Disengaging polymerase: Terminating RNA polymerase II transcription in budding yeast☆
Termination of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires two distinct processes: The formation of a defined 3' end of the transcribed RNA, as well as the disengagement of RNA polymerase from its DNA template. Both processes are intimately connected and equally pivotal in the process of functional messenger RNA production. However, research in recent years has elaborated how both processes can...
متن کاملYeast transcription elongation factor Spt5 associates with RNA polymerase I and RNA polymerase II directly.
Spt5 is a transcription factor conserved in all three domains of life. Spt5 homologues from bacteria and archaea bind the largest subunit of their respective RNA polymerases. Here we demonstrate that Spt5 directly associates with RNA polymerase (Pol) I and RNA Pol II in yeast through its central region containing conserved NusG N-terminal homology and KOW domains. Deletion analysis of SPT5 supp...
متن کاملBacterial control of host gene expression through RNA polymerase II.
The normal flora furnishes the host with ecological barriers that prevent pathogen attack while maintaining tissue homeostasis. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute a highly relevant model of microbial adaptation in which some patients infected with Escherichia coli develop acute pyelonephritis, while other patients with bacteriuria exhibit an asymptomatic carrier state similar to bacteri...
متن کاملThe RNA polymerase II transcription cycle: cycling through chromatin.
The cycle of events that characterizes RNA polymerase II transcription has been the focus of intense study over the past two decades. Our knowledge of the molecular processes leading to transcriptional initiation is greatly improved, and the focus of many recent studies has shifted towards the less well-characterized events taking place after assembly of the pre-initiation complex, such as prom...
متن کاملHuman Elongator facilitates RNA polymerase II transcription through chromatin.
A human Elongator complex was purified from HeLa cells and found to be composed of three polypeptides. Human Elongator contains histone acetyltransferase activity with specificity to histone H3 and, to a much lesser extent, to histone H4. Although many reports have suggested a role for the yeast Elongator in transcription elongation through chromatin templates, no direct evidence supporting thi...
