Molecular Topology of RNA Polymerase I Upstream Activation Factor

Abstract: Upstream activation factor (UAF) is a multifunctional transcription factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that plays dual roles in activating RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcription and repression of Pol II. For Pol I, UAF binds to a specific upstream element in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) promoter and interacts with two other Pol I initiation factors, the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and core factor (CF). We used an integrated combination of chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (CXMS), molecular genetics, protein … Show more

“…1D ). This architecture is consistent with previous predictions ( 19 , 20 ) and is reminiscent of transcription factor complex TFIID and transcriptional coactivator SAGA, which feature histone-like octamers and hexamers and perform a parallel function in support of Pol II PIC assembly (fig. S3C).…”

“…These folds combine with two H3 and one H4 to form a hexameric histone-like core within UAF (Figure 1D). This architecture is consistent with previous predictions (Knutson et al, 2020; Smith et al, 2018) and is reminiscent of transcription factor complex TFIID and transcriptional coactivator SAGA, which feature histone-like octamers and hexamers and perform a parallel function in support of Pol II PIC assembly (Figure S3C). Similar to TFIID and SAGA, nonhistone-like elements decorate the UAF histone-like core to enable specific protein-protein interactions.…”

“…Completing the assembly, Uaf30 joins Rrn5 at the upstream end of the Rrn5-H3-H4 tetramer. Three helices of the predicted N-terminal winged helix domain contact Rrn5, consistent with previous observations that the domain interfaces with other UAF subunits (Knutson et al, 2020). The remainder of Uaf30 is unresolved, pointing to an inherent flexibility of the protein.…”

“…Transcription begins at the t ranscription s tart s ite (TSS) and Pol I and Rrn3 are released from the PIC upon transcription initiation. Several structural studies gave new insights into Pol I promoter recognition and melting, and more broadly into transcription initiation by yeast Pol I ( Blattner et al, 2011 ; Engel et al, 2013 , 2016 ; Moreno-Morcillo et al, 2014 ; Neyer et al, 2016 ; Tafur et al, 2016 ; Han et al, 2017 ; Sadian et al, 2017 ; Smith et al, 2018 ; Sadian et al, 2019 ; Tafur et al, 2019 ; Knutson et al, 2020 ). These studies will not be detailed here.…”
