Three kinds of human endogenous retrovirus-like sequences (HuERS-P1, 2 and 3) were isolated from a HeLa cell genomic library using the 3'-half fragment of proline tRNA as a hybridization probe. These elements contained putative primer binding sites complementary to the 3'-terminus of proline tRNA and long terminal repeats (LTRs) characteristic of retrovirus provirus. The LTR sequence of HuERS-P...
During a productive infection by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), ICP4, the major regulatory protein encoded by the alpha4 gene, binds to its transcription initiation site and represses the accumulation of alpha4 RNA. Evidence suggests that the degree of repression by ICP4 is a function of the absolute distance of an ICP4 binding site 3' from a TATA box. However, repression of HSV-1 gene ex...
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcriptional promoter contains a single polymorphism in the TATA box. Most subtypes contain the sequence TATAAGC, but subtype E and some recombinant AG strains have the sequence TAAAAGC. Based on mutagenesis studies of cellular RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoters, it has been proposed that the subtype E TATA box is nonfunctional due to the T-t...
The cathepsin D (cath-D) gene, coding for a ubiquitous lysosomal aspartyl protease, is overexpressed in aggressive human breast cancers, and its transcription is induced by estrogens in hormone-responsive breast cancer cells. We have determined the structure and function of the proximal 5' upstream region of the human cath-D gene from MCF7 cells. We show that the promoter has a compound structu...
The bacterial virulence protein VirD2 plays an important role in nuclear import and chromosomal integration of Agrobacterium-transferred DNA in fungal, plant, animal, and human cells. Here we show that in nuclei of alfalfa cells, VirD2 interacts with and is phosphorylated by CAK2Ms, a conserved plant ortholog of cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinases. CAK2Ms binds to and phosphorylates the ...
The development of a complex body plan requires a diversity of regulatory networks. Here we consider the concept of TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) family proteins as "system factors" that each supports a distinct set of transcriptional programs. For instance, TBP activates TATA-box-dependent core promoters, whereas TBP-related factor 2 (TRF2) activates TATA-less core promoters that are dependen...
The RNA polymerase III factor TFIIIB forms a stable complex with DNA and can promote multiple rounds of initiation by polymerase. TFIIIB is composed of three subunits, the TATA binding protein (TBP), TFIIB-related factor (BRF), and B". Chemical footprinting, as well as mutagenesis of TBP, BRF, and promoter DNA, was used to probe the architecture of TFIIIB subunits bound to DNA. BRF bound to TBP...
General transcription factor TFIID is a key component of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation. Human TFIID is a megadalton-sized complex comprising TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). TBP binds to core promoter DNA, recognizing the TATA-box. We identified a ternary complex formed by TBP and the histone fold (HF) domain-containing TFIID subunits TAF11 and TAF13...
Transcription of mammalian genes by RNA polymerase II often begins at a specific nucleotide, whose location is determined either by an upstream DNA element known as a TATA box or by an element positioned at the transcription start site called an initiator (Inr). By in vitro analysis of synthetic promoters, we demonstrate here that the TATA and Inr elements are functionally similar and that the ...
The open promoter complex (OC) is a central intermediate during transcription initiation that contains a DNA bubble. Here, we employ single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer experiments and Nano-Positioning System analysis to determine the three-dimensional architecture of a minimal OC consisting of promoter DNA, including a TATA box and an 11-nucleotide mismatched region around the tr...
