Nascent RNA antagonises the interaction of regulatory proteins with chromatin

ABSTRACT: A number of transcriptional and chromatin regulatory proteins have been reported to be recruited to chromatin by specific regulatory RNAs. Whether RNA has a more general role in the interaction of proteins with chromatin is unknown. We used proteomics methods to determine the global impact of nascent RNA on chromatin in embryonic stem cells. Surprisingly, we found that nascent RNA primarily antagonises the interaction of chromatin modifiers and transcriptional regulators with chromatin. Transcriptional inhibition and RNA degradation induced recruitment of a set of transcriptional regulators, chromatin modifiers, nucleosome remodelers, and regulators of higher-order structure. RNA directly bound to factors including BAF, NuRD, EHMT1 and INO80 and inhibited their interaction with nucleosomes. In the case of the transcriptional elongation factor P-TEFb, direct binding to pre-mRNA released it from the chromatin-associated 7SK ribonucleoprotein complex. We propose that through these mechanisms, nascent RNA provides a direct link between transcriptional output and chromatin state.

Nascent RNA antagonises the interaction of a set of regulatory proteins with chromatin

The transcriptional elongation factor P-TEFb directly bound pre-mRNA and its recruitment to chromatin upon Pol II inhibition was regulated by the 7SK ribonucleoprotein complex. We postulate that by antagonising the interaction of regulatory proteins with chromatin, nascent RNA links transcriptional output with chromatin composition.

A novel transcriptional signalling pathway mediated by the trafficking protein Ambra1 via scaffolding Atf2 complexes

Project description:Previously, we reported that Ambra1 is a core component of a cytoplasmic trafficking network, acting as a spatial rheostat to control active Src and FAK levels in addition to its critical roles in autophagy during neurogenesis. Here we identify a novel nuclear scaffolding function for Ambra1 that controls gene expression. Ambra1 binds to nuclear pore proteins, to other adaptor proteins like FAK and Akap8 in the nucleus, as well as to chromatin modifiers and transcriptional regulators such as Brg1, Cdk9 and the cAMP-regulated transcription factor Atf2. Ambra1 contributes to their association with chromatin and we identified genes whose transcription is regulated by Ambra1 complexes, likely via histone modifications and phospho-Atf2-dependent transcription. Therefore, Ambra1 scaffolds protein complexes at chromatin, regulating transcriptional signalling in the nucleus; in particular, it recruits chromatin modifiers and transcriptional regulators to control expression of genes such as Angpt1, Tgfb2, Tgfb3, Itga8 and Itgb7 that likely contribute to the role of Ambra1 in cancer cell invasion.

A nuclear RNA export factor variant licenses piRNA-guided heterochromatin formation

Project description:Small RNA silencing pathways protect genome integrity in part through establishing heterochromatin at transposon loci. In animals, this process requires piRNA-guided targeting of nuclear PIWI proteins to nascent transcripts. The molecular events contributing to heterochromatin formation upon PIWI binding to nascent RNA, a transient molecule at chromatin, are unknown. Here, we identify SFINX, a protein complex that is required for Piwi-mediated co-transcriptional silencing in Drosophila. It consists of Nxf2—a variant of the nuclear RNA export factor Nxf1/Tap, the mRNA export co-factor Nxt1/p15, and the Piwi-associated protein Panoramix. In the absence of Nxf2, Panoramix is targeted for degradation and piRNA-loaded Piwi is unable to establish heterochromatin. Consequently, nxf2 mutants exhibit severe transposon de-repression and are sterile. We show that within SFINX, Panoramix connects to the heterochromatin machinery while Nxf2 enables target silencing via nascent RNA. Thus, the Nxf2-Nxt1 heterodimer—despite having originated from core mRNA export machinery—has been repurposed for heterochromatin formation. Our data establish an unexpected link between nuclear small RNA biology and NXF-variants, which are widespread in animal lineages, but mostly lack ascribed functions.

