Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Stacked bar plot showing the kinases (left) and phosphatases (right) identified in RNAPII ChIP-MS, CRISPR screening and RNAPII mut ChIP-MS. ( B ) Pie plots showing the family of kinases identified in CRISPR screening. ( C ) Heatmap showing the NormZ of CRISPR screening for CLK1, CLK4, and YES1. ( D ) Western blot analyses of the RNAPII, pY1, pS2, pT4, pS5, and pS7 in CLK1, CLK4, or YES1 KO cells. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) served as the loading control. ( E ) Metagene profiles and boxplots (top) and log 2 (fold change) metagene heatmaps (bottom) showing pS7 and RNAPII ChIP-seq density in control, CLK1 KO, and CLK4 KO cells, as well as in untreated and TG003-treated (20 μM, 4 hours) cells (top). Statistical significance was assessed by a two-sided Wilcoxon test. *** P < 0.001. The value on the box plot indicating the fold change. ( F ) Similar to (E), but for pY1 and RNAPII ChIP-seq in control and YES1 KO cells, as well as in untreated and CHR6953755-treated (10 μM, 24 hours) cells. ( G ) Schematic workflow of in vitro phosphorylation assay. ( H ) In vitro phosphorylation activity of CLK1 (left), CLK4 (middle), and YES1 (right) on CTD. The CTD was detected using HA tag, and CLK1, CLK4, and YES1 were detected using Flag tag. ( I ) Pie chart (top) and metagene heatmap (bottom) showing the distribution of the top 500 CLK1 (left) CLK4 (middle) and YES1 (right) ChIP-seq binding sites and their densities. ( J ) Bar plot showing the gene ontology enrichment result of CLK1 (top), CLK4 (middle) and YES1 (bottom) binding genes. ( K ) Tracks of ING5 of CLK1 (left), DLX2 of CLK4 (middle), and IMPACT of YES1 (right) ChIP-seq signals and the changes of pS7 or pY1 and RNAPII after their knockout. miRNA, microRNA; snoRNA, small nucleolar RNA. TES, transcription end site.
