Title DSIF factor Spt5 coordinates transcription, maturation and exoribonucleolysis of RNA polymerase II transcripts.
Organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Experiment type Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary RNA polymerase II (Pol II) termination is a crucial step in the transcriptional cycle, ensuring the recycling of Pol II and preventing interference with neighbouring gene transcription. Xrn2 is an enzyme with 5'-3'- exonuclease activity, responsible for degrading RNA that is still being transcribed by Pol II after cleavage at the poly(A) site, ultimately leading to Pol II termination. We have confirmed that Xrn2's catalytic activity is essential for timely transcription termination. Furthermore, we have discovered a link between Xrn2 and the conserved, multifunctional transcription factor Spt5. Importantly, our research demonstrates that Xrn2 interacts with Pol II/Spt5 complexes. Additionally, when Spt5 is depleted, it not only impairs global transcription but also results in defective transcription termination. On the other hand, absence of Spt5 leads to the derepression of non-coding transcription and premature termination/attenuation at the 5'-end of coding genes. We propose that Spt5 acts as a "licensing" factor, ensuring that Pol II complexes are properly assembled for efficient transcription and co-transcriptional pre-mRNA processing.
 
Overall design Xrn2 and Pol II occupancy were evaluated in a strain with Spt5 depleted using auxin and compared to DMSO-treated cells, with library depth normalization. The chromatin association of Xrn2, or its mutant missing the region between amino acids 444-555, was assessed in DMSO-treated cells using spike-in normalization. The experimental technique used was ChIP-seq