PCID2 regulates HIV-1 transcription and viral RNA processing during latency

Project description:HIV-1 latency results from a combination of tightly regulated molecular processes that act at distinct steps of HIV-1 gene expression. In an effort to elucidate the molecular players that govern viral latency, we previously performed a dCas9 chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (Catchet-MS) and identified proteins bound differentially to the latent LTR that putatively promote HIV-1 latency. Here we characterize the Catchet-MS identified PCI domain-containing 2 (PCID2) protein to play a dual role in promoting HIV-1 latency by enforcing both HIV-1 transcription repression as well as post-transcriptional blocks. PCID2 bound the latent HIV-1 LTR and repressed transcription initiation during latency. Depletion of PCID2 remodeled the chromatin landscape at the HIV-1 promoter and resulted in transcriptional activation and reversal of latency. Immunoprecipitation coupled to Mass Spectrometry identified the PCID2 interacting proteins to include members of the spliceosome and other splicing regulators, including negative regulators of viral RNA alternative splicing. PCID2 depletion resulted in over-splicing of intron-containing HIV-1 RNA and mis-regulated expression of vRNA splice variants. Finally, consistent with its role in NXF1-mediated nascent RNA nucleocytoplasmic export as part of the TREX2 complex, PCID2 modulates export of completely spliced vRNA. In summary, we demonstrate that PCID2 is a previously unidentified factor involved in HIV-1 latency regulation which plays a dual role in blocking HIV-1 gene expression by acting on transcription initiation as well as viral RNA processing.

Waves of sumoylation support transcription dynamics during adipocyte differentiation

Project description:Tight control of gene expression networks involved in adipose tissue formation and plasticity is required to adapt to energy needs and environmental cues. However, little is known about the mechanisms that orchestrate the dramatic transcriptional changes leading to adipocyte differentiation. We investigated the regulation of nascent transcription by SUMO during adipocyte differentiation using SLAMseq and ChIPseq. We discovered that SUMO has a dual function in differentiation; it supports the initial downregulation of pre-adipocyte-specific genes, while it promotes the establishment of the mature adipocyte transcriptional program. By characterizing SUMOylome dynamics in differentiating adipocytes by mass spectrometry, we found that SUMOylation of specific transcription factors like PPARG/RXR and chromatin modifiers promotes the transcription of adipogenic genes. Our data demonstrate that the sumoylation pathway helps coordinates the rewiring of transcriptional networks required for formation of functional adipocytes.

Transcriptional memory of dFOXO activation in youth curtails later-life mortality

Project description:Identifying processes occurring in early life affect subsequent life and health span is an urgent aim to improve human health. In this study, we identified a novel mechanism of dFOXO in longevity determination in Drosophila. We found that early adulthood induction of dFOXO is sufficient to reduce mortality in old age through different pathways than chronic dFOXO. We showed that dFOXO requires specific ATP-dependent chromatin modifiers to extend lifespan, and we could mimic this lifespan extension by modulating dFOXO’s targets in later life. Furthermore, dFOXO in early life induces a specific transcriptional programme that counteracts the natural transcriptomic changes occurring with age. Our findings provide a better understanding of transcriptional mechanisms related to longevity and opens new avenues for possible time-restricted interventions to improve human health in the future.

EZH1 Orchestrates Rhythmicity of Circadian Gene Expression Acting on Transcription Machinery Integrity

Project description:Circadian rhythmicity of gene expression is a conserved feature of cell physiology. This involves fine tuning between transcriptional and post-transcriptional molecular mechanisms, strongly dependent on the metabolic state of the cell, which guarantees adaptive plasticity of tissue-specific genetic programs. Dynamics of epigenome structure and epigenetic regulators support this plasticity. However, the intermingle between epigenome and RNA Pol II rhythmicity remains to be investigated. Here we identify the Polycomb group (PcG) protein EZH1 as a gateway bridging function regulating periodic alternation between chromatin mediated silencing and active transcription in post-mitotic skeletal muscle cells. We show that PRC2-EZH1 core components are under direct regulation of BMAL1, and show an oscillatory behavior and a regulated periodic assembly of PRC2-EZH1 complex. Instead at alternate Zeitgeber points, EZH1 becomes essential for circadian gene expression, through stabilization of RNA Pol II preinitiation complex controlling nascent transcription process. Collectively, our data show that EZH1 depending on the stoichiometry of its partners guarantees both negative and positive modulation of RNA Pol II activity, resulting in oscillatory transcription.
