Subunits shared by eukaryotic nuclear RNA polymerases.
RNA polymerases I, II, and III share three subunits that are immunologically and biochemically indistinguishable. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that encode these subunits (RPB5, RPB6, and RPB8) were isolated and sequenced, and their transcriptional start sites were deduced. RPB5 encodes a 25-kD protein, RPB6, an 18-kD protein, and RPB8, a 16-kD protein. These genes are single copy, reside ...
متن کاملSequence divergence of the RNA polymerase shared subunit ABC14.5 (Rpb8) selectively affects RNA polymerase III assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
ABC14.5 (Rpb8) is a eukaryotic subunit common to all three nuclear RNA polymerases. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ABC14.5 (Rpb8) is essential for cell viability, however its function remains unknown. We have cloned and characterised the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rpb8(+) cDNA. We found that S.pombe rpb8, unlike the similarly diverged human orthologue, cannot substitute for S.cerevisiae ABC14. 5 i...
متن کاملBRCA1 ubiquitinates RPB8 in response to DNA damage.
The breast and ovarian tumor suppressor BRCA1 catalyzes untraditional polyubiquitin chains that could be a signal for processes other than proteolysis. However, despite intense investigations, the mechanisms regulated by the enzyme activity remain only partially understood. Here, we report that BRCA1-BARD1 mediates polyubiquitination of RPB8, a common subunit of RNA polymerases, in response to ...
متن کاملStructure of an archaeal RNA polymerase.
Related multisubunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs) carry out gene transcription in all kingdoms of life. Since structural information is limited to bacterial and eukaryotic RNAPs, we determined the cryo-electron microscopic structure of the RNAP from the thermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus at 13 A resolution. Comparison with eukaryotic RNAP II reveals a conserved architecture, no homologues for...
متن کاملStructural and functional analyses of the interaction of archaeal RNA polymerase with DNA
Multi-subunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs) in all three domains of life share a common ancestry. The composition of the archaeal RNAP (aRNAP) is not identical between phyla and species, with subunits Rpo8 and Rpo13 found in restricted subsets of archaea. While Rpo8 has an ortholog, Rpb8, in the nuclear eukaryal RNAPs, Rpo13 lacks clear eukaryal orthologs. Here, we report crystal structures of the DN...
