Connections between mRNA 3' end processing and transcription termination.
نویسنده
چکیده
Discoveries within the last few years have revealed that the multiple steps in gene expression are remarkably integrated. There have recently been several advances in deciphering how mRNA 3' end processing is linked with transcription elongation and termination. It has been known for quite a long time that transcription termination is somehow intertwined with polyadenylation, but it is still unclear exactly how these two processes influence each other. Some recent reports are shedding light on these connections.

RNA polymerase II termination involves C-terminal-domain tyrosine dephosphorylation by CPF subunit Glc7
The synthesis of mRNA by Pol II involves cotranscriptional premRNA processing including 5′ capping, splicing and 3′-end processing. Pol II recruits pre-mRNA–processing factors via its CTD throughout transcription1–3, and this process is regulated by changes in CTD phosphorylation4. The CTD forms a flexible extension of Pol II consisting of 26 (yeast) or 52 (human) heptapeptide repeats of the co...
متن کاملThe Spanish Connection Transcription and mRNA Processing Get Even Closer
The synthesis of mRNA by RNA polymerase II appears coupled to numerous RNA-processing events, based on physical or functional connections revealed by biochemical or genetic tests. New findings were presented at a recent meeting in Spain that begin to illuminate the mechanisms underlying the connections between mRNA processing and specific steps in transcription (initiation, elongation, and term...
متن کاملThe role of the putative 3' end processing endonuclease Ysh1p in mRNA and snoRNA synthesis.
Pre-mRNA 3' end formation is tightly linked to upstream and downstream events of eukaryotic mRNA synthesis. The two-step reaction involves endonucleolytic cleavage of the primary transcript followed by poly(A) addition to the upstream cleavage product. To further characterize the putative 3' end processing endonuclease Ysh1p/Brr5p, we isolated and analyzed a number of new temperature- and cold-...
متن کاملThe essential N terminus of the Pta1 scaffold protein is required for snoRNA transcription termination and Ssu72 function but is dispensable for pre-mRNA 3'-end processing.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pta1 is a component of the cleavage/polyadenylation factor (CPF) 3'-end processing complex and functions in pre-mRNA cleavage, poly(A) addition, and transcription termination. In this study, we investigated the role of the N-terminal region of Pta1 in transcription and processing. We report that a deletion of the first 75 amino acids (pta1-Delta75) causes thermosensitiv...
متن کاملAn essential role for Clp1 in assembly of polyadenylation complex CF IA and Pol II transcription termination
Polyadenylation is a co-transcriptional process that modifies mRNA 3'-ends in eukaryotes. In yeast, CF IA and CPF constitute the core 3'-end maturation complex. CF IA comprises Rna14p, Rna15p, Pcf11p and Clp1p. CF IA interacts with the C-terminal domain of RNA Pol II largest subunit via Pcf11p which links pre-mRNA 3'-end processing to transcription termination. Here, we analysed the role of Clp...
