Influenza virus intimately associates with host RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and mRNA processing machinery. Here, we use mammalian native elongating transcript sequencing (mNET-seq) to examine Pol II behavior during viral infection. We show that influenza virus executes a two-pronged attack on host transcription. First, viral infection causes decreased Pol II gene occupancy downstream of transcription start sites. Second, virus-induced cellular stress leads to a catastrophic failure of Pol II termination at poly(A) sites, with transcription often continuing for tens of kilobases. Defective Pol II termination occurs independently of the ability of the viral NS1 protein to interfere with host mRNA processing. Instead, this termination defect is a common effect of diverse cellular stresses and underlies the production of previously reported downstream-of-gene transcripts (DoGs). Our work has implications for understanding not only host-virus interactions but also fundamental aspects of mammalian transcription. Display omitted •Influenza virus infection dysregulates host transcription•Viral infection depletes Pol II from gene bodies downstream of the TSS•Virus-induced stress leads to a catastrophic failure of Pol II termination•Defective termination does not require viral NS1: host CPSF30 interaction Bauer et al. investigate the effects of influenza virus infection on host RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription genome-wide. They find that infection leads to dysregulation at both the starts and ends of genes. Their work provides insight into both virus-host interactions and fundamental mechanisms of mammalian transcription.
