Activation domain-mediator interactions promote transcription preinitiation complex assembly on promoter DNA.
The interaction of activators with mediator has been proposed to stimulate the assembly of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) preinitiation complexes, but there have been few tests of this model. The finding that the major adenovirus E1A and mitogen-activated protein kinase-phosphorylated Elk1 activation domains bind to Sur2 uniquely among the metazoan mediator subunits and the development of transcrip...
متن کاملTranscriptional activation: mediator can act after preinitiation complex formation.
The Mediator complex connects transcriptional activators bound at enhancers with RNA polymerase (Pol) II. demonstrate that Mediator also has an important role in transcriptional activation after recruitment of the Pol II machinery to promoters.
متن کاملTranscription activation via enhanced preinitiation complex assembly in a human cell-free system lacking TAFIIs.
In contrast to previous findings in cell-free systems reconstituted with partially purified metazoan factors, we demonstrate dramatic activation of transcription in a TBP-dependent but TAFII-independent manner in HeLa nuclear extracts immunodepleted of TBP and major TAFIIs. Single-round transcription assays reveal that TAFII-independent activation is manifested at the level of productive preini...
متن کاملH3K4me3 Interactions with TAF3 Regulate Preinitiation Complex Assembly and Selective Gene Activation
Histone modifications regulate chromatin-dependent processes, yet the mechanisms by which they contribute to specific outcomes remain unclear. H3K4me3 is a prominent histone mark that is associated with active genes and promotes transcription through interactions with effector proteins that include initiation factor TFIID. We demonstrate that H3K4me3-TAF3 interactions direct global TFIID recrui...
متن کاملDNA Topoisomerases Are Required for Preinitiation Complex Assembly during GAL Gene Activation
To investigate the importance of topoisomerases for transcription of the galactose induced genes, we have studied the expression of GAL1, GAL2, GAL7 and GAL10 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells deficient for topoisomerases I and II. We find that topoisomerases are required for transcriptional activation of the GAL genes, but are dispensable for ongoing transcription, eliminating a role of the en...
