The relationship between gene transcription and chromatin organization is an area of active study. Due to its role in mRNA synthesis, many studies have focused on the regulaton of RNA polymerase II (Pol-II) function by supranucleosomal structure and vice-versa. In contrast, there is little work on the function of RNA polymerase I (Pol-I) in non-nucleolar chromatin. Prior work has shown that Pol-I engages with components of Pol-II on rDNA, but its role in global transcription and chromatin structure beyond the nucleolus has largely been ignored. By pairing auxin-inducible degron technology with nanoscopic imaging, RNA-Seq, and Hi-C, we found that Pol-I and Pol-II co-regulate conformationally defined chromatin domains and mRNA synthesis. Mechanistically, Pol-I maintains the positioning of intronic and intergenic chromatin within domains for the proper expression of exon elements. Consequently, Pol-I loss disrupts genome connectivity, in situ chromatin domains, and the expression of mRNA, genome-wide.
