Abstract

The transcriptional interplay of human RNA polymerase I (RNA Pol I), RNA Pol II, and RNA Pol III remains largely uncharacterized due to limited integrative genomic analyses for all three enzymes. To address this gap, we applied a uniform framework to quantify global RNA Pol I, RNA Pol II, and RNA Pol III occupancies and identify both canonical and noncanonical patterns of gene localization. Most notably, our survey captures unexpected RNA Pol III recruitment at promoters of specific protein-coding genes. We show that such RNA Pol III-occupied promoters are enriched for small nascent RNAs terminating in a run of 4 Ts-a hallmark of RNA Pol III termination indicative of constrained RNA Pol III transcription. Taken further, RNA Pol III disruption generally reduces the expression of RNA Pol III-occupied protein-coding genes, suggesting RNA Pol III recruitment and transcription enhance RNA Pol II activity. These findings resemble analogous patterns of RNA Pol II activity at RNA Pol III-transcribed genes, altogether uncovering a reciprocal form of crosstalk between RNA Pol II and RNA Pol III.

摘要

由于对三种酶的综合基因组分析有限,人类 RNA 聚合酶 I(RNA Pol I)、RNA 聚合酶 II 和 RNA 聚合酶 III 的转录相互作用在很大程度上仍未被描述。为了解决这一差距,我们应用了一个统一的框架来定量测量全局 RNA Pol I、RNA Pol II 和 RNA Pol III 的占有率,并确定基因定位的规范和非规范模式。最值得注意的是,我们的调查在特定蛋白质编码基因的启动子上捕获了意想不到的 RNA Pol III 募集。我们表明,这种 RNA Pol III 占据的启动子富含以 4 个 Ts 结尾的小新生 RNA-这是 RNA Pol III 终止的标志,表明 RNA Pol III 转录受到限制。更进一步,RNA Pol III 的破坏通常会降低 RNA Pol III 占据的蛋白质编码基因的表达,这表明 RNA Pol III 的募集和转录增强了 RNA Pol II 的活性。这些发现类似于 RNA Pol III 转录基因中 RNA Pol II 活性的类似模式,共同揭示了 RNA Pol II 和 RNA Pol III 之间的一种互惠形式的串扰。
