Purification of the Drosophila RNA polymerase II general transcription factors.
We describe a fractionation and purification scheme for the Drosophila RNA polymerase II general transcription factors. Drosophila TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II have been purified to greater than 50% homogeneity from Drosophila embryo nuclear extracts. TFIID has been purified 80-fold and is not significantly contaminated with any of the other general factors. This is the first repo...
متن کاملGenes Encoding Drosophila melanogaster RNA Polymerase II General Transcription Factors
How have the factors required for transcription initiation (TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II [pol II]) evolved to accommodate the elaborate transcriptional programs required for growth, differentiation, and development of multicellular organisms? Here we present analysis of the recently completed Drosophila melanogaster genome sequence, as well as those of Caenorh...
متن کاملFractionation of the general RNA polymerase II transcription factors from Drosophila embryos.
We have subdivided the components of the basic RNA polymerase II machinery from Drosophila embryos into three fractions and RNA polymerase II. The RNA polymerase II was 90% homogeneous and possessed the IIa form of the largest subunit. By substitution of these factors with their mammalian homologues in reconstituted transcription reactions, we have determined that the three Drosophila fractions...
متن کاملRecycling of the general transcription factors during RNA polymerase II transcription.
We have analyzed the fate of the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) general transcription factors during the transition from initiation to elongation using multiple approaches. We demonstrate that all of the basal factors coexist in mature initiation complexes but that following nucleotide addition, this complex becomes disrupted. During this transition, TFIID remains promoter-bound whereas TFIIB, TFII...
متن کاملTranscription syndromes and the role of RNA polymerase II general transcription factors in human disease.
Messenger RNA synthesis is a major site for the regulation of gene expression. Eukaryotic messenger RNA synthesis is catalyzed by multisubunit RNA polymerase II (1–3) and proceeds via multiple stages, which are designated preinitiation, initiation, elongation, and termination and which have come to be referred to collectively as the transcription cycle (Fig. 1). The past decade was a watershed ...
