RESUMO

Transcription factors (TFs) play critical roles in hematopoiesis, and their aberrant expression can lead to various types of leukemia. The t(8;21) leukemogenic fusion protein AML1-ETO (AE) is the most common fusion protein in acute myeloid leukemia and can enhance hematopoietic stem cell renewal while blocking differentiation. A key question in understanding AE-mediated leukemia is what determines the choice of AE to activate self-renewal genes or repress differentiation genes. Toward the resolution of this problem, we earlier showed that AE resides in the stable AETFC complex and that its components colocalize on up- or down-regulated target genes and are essential for leukemogenesis. In the current study, using biochemical and genomic approaches, we show that AE-containing complexes are heterogeneous, and that assembly of the larger AETFC (containing AE, CBFß, HEB, E2A, LYL1, LMO2, and LDB1) requires LYL1. Furthermore, we provide strong evidence that the LYL1-containing AETFC preferentially binds to active enhancers and promotes AE-dependent gene activation. Moreover, we show that coactivator CARM1 interacts with AETFC and facilitates gene activation by AETFC. Collectively, this study describes a role of oncoprotein LYL1 in AETFC assembly and gene activation by recruiting CARM1 to chromatin for AML cell survival.

RESUMO

DOT1L, the only H3K79 methyltransferase in human cells and a homolog of the yeast Dot1, normally forms a complex with AF10, AF17, and ENL or AF9, is dysregulated in most cases of mixed-lineage leukemia (MLLr), and has been believed to regulate transcriptional elongation on the basis of its colocalization with RNA polymerase II (Pol II), the sharing of subunits (AF9 and ENL) between the DOT1L and super elongation complexes, and the distribution of H3K79 methylation on both promoters and transcribed regions of active genes. Here we show that DOT1L depletion in erythroleukemic cells reduces its global occupancy without affecting the traveling ratio or the elongation rate (assessed by 4sUDRB-seq) of Pol II, suggesting that DOT1L does not play a major role in elongation in these cells. In contrast, analyses of transcription initiation factor binding reveal that DOT1L and ENL depletions each result in reduced TATA binding protein (TBP) occupancies on thousands of genes. More importantly, DOT1L and ENL depletions concomitantly reduce TBP and Pol II occupancies on a significant fraction of direct (DOT1L-bound) target genes, indicating a role for the DOT1L complex in transcription initiation. Mechanistically, proteomic and biochemical studies suggest that the DOT1L complex may regulate transcriptional initiation by facilitating the recruitment or stabilization of transcription factor IID, likely in a monoubiquitinated H2B (H2Bub1)-enhanced manner. Additional studies show that DOT1L enhances H2Bub1 levels by limiting recruitment of the Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex. These results advance our understanding of roles of the DOT1L complex in transcriptional regulation and have important implications for MLLr leukemias.

RESUMO

We previously showed that mRNA 3' end cleavage reaction in cell extracts is strongly but transiently inhibited under DNA-damaging conditions. The cleavage stimulation factor-50 (CstF-50) has a role in this response, providing a link between transcription-coupled RNA processing and DNA repair. In this study, we show that CstF-50 interacts with nuclear poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) using in vitro and in extracts of UV-exposed cells. The CstF-50/PARN complex formation has a role in the inhibition of 3' cleavage and activation of deadenylation upon DNA damage. Extending these results, we found that the tumour suppressor BARD1, which is involved in the UV-induced inhibition of 3' cleavage, strongly activates deadenylation by PARN in the presence of CstF-50, and that CstF-50/BARD1 can revert the cap-binding protein-80 (CBP80)-mediated inhibition of PARN activity. We also provide evidence that PARN along with the CstF/BARD1 complex participates in the regulation of endogenous transcripts under DNA-damaging conditions. We speculate that the interplay between polyadenylation, deadenylation and tumour-suppressor factors might prevent the expression of prematurely terminated messengers, contributing to control of gene expression under different cellular conditions.

RESUMO

Following DNA damage, mRNA levels decrease, reflecting a coordinated interaction of the DNA repair, transcription and RNA processing machineries. In this study, we provide evidence that transcription and polyadenylation of mRNA precursors are both affected in vivo by UV treatment. We next show that the polyadenylation factor CstF, plays a direct role in the DNA damage response. Cells with reduced levels of CstF display decreased viability following UV treatment, reduced ability to ubiquitinate RNA polymerase II (RNAP II), and defects in repair of DNA damage. Furthermore, we show that CstF, RNAP II and BARD1 are all found at sites of repaired DNA. Our results indicate that CstF plays an active role in the response to DNA damage, providing a link between transcription-coupled RNA processing and DNA repair.

RESUMO

The evolutionarily conserved Mediator complex is a critical coactivator for RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-mediated transcription. Here we report the reconstitution of a functional 15-subunit human core Mediator complex and its characterization by functional assays and chemical cross-linking coupled to MS (CX-MS). Whereas the reconstituted head and middle modules can stably associate, basal and coactivator functions are acquired only after incorporation of MED14 into the bimodular complex. This results from a dramatically enhanced ability of MED14-containing complexes to associate with Pol II. Altogether, our analyses identify MED14 as both an architectural and a functional backbone of the Mediator complex. We further establish a conditional requirement for metazoan-specific MED26 that becomes evident in the presence of heterologous nuclear factors. This general approach paves the way for systematic dissection of the multiple layers of functionality associated with the Mediator complex.

RESUMO

The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) involves changes in the functional and structural properties of a number of nuclear proteins, resulting in a coordinated control of gene expression and DNA repair. This response includes functional interactions of the DNA repair, transcription, and RNA processing machineries. Following DNA damage, cellular levels of polyadenylated transcripts are transiently decreased and normal recovery depends on transcription-coupled repair (TCR). In addition, DNA damage has gene-specific effects regulating the mRNA levels of factors involved in the DDR itself at different times after the damage. The 3'-end processing machinery, which is important in the regulation of mRNA stability, is involved in these general and gene-specific responses to DNA damage. The role of 3'-end processing in DDR supports the idea that the steady-state levels of different mRNAs change upon DNA-damaging conditions as a result of regulation of not only their biosynthesis but also their turnover. Here, we review the mechanistic connections between 3'-end processing and DDR, and discuss the implications of deregulation of this important step of mRNA maturation in the cellular recovery after DNA-damaging treatment. The relevance of these functional connections is illustrated by the increasing number of reports on this relatively unexplored field.
