A composite polyadenylation signal with TATA box function.
A variant polyadenylation signal, which is conserved and employed by mammalian hepadnaviruses, has a sequence resembling that of the TATA box. We report here that this composite box manifests all the promoter characteristics. It binds effectively TATA-binding protein with TFIIB and TFIIA in a synergistic manner. This capacity, however, is lost when the box is converted to a canonical and simple...
متن کاملThinking outside the TATA box.
When I was doing my PhD research, in the middle of the last century, the nature and complexity of the RNA transcripts of the genome was a topic of lively debate, into which my own work became drawn. The complexity of the mRNA population in a given tissue, celltype or developmental stage—considered as transcripts that were polyadenylated and associated with ribosomes—was estimated to represent s...
متن کاملBidirectional binding of the TATA box binding protein to the TATA box.
By selective attachment of a DNA cleavage agent to specific residues in the yeast TATA box binding protein (yTBP), we demonstrate that, in solution, yTBP binds to the TATA boxes of both the adenovirus major late promoter and the yeast CYC1 promoter with only a modest preference in orientation and binds well to several overlapping binding sites. The general factors TFIIA and TFIIB each increase ...
متن کاملGene with an Imperfect Polyadenylation Signal Sequence
Glycoprotein (GP) Ib is a major component of the platelet membrane receptor for von Willebrand factor, designated the GP Ib-IX–V complex. GP Ib is composed of two subunits (GP Ib a and GP Ib b ) each synthesized from separate genes. The 206 amino acid precursor of GP Ib b is synthesized from a 1.0-kb mRNA expressed by megakaryocytes and was originally characterized from cDNA clones of human ery...
متن کاملCrystal structure of a human TATA box-binding protein/TATA element complex.
The TATA box-binding protein (TBP) is required by all three eukaryotic RNA polymerases for correct initiation of transcription of ribosomal, messenger, small nuclear, and transfer RNAs. The cocrystal structure of the C-terminal/core region of human TBP complexed with the TATA element of the adenovirus major late promoter has been determined at 1.9 angstroms resolution. Structural and functional...
