متن کاملELL facilitates RNA polymerase II pause site entry and release
Transcription is a multi-stage process that coordinates several steps within the transcription cycle including chromatin reorganization, RNA polymerase II recruitment, initiation, promoter clearance and elongation. Recent advances have identified the super elongation complex, containing the eleven-nineteen lysine-rich leukaemia (ELL) protein, as a key regulator of transcriptional elongation. He...
متن کاملPoised RNA Polymerase II Gives Pause for Thought
Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is thought to be predominantly regulated by recruitment of Pol II to promoters. Recent genome-wide analyses demonstrate that many genes are in fact regulated after recruitment of Pol II, by mechanisms such as pausing of Pol II proximal to promoters.
متن کاملPause sites promote transcriptional termination of mammalian RNA polymerase II.
Polymerase II (Pol II) transcriptional termination depends on two independent genetic elements: poly(A) signals and downstream terminator sequences. The latter may either promote cotranscriptional RNA cleavage or pause elongating Pol II. We demonstrate that the previously characterized MAZ4 pause element promotes Pol II termination downstream of a poly(A) signal, dependent on both the proximity...
متن کاملRNA Polymerase Accommodates a Pause RNA Hairpin by Global Conformational Rearrangements that Prolong Pausing.
Sequence-specific pausing by RNA polymerase (RNAP) during transcription plays crucial and diverse roles in gene expression. In bacteria, RNA structures are thought to fold within the RNA exit channel of the RNAP and can increase pause lifetimes significantly. The biophysical mechanism of pausing is uncertain. We used single-particle cryo-EM to determine structures of paused complexes, including...
