Genome-wide analysis reveals a role for BRCA1 and PALB2 in transcriptional co-activation.
Specimen part, Disease, Cell line
View SamplesBreast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and PALB2 have enigmatic roles in cellular growth and mammalian development. While these genes are essential for growth during early developmental programs, inactivation later in adulthood leads to increased growth and formation of tumors, leading to their designation as tumor suppressors. We performed genome-wide analysis assessing their chromatin residence and gene expression responsiveness using high throughput sequencing in breast epithelial cells. These experiments revealed a critical role for BRCA1 and PALB2 in transcriptional responsiveness to NF-kB, a crucial mediator of growth and inflammatory response during development and cancer. Importantly, we also uncovered a vital role for these proteins in response to retinoic acid (RA), a growth inhibitory signal in breast cancer cells, which may constitute the basis for their tumor suppressor activity.

Requirement for SNAPC1 in transcriptional responsiveness to diverse extracellular signals.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesThe small nuclear RNA (snRNA)-activating protein complex (SNAPc) is a basal transcription factor that mediates the transcriptional activation of snRNAs. Here, we describe the genome-wide occupancy of the SNAPC1_and SNAPC4 subunits of SNAPc. While the SNAPC4 occupancy was in accord with the role for SNAPc in snRNA transcription, SNAPC1_displayed a broader genomic profile mirroring that of RNA polymerase II at highly active protein-coding genes. Our functional analysis revealed a role for SNAPC1_in regulation of both basal and activator-induced transcription of protein-coding genes. These studies expand the role for SNAPC1_beyond its regulation of snRNA transcription.

Integrator regulates transcriptional initiation and pause release following activation.
Disease, Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesWe investigated the genomic occupancy of INTS11, in normal condition and after stimulation of EGF. Total RNAPII was profiled in the presence or absence of INTS11, along with the Super Elongation Complex proteins AFF4 and ELL2. Additionally, we extensively examined the transcriptional response to EGF, before and after depletion of INTS11, using RNA-seq on ribosome-depleted total RNA and Global Run-on sequencing (GRO-seq).

Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesWe investigated the occupancy of RNA PolII and INTS11 during the stimulation of EGF and compared with drug treated condition using inhibitors against MAPK pathway and Integrator. Additionally, we examined transcription by sequencing the chromatin-bound fraction of RNA. Overall design: We employed several cel lines in our experiment, including HELA, KRAS mutant lung cancer cell line A549 and BRAF mutatant melanoma cell line A375. The conditons we checked including EGF stimulation, MAPK pathway inhibition using BRAF, MEK or ERK inhibitiors, targeting INTS11 with RNAi or integrator inhibitor. We used RNA sequencing to measure the expression profile and CHIP sequencing to detect INTS11 and RNA PolII recruitment on chromatin.

Polycomb repressive complex 2-dependent and -independent functions of Jarid2 in transcriptional regulation in Drosophila.
Specimen part
View SamplesJarid2 was recently identified as an important component of the mammalian Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), where it has a major effect on PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells. Although Jarid2 is conserved in Drosophila, it has not previously been implicated in Polycomb (Pc) regulation. Therefore, we purified Drosophila Jarid2 and its associated proteins and find that Jarid2 associates with all of the known canonical PRC2 components, demonstrating a conserved physical interaction with PRC2 in flies and mammals. Furthermore, in vivo studies with Jarid2 mutants in flies demonstrate that among several histone modifications tested, only H3K27 methylation, the mark implemented by PRC2, was affected. Genome-wide profiling of Jarid2, Su(z)12 and H3K27me3 occupancy by ChIP-seq indicates that Jarid2 and Su(z)12 have a very similar distribution pattern on chromatin. However, Jarid2 and Su(z)12 occupancy levels at some genes are significantly different with Jarid2 being present at relatively low levels at many Pc response elements (PREs) of certain Homeobox (Hox) genes, providing a rationale for why Jarid2 was never identified in Pc screens. Gene expression analyses show that Jarid2 and E(z) (a canonical PRC2 component) are required not only for transcriptional repression but might also function in active transcription. Identification of Jarid2 as a conserved PRC2 interactor in flies provides an opportunity to begin to probe some of its novel functions in Drosophila development.
