Biomolecular condensates are self-organized membraneless bodies involved in many critical cellular activities, including ribosome biogenesis, protein synthesis, and gene transcription. Aliphatic alcohols are commonly used to study biomolecular condensates, but their effects on transcription are unclear. Here, we explore the impact of the aliphatic dialcohol, 1,6-hexanediol (1,6-HD), on Pol II transcription and nucleosome occupancy in budding yeast. As expected, 1,6-HD, a reagent effective in disrupting biomolecular condensates, strongly suppressed the thermal stress–induced transcription of Heat Shock Factor 1–regulated genes that have previously been shown to physically interact and coalesce into intranuclear condensates. Surprisingly, the isomeric dialcohol, 2,5-HD, typically used as a negative control, abrogated Heat Shock Factor 1–target gene transcription under the same conditions. Each reagent also abolished the transcription of genes that do not detectably coalesce, including Msn2/Msn4-regulated heat-inducible genes and constitutively expressed housekeeping genes. Thus, at elevated temperature (39 °C), HDs potently inhibit the transcription of disparate genes and as demonstrated by chromatin immunoprecipitation do so by abolishing occupancy of RNA polymerase in chromatin. Concurrently, histone H3 density increased at least twofold within all gene coding and regulatory regions examined, including quiescent euchromatic loci, silent heterochromatic loci, and Pol III-transcribed loci. Our results offer a caveat for the use of HDs in studying the role of condensates in transcriptional control and provide evidence that exposure to these reagents elicits a widespread increase in nucleosome density and a concomitant loss of both Pol II and Pol III transcription.
