Antibodies to the DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1 occur with highest frequency in centenarians [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity and Ageing, 2016
Recently, phage display technology has made it possible to define the circulating repertoire of humoral immunity. This study was designed to define the circulating antibodies specific to centenarians.We used a phage-displayed combinatorial peptide library to screen for peptides (YSATLRY and YSPTLFY) that preferentially react with the IgG fraction of ...

Sequence-specific double strand breaks trigger P-TEFb-dependent Rpb1-CTD hyperphosphorylation [PDF]

open access: yesMutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2013
Double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) are one of the most challenging forms of DNA damage which, if left unrepaired, can trigger cellular death and can contribute to cancer. A number of studies have been focused on DNA-damage response (DDR) mechanisms, and most of them rely on the induction of DSBs triggered by chemical compounds or radiations.

Rtr1 is required for Rpb1‐Rpb2 assembly of RNAPII and prevents their cytoplasmic clump formation

The FASEB Journal, 2022
Abstract RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is an essential machinery for catalyzing mRNA synthesis and controlling cell fate in eukaryotes. Although the structure and function of RNAPII have been relatively defined, the molecular mechanism of its assembly process is not clear.

Species delimitation inTrametes: a comparison of ITS, RPB1, RPB2 and TEF1 gene phylogenies

Mycologia, 2014
Trametes is a cosmopolitan genus of white rot polypores, including the "turkey tail" fungus, T. versicolor. Although Trametes is one of the most familiar genera of polypores, its species-level taxonomy is unsettled. The ITS region is the most commonly used molecular marker for species delimitation in fungi, but it has been shown to have a low molecular

Improving phylogenetic inference of mushrooms with RPB1 and RPB2 nucleotide sequences (Inocybe; Agaricales)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2005
Approximately 3000 bp across 84 taxa have been analyzed for variable regions of RPB1, RPB2, and nLSU-rDNA to infer phylogenetic relationships in the large ectomycorrhizal mushroom genus Inocybe (Agaricales; Basidiomycota). This study represents the first effort to combine variable regions of RPB1 and RPB2 with nLSU-rDNA for low-level phylogenetic ...

Lower level relationships in the mushroom genus Cortinarius (Basidiomycota, Agaricales): A comparison of RPB1, RPB2, and ITS phylogenies

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2005
We sampled and analyzed approximately 2900bp across the three loci from 54 taxa belonging to a taxonomically difficult group of Cortinarius subgenus Phlegmacium. The combined analyses of ITS and variable regions of RPB1 and RPB2 greatly increase the resolution and nodal support for phylogenies of these closely related species belonging to clades that ...

Novel detoxifier of spironolactone against triptolide-induced hepatotoxicity through inhibition of RPB1 degradation

Journal of Ethnopharmacology
Triptolide is a major bioactive and toxic ingredient isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii (T. wilfordii) Hook F. It exhibits potent antitumor, immunosuppressive, and anti-inflammatory biological activities; however, its clinical application is hindered by severe systemic toxicity. Two preparations of T. wilfordii, including

Rpb1 foot mutations demonstrate a major role of Rpb4 in mRNA stability during stress situations in yeast

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms, 2016
The RPB1 mutants in the foot region of RNA polymerase II affect the assembly of the complex by altering the correct association of both the Rpb6 and the Rpb4/7 dimer. Assembly defects alter both transcriptional activity as well as the amount of enzyme associated with genes.

Molecular phylogeny of Zygomycota based on EF-1α and RPB1 sequences: limitations and utility of alternative markers to rDNA

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2004
Earlier molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (nSSU rDNA) suggest that the Zygomycota are polyphyletic within the Chytridiomycota. However, these analyses failed to resolve almost all interordinal relationships among basal fungi (Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota), due to lack of sufficient characters within the nSSU
