View SamplesTranscription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and a cause of genome instability. Such instability increases in mutants with a suboptimal assembly of the nascent messenger ribonucleo-protein particle (mRNP), as THO/TREX and the NPC-associated THSC/TREX-2 complex.

View SamplesGene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export.

View SamplesTranscription is a major contributor to genome instability. A main cause of transcription-associated instability relies on the capacity of transcription to stall replication. Such genome instability is increased in RNAPII mutants.

View SamplesIn the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cleavage factor I (CFI) and cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) build the core of the transcription termination machinery. CFI comprises the Rna14, Rna15, Pcf11, and Clp1 proteins, as well as the associated Hrp5 RNA-binding protein. We found that CFI participates in the DNA damage response and that rna14-1 shows synthetic growth defects with mutants of different repair pathways, including homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, post replicative repair, mismatch repair, and nucleotide excision repair, implicating that impaired RNAPII termination and 3-end processing decreases the cellular tolerance for DNA damage. Beyond replication progression defects, we found that bypass of the G1/S checkpoint in rna14-1 cells leads to synthetic sickness, accumulation of phosphorylated H2A, as well as increase in Rad52-foci and in recombination. Our data provide evidence that CFI dysfunction impairs RNAPII turnover, leading to replication hindrance and lower tolerance to exogenous DNA damage. These findings underscore the importance of coordination between transcription termination, DNA repair and replication in the maintenance of genomic stability.

View SamplesThe conserved FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) complex is a chromatin-reorganizing complex that promotes RNAPII transcription through chromatin templates by interacting with histones. It facilitates promoter activation by nucleosome eviction, and transcription elongation by nucleosome disruption and reassembly ahead and behind the RNAP. It also has a role in replication not fully understood yet. Genome-wide microarray analyses in spt16-11 and pob3-7 strains revealed a set of genes whose mRNA levels were altered with respect to the WT levels. These include 48 up-regulated and 80 down-regulated genes that are common to both strains. The up-regulated genes were longer and expressed at lower levels than the genome average whereas the down-regulated genes were more similar to the average of the genome.
The yeast and human FACT chromatin-reorganizing complexes solve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts.
