Abstract
One of the first steps in ribosome biogenesis is transcription of the ribosomal DNA by RNA polymerase I (Pol I). Processing of the resultant rRNA begins cotranscriptionally, and perturbation of Pol I transcription elongation results in defective rRNA processing. Mechanistic insight regarding the link between transcription elongation and ribosome assembly is lacking because of limited in vivo methods to assay Pol I transcription. Here, we use native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-Seq) with a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing a point mutation in Pol I, rpa190-F1205H, which results in impaired rRNA processing and ribosome assembly. We previously demonstrated that this mutation caused a mild reduction in the transcription elongation rate of Pol I in vitro; however, transcription elongation by the mutant has not been characterized in vivo. Here, our findings demonstrate that the mutant Pol I has an increased pause propensity during processive transcription elongation both in vitro and in vivo. NET-Seq reveals that rpa190-F1205H Pol I displays alternative pause site preferences in vivo. Specifically, the mutant is sensitized to A/G residues in the RNA:DNA hybrid and at the last incorporated nucleotide position. Furthermore, both NET-Seq and EM analysis of Miller chromatin spreads reveal pileups of rpa190-F1205H Pol I throughout the ribosomal DNA, particularly at the 5′ end of the 35S gene. This combination of in vitro and in vivo analyses of a Pol I mutant provides novel insights into Pol I elongation properties and indicates how these properties are crucial for efficient cotranscriptional rRNA processing and ribosome assembly.

This combination of in vitro and in vivo analyses of a Pol I mutant provides novel insights into Pol I elongation properties and indicates how these properties are crucial for efficient cotranscriptional rRNA processing and ribosome assembly. Ribosome biogenesis requires the intricate coordination of multiple biochemical processes. The first step is transcription by RNA polymerase I (Pol I), which synthesizes rRNA from a ribosomal DNA (rDNA) template. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), Pol I transcribes a single rDNA gene, the 35S, which is organized in approximately 200 tandem repeats. Processing of the rRNA transcripts is complex and requires hundreds of transacting factors and RNAs, ultimately giving rise to the three largest mature rRNAs that serve as the backbone of the ribosome. The earliest studies on rRNA processing suggested that it could only occur post-transcriptionally, and this was supported by the detection of full-length rRNA products in the cell (1Udem S.A.

Processing of pre-ribosomal RNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Yeast. 1995; 11: 1629-1650Crossref PubMed Scopus (189) Google Scholar). However, over the past 2 decades, it was shown that rRNA processing begins cotranscriptionally. The first evidence of cotranscriptional rRNA processing was from Miller chromatin spreads, which allow for the visualization of engaged Pol I transcription elongation complexes with a DNA template in vivo. from that demonstrated that transcripts Pol I was with the rDNA Miller The of rRNA transcription in chromatin spreads are rRNA processing PubMed Scopus Google Scholar, ribosomal RNA is into the to from transcripts in Saccharomyces PubMed Scopus Google Scholar).
