Bengal, A. Goldring, and Y. Aloni, J. Biol. Chem. 264:18926-18932, 1989). Pulse-labeled transcription complexes were formed at the adenovirus major late promoter with use of HeLa cell extracts. Elongation-competent complexes were purified from most of the proteins present in the extract, as well as from loosely bound elongation factors, by high-salt gel filtration chromatography. We found that under these conditions the nascent RNA was displaced from the DNA during elongation. These column-purified complexes were used to analyze the activities of different transcription factors during elongation by RNA polymerase II. We found that transcription factor IIS (TFIIS), TFIIF, and TFIIX affected the efficiency of elongation through the adenovirus major late promoter attenuation site and a synthetic attenuation site composed of eight T residues. These factors have distinct activities that depend on whether they are added before RNA polymerase has reached the attenuation site or at the time when the polymerase is pausing at the attenuation site.

In many cases, the required speed and plasticity of the response are provided by RNA-dependent regulatory mechanisms.

  • Mechanisms of Bacterial Transcription Termination
    Review Mechanisms of Bacterial Transcription Termination Jeffrey W. Roberts Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biotechnology Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Correspondence to : [email protected] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2019.04.003 Edited by R. Ebright Abstract Bacterial transcription termination, described mostly for Escherichia coli, occurs in three recognized ways: intrinsic termination, an activity only of the core RNAP enzyme and transcript sequences that encode an RNA hairpin and terminal uridine-rich segment; termination by the enzyme Rho, an ATP-dependent RNA translocase that releases RNA by forcing uncharacterized structural changes in the elongating complex; and Mfd-dependent termination, the activity of an ATP-dependent DNA translocase that is thought to dissociate the elongation complex by exerting torque on a stalled RNAP. Intrinsic termination can be described in terms of the nucleic acid movements in the process, whereas the enzymatic mechanisms have been illuminated importantly by definitive structural and biochemical analysis of their activity. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

  • The Block to Transcriptional Elongation. Within the Human C-Myc Gene Is Determined in the Promoter-Proximal-Region
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 23, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The block to transcriptional elongation. within the human c-myc gene is determined in the promoter-proximal-region Anton Krumm, 1 Tea Meulia, 1 Mark Brunvand, 1 and Mark Groudine 1'2'3 ~Division of Basic Sciences, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98104 USA; 2Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington 98195 USA A conditional block to transcriptional elongation is an important mechanism for regulating c-myc gene expression. This elongation block within the first c-myc exon was defined originally in mammalian cells by nuclear run-on transcription analyses. Subsequent oocyte injection and in vitro transcription analyses suggested that sequences near the end of the first c-myc exon are sites of attenuation and/or premature termination. We report here that the mapping of single stranded DNA in vivo with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and nuclear run-on transcription assays reveal that polymerase is paused near position +30 relative to the major c-myc transcription initiation site. Deletion of 350 bp, including the sites of 3'-end formation and intrinsic termination defined in oocyte injection and in vitro transcription assays does not affect the pausing of polymerase in the promoter-proximal region. In addition, sequences upstream of +47 are sufficient to confer the promoter-proximal pausing of polymerases and to generate the polarity of transcription farther downstream. Thus, the promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II complexes accounts for the block to elongation within the c-myc gene in mammalian cells.

  • Chapter 10: Transcription and RNA Processing 10.1 Types of RNA
    Chapter 10: Transcription and RNA Processing 10.1 Types of RNA In Chapter 10, we will learn more about the different types of RNA and how RNA is transcribed from the DNA sequence. We will start with section 10.1 covering the types of RNA. 1 DNA vs RNA Recall that RNA has two key chemical differences from the DNA molecule. RNA uses the ribose sugar that contains the 2’-OH and it also uses the uracil base in place of thymine in DNA. 2 DNA vs RNA These minor chemical differences result in major structural differences between the molecules. While DNA is held in the rigid structure of the alpha helix, RNA is usually single stranded and therefore has much more variation in the shapes that it can adopt. RNA can largely be divided into two types, one that carries the code for making proteins or coding RNA, which is also called messenger RNA (mRNA), and non-coding RNA (ncRNA). The ncRNA can be subdivided into several different types, depending either on the length of the RNA or on the function. Size classification begins with the short ncRNAs (~20–30 nt), which include microRNAs (miRs), and small interfering (siRNAs); the small ncRNAs up to 200 nt, which include transfer RNA (tRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA); and long ncRNAs ( > 200 nt), which include ribosomal RNA (rRNA), enhancer RNA (eRNA) and long intergeneic ncRNAs (lincRNAs), among others. 3 Translation Cells access the information stored in DNA by creating RNA, through the process of transcription, which then directs the synthesis of proteins through the process of translation.
