RNA polymerase and transcription elongation factor Spt4/5 complex structure.
Spt4/5 in archaea and eukaryote and its bacterial homolog NusG is the only elongation factor conserved in all three domains of life and plays many key roles in cotranscriptional regulation and in recruiting other factors to the elongating RNA polymerase. Here, we present the crystal structure of Spt4/5 as well as the structure of RNA polymerase-Spt4/5 complex using cryoelectron microscopy recon...
متن کاملNascent RNA folding mitigates transcription-associated mutagenesis.
Transcription is mutagenic, in part because the R-loop formed by the binding of the nascent RNA with its DNA template exposes the nontemplate DNA strand to mutagens and primes unscheduled error-prone DNA synthesis. We hypothesize that strong folding of nascent RNA weakens R-loops and hence decreases mutagenesis. By a yeast forward mutation assay, we show that strengthening RNA folding and reduc...
متن کاملThe structure of bacterial RNA polymerase in complex with the essential transcription elongation factor NusA.
There are three stages of transcribing DNA into RNA. These stages are initiation, elongation and termination, and they are well-understood biochemically. However, despite the plethora of structural information made available on RNA polymerase in the last decade, little is available for RNA polymerase in complex with transcription elongation factors. To understand the mechanisms of transcription...
متن کاملProtein-RNA interactions in the active center of transcription elongation complex.
By using a crosslinkable probe incorporated into the 3' terminus of nascent transcript, three sites were mapped in Escherichia coli RNA polymerase that are contacted by the RNA in the productive elongation complex. Two of these sites are in the beta subunit and one is in the beta' subunit. During elongation, the transcription complex occasionally undergoes an arrest whereby it can neither exten...
متن کاملCooperation between translating ribosomes and RNA polymerase in transcription elongation.
During transcription of protein-coding genes, bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) is closely followed by a ribosome that translates the newly synthesized transcript. Our in vivo measurements show that the overall elongation rate of transcription is tightly controlled by the rate of translation. Acceleration and deceleration of a ribosome result in corresponding changes in the speed of RNAP. Moreove...
