Transcriptional control: Tat cofactors and transcriptional elongation
HIV-1 gene expression requires the transactivator Tat, which stimulates viral transcript elongation. Recent results show that two cellular cyclin-dependent kinases, which phosphorylate the carboxy-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase II large subunit, contact Tat and contribute to the control of transcriptional elongation.
متن کاملTumorigenesis: Transcriptional elongation and cancer
It is well established that deregulation of transcription can cause cancer, and the protein products of many oncogenes, proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are transcription factors. It has been assumed that the deregulation would occur at the level of initiation, the first step in transcription and the one that has commanded most attention. However, two recent findings call that assumpt...
متن کاملTranscriptional elongation requires DNA break-induced signalling
We have previously shown that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pause release and transcriptional elongation involve phosphorylation of the factor TRIM28 by the DNA damage response (DDR) kinases ATM and DNA-PK. Here we report a significant role for DNA breaks and DDR signalling in the mechanisms of transcriptional elongation in stimulus-inducible genes in humans. Our data show the enrichment of TRIM28...
متن کاملMisguided Transcriptional Elongation Causes Mixed Lineage Leukemia
Fusion proteins composed of the histone methyltransferase mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) and a variety of unrelated fusion partners are highly leukemogenic. Despite their prevalence, particularly in pediatric acute leukemia, many molecular details of their transforming mechanism are unknown. Here, we provide mechanistic insight into the function of MLL fusions, demonstrating that they capture a t...
متن کاملThe transition from transcriptional initiation to elongation.
Transcription is the first step in gene expression, and its regulation underlies multicellular development and the response to environmental changes. Most studies of transcriptional regulation have focused on the recruitment of RNA polymerase to promoters. However, recent work has shown that, for many promoters, post-recruitment steps in transcriptional initiation are likely to be rate limiting...
