Transcription by SP6 RNA polymerase exhibits an ATP dependence that is influenced by promoter topology.
Transcription of linearized DNA templates by SP6 RNA polymerase requires a higher concentration of ATP than of the other three nucleotides. This requirement is not shared by T7 RNA polymerase. The ATP requirement is partially relieved when the SP6 template is supercoiled but not when it is relaxed circular DNA. The effect of supercoiling is eliminated by replacement of the A.T rich sequence dow...
متن کاملUBF activates RNA polymerase I transcription by stimulating promoter escape.
Ribosomal RNA gene transcription by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is the driving force behind ribosome biogenesis, vital to cell growth and proliferation. The key activator of Pol I transcription, UBF, has been proposed to act by facilitating recruitment of Pol I and essential basal factor SL1 to rDNA promoters. However, we found no evidence that UBF could stimulate recruitment or stabilization of t...
متن کاملTranscription by an immobilized RNA polymerase from bacteriophage T7 and the topology of transcription.
It is often assumed that a polymerase moves along the template as it synthesizes RNA. However, a polymerase that tracks along a helical strand will generate a transcript that is entwined about the template. No such interlocking results if the polymerase is immobile and the template moves past it. Therefore we investigated whether immobilization inhibits the RNA polymerase of T7 bacteriophage us...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملTranscription by an archaeal RNA polymerase is slowed but not blocked by an archaeal nucleosome.
Archaeal RNA polymerases (RNAPs) are closely related to eukaryotic RNAPs, and in Euryarchaea, genomic DNA is wrapped and compacted by histones into archaeal nucleosomes. In eukaryotes, transcription of DNA bound into nucleosomes is facilitated by histone tail modifications and chromatin remodeling complexes, but archaeal histones do not have histone tails and archaeal genome sequences provide n...
