p53 is a general repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription.
p53 is a major tumour suppressor that is inactivated in a large proportion of human cancers. We show that p53 serves as a general repressor of transcription by RNA polymerase (pol) III. It can inhibit the synthesis of a range of essential small cellular RNAs including tRNA, 5S rRNA and U6 snRNA, as well as viral products such as the adenovirus VAI RNA. Fibroblasts derived from p53 knock-out mic...
متن کاملMolecular Structures of Transcribing RNA Polymerase I
RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is a 14-subunit enzyme that solely synthesizes pre-ribosomal RNA. Recently, the crystal structure of apo Pol I gave unprecedented insight into its molecular architecture. Here, we present three cryo-EM structures of elongating Pol I, two at 4.0 Å and one at 4.6 Å resolution, and a Pol I open complex at 3.8 Å resolution. Two modules in Pol I mediate the narrowing of the ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli RNA polymerase terminates transcription efficiently at rho-independent terminators on single-stranded DNA templates.
Several models have been proposed for the mechanism of transcript termination by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase at rho-independent terminators. Yager and von Hippel (Yager, T. D. & von Hippel, P. H. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 1097-118) postulated that the transcription complex is stabilized by enzyme-nucleic acid interactions and the favorable free energy of a 12-bp RNA-DNA hybrid but is destabil...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase I terminates transcription at the Reb1 terminator in vivo.
We have mapped transcription termination sites for RNA polymerase I in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S1 nuclease mapping shows that the primary terminator is the Reb1p terminator located at +93 downstream of the 3' end of 25S rRNA. Reverse transcription coupled with quantitative PCR shows that approximately 90% of all transcripts terminate at this site. Transcripts which read through the ...
متن کاملMutant RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli terminates transcription in strains making defective rho factor.
We have isolated a rifampicin-resistant mutant of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase that restores transcription termination in strains with a defective rho protein. In such strains, the mutant RNA polymerase terminates transcription at normally rho-dependent sites at the end of the trp operon, in bacteriophage lambda, and within the lac operon. In addition, a strain with this mutant RNA polymeras...
