The multisubunit transcription factor TFIID is essential for directing eukaryotic promoter recognition and mediating interactions with activators/cofactors during assembly of the preinitiation complex. Despite its central role in transcription initiation and regulation, structural knowledge of the TFIID complex has so far been largely limited to electron microscopy studies of negatively stained samples...
Loss of a nonenzymatic function of XPG results in defective transcription-coupled repair (TCR), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and early death, but the molecular basis for these phenotypes is unknown. Mutation of CSB, CSA, or the TFIIH helicases XPB and XPD can also cause defective TCR and CS. We show that XPG interacts with elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in the cell and binds stalled RNAPII ternary...
A 3' terminal RNA uridylyltransferase was purified from mitochondria of Leishmania tarentolae and the gene cloned and expressed from this species and from Trypanosoma brucei. The enzyme is specific for 3' U-addition in the presence of Mg 2+ . TUTase is present in vivo in at least two stable configurations: one contains a ~500 kDa TUTase oligomer and the other a ~700 kDa TUTase complex...
Two mitochondrial proteins with molecular masses of 18 and 51 kDa were isolated from Leishmania tarentolae, and N-terminal amino-acid sequences were obtained. The cDNAs and genes encoding these proteins were cloned using RT-PCR. The proteins were identified as components of the previously characterized mitochondrial ribonucleoprotein complexes, T-Ia and T-VI, by comigration in native gels. The...
