Elements at the 5' end of Xist harbor SPEN-independent transcriptional antiterminator activity.

Abstract:

:The Xist lncRNA requires Repeat A, a conserved RNA element located in its 5' end, to induce gene silencing during X-chromosome inactivation. Intriguingly, Repeat A is also required for production of Xist. While silencing by Repeat A requires the protein SPEN, how Repeat A promotes Xist production remains unclear. We report that in mouse embryonic stem cells, expression of a transgene comprising the first two kilobases of Xist (Xist-2kb) causes transcriptional readthrough of downstream polyadenylation sequences. Readthrough required Repeat A and the ∼750 nucleotides downstream, did not require SPEN, and was attenuated by splicing. Despite associating with SPEN and chromatin, Xist-2kb did not robustly silence transcription, whereas a 5.5-kb Xist transgene robustly silenced transcription and read through its polyadenylation sequence. Longer, spliced Xist transgenes also induced robust silencing yet terminated efficiently. Thus, in contexts examined here, Xist requires sequence elements beyond its first two kilobases to robustly silence transcription, and the 5' end of Xist harbors SPEN-independent transcriptional antiterminator activity that can repress proximal cleavage and polyadenylation. In endogenous contexts, this antiterminator activity may help produce full-length Xist RNA while rendering the Xist locus resistant to silencing by the same repressive complexes that the lncRNA recruits to other genes.
