(Submitter supplied) In vitro studies identified various factors including P-TEFb, SEC, SPT6, PAF1, DSIF, and NELF functioning at different stages of transcription elongation driven by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). What remains unclear is how these factors cooperatively regulate pause/release and productive elongation in the context of living cells. Using an acute protein-depletion approach, we report that SPT6 depletion results in release of paused RNA Pol II. more...

(Submitter supplied) RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is generally paused at promoter-proximal regions in most metazoans, and based on in vitro studies, this function has been attributed to the negative elongation factor (NELF). Here, we show that upon rapid depletion of NELF, Pol II fails to be released into gene bodies, stopping instead around the +1 nucleosomal dyad-associated region. The transition to the 2nd pause region is independent of positive transcription elongation factor P-TEFb. more...

(Submitter supplied) To test whether Brd4 and SEC co-regulate the release of promoter-proximally paused Pol II, we performed Pol II ChIP-Seq to analyze the effect of depletion of Brd4 or SEC on HMBA-induced pause release in HCT116 cells.

(Submitter supplied) The polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (PAF1C) is a key, post-initiation transcriptional regulator of both promoter-proximal pausing and productive elongation catalyzed by RNA Pol II and is also involved in transcriptional repression of viral gene expression during human immunodeficiency virus–1 (HIV-1) latency. Using a molecular docking–based compound screen in silico and global sequencing–based candidate evaluation in vivo, we identified a first-in-class, small-molecule inhibitor of PAF1C (iPAF1C) that disrupts PAF1 chromatin occupancy and induces global release of promoter-proximal paused RNA Pol II into gene bodies. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Paf1 complex (Paf1C) is a conserved transcription elongation factor that regulates transcription elongation efficiency, facilitates co-transcriptional histone modifications, and impacts molecular processes linked to RNA synthesis, such as polyA site selection. Coupling of the activities of Paf1C to transcription elongation requires its association with RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Mutational studies in yeast identified Paf1C subunits Cdc73 and Rtf1 as important mediators of Paf1C association with Pol II on active genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Elongation factor Paf1C regulates several stages of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription cycle, although it is unclear how it modulates Pol II distribution and progression in mammalian cells. We found that conditional ablation of Paf1 resulted in the accumulation of unphosphorylated and Ser5 phosphorylated Pol II around promoter proximal regions and within the first 20-30 kb of gene bodies, respectively. more...

(Submitter supplied) We have previously shown that the RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-DSIF complex associates with the PAF1 complex (PAF), RTF1 and SPT6 to form an activated elongation complex in vitro. Here we investigate the mechanisms that these factors use to stimulate Pol II elongation in vivo. We combine rapid factor depletion from human cells with genome-wide analyses of changes in RNA synthesis and occupancy with engaged Pol II. more...

(Submitter supplied) Release of promoter-proximal paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) during early elongation is a critical step in transcriptional regulation in metazoan cells. Paused Pol II release is thought to require the kinase activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) for the phosphorylation of DRB sensitivity-inducing factor, negative elongation factor, and C-terminal domain (CTD) serine-2 of Pol II. We found that Pol II-associated factor 1 (PAF1) is a critical regulator of paused Pol II release, that positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) directly regulates the initial recruitment of PAF1 complex (PAF1C) to genes, and that the subsequent recruitment of CDK12 is dependent on PAF1C. 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...

(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) Many factors control the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a process that plays an essential role in regulating gene expression. We utilized cells expressing degradation tagged subunits of NELFB, PAF1 and RTF1 to probe the effects of depletion of the factors on nascent transcripts using PRO-Seq and on chromatin architecture using DFF-ChIP. Although NELF is involved in promoter proximal pausing, depletion of NELFB had only a minimal effect on the level of paused transcripts and almost no effect on control of productive elongation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The pause-release model of transcription proposes that pol II pauses 40-100 bases from the start site resulting in a pile-up that is relieved by subsequent release into productive elongation. Pause release is facilitated by PTEFb phosphorylation of the pol II elongation factor, Spt5. We mapped paused polymerases by eNETseq and found frequent pausing in zones that extend ~0.3-3kb into genes, even when PTEFb is inhibited. 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...
