Transcription-coupled DNA repair in yeast transcription factor IIE (TFIIE) mutants.
We examined the role of yeast transcription initiation factor IIE (TFIIE) in eukaryotic transcription-coupled repair (TCR), the preferential removal of DNA damage from the transcribed strands of genes over non-transcribed sequences. TFIIE can recruit the transcription initiation/repair factor TFIIH to the RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) initiation complex to facilitate promoter clearance. Follow...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into transcription coupled DNA repair.
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) acts on lesions in the transcribed strand of active genes. Helix distorting adducts and other forms of DNA damage often interfere with the progression of the transcription apparatus. Prolonged stalling of RNA polymerase can promote genome instability and also induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These generally unfavorable events are counteracted by RNA...
متن کاملRNA polymerase mutants defective in the initiation of transcription-coupled DNA repair
The bacterial Mfd protein is a transcription-repair coupling factor that performs two key functions during transcription-coupled DNA repair. The first is to remove RNA polymerase (RNAP) complexes that have been stalled by a DNA lesion from the site of damage, and the second is to mediate the recruitment of DNA repair proteins. Mfd also displaces transcription complexes that have been stalled by...
متن کاملStructure and oligomeric state of human transcription factor TFIIE.
The general RNA polymerase II transcription factor TFIIE, which is composed of two subunits, has essential roles in both transcription initiation and promoter escape. Electron microscopy analysis of negatively stained human TFIIE showed a large proportion of alpha/beta heterodimers as well as a small proportion of tetramers. Analytical ultracentrifugation, chemical crosslinking, pulldown experi...
متن کاملTranscription bypass of DNA lesions enhances cell survival but attenuates transcription coupled DNA repair
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) is a subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER) dedicated to rapid removal of DNA lesions in the transcribed strand of actively transcribed genes. The precise nature of the TCR signal and how the repair machinery gains access to lesions imbedded in stalled RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) complexes in eukaryotic cells are still enigmatic. RNAP II has an int...
