RNA 聚合酶 II (RNAPII) 成功合成转录本是一个多阶段过程,具有不同的限速步骤,具体限速步骤可能因特定基因而异。多种生物体中越来越多的基因在招募 RNAPII 后受到逐步调控。以这种方式调节的酿酒酵母基因中最具特征的是 CYC1。该基因在非诱导条件下对 RNAPII 的占有率很高,将其定义为平衡基因。在这里,我们发现 Mediator 头模块 Med18 和 Med20 以及 Med19 的亚基是 CYC1 启动子响应环境信号激活转录所必需的。预加载的启动子需要这些介体亚基,以保证一般转录因子 TFIIH 的正常募集和活性水平。引人注目的是,这些介体成分对于不同基因上的相同激活剂的激活是可有可无的,而不同基因的启动子区域缺乏预装的聚合酶。基于这些结果和其他研究,我们推测 Mediator 在触发 CYC1 上的非活性聚合酶转化为有效延伸形式方面发挥着重要作用。
The successful synthesis of a transcript by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is a multistage process with distinct rate-limiting steps that can vary depending on the particular gene. A growing number of genes in a variety of organisms are regulated at steps after the recruitment of RNAPII. The best-characterized Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene regulated in this manner is CYC1. This gene has high occupancy of RNAPII under non-inducing conditions, defining it as a poised gene. Here, we find that subunits of the head module of Mediator, Med18 and Med20, and Med19 are required for activation of transcription at the CYC1 promoter in response to environmental cues. These subunits of Mediator are required at the preloaded promoter for normal levels of recruitment and activity of the general transcription factor TFIIH. Strikingly, these Mediator components are dispensable for activation by the same activator at a different gene, which lacks a preloaded polymerase in the promoter region. Based on these results and other studies, we speculate that Mediator plays an essential role in triggering an inactive polymerase at CYC1 into a productively elongating form.
