to form CBC-ARS2 (CBCA), and then further connects together with the uncharacterized ZC3H18/NHN1 protein to the nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex, forming CBC-NEXT (CBCN). RNA immunoprecipitation analysis using CBCN factors as baits as well as the combinatorial depletion of CBCN and exosome components underscore the functional relevance of CBC-exosome bridging at the level of target RNA. Specifically, CBCA suppresses read-through transcription of several RNA families by promoting their transcriptional termination. We suggest that the RNP 5M-bM-^@M-^Ycap links transcription termination to exosomal RNA degradation via CBCN. In total 10 samples; 4 control IP HeLa, 2 Flag- Ars2 IP, 2 Flag-CBP20 IP; and 2 GFP-RBM7 Ips. The signal intensity data was analyzed with the Affymetrix Tiling Analysis Software (v. 1.1) using parameters: one side upper, 90 bp bandwidth and perfect match only. Output txt files (i.e. result file). TASParam* files include parameter settings and input file information for the TAS analysis for each result file.

ARS2 instructs early transcription termination-coupled RNA decay by recruiting ZC3H4 to nascent transcripts [TT-Seq]

Project description:The RNA-binding ARS2 protein is centrally involved in both early RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription termination and transcript decay. Despite its essential nature, the mechanisms by which ARS2 enacts these functions have remained unclear. Here, we show that a conserved basic domain of ARS2 binds a corresponding acidic-rich, short linear motif in the transcription restriction factor ZC3H4. This interaction recruits ZC3H4 to chromatin to elicit Pol II termination, independent of other early termination pathways defined by the cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) and Integrator (INT) complexes. ZC3H4, in turn, directly connects to the ZCCHC8 component of the nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex, hereby facilitating rapid degradation of the nascent RNA. Hence, ARS2 instructs the coupled transcription termination and degradation of the transcript onto which it is bound. This contrasts with ARS2 function at CPA-instructed termination sites where the protein exclusively partakes in RNA suppression via post-transcriptional decay.

The PAF1 complex promotes 3‘ processing of pervasive transcripts

Project description:The PAF1 complex (PAF1C) functions in multiple transcriptional processes involving RNA Polymerase II (Pol II). eRNAs and PROMPTs are pervasive transcripts transcribed by Pol II and rapidly degraded by the nuclear exosome complex after 3’ endonucleolytic cleavage by the Integrator complex (Integrator). Here we show that PAF1C has an unexpected role in the termination of eRNAs and PROMPTs that are cleaved 1-3 kb downstream of the transcription start site. Mechanistically, PAF1C facilitates recruitment of Integrator to sites of pervasive transcript cleavage, promoting timely cleavage and transcription termination. We also show that PAF1C recruits Integrator to coding genes, where PAF1C then dissociates from Integrator upon entry into processive elongation. Our results demonstrate an unexpected function for PAF1C in limiting the length and accumulation of pervasive transcripts that result from nonproductive transcription

ZC3H4, ARS2, and WDR82 coordinate non-coding transcriptional termination and are opposed by telescripting on protein-coding genes [ars2-zc3h4_double_degron]

Project description:There are thousands of unstable non-coding (nc) RNAs in humans, but their transcriptional regulation is poorly characterized compared to protein-coding transcripts. We recently identified a restrictor complex containing ZC3H4 and WDR82, which terminates non-coding transcription. Here we show that the ncRNA termination factor, ARS2, and the nuclear exosome targeting complex (NEXT) are part of this complex. ARS2/NEXT and WDR82 contact different parts of ZC3H4, which are required for its transcription regulatory function. They facilitate ZC3H4-mediated termination by different mechanisms: ARS2 aids substrate targeting and WDR82 mediates RNA polymerase II interaction. ZC3H4 and WDR82 predominantly affect antisense, unstable, and intragenic ncRNAs. We provide an explanation for this by showing that U1 telescripting shields hundreds of protein-coding transcripts from their termination functions. We have defined an expanded ZC3H4 restrictor complex, its principles of action, and how protein-coding transcripts evade it.
