(Submitter supplied) The highly conserved histone chaperone FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is thought to contribute to the disassembly and reassembly of nucleosomes in the wake of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) passage through chromatin. However, FACT’s roles in chromatin biology and transcriptional regulation in vivo in higher eukaryotes are not well understood. Here, we report that depletion of FACT leads to a reduction in the duration of promoter-proximal pausing by Pol II in Drosophila S2 cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is an evolutionarily conserved histone chaperone that was initially identified as an activity capable of promoting RNA polymerase II transcription through nucleosomes in vitro. In this report, we describe a global analysis of FACT function in Pol II transcription in Drosophila. We present evidence that loss of FACT has a dramatic impact on Pol II elongation-coupled processes including H3K4 and H3K36 methylation, consistent with a role for FACT in coordinating histone modification and chromatin architecture during Pol II transcription. more...

(Submitter supplied) The transition from transcription initiation to elongation is a key regulatory step in gene expression, which requires RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to escape promoter proximal pausing on chromatin. While elongation factors promote pause release leading to transcription elongation, the role of epigenetic modifications during this critical transition step is poorly understood. Two histone marks on histone H3, lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac), co-localize on active gene promoters and are associated with active transcription. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription activation involves RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment and release from the promoter into productive elongation, but how specific chromatin regulators control these steps is unclear. Here we identify a novel activity of the histone acetyltransferase p300/CBP in regulating promoter-proximal paused Pol II. We find that Drosophila CBP (nejire) inhibition impedes transcription through the +1 nucleosome leading to accumulation of Pol II at this position on all expressed genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription activation involves RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment and release from the promoter into productive elongation, but how specific chromatin regulators control these steps is not fully understood. Here we identify a novel activity of the co-regulator and histone acetyltransferase p300/CBP in positioning promoter-proximal paused Pol II. We find that CBP inhibition impedes transcription through the +1 nucleosome, causing “dribbling” of Pol II from the canonical pause site genome-wide. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes commonly occurs at promoter-proximal regions wherein transcriptionally engaged RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pauses before proceeding towards productive elongation. The roles of chromatin in this process remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the histone deacetylase SIRT6 regulates transcription elongation by binding to Pol II and anchoring the Negative ELongation Factor NELF, thereby preventing the release of Pol II towards elongation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The transition of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) from initiation to productive elongation is a central, regulated step in metazoan gene expression. At many genes, Pol II pauses stably in early elongation, remaining engaged with the 25-60 nucleotide-long nascent RNA for many minutes while awaiting signals for release into the gene body. However, a number of genes display highly unstable promoter Pol II, suggesting that paused polymerase terminates transcription at these promoters and releases a short, non-functional RNA. more...

(Submitter supplied) The control of promoter-proximal pausing and the release of RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) is a widely used mechanism for regulating gene expression in metazoans, especially for genes that respond to environmental and developmental cues. Here, we identify Pol II associated Factor 1 (PAF1) as a major regulator of promoter-proximal pausing. Knockdown of PAF1 leads to increased release of paused Pol II into gene bodies at thousands of genes. more...

S2-DRSC cells that have no Hox expression were stably transfected with HA-tagged Ubx under the control of a metallothionein promoter. Upon Ubx expression, we identified high enrichment of Ubx at a large number transcription start sites that colocalises with the GAGA and M1BP.

(Submitter supplied) Recognition of modified histones by “reader” proteins plays a critical role in the regulation of transcription1. H3K36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) is deposited onto the nucleosomes in the transcribed regions following RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation. In yeast, this mark in turn recruits epigenetic regulators to reset the chromatin at an appropriate state to suppress cryptic transcription2,3. However, much less is known about the role of H3K36me3 in transcription regulation in mammals. more...
