Project description:The conserved transcription elongation factor Spt6 makes several contacts with the RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) complex, including a high-affinity interaction between the Spt6 tandem SH2 domain (Spt6-tSH2) and phosphorylated residues of the Rpb1 subunit in a region linking the catalytic core and the heptad repeats at the C-terminal domain (CTD). This interaction contributes to generic localization of Spt6, but we show here that it also has gene-specific roles. Disrupting the interface affected transcription start site selection at a subset of genes whose expression is regulated by this choice, and this was accompanied by changes in the distinct pattern of Spt6 occupancy at these sites. Splicing efficiency was also impacted, as was apparent progression through introns that encode snoRNAs. Expression of genes that are particularly sensitive to efficient restoration of chromatin after transcription were affected, and a distinct role in maintaining +1 nucleosomes was identified, especially at ribosomal protein genes. The Spt6-tSH2:Rpb1 interface therefore has both genome-wide functions and local roles at subsets of genes where dynamic decisions regarding initiation, transcript processing, or termination are made. We propose that the Spt6-tSH2:Rpb1 interaction participates in coordinating appropriate responses to the varying local conditions encountered RNAPII at each gene, perhaps by modulating the elongation rate to allow reconfiguration of accessory factor activity or availability.

Project description:The conserved transcription elongation factor Spt6 makes several contacts with the RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) complex, including a high-affinity interaction between the Spt6 tandem SH2 domain (Spt6-tSH2) and phosphorylated residues of the Rpb1 subunit in the linker between the catalytic core and the C-terminal domain (CTD) heptad repeats. This interaction contributes to generic localization of Spt6, but we show here that it also has gene-specific roles. Disrupting the interface affected transcription start site selection at a subset of genes whose expression is regulated by this choice, and this was accompanied by changes in a distinct pattern of Spt6 accumulation at these sites. Splicing efficiency was also diminished, as was apparent progression through introns that encode snoRNAs. Chromatin-mediated repression was impaired, and a distinct role in maintaining +1 nucleosomes was identified, especially at ribosomal protein genes. The Spt6-tSH2:Rpb1 interface therefore has both genome-wide functions and local roles at subsets of genes where dynamic decisions regarding initiation, transcript processing, or termination are made. We propose that the interaction modulates the availability or activity of the core elongation and histone chaperone functions of Spt6, contributing to coordination between RNAPII and its accessory factors as varying local conditions call for dynamic responses.

Project description:The conserved transcription elongation factor Spt6 makes several contacts with the RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) complex, including a high-affinity interaction between the Spt6 tandem SH2 domain (Spt6-tSH2) and phosphorylated residues in Rpb1 in a region between the catalytic core and the heptad repeats of its C-terminal domain (CTD). This interaction contributes to the global occupancy of Spt6 within transcription units, suggesting that it has a general role in tethering Spt6 to the elongation complex. However, we show here that disrupting this binding caused increases in some transcripts, revealing specific functional roles in regulating the expression of subsets of genes. These included loci whose regulation involves differential transcription start site selection, early termination of transcription, or efficient restoration of chromatin integrity after transcription. Loss of this interaction also caused a defect in splicing, and apparent pausing of RNAPII progression in regions requiring more complex processing of excised introns. The results support a global role for the Spt6-tSH2:Rpb1 interaction as one of several means of stabilizing the association of Spt6 with RNAPII, but they also reveal local functions at specific sites, especially those where dynamic decisions regarding initiation or termination are made, or where changes in the configuration of associated factors occur. We therefore propose that the Spt6-tSH2:Rpb1 interaction can provide a conduit for communication between RNAPII and the elongation factor function of Spt6, or with other factors associated with the Rpb1 CTD, supporting appropriate elongation through challenging templates and efficient co-transcriptional processing.

Project description:We determined that the tandem SH2 domain of S. cerevisae Spt6 binds the linker region of the RNA polymerase II subunit Rpb1, rather than the expected sites in its heptad repeat domain. The 4 nM binding affinity requires phosphorylation at Rpb1 S1493 and either T1471 or Y1473. Crystal structures showed that pT1471 binds the canonical SH2 pY site while pS1493 binds an unanticipated pocket 70 Å distant. Remarkably, the pT1471 phosphate occupies the phosphate-binding site of a canonical pY complex, while Y1473 occupies the position of a canonical pY side chain, with the combination of pT and Y mimicking a pY moiety. Biochemical data and modeling indicate that pY1473 can form an equivalent interaction, and we find that pT1471/pS1493 and pY1473/pS1493 combinations occur in vivo. ChIP-seq and genetic analyses demonstrate the importance of these interactions for recruitment of Spt6 to sites of transcription and for the maintenance of repressive chromatin.

Project description:The transcription elongation factor Spt6 and the H3K36 methyltransferase Set2 are both required for H3K36 methylation and transcriptional fidelity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By selecting for suppressors of a transcriptional defect in an spt6 mutant, we have isolated dominant SET2 mutations (SET2sup mutations) in a region encoding a proposed autoinhibitory domain. The SET2sup mutations suppress the H3K36 methylation defect in the spt6 mutant, as well as in other mutants that impair H3K36 methylation. ChIP-seq studies demonstrate that the H3K36 methylation defect in the spt6 mutant, as well as its suppression by a SET2sup mutation, occur at a step following the recruitment of Set2 to chromatin. Other experiments show that a similar genetic relationship between Spt6 and Set2 exists in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Taken together, our results suggest a conserved mechanism by which the Set2 autoinhibitory domain requires multiple interactions to ensure that H3K36 methylation occurs specifically on actively transcribed chromatin.

Project description:The carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1, the largest component of the 12-subunit RNA polymerase II, consists of repeating Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7 heptapeptides (26 repeats in budding yeast). Each stage of transcription relies on the ordered recruitment and exchange of specific protein complexes that act on RNA polymerase II, its nascent transcripts, and the underlying chromatin. This dynamic process is orchestrated via patterned post-translational modifications of the CTD. To characterize the role of phosphorylation on Thr4, we examined the effect of Rpb1 alleles in which Thr4 was substituted with an alanine (T4A) or the phospho-mimic glutamate (T4E). Substitutions were made across all heptad repeats of the CTD.
We affinity purified HA-tagged Rpb1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains bearing WT, T4A, and T4E CTDs. A control strain (Z26) lacking the HA-tagged Rpb1 was subjected to an identical affinity enrichment procedure. Three biological replicates were acquired for each type of affinity purification and analyzed independently. After TCA-precipitation, proteins were urea-denatured, reduced, alkylated, then digested with endoproteinase LysC followed by trypsin. The resulting peptide mixtures were analyzed by Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT). Label-free quantitative proteomics was used to identify and quantify the relative abundance of affinity-enriched complexes.
