Transcripts That Increase the Processivity and Elongation Rate of RNA Polymerase

Transcripts encoded by the cis-acting antitermination sites (put sites) of lambdoid phage HK022 promote readthrough of downstream transcription terminators. Proper conformation of the transcripts is essential for activity, since put mutations that prevent the formation of predicted RNA stems prevented antitermination, and suppressor mutations that restore the stems restored antitermination. Ant...

Distinction and relationship between elongation rate and processivity of RNA polymerase II in vivo.

A number of proteins and drugs have been implicated in the process of transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase (Pol) II, but the factors that govern the elongation rate (nucleotide additions per min) and processivity (nucleotide additions per initiation event) in vivo are poorly understood. Here, we show that a mutation in the Rpb2 subunit of Pol II reduces both the elongation rate and proc...

DSIF, a novel transcription elongation factor that regulates RNA polymerase II processivity, is composed of human Spt4 and Spt5 homologs.

We report the identification of a transcription elongation factor from HeLa cell nuclear extracts that causes pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in conjunction with the transcription inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB). This factor, termed DRB sensitivity-inducing factor (DSIF), is also required for transcription inhibition by H8. DSIF has been purified and is co...

An 8 nt RNA triggers a rate-limiting shift of RNA polymerase II complexes into elongation.

To better understand the critical conversions that RNA polymerase II complexes undergo during promoter escape, we determined in vitro the precise positions of the rate-limiting step and the last step requiring negative superhelicity or TFIIE and TFIIH. We found that both steps occur after synthesis of an 8 nt RNA during the stage encompassing translocation of the polymerase active site to the n...

Processivity in early stages of transcription by T7 RNA polymerase.

Immediately following initiation of transcription, T7 RNA polymerase enters a phase in which dissociation of the enzyme-DNA-RNA ternary complex significantly competes with elongation, a process referred to in the Escherichia coli enzyme as abortive cycling [Carpousis, A.J., & Gralla, J.D. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 3245-3253]. Characterization of this process in the T7 RNA polymerase system under ...
