Resumen
El complejo del factor de transcripción II H (TFIIH) es esencial para la síntesis del ARN ribosomal. Este estudio revela el TFIIH.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Expresión génica de la expresión génica.
- Reparación del ADN Reparación del ADN
Sus antecedentes:
- El factor de transcripción II H (TFIIH) es un complejo proteico crucial involucrado en la reparación del ADN y la transcripción del gen codificador de proteínas.
- Su papel en la síntesis del ARN ribosomal (ARNr) no se ha establecido previamente.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de TFIIH en la síntesis de ARN ribosomal.
- Para determinar si se requiere TFIIH para la transcripción de la ARN polimerasa I.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron cepas de levadura con mutaciones sensibles a la temperatura en TFIIH.
- Se realizaron ensayos de transcripción in vitro utilizando fracciones celulares de ratón.
- Investigó la localización de TFIIH dentro del nucleolo y su asociación con la ARN polimerasa I y TIF-IB.
Principales resultados:
- La síntesis de pre-ARNr se vio afectada en las cepas mutantes de TFIIH de levadura.
- Se encontró que el TFIIH se localiza en el nucleolo y se asocia con la ARN polimerasa I y TIF-IB en células de ratón.
- Los sistemas de transcripción que carecían de TFIIH estaban inactivos, y la adición de TFIIH restauró la actividad.
- Se requería TFIIH para la transcripción productiva, pero no abortiva, del ADNr, lo que indica una función posterior a la iniciación.
Conclusiones:
- El TFIIH es esencial para la síntesis de ARN ribosómico in vivo e in vitro.
- El TFIIH juega un papel posterior a la iniciación en la transcripción de la ARN polimerasa I.
- Este trabajo establece un vínculo molecular entre la transcripción de genes de ARNr y la reparación acoplada a la transcripción.

Eukaryotic RNA Polymerases

RNA Polymerase (RNAP) is conserved in all animals, with bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic RNAPs sharing significant sequence, structural, and functional similarities. Among the three eukaryotic RNAPs, RNA Polymerase II is most similar to bacterial RNAP in terms of both structural organization and folding topologies of the enzyme subunits. However, these similarities are not reflected in their mechanism of action.
All three eukaryotic RNAPs require specific transcription factors, of which the...

Bacterial RNA Polymerase

Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria use a single RNA Polymerase (RNAP) to transcribe all genes. The different subunits of bacterial RNAPhave distinct functions. The multisubunit structure of the bacterial RNAP helps the enzyme to maintain catalytic function, facilitate assembly, interact with DNA and RNA, and self-regulate its activity.
In most genes, the transcription site is a single base present upstream of the coding sequence. Though RNAP is a catalytically efficient enzyme, it does not recognize...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins
11.0K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

Eukaryotic Transcription Activators
12.8K
Transcription activators are proteins that promote the transcription of genes from DNA to RNA. In most cases, these proteins contain two separate domains ‒ a domain that binds to DNA and a domain for activating transcription; however, in some cases, a single domain is responsible for both binding and activation of transcription, as seen in the glucocorticoid receptor and MyoD.
The binding domains are capable of recognizing and interacting with regulatory sequences on the DNA. These...
