(Submitter supplied) Control of transcription speed, which influences many co-transcriptional processes, is poorly understood. We report that PNUTS-PP1 phosphatase is a negative regulator of RNA pol II elongation rate. The PNUTS W401A mutation, which disrupts PP1 binding, causes genome-wide acceleration of transcription associated with hyper-phosphorylation of the Spt5 elongation factor. Immediately downstream of poly(A) sites, pol II decelerates from >2kb/min to <1 kb/min, which correlates with Spt5 dephosphorylation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The end of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription cycle is strictly regulated to ensure proper mRNA maturation and prevent interference between neighboring genes. Pol II slowing downstream of the cleavage and polyadenylation signal (CPS) leads to recruitment of cleavage and polyadenylation factors and termination, but how this chain of events is initiated remains unclear. In a chemical-genetic screen we identified protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) isoforms as substrates of human positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), the cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9)-cyclin T1 complex. more...

(Submitter supplied) Base J is a modified DNA base that is enriched at RNA polymerase II termination sites and telomeres. We previously found that base J functions to prevent readthrough transcription within gene clusters in T. brucei. We now identify a complex in Leishmania and T. brucei composed of PNUTS, PP1, Wdr82 and a J-binding protein (JBP3). We show the RNAi ablation of PNUTS in T. brucei leads to readthrough transcription and expression of downstream genes.

(Submitter supplied) At the end of protein-coding genes, RNA polymerase (Pol) II undergoes a concerted transition that involves 3’-processing of the pre-mRNA and transcription termination. Here we conduct a genome-wide analysis of this 3’-transition in yeast. We find that the 3’-transition globally requires the Pol II elongation factor Spt5 and factors involved in the recognition of the poly-adenylation (pA) site and in endonucleolytic RNA cleavage. more...

(Submitter supplied) Termination of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is a key step, that is important for 3’end formation of functional mRNA, mRNA release and Pol II recycling. Even so, this underlying termination mechanism is not yet understood. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved and essential termination factor Seb1 interacts with Pol II near the end of the RNA exit channel and the Rpb4/7 stalk. Furthermore, the Seb1 interaction surface with Pol II largely overlaps with that of the elongation factor Spt5. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription termination pathways mitigate the detrimental consequences of unscheduled promiscuous initiation occurring at hundreds of thousands of genomic cis-regulatory elements, thus representing cornerstones of genomic regulation in eukaryotes. Restrictor, a complex conserved from worms to humans and composed of the RNA-binding protein ZC3H4 and of WDR82, a Pol II-carboxyterminal repeat domain (CTD)-interacting protein, is required to suppress long-range, processive transcription at thousands of extragenic sites, with instead comparatively limited effects on gene transcription. more...

(Submitter supplied) We report a function of human mRNA decapping factors in control of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Decapping proteins Edc3, Dcp1a and Dcp2 and the termination factor TTF2 co-immunoprecipitate with Xrn2, the nuclear 5'-3' exonuclease torpedo that facilitates transcription termination at the 3' ends of genes. Dcp1a, Xrn2 and TTF2 localize near transcription start sites (TSSs) by ChIP-Seq. At genes with 5' peaks of paused pol II, knockdown of decapping or termination factors, Xrn2 and TTF2, shifted polymerase away from the TSS toward upstream and downstream distal positions. more...

(Submitter supplied) The so-called allosteric and torpedo models have been used for the past thirty years to explain how transcription terminates on protein-coding genes. The former invokes conformational changes in the transcription complex and the latter involves degradation of the downstream product of poly(A) signal (PAS) processing. Here, we describe a single mechanism incorporating features of both models. We show that CPSF73 is indispensable for transcriptional termination on protein-coding and its loss causes profound read-through genome-wide. more...

(Submitter supplied) Termination is a ubiquitous phase in every transcription cycle but is incompletely understood and a subject of debate. We have used gene editing as a new approach to address its mechanism through engineered conditional depletion of the 5’-3’ exonuclease, Xrn2, or the polyadenylation signal (PAS) endonuclease, CPSF73. The ability to rapidly control Xrn2 reveals a clear and general role for it in co-transcriptional degradation of 3’ flanking region RNA and transcriptional termination. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Pol II transcription cycle is ordered by CDKs and phosphatases. In fission yeast, Cdk9 phosphorylates carboxy-terminal repeats (CTRs) of Spt5 while inhibiting PP1 during elongation. Transcription past the cleavage and polyadenylation signal (CPS) coincides with PP1-dependent Spt5 dephosphorylation and leads to Pol II pausing with phosphorylated CTD-Ser2 (pSer2). Here we show this switch is conserved in humans: Cdk9 inhibition decreases phosphorylation of both PP1g and Spt5-Thr806 (pThr806), and induces pSer2 upstream of the CPS, whereas PP1 depletion increases pThr806. more...
