Structural Snapshots of Actively Translating Human Ribosomes
Macromolecular machines, such as the ribosome, undergo large-scale conformational changes during their functional cycles. Although their mode of action is often compared to that of mechanical machines, a crucial difference is that, at the molecular dimension, thermodynamic effects dominate functional cycles, with proteins fluctuating stochastically between functional states defined by energetic...
متن کاملActively transcribing RNA polymerase II concentrates on spliced leader genes in the nucleus of Trypanosoma cruzi.
RNA polymerase II of trypanosomes, early diverging eukaryotes, transcribes long polycistronic messages, which are not capped but are processed by trans-splicing and polyadenylation to form mature mRNAs. The same RNA polymerase II also transcribes the genes coding for the spliced leader RNA, which are capped, exported to the cytoplasm, processed, and reimported into the nucleus before they are u...
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 کاملSnapshots of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation.
Several papers published within the last year utilize innovative techniques for characterizing intermediates in RNA polymerase II transcription. Structural studies of polymerase and its associated factors provide a detailed picture of the transcription machinery, and studies of transcription complex assembly both in vitro and in vivo provide insights into the mechanism of gene expression. A hig...
متن کاملStructural Basis of the Influenza A Virus RNA Polymerase
Because the influenza A virus has an RNA genome, its RNAdependent RNA polymerase, comprising the PA, PB1, and PB2 subunits, is essential for viral transcription and replication. The binding of RNAprimers/promoters to the polymerases is an initiation step in viral transcription. In our current study, we reveal the 2.7 Å tertiary structure of the C-terminal RNA-binding domain of PB2 by x-ray crys...
