Project description:TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2. Consequently, TAF2 recruits SRRM2 to TFIID to form non-canonical TFIID-SRRM2 complexes. Reduced SRRM2 recruitment elicits alternative splicing events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Further, genome-wide binding analyses suggest TAF2 shuttling between nuclear speckles and pol II promoters. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Project description:TFIID is an essential eukaryotic transcription factor, which is required for RNA polymerase II promoter recognition and activation. As a multiprotein complex, TFIID contains several intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but the functions of these IDRs are unknown. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives the TFIID subunit TAF2 to nuclear speckles, where it forms biomolecular condensates, separate from the TFIID complex. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR is required for the interaction with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2, which is thereby recruited to TFIID. The formation of SRRM2-free TFIID complexes elicits a set of unique alternative splicing events. These include events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Together, these data identify an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular switch between nuclear compartments to control protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

Project description:Large heteromeric multiprotein complexes play pivotal roles at every step of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Among them, the 20-subunits basal transcription factor TFIID nucleates RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex at gene promoters. Here, by combining systematic RNA-immunoprecipitation experiments, single-molecule imaging, proteomics and structure-function analyses, we show that TFIID is built using co-translational assembly. We discovered that all early steps of TFIID assembly, involving protein heterodimerization, happen during protein synthesis. Strikingly, we identify TAF1 – the largest protein in the complex – as a flexible scaffold subunit that co-translationally recruits preassembled TFIID submodules found populating the cytoplasm of cells. Consequently, TAF1 depletion leads to a cytoplasmic accumulation of TFIID building blocks. Altogether, our data suggest a multistep hierarchical model for TFIID biogenesis that culminates with the co-translational assembly on nascent TAF1 polypeptide, that works as a ‘driver’ subunit. We envision that this assembly strategy could be shared with other large heteromeric protein complexes.

Project description:TFIID is a cornerstone of eukaryotic gene regulation. Distinct TFIID complexes with unique subunit composition exist and several TFIID subunits are shared with other complexes, conveying intricate cellular decision making to control subunit allocation and functional assembly of this essential transcription factor. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we used quantitative proteomics to examine TFIID submodules and assembly mechanisms in human cells. Structural and mutational analysis of the cytoplasmic TAF5/TAF6/TAF9 submodule identified novel interactions crucial for TFIID integrity, and for allocating TAF9 to TFIID or the SAGA co-activator complex. We discover a key checkpoint function for the chaperonin CCT, which specifically associates with nascent TAF5 for subsequent handover to TAF6/TAF9 and ultimate holo-TFIID formation. Our findings illustrate at the molecular level how multisubunit complexes are crafted in the cell, involving checkpoint decisions facilitated by a chaperone machine.
