Yeast transcription elongation factor Spt5 associates with RNA polymerase I and RNA polymerase II directly.
Spt5 is a transcription factor conserved in all three domains of life. Spt5 homologues from bacteria and archaea bind the largest subunit of their respective RNA polymerases. Here we demonstrate that Spt5 directly associates with RNA polymerase (Pol) I and RNA Pol II in yeast through its central region containing conserved NusG N-terminal homology and KOW domains. Deletion analysis of SPT5 supp...
متن کاملDrosophila RNA polymerase II elongation factor DmS-II has homology to mouse S-II and sequence similarity to yeast PPR2.
DmSII is a Drosophila RNA polymerase II elongation factor which suppresses pausing by RNA polymerase II at specific sites on double stranded templates. Using antibodies produced against the purified protein, a Drosophila cDNA expression library was screened and a cDNA was isolated which encoded a portion of DmSII. When this cDNA was used to probe Kc cell mRNA the predominant species was found t...
متن کاملControl of Transcriptional Elongation by RNA Polymerase II: A Retrospective
The origins of our current understanding of control of transcription elongation lie in pioneering experiments that mapped RNA polymerase II on viral and cellular genes. These studies first uncovered the surprising excess of polymerase molecules that we now know to be situated at the at the 5' ends of most genes in multicellular organisms. The pileup of pol II near transcription start sites refl...
متن کاملTranscriptional elongation control by RNA polymerase II: a new frontier.
The transcription elongation complex, once thought to be composed of merely the DNA template, RNA polymerase II and the nascent RNA transcript, is now burgeoning as a unit as multifaceted and complicated as the transcription initiation complex. Studies concentrated in defining the elongation stage of transcription during the past recent years have resulted in the discovery of a diverse collecti...
متن کاملRegulation of RNA Polymerase II Elongation by c-Myc
The genome-wide mapping presented in this issue by Rahl et al. (2010) demonstrates how the transcription factor c-Myc interfaces with the machinery that controls RNA polymerase II elongation. These findings account for the ability of c-Myc to activate the expression of a large number of genes that promote rapid proliferation.
