Unbiased mapping of Thr4 phosphorylation on RNA Pol II CTD indicates role in elongation and 3'-end processing

ABSTRACT: RNA polymerase II relies on a repetitive sequence domain (YSPTSPS) within its largest subunit to orchestrate transcription. While the significance of phosphorylation on Ser2/Ser5 is well-established, the role of Thr4 remains enigmatic. Thr4 phosphorylation has been implicated in elongation, termination, and mRNA processing, yet it has only been detected after transcription end sites, presenting a paradox. Our investigation revealed that Thr4 phosphorylation is initially obscured by flanking Ser5 phosphorylation at the onset of transcription. By selectively removing this masking effect using a phosphatase, we unveiled the true genomic location of this evolutionarily conserved phosphorylation mark, shedding light on Thr4 phosphorylation cellular functions. Subsequent proteomic analyses unearthed that many proteins previously associated with Ser2 are actually recruited to transcription via Thr4. Crucially, Thr4 phosphorylation primes Ser2 phosphorylation, leading to lethal defects in 3'-end processing. Our findings delineate the true genomic location and function of this "phantom" mark, prompting a reassessment of functional assignments of the CTD heptad.

Thr4 phosphorylation on RNA Pol II occurs at early transcription regulating 3’-end processing

Project description:RNA polymerase II relies on a repetitive sequence domain (YSPTSPS) within its largest subunit to orchestrate transcription. While phosphorylation on Ser2/Ser5 of the C-terminal heptad repeats is well-established, Thr4’s role remains enigmatic. Paradoxically, Thr4 phosphorylation was only detected after transcription end sites despite functionally implicated in pausing, elongation, termination, and mRNA processing. Our investigation revealed that Thr4 phosphorylation detection was obstructed by flanking Ser5 phosphorylation at the onset of transcription, which can be removed selectively. Subsequent proteomic analyses identified many proteins recruited to transcription via Thr4 phosphorylation, which previously were attributed to Ser2. Importantly, loss of Thr4 phosphorylation greatly reduces Ser2 phosphorylation, revealing a crosstalk between the two marks. Finally, the function analysis of the Thr4 phosphorylation highlighted its role in alternative 3’-end processing within pro-proliferative genes. Our findings unveil the true genomic location of this evolutionarily conserved phosphorylation mark and prompt a reassessment of functional assignments of the CTD.

Mitotic Transcriptional Clearance of Actively Engaged Pol II Through Transcriptional Elongation Control

Project description:Chromatin is highly condensed and transcriptionally repressed during mitosis. Although it is established that some general transcription factors are inactivated by phosphorylation at mitosis, many details of mitotic transcriptional repression and its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we provide evidence that as cells enter mitosis, genes with transcriptionally engaged RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) can continue transcription until the end of the gene to clear Pol II from mitotic chromatin. Using ChIP-Seq, we find that the transcriptional reinitiation process is globally impaired in early mitosis (prophase/prometaphase), with loss of TFIIB occupancy and nucleosome-free regions at promoters. Pretreatment of nocodazole-arrested mitotic cells with the P-TEFb inhibitor flavopiridol prevents the release of promoter-proximal engaged Pol II. Global nascent RNA sequencing and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of individual genes demonstrate the existence of transcriptionally engaged Pol II in early mitosis. Chemical and mutational inhibition of P-TEFb in mitosis leads to delays in the progression of cell division. Together, our study reveals a novel mechanism for mitotic transcriptional repression whereby transcriptionally engaged Pol II can progress into productive elongation and finish transcription to allow proper cellular division. ChIP-Seq of Pol II of different forms, TFIIB, H3K4me3 in human HeLa cells at different cell cycle stages. ChIP-Seq of Pol II in HeLa mitotic cells with or without CDK9 inhibitor flavopiridol pretreatment. Nascent RNA-seq in asynchronous and arrested mitotic cells.

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.

Pol II preferentially regulates ribosomal protein expression by trapping disassociated subunits

Project description:Pol II has been recognized as a passively regulated holoenzyme. However, whether Pol II plays specific regulatory roles remain unclear. Here, fractions containing disassociated RPB3 (dRPB3) were identified by size exclusion chromatography in various cells. Through a unique strategy, Specific Degradation of Disassociated Subunits (SDDS), we demonstrated that dRPB3 functions as a regulatory component of Pol II to enable the preferential control of 3’ end processing of ribosomal protein genes directly through its N-terminal domain. Machine learning analysis of large-scale genomic features revealed that the little elongation complex helps to specialize the functions of dRPB3. Mechanistically, dRPB3 facilitates CBC-PCF11 axis activity to increase the efficiency of 3’ end processing. Furthermore, RPB3 is dynamically regulated during development and diseases. These findings suggest that Pol II gains specific regulatory functions by trapping disassociated subunits.

Spt4 promotes Pol I processivity and transcription elongation

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the effect of Spt4 on transcription by Pol I in vivo. Therefore, Native Elongating Transcript Sequencing (NET-seq) was used to evaluate the occupancy of Pol I in wild-type and spt4△ strains. We determined that in spt4△ yeast, there was a processivity defect and Pol I accumulated at the 5' end of the 35S gene. Additionally, we observed that there was an enrichment for G-rich sequences just downstream of a high A content in the spt4△ strain, indicating that perhaps Spt4 plays a role in helping to propel Pol I through these regions of the rDNA. Altogether, this study suggests that Spt4 is an important transcription factor for Pol I by promoting polymerase processivity.
