Abstract:
Recent work including high-resolution genome-wide analysis uncovered a new trimeric complex involved in transcription elongation, both as an integral part of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase and as an independent functional entity. The complex is conserved in eukaryotes and is named TINTIN, for Trimer Independent of NuA4 for transcription Interactions with Nucleosomes. This point of view covers the current knowledge regarding TINTIN's function in modulating chromatin structure and influencing transcription elongation in eukaryotes. It also points to several physical and functional links to co-transcriptional processes, including interactions with the mRNA splicing machinery and the nuclear exosome.

Transcription Elongation Factors
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

pre-mRNA Processing
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...
