Spt5 Cooperates with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Tat by Preventing Premature RNA Release at Terminator Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat protein activates transcription elongation by stimulating the Tat-activated kinase (TAK/p-TEFb), a protein kinase composed of CDK9 and its cyclin partner, cyclin T1.

THOC5 complexes with DDX5, DDX17, and CDK12 to regulate R loop structures and transcription elongation rate

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: THOC5, a member of the THO complex, is essential for the 3′processing of some inducible genes, the export of a subset of mRNAs and stem cell survival.

Impact of template backbone heterogeneity on RNA polymerase II transcription. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Variations in the sugar component (ribose or deoxyribose) and the nature of the phosphodiester linkage (3'-5' or 2'-5' orientation) have been a challenge for genetic information transfer from the very beginning of evolution.

Writing a wrong: Coupled RNA polymerase II transcription and RNA quality control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Processing and maturation of precursor RNA species is coupled to RNA polymerase II transcription. Co-transcriptional RNA processing helps to ensure efficient and proper capping, splicing, and 3' end processing of different RNA species to help ensure ...

RNA Polymerase II: Just Stopping By [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2007
In this issue of Cell, Guenther et al. (2007) analyze the presence of chromatin marks and RNA polymerase at transcription start sites in the human genome. Their results reveal that many "inactive" genes harbor histone marks associated with active transcription at their 5' ends and that although these genes initiate transcription, they do not generate ...

Modulation of RNA primer formation by Mn(II)-substituted T7 DNA primase

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Lagging strand DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase requires RNA primers produced by DNA primase. The N-terminal primase domain of the gene 4 protein of phage T7 comprises a zinc-binding domain that recognizes a specific DNA sequence and an RNA polymerase ...

SAF-A forms a complex with BRG1 and both components are required for RNA polymerase II mediated transcription. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Scaffold attachment factor A (SAF-A) participates in the regulation of gene expression by organizing chromatin into transcriptionally active domains and by interacting directly with RNA polymerase II. METHODOLOGY: Here we use co-localization,

Attenuation of RNA polymerase II pausing mitigates BRCA1-associated R-loop accumulation and tumorigenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Most BRCA1-associated breast tumours are basal-like yet originate from luminal progenitors. BRCA1 is best known for its functions in double-strand break repair and resolution of DNA replication stress.

RNA Polymerase II Elongation Control

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1998
Regulation of the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is utilized extensively to generate the pattern of mRNAs needed to specify cell types and to respond to environmental changes. After Pol II initiates, negative elongation factors cause it to pause in a promoter proximal position. These polymerases are poised to respond to

Structure of transcribing RNA polymerase II-nucleosome complex

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Eukaryotic transcription requires passage of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) through chromatin, which is impaired by nucleosomes. Here the authors report the cryo-EM structure of transcribing Pol II engaged with a downstream nucleosome core particle at an ...
