Distinctive interactomes of RNA polymerase II phosphorylation during different stages of transcription
Summary: During eukaryotic transcription, RNA polymerase II undergoes dynamic post-translational modifications on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit, generating an information-rich PTM landscape that transcriptional regulators bind. The phosphorylation of Ser5 and Ser2 of CTD heptad occurs spatiotemporally with the transcriptional stages, recruiting different transcriptional regulators to Pol II. To delineate the protein interactomes at different transcriptional stages, we reconstructed phosphorylation patterns of the CTD at Ser5 and Ser2 in vitro. Our results showed that distinct protein interactomes are recruited to RNA polymerase II at different stages of transcription by the phosphorylation of Ser2 and Ser5 of the CTD heptads. In particular, we characterized calcium homeostasis endoplasmic reticulum protein (CHERP) as a regulator bound by phospho-Ser2 heptad. Pol II association with CHERP recruits an accessory splicing complex whose loss results in broad changes in alternative splicing events. Our results shed light on the PTM-coded recruitment process that coordinates transcription
