Project description:Transcription is typically divergent, initiating at closely spaced oppositely oriented core promoters to produce sense and unstable upstream antisense transcripts (uasTrx). How antisense transcription is regulated and coordinated with sense transcription is largely unknown. Here by combining acute degradation of the multi-functional transcription factor CTCF and nascent transcription measurements, we find that CTCF specifically suppresses antisense but not sense transcription at hundreds of divergent promoters, the great majority of which bear proximal CTCF binding sites. Genome editing, chromatin conformation studies and 5’ transcript mapping revealed that CTCF directly suppresses uasTrx initiation in manner independent of its chromatin architectural function. Primary transcript RNA FISH revealed co-bursting of sense and anti-sense transcripts is disfavored, suggesting CTCF-regulated competition for transcription initiation. In sum, CTCF shapes the noncoding transcriptional landscape by suppressing upstream antisense transcription.

Project description:Anti-sense transcription originating upstream of mammalian protein-coding genes is a well-documented phenomenon, but remarkably little is known about the function or regulation of these anti-sense promoters or the non-coding RNAs they generate. Here we define at nucleotide resolution the divergent transcription start sites (TSSs) near mouse mRNAs. We find that coupled sense and anti-sense TSSs form the boundaries of an evolutionarily conserved and nucleosome-depleted regulatory region with dramatically enriched transcription factor (TF) occupancy. Notably, as the distance between sense and anti-sense TSSs increases, so does the level of TF binding and signal-dependent gene activation. We further discover a cluster of anti-sense TSSs in macrophages with an enhancer-like chromatin signature. Remarkably, this signature identifies promoters that are selectively and rapidly activated during immune challenge. We conclude that anti-sense TSSs can serve as potent, local enhancers of sense-strand gene expression by facilitating TF binding and deposition of activating histone modifications.

ChIP-seq, Start-RNA-seq, and MNase-seq from mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), and Start-RNA-seq from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) are included. For ChIP-seq, two biological replicates are included for each of three treatment conditions; untreated, 30 minutes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and 2 hours LPS. Each biological replicate for all ChIP conditions was sequenced in two lanes for depth, creating two technical replicates for each biological replicate. Raw files for paired technical replicates are labeled as repX.1 and repX.2, where repX.1 is technical replicate 1 and repX.2 is technical replicate 2. For Start-RNA-seq in BMDMs, two biological replicates are included for each of three treatment conditions; untreated, 30 min LPS, and 2 hr LPS. For MNase-seq, data from three biological replicates of untreated BMDMs are included. Four technical replicates of biological replicate 1, two technical replicates of biological replicate 2, and four technical replicates of biological replicate 3 are included. Raw files for paired technical replicates are labeled as repX.1, repX.2, repX.3, etc. For Start-RNA-seq in untreated MEFs, two biological replicates are included. Two technical replicates for each of the MEF Start-RNA-seq biological replicates are included. Paired technical replicates are labeled as repX.1 and repX.2.

Project description:Mammalian transcriptomes are complex and formed by extensive promoter activity. Moreover, gene promoters are largely divergent and initiate transcription of reverse-oriented promoter upstream transcripts (PROMPTs). Although PROMPTs are commonly terminated early, influenced by early polyadenylation (pA) sites, promoters often cluster so that the divergent activity of one might impact another. Here, we find that the distance between promoters strongly correlates with the expression, stability and length of their associated PROMPTs. Adjacent promoters driving divergent mRNA transcription support PROMPT formation, but due to pA site constraints, these transcripts tend to spread into the neighboring mRNA on the same strand. This mechanism to derive new alternative mRNA transcription start sites (TSSs) is also evident at closely spaced promoters supporting convergent mRNA transcription. We suggest that basic building blocks of divergently transcribed core promoter pairs, in combination with the wealth of TSSs in mammalian genomes, provides a framework with which evolution shapes transcriptomes.

Project description:RNA polymerases are highly regulated molecular machines. We present a method (GRO-seq) that maps the position, amount, and orientation of transcriptionally-engaged RNA polymerases genome-wide. In this method, nuclear run-on RNAs are subjected to large-scale parallel sequencing and mapped to the genome. Here, we show that peaks of promoter-proximal polymerase reside on ~30% of human genes, transcription extends beyond pre-mRNA 3M-bM-^@M-^Y cleavage, and antisense transcription is prevalent. Additionally, most promoters have an engaged polymerase upstream and in an orientation opposite to the annotated gene. This divergent polymerase is associated with active genes, but does not elongate effectively beyond the promoter. These results imply that the interplay between polymerases and regulators over broad promoter regions dictates the orientation and efficiency of productive transcription.

Project description:The directionality of gene promoters, the proportion of protein coding over divergent noncoding transcription, is highly variable and regulated. How promoter directionality is controlled remains poorly understood. We show that chromatin remodelling complex RSC, general regulatory factors (GRFs) including transcription factors (TFs) can facilitate promoter directionality by attenuating divergent noncoding transcription. Depletion of RSC increased divergent noncoding and decreased protein coding transcription of promoters with strong directionality. Consistent with RSC’s role in regulating chromatin, RSC depletion negatively impacts nucleosome positions upstream of the nucleosome depleted region where divergent transcription initiates, suggesting that nucleosome positioning upstream in promoters physically blocks the recruitment of transcription machinery. Likewise, divergent transcription can be suppressed by targeting GRFs and TFs or the bulky dCas9 protein to transcriptional initiation sites. We propose that RSC mediated nucleosome positioning, GRFs including TFs form the physical barriers in promoters for limiting of divergent transcription, thereby controlling promoter directionality.
