Project description:Gene expression by RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) is tightly controlled by Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) at discrete checkpoints during the transcription cycle. The RNAPII pausing checkpoint, engaged after transcription initiation, is controlled by CDK9 to regulate transcription in metazoans. We discovered that CDK9-mediated RNAPII pause-release is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex. PP2A dynamically competes for key CDK9 substrates, DSIF and RNAPII-CTD, and is recruited to transcription pausing sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. INTS6 depletion confers resistance to CDK9 inhibition in a variety of normal and tumor cell lines. Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLL-rearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that f inely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

Loss of INTS6 abolishes the Integrator-PP2A association leading to unrestrained CDK9 activity, which amplifies transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill MLLrearranged leukemias and solid tumors and provide therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity at the pausing checkpoint.

Project description:A PP2A-Integrator complex regulates transcriptional pause-release by functionally opposing CDK9
| PRJNA607046 | ENA
Project description:In this study, we discovered that CDK9-mediated, RNAPII-driven transcription is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex that is recruited to transcription sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. PP2A dynamically antagonises phosphorylation of key CDK9 substrates including DSIF and RNAPII-CTD. Loss of INTS6 results in resistance to tumor cell death mediated by CDK9 inhibition, decreased turnover of CDK9 phospho-substrates and amplification of acute cell growth and pro-inflammatory transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill both leukemic and solid tumor cells, providing therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity throughout the transcription cycle.

Project description:CDK9 is a kinase critical for the productive transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). As part of P-TEFb, CDK9 phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of pol II and elongation factors, which allows pol II to elongate past the early elongation checkpoint (EEC) encountered soon after initiation. We show that, in addition to halting pol II at the EEC, loss of CDK9 activity causes premature termination of transcription across the last exon, loss of polyadenylation factors from chromatin, and loss of polyadenylation of nascent transcripts. Inhibition of the phosphatase PP2A abrogates the premature termination and loss of polyadenylation caused by CDK9 inhibition, indicating that this kinase/phosphatase pair regulates transcription elongation and RNA processing at the end of protein-coding genes. We also confirm the splicing factor SF3B1 as a target of CDK9 and show that SF3B1 in complex with polyadenylation factors is lost from chromatin after CDK9 inhibition. These results emphasize the important roles that CDK9 plays in coupling transcription elongation and termination to RNA maturation downstream of the EEC.
