(Submitter supplied) The histone chaperone Spt6 is involved in promoting elongation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), maintaining chromatin structure, regulating co-transcriptional histone modifications, and controlling mRNA processing. These diverse functions of Spt6 are partly mediated through its interactions with RNAPII and other factors in the transcription elongation complex. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to characterize the differences in RNAPII interacting factors between wild-type cells and those depleted for Spt6, leading to the identification of proteins that depend on Spt6 for their interaction with RNAPII. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spt6 is an essential histone chaperone that mediates nucleosome reassembly during gene transcription. Spt6 interacts with elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) via a tandem Src2 homology (tSH2) domain, but it is not known whether this particular interaction is required for the nucleosome reassembly activity of Spt6. Here, we show that Spt6 recruitment to genes and its nucleosome reassembly functions are largely independent of association with RNAPII. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spt6 is a conserved factor that controls transcription and chromatin structure across the genome. Although viewed as an elongation factor, spt6 mutations allow transcription from within coding regions, suggesting that Spt6 also controls initiation. To comprehensively characterize the requirement for Spt6 in transcription, we have used four approaches: TSS-seq and TFIIB ChIP-nexus to assay transcription initiation, NET-seq to assay elongating RNAPII, and MNase-seq to assay nucleosome occupancy and positioning. more...

(Submitter supplied) Histone chaperones are an important class of factors that regulate chromatin accessibility for DNA-templated processes. Spt6 is a conserved histone chaperone and key regulator of transcription and chromatin structure. However, its functions outside of these roles have been little explored. In this work, we demonstrate a role for Spt6 in DNA replication and more broadly as a regulator of genome stability. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spt6 is a multifunctional histone chaperone involved in the maintenance of chromatin structure during elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Spt6 has a tandem SH2 (tSH2) domain within its C-terminus that recognizes Pol II CTD peptides phosphorylated on Ser2, Ser5 or Try1 in vitro. Deleting the tSH2 domain, however, only has a partial effect on Spt6 occupancy in vivo, suggesting that more complex mechanisms are involved in the Spt6 recruitment. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spt6 is a histone chaperone that associates with RNA polymerase II and deposits nucleosomes in the wake of transcription. Although Spt6 has an essential function in nucleosome deposition, it is not known whether this function is regulated by post-translational modification. Here, we report that casein kinase II (CKII) phosphorylation of Spt6 directs nucleosome reassembly at the 5’ ends of a broad range of genes to prevent aberrant antisense transcription and enforce transcriptional directionality. more...

(Submitter supplied) The FACT complex and Spt6 are conserved histone chaperones that are recruited to the open reading frames of transcribed genes. In this study, we provide evidence that FACT interaction with acetylated H3 tail is important for its localization to the coding sequences. Pol II CTD kinase Kin28 additionally stimulates FACT recruitment to a subset of genes. Pol II occupancies in the 5’ ends of transcribed genes are greatly reduced on depleting FACT, whereas reduced occupancies at the 3’ ends were observed upon Spt6 depletion indicating that these factors modulate Pol II progression through distinct regions of transcribed coding sequences. more...

(Submitter supplied) CK2 is an essential protein kinase implicated in various cellular processes. In this study, we address a potential role of this kinase in chromatin modulations associated with transcription. We found that CK2 depletion from yeast cells leads to replication-independent increase of histone H3K56 acetylation and global activation of H3 turnover in coding regions. This suggests a positive role of CK2 in maintenance/recycling of the histone H3/H4 tetramers during transcription. more...
