Riluzole partially restores RNA polymerase III complex assembly in cells expressing the leukodystrophy-causative variant POLR3B R103H

ABSTRACT: The mechanism of assembly of RNA polymerase III (Pol III), the 17-subunit enzyme that synthesizes tRNAs, 5S rRNA, and other small-nuclear (sn) RNAs in eukaryotes, is not clearly understood. The recent discovery of the HSP90 co-chaperone PAQosome (Particle for Arrangement of Quaternary structure) revealed a function for this machinery in the biogenesis of nuclear RNA polymerases. However, the connection between Pol III subunits and the PAQosome during the assembly process remains unexplored. Here, we report the development of a mass spectrometry-based assay that allows the characterization of Pol III assembly. This assay was used to dissect the stages of Pol III assembly, to start defining the function of the PAQosome in this process, to dissect the assembly defects driven by the leukodystrophy-causative R103H substitution in POLR3B, and to discover that riluzole, an FDA-approved drug for alleviation of ALS symptoms, partly corrects these assembly defects. Together, these results shed new light on the mechanism and regulation of human nuclear Pol III biogenesis.

Project description:RNA polymerase (RNA Pol) III synthesizes the tRNAs, the 5S ribosomal RNA and a small number of untranslated RNAs. In vitro, it also transcribes short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). We investigated the distribution of RNA Pol III and its associated transcription factors on the genome of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell using a highly specific tandem ChIP-Seq method. Only a subset of the annotated class-III genes was bound and thus transcribed. A few hundred SINEs were associated with the RNA Pol III transcription machinery. We observed that RNA Pol III and its transcription factors were present at thirty unannotated sites on the mouse genome, only one of which was conserved in human. An RNA was associated with more than 80% of these regions. More than 2200 regions bound by TFIIIC transcription factor were devoid of RNA Pol III. These sites are correlated with association of CTCF and the cohesin. Cohesin has been shown to occupy sites bound by CTCF and to contribute to DNA loop formation associated with gene repression or activation. This observation suggests that TFIIIC may play a role in chromosome organization in mouse. We also investigated the genome-wide distribution of the ubiquitous TFIIS variant, TCEA1. We found that, as in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TFIIS is associated with class III genes and also with SINEs suggesting that TFIIS is a RNA Pol III transcription factor in mammals. We performed ChIP-seq experiment on mouse ES cells, in order to analyse the distribution of the RNA Pol III, with two of its subunits, RPC1 and RPC4, of the two distinct forms of the transcription factor TFIIIB, with BRF1 and BRF2, respectively subunit of TFIIIB-beta, and TFIIIB-alpha form, and three subunits of the transcription factor TFIIIC, TFIIIC90, TFIIIC110, TFIIIC220. We also analysed the distribution of the RNA Pol II elongation factor TCEA1. We used tagged proteins, in order to develop a highly specific and generic ChIP-seq protocol. A sequence encoding a 6 histidine-Flag-HA tag was inserted just after the last codon of the gene encoding proteins of the RNA Pol III machinery subunits, or just after the start codon for TCEA1, using the recombineering technology. Untagged ES cell line was used as negative control for data processing. Our dataset comprises of ten ChIP-seq samples, eight from tagged proteins, two from untagged cell line.
