GSE113746 Brr6 Plays a Role in Gene Recruitment and Transcriptional Regulation at the Nuclear envelope

We provide evidence that Brr6 interacts with chromatin, helping to maintain normal chromatin architecture and transcriptional regulation of certain loci at the nuclear envelope. Specifically, our results showed that brr6-1 impairs PAB1 transcript levels and disrupts PAB1 and GAL1-10 locus positioning. In addition, RNAseq analysis revealed misregulation of both coding and non-coding transcription across the FUR4-GAL1,10,7 region as well as changes at numerous other genes. The discovery that brr6-1 is disomic for CHIII raised the possibility that some of these effects stemmed from increased copy number of CHIII genes. However, disomy was not present in wild type cells where the NLS-Brr6N fragment was expressed, therefore we were able to use the Brr6N fragment to link many of the brr6-1 effects at the PAB1 and FUR4-GAL1,10,7 loci to Brr6 function, including: 1) decreased PAB1 expression, 2) defective PAB1 locus positioning, and 3) misregulation across the FUR4-GAL1-10 region. Together with our ChIPseq results showing zinc finger-dependent association of the Brr6N ...
