Abstract

Phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) in hepta-repeats YSPTSPS regulates eukaryotic transcription. Whereas Ser5 is phosphorylated in the initiation phase, Ser2 phosphorylation marks the elongation state. Here we show that the positive transcription elongation factor P-TEFb is a Ser5 CTD kinase that is unable to create Ser2/Ser5 double phosphorylations, while it exhibits fourfold higher activity on a CTD substrate pre-phosphorylated at Ser7 compared with the consensus hepta-repeat or the YSPTSPK variant. Mass spectrometry reveals an equal number of phosphorylations to the number of hepta-repeats provided, yet the mechanism of phosphorylation is distributive despite the repetitive nature of the substrate. Inhibition of P-TEFb activity is mediated by two regions in Hexim1 that act synergistically on Cdk9 and Cyclin T1. HIV-1 Tat/TAR abrogates Hexim1 inhibition to stimulate transcription of viral genes but does not change the substrate specificity. Together, these results provide insight into the multifaceted pattern of CTD phosphorylation.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
