Project description:RNA polymerase III (Pol III) is an essential enzyme responsible for the synthesis of several small non-coding RNAs, a number of which are involved in mRNA translation. Recessive mutations in POLR3A, encoding the largest subunit of Pol III, cause POLR3-related hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (POLR3-HLD), characterized by deficient central nervous system myelination. Identification of the downstream effectors of pathogenic POLR3A mutations has been so far elusive. Here, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to introduce the POLR3A mutation c.2554A>G (p.M852V) into human cell lines and assessed its impact on Pol III biogenesis, nuclear import, DNA occupancy, transcription, and protein levels. Transcriptomic profiling uncovered a subset of transcripts vulnerable to Pol III hypofunction, including a global reduction in tRNA levels. The brain cytoplasmic BC200 RNA (BCYRN1), involved in translation regulation, was consistently affected in all our cellular models, including patient-derived fibroblasts. Genomic BC200 deletion in an oligodendroglial cell line led to major transcriptomic and proteomic changes, having a larger impact than those of POLR3A mutations. Upon differentiation, mRNA levels of the MBP gene, encoding myelin basic protein, were significantly decreased in POLR3A-mutant cells. Our findings provide the first evidence for impaired Pol III transcription in cellular models of POLR3-HLD and identify several candidate effectors, including BC200 RNA, having a potential role in oligodendrocyte biology and involvement in the disease.

Project description:Many regulatory proteins and complexes have been identified which influence transcription by RNA polymerase (pol) II with a fine precision. In comparison, only a few regulatory proteins are known for pol III, which transcribes mostly house-keeping and non-coding RNAs. Yet, pol III transcription is precisely regulated under various stress conditions like starvation. We used proteomic approaches and pol III transcription complex components TFIIIC (Tfc6), pol III (Rpc128) and TFIIIB (Brf1) as baits to find identify the potential interactors through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. A large number of proteins were found in the interactome, which includes known chromatin modifiers, factors and regulators of transcription by pol I and pol II.

Project description:RNA Pol III plays a vital role in transcription and as a viral-DNA sensor, but how it is assembled and distributed within cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that Pol III is assembled with chaperones in the cytoplasm and forms transcription-dependent protein clusters upon transport into the nucleus. The largest subunit (RPC1) depletion through an auxin-inducible degron leads to rapid degradation and disassembly of Pol III complex in the nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively. This generates a pool of partially assembled Pol III intermediates, which can be rapidly mobilized into the nucleus upon the restoration of RPC1. Our study highlights the critical role of subcellular localization in determining Pol III's fate and provide insight into the dynamic regulation of nuclear Pol III levels and the origin of cytoplasmic Pol III complexes involved in mediating viral immunity.

Project description:There are about 600 loci in the mammalian genome that are annotated as RNA polymerase III genes. These comprise tRNA genes, the genes encoding 5S RNA, the smallest ribosomal RNA, and genes encoding catalytic or structural RNAs involved in processes as diverse as RNA processing or transcription elongation. Most RNA polymerase III genes have similar promoter structures, yet they are transcribed with different efficiencies. Here we have explored how RNA polymerase III occupancy of these genomic loci varies in a normal tissue, the liver, during the transition from a resting state to a proliferating state. We find that after partial hepatectomy, which causes synchronous entry of remaining liver cells into the cell division cycle, there is a tremendous increase in RNA polymerase III occupancy. This increase is, however, not uniform and concerns mostly loci that were lowly occupied by RNA polymerase III in resting liver. The changes in RNA polymerase III occupancy cannot be correlated with changes in RNA polymerase II occupancy around the RNA polymerase III loci nor at nearby RNA polymerase II promoters. RNA polymerase III loci with the largest fold change tend to be located in clusters, with the cluster displaying the largest changes located on chromosome 13. This suggests that increases in RNA polymerase III occupancy during the transition from resting to proliferating state affect mostly genes whose basal rate of transcription is relatively low and which are located in clusters.

Project description:RNA polymerase (pol) III transcribes a variety of small untranslated RNAs that are involved in essential cellular processes that include transcription, RNA processing, and translation. RNA pol III and its components are altered in various human developmental disorders, yet their roles in cell fate determination and development are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that Maf1, a transcriptional repressor, promotes induction of mouse embryonic stem cells into mesoderm and their terminal differentiation into adipocytes. Reduced Maf1 expression in preadipocytes impairs adipogenesis while ectopic Maf1 expression in Maf1-/- deficient cells enhances differentiation. RNA pol III repression by either chemical inhibition or knockdown of Brf1, promotes adipogenesis. Altered RNA pol III-dependent transcription produces select changes in RNA pol II-derived transcripts with a significant enrichment of adipogenic gene signatures. Furthermore, RNA pol III-mediated transcription positively regulates long non-coding RNA H19 and Wnt6 expression, established adipogenesis inhibitors. Together, these studies reveal an important and unexpected function for RNA pol III-mediated transcription and Maf1 in mesoderm induction and cellular differentiation.

Project description:In higher eukaryotes, an important mechanism to tune translation in different tissues and conditions is mTORC1-dependent regulation of tRNAs transcription by RNA polymerase III (Pol III), as the relative amount of tRNAs tightly coordinates with the translational needs of the cell. mTORC1 contributes to regulate protein synthesis through its direct substrate MAF1, which functions as a negative regulator of Pol III transcription in response to stimuli such as serum starvation or rapamycin treatment. Here, we applied ChIP-seq to examine the Pol III occupancy profile in human fibroblasts and report evidence of a genome wide, MAF1-dependent coordinated response to favorable or stress growth conditions. Strikingly, while a set of genes is extremely responsive in terms of Pol III binding, other genes are mostly unperturbed, yet associated with transcriptionally engaged polymerases as revealed by nascent EU-labeled RNA-seq (neuRNA-seq). As shown by DamIP-seq, the responsiveness of a subset of genes is tightly connected to the rapid and transient interaction of MAF1 with DNA-bound Pol III.
