The functions of most of the 12 subunits of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) enzyme are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that two of the subunits, hRPB2 and hRPB10α, mediate the regulated stimulation of transcription. We find that the transcriptional coactivator BRCA1 interacts directly with the core Pol II complexin vitro. We tested whether single subunits from Pol II would compete with the intact Pol II complex to inhibit transcription stimulated by BRCA1. Excess purified Pol II subunits hRPB2 or hRPB10α blocked BRCA1- and VP16-dependent transcriptional activationin vitrowith minimal effect on basal transcription. No other Pol II subunits tested inhibited activated transcription in these assays. Furthermore, hRPB10α, but not hRPB2, blocked Sp1-dependent activation.
