Different human TFIIIB activities direct RNA polymerase III transcription from TATA-containing and TATA-less promoters.
Transcription initiation at RNA polymerase III promoters requires transcription factor IIIB (TFIIIB), an activity that binds to RNA polymerase III promoters, generally through protein-protein contacts with DNA binding factors, and directly recruits RNA polymerase III. Saccharomyces cerevisiae TFIIIB is a complex of three subunits, TBP, the TFIIB-related factor BRF, and the more loosely associat...
متن کاملSites of RNA polymerase III transcription initiation and Ty3 integration at the U6 gene are positioned by the TATA box.
The function of a TATA element in RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) III transcription of a naturally TATA-containing U6 snRNA gene and a naturally TATA-less tRNA gene was probed by transcription and Ty3 transposition analyses. Deletion of the TATA box from a U6 minigene did not abolish transcription and Ty3 integration but changed the positions of initiation and insertion. Insertion of the U6 TATA bo...
متن کاملPoint mutations 5' to the tRNA selenocysteine TATA box alter RNA polymerase III transcription by affecting the binding of TBP.
The selenocysteine tRNA(Sec) gene possesses two external promoter elements, one of which is constituted by a strong TATA box. Point mutant analysis performed in this study led to the conclusion that the functional TATA promoter actually encompasses the sequence -34 GGGTATAAAAGG-23. Individual changes at T-31 do not affect transcription much. Position T-29 is less permissive to mutation since tr...
متن کاملMinimal components of the RNA polymerase II transcription apparatus determine the consensus TATA box
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, multiple approaches have arrived at a consensus TATA box sequence of TATA(T/A)A(A/T)(A/G). TATA-binding protein (TBP) affinity alone does not determine TATA box function. To discover how a minimal set of factors required for basal and activated transcription contributed to the sequence requirements for a functional TATA box, we performed transcription reactions usin...
متن کاملTATA box and initiator functions in the accurate transcription of a plant minimal promoter in vitro.
The functional architecture of the proximal region of a rice phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) promoter was analyzed by transcription of PAL-beta-glucuronidase (GUS) templates by whole-cell extracts of rice cell suspension cultures. The promoter 5' truncated to position -35 was sufficient for accurate initiation of basal transcription. Substitution of the TATTTAA sequence between positions -35 ...
