Two independent transcription initiation codes overlap on vertebrate core promoters

Abstract: A core promoter is a stretch of DNA surrounding the transcription start site (TSS) that integrates regulatory inputs1 and recruits general transcription factors to initiate transcription2. The nature and causative relationship of DNA sequence and chromatin signals that govern the selection of most TSS by RNA polymerase II remain unresolved. Maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) represents the most dramatic change of the transcriptome repertoire in vertebrate life cycle3-6. Early embryonic development in zebrafi… Show more

“…Remarkably, the position of the dominant TSS alone is highly predictive of the +1 nucleosome position and reveals the presence of a sequence pattern characteristic for nucleosome bound DNA downstream of the TSS in both zebrafish [26] and human [27], further corroborating the tight relationship between nucleosome positioning and TSS selection in broad promoters.…”

“…Even though most of the strong promoter motifs and their respective locations were estimated from relatively modest amounts of pre-genome data, CAGE has provided evidence that the distance between TSS and the motifs such as TATA box or DPE is much more constrained than thought previously [24,25] -indeed, promoters with single well defined TSS are usually characterised by a fixed spacing from a motif that defines them. In addition, even weaker motifs such as nucleosome positioning sequence and general GC composition have been shown to line up precisely with most commonly used TSS position in promoters with broader initiation pattern [26,27], revealing hitherto unknown global features of this type of promoter.…”

“…They have multiple, functionally distinct 1 and sometimes physically overlapping 2 architectures, which determine their responsiveness to long-range regulation and to developmental and differentiation regulatory programs (reviewed in ref. 3).…”
