Cell-Cycle Modulation of Transcription Termination Factor Sen1.

Molecular cell | 2018

Many non-coding transcripts (ncRNA) generated by RNA polymerase II in S. cerevisiae are terminated by the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 complex. However, Sen1 helicase levels are surprisingly low compared with Nrd1 and Nab3, raising questions regarding how ncRNA can be terminated in an efficient and timely manner. We show that Sen1 levels increase during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, leading to increased termination activity of NNS. Overexpression of Sen1 or failure to modulate its abundance by ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation greatly decreases cell fitness. Sen1 toxicity is suppressed by mutations in other termination factors, and NET-seq analysis shows that its overexpression leads to a decrease in ncRNA production and altered mRNA termination. We conclude that Sen1 levels are carefully regulated to prevent aberrant termination. We suggest that ncRNA levels and coding gene transcription termination are modulated by Sen1 to fulfill critical cell cycle-specific functions.

PRINSEQ (tool)

RRID:SCR_005454

A publicly available tool that is able to filter, reformat and trim your genomic and metagenomic sequence data and provide you summary statistics for your sequence data. The interactive web interface facilitates visualizations of the results and export functionality for subsequent data processing. The standalone lite version is written in Perl and does not require any non-core Perl modules. The lite version is primarily designed for data preprocessing and does not generate summary statistics in graphical form.
