FPA associates with proteins that function to process the 3′ ends of Pol II-transcribed RNAs and promote transcription termination.

(A–D) Volcano plots representing proteins co-purifying with FPA using IVI-MS. Only proteins detected in all three biological replicates of the 35S::FPA:YFP line are shown (light grey). The following classes are highlighted: (A) CPFs in dark blue; (B) Pol II-associated factors in green; terminal exon definition factors in dark orange; (C) autonomous pathway components in yellow and factors controlling alternative polyadenylation in light orange; and (D) m6A writer complex components in light blue. (E) ChIP-Seq metagene profile showing the normalised occupancy of FPA (green) and Pol II phosphorylated at Ser5 (pink) and Ser2 (brown) of the CTD (Yu et al., 2019) relative to the major 3′ position of each gene, as measured using Helicos DRS. Only long genes (>2.5 kb) are included (n = 10,215).

FPA controls Pol II occupancy and chimeric RNA formation at PIF5.

ChIP-Seq occupancy in counts per million (CPM) of FPA and Pol II phosphorylated at Ser5 or Ser2 at the PIF5 and PAO3 loci. fpa mutants display readthrough of the canonical PIF5 poly(A) site, with a concomitant loss of Ser2 at the poly(A) site, and an increase in Ser5 in downstream PAO3.

Figure 2 with 4 supplements
FPA-dependent poly(A) site selection.

Loss of FPA function is associated with the preferential selection of distal poly(A) sites, whereas FPA overexpression leads to the preferential selection of proximal poly(A) sites. (A) Illumina RNA-Seq, Helicos DRS and Nanopore DRS reveal FPA-dependent RNA 3′ end processing changes at the FPA (AT2G43410) locus. The 35S::FPA:YFP construct has alternative transgene-derived untranslated regions, so mRNAs derived from the transgene do not align to the native FPA 5′UTR and 3′UTR. (B) Histograms showing change in mean RNA 3′ end position for significantly alternatively polyadenylated loci (EMD >25, FDR < 0.05) in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel) compared with Col-0, as detected using Nanopore DRS. Orange and green shaded regions indicate sites with negative and positive RNA 3′ end position changes, respectively. (C) Effect size of significant proximal (orange) and distal (green) alternative polyadenylation events in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel) compared with Col-0, as measured using the EMD. (D) Histograms showing change in mean RNA 3′ end position for significantly alternatively polyadenylated loci (EMD >25, FDR < 0.05) in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel) compared with Col-0, as detected using Nanopore DRS. Orange and green shaded regions indicate sites with negative and positive RNA 3′ end position changes, respectively. (E) Effect size of significant proximal (orange) and distal (green) alternative polyadenylation events in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel) compared with Col-0, as measured using the EMD. (F) Boxplots showing the effect size (absolute log2 fold change (logFC)) of alternatively processed loci identified using Illumina RNA-Seq in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel) respectively. Down- and upregulated loci are shown in orange and green, respectively. For each locus, the region with the largest logFC was selected to represent the locus. Loci with both up- and downregulated regions contribute to both boxes. (G) Boxplots showing the effect size (absolute logFC) of loci with alternative splice junction usage identified using Illumina RNA-Seq in fpa-8 (left panel) and 35S::FPA:YFP (right panel), respectively. Down- and upregulated loci are shown in orange and green, respectively. For each locus, the junction with the largest logFC was selected to represent the locus. Loci with both up- and downregulated junctions contribute to both boxes.

FPA controls (A) readthrough and chimeric RNA formation at AT1G58848 (unique mapping of short Helicos DRS reads was not possible due to the high homology of AT1G58848 to tandemly duplicated NLR loci in the same cluster); (B) intronic polyadenylation at AT1G69550, resulting in transcripts encoding a protein with a truncated LRR domain; (C) exonic polyadenylation at AT2G14080, resulting in stop-codonless transcripts; and (D) exonic polyadenylation at AT5G40060, resulting in transcripts encoding a TIR-domain-only protein due to an upstream ORF.
