Title Transcription levels of a long noncoding RNA shape a cell fate regulatory circuit (TES-seq)
Organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Experiment type Other
Summary Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) play diverse roles in gene regulation controlling key cellular processes, most notably, cell-fate programming {Anderson, 2016 #20;Flynn, 2014 #16;Guttman, 2011 #35;Wang, 2011 #18}. Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act in cis through transcription-coupled chromatin alterations that drive changes in local gene expression { Martens, 2004 #47; Kim, 2012 #74;van Werven, 2012 #57;Hainer, 2011 #73;Kim, 2016 #41;Ard, 2016 #21;Latos, 2012 #7}. How transcription of some lncRNAs leads to activation of gene expression, while others inhibit and repress gene expression remains poorly understood {Kornienko, 2013 #17}. Here we investigated in S. cerevisiae the function of the lncRNA IRT2, which is expressed upstream in the promoter of the master regulator for entry into meiosis, IME1. We report the surprising finding that distinct levels of IRT2 transcription regulates opposing chromatin and transcription states in order to ensure that only diploids, and not haploids, enter meiosis and form gametes. In haploid cells, IRT2 transcription at very low levels is required for the correct induction of the adjacent lncRNA IRT1, which in turn represses the IME1 promoter and prevents meiotic entry {van Werven, 2012 #57}. Low levels of IRT2 transcription stimulates histone exchange delivering acetylated histone H3 lysine 56 (H3K56ac) to chromatin, thereby facilitating chromatin disassembly and recruitment of the transcriptional activator of IRT1, Rme1. Inhibiting IRT2 transcription, or mutations that resulted in cells lacking H3K56ac impairs Rme1 recruitment and IRT1 induction, and consequently haploid cells induce IME1 and undergo a lethal meiosis. In contrast to its function at low levels, increasing IRT2 transcription enhances transcription-coupled chromatin assembly and interferes with IRT1 expression, promoting IME1 expression and meiotic entry in diploid cells {Moretto, 2018 #10}. Thus, transcription of lncRNAs, even at very low levels, can play an important role in regulating gene expression, and changes in lncRNA transcription levels can confer distinct regulatory and cell fate outcomes.
 
Overall design 3’ end RNA sequencing analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 strains. The SPO (low nutrient) condition correspond to strains grown in YPD to saturation, then shifted to pre-sporulation media for 16h before being transfered to sporulation media. the u6bsD mutant harbours a clean deletion (no marker) of the Ume6 binding site present 2306 bp upstream IME1 ATG. Two biological replicates of each condition were analysed. Details for library preparation are described below.
