A severely defective TATA-binding protein-TFIIB interaction does not preclude transcriptional activation in vivo.
In yeast cells, mutations in the TATA-binding protein (TBP) that disrupt the interaction with the TATA element or with TFIIA can selectively impair the response to acidic activator proteins. We analyzed the transcriptional properties of TBP derivatives in which residues that directly interact with TFIIB were replaced by alanines. Surprisingly, a derivative with a 50-fold defect in TBP-TFIIB-TAT...
متن کاملA new class of activation-defective TATA-binding protein mutants: evidence for two steps of transcriptional activation in vivo.
Using a genetic screen, we isolated four TATA-binding protein (TBP) mutants that are specifically defective in vivo for the response to acidic activators. In contrast to previously described activation-defective TBP mutants, these TBP derivatives are not specifically defective for interactions with TATA elements or TFIIA. Three of these derivatives interact normally with a TATA element, TFIIA, ...
متن کاملInterdependent interactions between TFIIB, TATA binding protein, and DNA.
Temperature-sensitive mutants of TFIIB that are defective for essential interactions were isolated. One mutation (G204D) results in disruption of a protein-protein contact between TFIIB and TATA binding protein (TBP), while the other (K272I) disrupts an interaction between TFIIB and DNA. The TBP gene was mutagenized, and alleles that suppress the slow-growth phenotypes of the TFIIB mutants were...
متن کاملIncreased recruitment of TATA-binding protein to the promoter by transcriptional activation domains in vivo.
The rate at which the TATA-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the TATA element and promotes transcription by RNA polymerase II was determined in yeast cells. A TBP derivative with altered TATA-element specificity was rapidly induced, and transcription from promoters with appropriately mutated TATA elements was measured. Without a functional activator protein, basal transcription was observed ...
متن کاملTranscriptional activation by TFIIB mutants that are severely impaired in interaction with promoter DNA and acidic activation domains.
Biochemical experiments indicate that the general transcription factor IIB (TFIIB) can interact directly with acidic activation domains and that activators can stimulate transcription by increasing recruitment of TFIIB to promoters. For promoters at which recruitment of TFIIB to promoters is limiting in vivo, one would predict that transcriptional activity should be particularly sensitive to TF...
